...Saturday afternoon in the summer of 2010, Gazmend Haxhia (Gazi), President of Albanian Center of Management Services and Avis Rent a Car Albania, together with Anila his business partner and wife of nine years were sitting in their office in Rogner Hotel in Tirana and contemplating the future of their multiple businesses. As Licensee Proprietor and President of Avis Rent A Car Albania, Managing Director of the OPEL General Motors Albanian Representation, Co-Chairman of Albanian Center for Management Services (ACMS), Owner of Albanian Experience travel agency, Cofounder of the architecture and urban planning academic institution Polis University, Gazi has worked hard to effect change and produce businesses reflecting the intersection of entrepreneurship, creativity, fairness and sound management. Everyone would have envied this career – and all in only 15 years. But Gazi was not satisfied, and with the enthusiasm of an eternal optimist that is a landmark trait of Gazi‟s, he was posing the next challenge: What lies next as the growing of existing businesses was not what he was looking for? Gazi was thinking about „The Next Big Thing.‟ He felt himself at a crossroads: What‟s next? Embarking on something new? Is identifying growth areas the new challenge for the future? Other questions which crossed his mind: How to run existing and new businesses? Are 24 hours a day enough? Will physical time be a serious obstacle for him? Is he supposed to create a line of managers, willing to take...

...the entrepreneurial grid. Design/methodology/approach – Kibbutz communities are the level of analysis. Using a comprehensive questionnaire, a sample of 60 Kibbutzim – constituting 22 percent of the population of Kibbutz communities in Israel – was investigated over a period of ten years. The same questionnaire was administered to the same sample Kibbutzim (Kibbutzim is the plural of Kibbutz) in 1994, 1997 and 2004. Collected data include number and types of enterprises, economic strength, organizational size and age, and features of organizational structure and culture. Findings – Quantitative data analysis revealed a significant increase of entrepreneurial activity of Kibbutz communities in terms of frequency, degree and intensity of entrepreneurship. Organizational size and age have an impact on entrepreneurial intensity as well as the existence of an “entrepreneurial vehicle.” On the entrepreneurial grid Kibbutzim are moving from the incremental/periodic cluster towards the dynamic cluster, but few meaningful breakthroughs can be observed. Research limitations/implications – More research is needed in order to understand the interrelationship between community environments and...

Total 10631500 0 Sex and Age-based Structure of the Population (Table-2) shows that like the male population of the country, the women represent a vast resource for the country.

...and learning experiences from other courses become entrepreneurial graduates capable of impacting on their environment while being globally competitive. Ideally, entrepreneurship education should be an off shoot of all disciplines. The primary discipline should provide skills capable of generating goods and services that would be demanded and create income. This education will thus help students to utilize learned skills to generate self employment thereby reducing the population of our graduate seeking jobs to the barest minimum. This will also reduce the level of unemployment nationally. The materials in the book are contributed by scholars from different intellectual backgrounds to produce a rich and highly stimulating compilation. The book gives a vivid background of the history of entrepreneurship from the rudimentary to the modern age. It provides ideas on principles and skills involved in sustaining entrepreneurship, potentials of businesses and entrepreneurs, types of enterprises and contributions of entreprenures to local, national and global economy. 2.0 Course description The concept and scope of entrepreneurship; the nature and forms of business ownership in entreneurship; entreneurship in Nigeria: an overview; mega-entrepreneurs: a prosopographical historical study of nigerian entrepreneurship, 1850-2000; transnational corporations and...
