Entrepreneurship in Indigenous Communities
Editors for the Special Issue:
Prof Howard Frederick, Unitec New Zealand (Auckland)
Dr Dennis Foley, Swinburne University of Technology (Melbourne)
Due date for submission is October 15, 2007.
Around the world there is a growing awareness that policies directed to
re-igniting and / or developing new Indigenous entrepreneurial activity has
the potential to dramatically improve economic and social well-being.
Best-practice lessons show that Indigenous people can improve their
standards of living through enterprise. As former UN Secretary General Kofi
Annan once said, Entrepreneurs have the power to create the greatest change
for their own countries.
In this special issue we focus on enterprise, broadly defined, in Indigenous
communities. This often means business enterprises but it can also mean
enterprises with much broader goals, many of them social / cultural /
environmental rather than economic, and they exhibit diverse forms of
ownership, organization and operation.
We seek research articles, well-developed case studies and book reviews that
deal with successes and failures, explore theoretical perspectives, distil
key practices, detect common pitfalls, and identify policy issues and
options.
The topic area should focus on communities, but the content is open. We
welcome articles that deal with Financing of Indigenous Enterprise;
Marketing Indigenous Products and Service; Gaming, Media and Design;
Indigenous Women; Education & Training; Commercial & Professional
Infrastructure; Role of Culture; Role of Government Agencies; Case Studies
from around the world.
Research articles should not exceed 25 pages. Cases and book reviews may be
as short as five pages.
