Progress-driven entrepreneurs, private equity finance and regulatory issues

This book is a study of the elements necessary to foster the reinvention and renewal of a country's economic engine, through the mobilization of investors to commit to private equity pools. The book offers case studies of progress-driven entrepreneurs with differing backgrounds and endeavours, drawn from contemporary economies ₆ developed and developing. The cases illustrate the fundamental characteristics of this type of business leader, whose goal is focussed on promoting the well being of their stakeholders and communities. These entrepreneurs, the book argues, are engineers of societal progress, since their activities can stimulate a continuous bloom of new opportunities and provide inspiration to other budding entrepreneurs to do likewise. In order to develop such progress-driven entrepreneurs, it is crucial to build up an enabling environment - with particular attention to the need for ready access to risk-capital and know-how - vital inputs for entrepreneurs. Private equity finance is thus a potential key factor of value. To gear such value creation for the benefit of society at large, an appropriate, finely-tuned framework of governmental regulations is paramount.
