Presenting a new interpretation of entrepreneurial behaviour, this book focuses on how entrepreneurs consider the future, looking at their social practices, language and rituals through which they neutralize or smoothen future unknowns. The study theorizes entrepreneurial behaviour as 'future-work': the social practices, language and rituals through which entrepreneurs neutralize or smoothen future unknowns. The study is grounded in ethnographic case material from global frontiers: second-hand car dealers in West Africa; exporters of fresh fish from Lake Victoria, East Africa; farmed fish entrepreneurs in Greece; and investment bankers in Financial America. It targets students and scholars from the social sciences and economics, and it has theoretical and practical implications.

Rigorous nonpartisan research on the effects of economic forces and public policy on entrepreneurship and innovation. Entrepreneurship and innovation are widely recognized as drivers of economic dynamics and long-term prosperity. This series communicates key findings about the implications of entrepreneurial and innovative activity across the economy. In the first paper, Joseph Barberio, Jacob Becraft, Zied Ben Chaouch, Dimitris Bertsimas, Tasuku Kitada, Michael Li, Andrew Lo, Kevin Shi, and Qingyang Xu explore pharmaceutical firms' weak incentives to develop vaccines against prospective diseases-due to high investment risks, low expected returns, and the rarity of pandemics- and consider a portfolio approach to financing vaccine research. Next, Daniel Hemel and Lisa Larrimore Ouellette describe a "trilemma" between quality, price, and access that appears after a generic pharmaceuticals patent expires, and show that it is difficult in a regulatory context to achieve distinct goals around price, access, and quality simultaneously. In the third paper, Silvia Dalla Fontana and Ramana Nanda examine the role of patents in the transition to a carbon-free world. They find relative to other technological areas, "Net Zero patents" are close to the scientific frontier, but due to difficulties of commercializing inventions, the share of such patents that are venture-backed has been increasingly directed to areas outside clean tech and other "deep" technologies. Jacquelyn Pless examines the effects of divestment from firms in "dirty" industries on innovation to combat climate change, or "green innovation." She finds that compared with divesting, investing in firms and engaging with green corporate governance practices may induce more green innovation. Next, Robert Fairlie and David Robinson find that Black-owned innovative-intensive new businesses start smaller than their peers and do not converge in size over time. Differential access to bank financing is a major factor. Also "soft information," which can help new businesses without established track records, can increase barriers for black founders and limit entrepreneurial pathways to prosperity. Finally, Jonathan Gruber, Simon Johnson, and Enrico Moretti consider the regional concentration of innovative activity in the United States. They find that while the concentration of activity has net advantages today, understanding the long-term benefits of more diffuse innovation clusters -including equity, industrial diversification, and talent development-is important.

Passive income is important because it will ad income to your bottom line without taking hours of your time like a 9-5 job. An example could be money you earn on the stock market, from rental income or dividends. It is considered passive income if you do not have to be totally "active" in earning it. That does not mean you will not spend any time earning it, but not like a 40/hr per week job.

Dieses Buch ist ein erster Aufschlag, um die Auseinandersetzung mit dem Metaverse in Wissenschaft und Praxis voranzutreiben. Wie wird das Metaverse aussehen? Worum geht es? Wo stehen wir? Was benötigen wir? Wohin geht die Reise? Zunächst ist das Metaverse eine Idee bzw. ein Versprechen. Ralf T. Kreutzer und Sonja Klose versuchen, eine Vision greifbar und vorstellbar zu machen. Wie beim Internet ist es zu diesem Zeitpunkt schwierig vorherzusagen, welche Entwicklungen und Technologien von welchen Personen und Unternehmen in welcher Art und Weise erstellt und kombiniert werden.Die Autoren nehmen Sie an die Hand und empfehlen Ihnen: Ignorieren Sie diese Entwicklungen nicht! Es müssen nicht gleich umfassende Investitionen ins Metaverse getätigt werden. Aber ein paar Fingerübungen sind ratsam. Damit Sie schon an Bord sind, wenn der Zug tatsächlich Fahrt aufnimmt. Außerdem kann es Ihnen beim Employer Branding zu Vorteilen verhelfen, wenn sichtbar wird, dass Sie sich auch mit spannenden Zukunftsthemen beschäftigen.¿Das vorliegende Werk zeigt einen spannenden, wissenschaftlich gut fundierten Blick auf das Metaverse.¿ Dirk Lueth, Co-Founder von Upland und Mitverfasser des Werkes ¿Navigating the Metaverse¿

Innovation research has investigated the relevance of innovations for organizational competitiveness and the role of innovations for social as well as economic welfare. Accordingly, scholars and practitioners frequently emphasize the innovation processes that lead to desired innovative outcomes. Nevertheless, these innovation processes have to be carried out by motivated individuals. Increasingly, academic literature takes the mindsets of these actors into consideration. However, diverging conceptualizations limit our understanding of the term "mindset" and the role of individuals¿ mindsets in organizational innovation efforts. This book aims at opening the ¿black box¿ of innovation as a mindset. Linking mindset theories from social psychology to the context of frugal innovation, the author provides rigorous conceptual work on mindsets in innovation. This conceptual research is supported by findings from two empirical studies. This book makes important contributions to theoryand practice: to academic research by developing conceptual clarity on understanding innovation as a mindset and providing supportive empirical evidence, and to innovation practice by showing how a detailed understanding of individuals¿ mindsets can inform evidence-based change interventions.
