ABSTRACT

This introduction presents an overview of the key concepts discussed in the subsequent chapters of this book. The book focuses on the cultural aspects that influence the appearance of multipreneurship. Studying and presenting multipreneurship can be also quite frustrating, as most subjects that deal with expressions of human intelligence, but it can also be stimulating and revealing as it unfolds the practices and potential of the human intellect. Multipreneurship is an island in a sea of entrepreneurship and would be extremely difficult to identify accurately clear cases of unsuccessful attempts at the same level of public awareness as the successes. The book provides the expression of multipreneurship at the micro level first and then the macro levels. It attempts to bring our findings to the policy-making level so governments and public institutions help them formulate strategies and take actions that would allow the scaling-up of multipreneurship. The book also provides the phenomenon of mulitpreneurship as a means for economic growth.
