Among the top five countries to start a business, four—Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand—are from Asia. Yet, despite the growing prominence of countries outside of North America and Europe in the entrepreneurship ecosystem, much of what we learn about entrepreneurship comes from these countries. This book provides its readers with key foundational knowledge in entrepreneurship theory and practice, especially how the regulatory, demographic, social, economic, and political conditions in Asia enable (or sometimes hinder) enterprising individuals to start, develop, and grow their business ventures. Whether you are a student, educator, or participant (or even observer) in the entrepreneurship ecosystem, you will find this a useful introduction to entrepreneurship in Asia. You will find the numerous vignettes of entrepreneurs and Asian businesses to be illuminating, interesting, and instructive. Readers can expect to gain a comprehensive overview of practices and frameworks pertinent to entrepreneurship. Examples include the intellectual property considerations in Asia, challenges faced by entrepreneurs, and navigating how business ventures internationalize.
