Abstract: Abstract In searching for the identification of entrepreneurial characteristics as they relate to progress, three inspiring case studies are presented here, and evaluated within their historical and socio-economic context. They are drawn from both developed and developing countries across three continents — America, Asia and Africa. The cited entrepreneurs are chosen for their roles as engines or accelerators of ‘net value creation’ for the benefit of their stakeholders. The latter comprise, in particular, those who have a legitimate interest in the success of the business — notably employees, investors, various business partners, the surrounding community, and the local or national authorities. Stakeholders’ interests cover, inter alia, the pursuit of business profitability, balanced sharing in benefits, and societal progress.
