Abstract

This symposia addresses the relationship between entrepreneurship and economic, political, and social development – thus "developmental entrepreneurship." In particular, the symposia will address these issues from a specific, or more micro-point of view, that is, from the context of entrepreneurship and its relationship to a specific form of development – social and economic development for a specific geographical area or region (such as an impoverished urban district), or social and economic development for a specific sub-group of the population (such as minorities or immigrants) to name a few. By its very nature, such an approach to developmental entrepreneurship needs to draw upon a cross-section of approaches, including entrepreneurship management, ethnic entrepreneurship and regional economic development. Specific topics include: a) community development venture capital: comparing urban and rural approaches, b) entrepreneurial evolution and development in early stages of immigration, and c) manifestation of the free market ideology among newly freed slaves: the impact of capital deprivation and market failure.
