Veal (politics, Aubrun U.), Grenell (associate provost for
diversity, Marquette U.) and their contributors examine both development
and entrepreneurial research strategies in this collection of 12
articles from leading experts, covering the lessons from history about
nonprofits and their link to entrepreneurial opportunities, the
evolution of state and local minority business procurement policy,
Atlanta as an example of the development of ethnic business enterprise,
the state of the African American entrepreneurship movement, strategies
for preventing the digital divide, an entrepreneurial experiment in
controlling water pollution, and the creation of wealth from the
perspective of the "Fourth Wave." Articles on research
strategies cover the Black farmers' settlement, entrepreneurs'
perceptions of policy in South Africa, the challenge of transformation
within the regulatory environment of the gambling industry and the
barriers still faced by historically underutilized business in local
procurement.
