Global, Regional, and National Entrepreneurial Ecosystems : Exploring the Interplay Within the MENA Region

Governments and academics are increasingly interested in understanding the entrepreneurial ecosystems (EEs) phenomenon as a comprehensive theoretical and practical framework to foster resilient economies.

Current literature on the EEs mainly concentrates on studies investigating more developed ecosystems with less evidence and understanding of ecosystem dynamics in regions with limited resources.

Global, Regional, and National Entrepreneurial Ecosystems includes chapters with empirical and conceptual studies conducted in the MENA region on theories and practices related to understanding the interplay of stakeholders to support the development of entrepreneurial activities collaboratively.

The book provides an understanding into many topics including the cultural effects on entrepreneurial activities, family businesses, entrepreneurship education, role of SMEs, policies, and women entrepreneurship. This book serves as an introduction to entrepreneurship and a guide to transforming ideas into a reality in the MENA region.

It provides solid research and theoretical background in the literature on entrepreneurial ecosystems.

It could be used for topics of technology commercialization, business plan, innovation, and business models.
