Chapter 1 in Microentrepreneurship in a Developing Country, 2021, pp 1-5 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter presents a broad introduction to the nature of entrepreneurial activity in a developing country. It motivates microentrepreneurship as occurring in different forms such as self-employment, registered and unregistered enterprises, and new start-ups in formal and informal sectors, amongst others. It suggests that examining the multiple aspects of entrepreneurial activity through the unifying lens of space can offer new insights for policymaking while giving a more comprehensive picture of entrepreneurship in a developing country context.
