"Let us at once take friendly leave of each other."In her book, George Mason: Constitutionalist, Helen Hill describes the debate during the 1787 convention in terms of sectionalism, meaning that the northern states did not want to form a centralized union with the southern slaveocracy.Hill writes, "The sense of sectionalism became so strong that some of the members saw no solution but to organize two confederacies...on July 13 Morris stated, "Instead of attempting to blend incompatible things, let us at once take friendly leave of each other."...on July 23 Pinckney "reminded the Convention that if the Constitution should fail to insert some security to the Southern States against an emancipation of slaves and taxes on exports, he should be bound by duty to his State to vote against their report," Both Morris and Pinckney were correct in their opinion that the two alien cultures should never have been rammed together under a centralized, all-powerful government.Likewise, today two alien cultures do not co-exist in peace, and do not share common cultural or philosophical principles on the mission of the national government.We argue that the differences are irreconcilable, and cannot be remedied by amendments or modifications to Madison's document.We agree with Delegate Morris that the time has come for the conservative states to take friendly leave of the Democrat Marxist states.We argue that there is only one pathway back to freedom, and taking that path means starting over, with a new constitution, at the point in history when Mason and Jefferson wrote their respective documents, in 1776.

The research examined the state of social entrepreneurship curricula, that is, programs that combine education for sustainable development (ESD) and traditional business entrepreneurialism instruction, at leading business school MBA programs in the United States. The research seeks to contribute to understandings of how sustainable development and entrepreneurial curriculum can be best integrated to enhance the training of social, or sustainable development, entrepreneurs. The goal of the research is to provide insight on how to combine insights from pedagogy relating to ESD, social enterprise, and entrepreneurship in order to create a new model curriculum for promoting social entrepreneurship at leading MBA programs.

Research indicates that men are twiceas likeyl tobecome entrepreneurs as women (McManus, 2017). Some scholars have theorized that self-efficacy, an attribute that can varyby gender, may be a factor that influences the decision to pursue entrepreneurial activities, but scholars have not yet verified a direct connection between self-efficacy and entrepreneurship (Haines, Deaux, & Lofaro, 2016). In seminal work on the topic, Bandura (1977) noted that self­ efficacy is a combination of two traits: (a) an individual's motivation tocomplete agiven task and(b) an individual's ability toaccomplish the task. When applying self-efficacy to entrepreneurship, the term entrepreneurial self-efficacy (ESE) refers to an individua'slability tosucceed as a business owner (Kautonen, van Gelderen, & Fink,2015.)

The purpose of this study was to explore the experience of group coaching as a setting for entrepreneurial learning (EL) and change. Although research on EL has expanded over the past decade, little is known about the social processes involved in EL and the different types of social contexts in which EL occurs (Wang & Chugh, 2014). Group coaching, meanwhile, has received scarce attention from researchers despite a surge in the commercial popularity of group-based coaching formats. The present study advances these literatures through a narrative exploration of eight entrepreneurs' experiences participating in group coaching.

Entre-employees are those who work for an organization while running their own company, with no interest in the transition to full-time entrepreneurship. This book explores the history, challenges, and leadership development of women entre-employees. The author examines the impact of COVID as well as race and sexism in the workplace on women entre-employees. She also discusses how women are more likely to embrace community-driven businesses, which often face slow growth. Given these challenges, the author proposes ways that employers can support women entre-employees, who have been proven to be valuable workers. Using the life stories of women entre-employees, this useful addition to the entrepreneurship field will appeal to entrepreneurship scholars as well as those interested in topics related to leadership and gender at work.

Due to political and economic instability in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) countries, an increasing number of inhabitants continue to migrate to other countries. From here, they either join employment or become refugee or immigrant entrepreneurs. Such developments carry risks such as integration problems, but there are also significant opportunities. This book takes a deep dive into those challenges and potential prospects, and places special emphasis on Türkiye, a region that is significantly impacted by migration from Syria, Afghanistan, Pakistan and other African countries.Chapters explore the various issues around refugee and immigrant entrepreneurs within their host countries.

The textbook contains a comprehensive presentation of tools that can be used to systematically generate innovative ideas for new business growth ("opportunities"). In practice, it can be observed that companies make considerable efforts to identify ideas for innovations that can decisively shape their industry. The reason for this is not least the knowledge that a missed wave of innovation can lead to major problems for the entire company. A central finding of business management research is that ideas for generating future growth opportunities are often not a product of chance, but the results of systematic analyses. The authors provide a structured and comprehensive overview of the most important tools for identifying new growth opportunities. They distinguish between company-related, market-related and environment-related approaches, incorporate numerous practical examples and provide application-oriented assistance with these tools. The second edition of the book incorporates the latest research findings, some examples have been updated and supplemented, and the book has been expanded to include practical application tasks for teaching and practical workshops.

This book provides a theoretical framework for design researchers interested in developing their research work about and with prototypes. It describes prototypes' multiple definitions and possible functions in the multifaceted landscape of today's design research. Indeed, while the manufacturing and digital evolutions enable and require new types of advanced prototypes, the design evolution as an academic discipline continuously widens its perspectives, fields, and research methods, among which are the prototypes' applications, features, and purposes. The framework originates from an interpretation of these interrelated phenomena and a collection of case studies. Additionally, it defines those criteria that characterize the relation between the research (context, discipline, and general scope) and the prototype (nature and specific aims) and, altogether, it presents an overview of prototypes' roles in design research.

Spätestens nachdem die Begriffe Digitalisierung / industrielle Revolution 4.0 zu geflügelten Wörtern in der Industrie geworden sind, entstehen neue Geschäftsmodelle im Zusammenhang mit der Erhebung und Verarbeitung von Daten und im Umgang mit Neuen Medien. Allerdings werden hierbei oftmals die damit einhergehenden Risiken unterschätzt oder sogar gänzlich übersehen. So ist beispielsweise bisher den wenigsten Verantwortlichen in Unternehmen bewusst, dass mit einer erhöhten Datenkenntnis auch eine erhöhte Produktverantwortlichkeit einhergeht. Schließlich ist es dem Hersteller nunmehr möglich, ständig zu wissen, in welchem (potentiell sicherheitskritischen) Zustand sich sein Produkt beim Verwender befindet. Dabei können Verstöße gegen die Produktbeobachtungspflicht zu empfindlichen Schadensersatzansprüchen und zwanglos auch zu kostenintensiven Rückrufen führen. Neben der erhöhten Datenkenntnis ergeben sich im Zusammenspiel zwischen Digitalisierung und der Produktbeobachtungspflicht weitereHerausforderungen für die Industrie: Beispielsweise die Haftung für fehlerhafte (Fremd-) Software durch IT-Security-Lücken, die sich erst während des Produktlebenszyklus¿ ergeben oder ersichtlich werden sowie der Umgang mit Informationen in Social Media oder die durch Influencer-Marketing generiert werden (bspw. wird eine gefährliche Anwendungsmethode des eigenen Produkts durch Foren-Verwender erklärt). ZG: Verantwortliche in produzierenden Unternehmen und Handelsunternehmen aus einer Vielzahl an Branchen, wie den Mitgliedern der Rechtsabteilung, des Ein- und Verkaufs und auch der Marketingabteilung. Ferner wird das Projekt auch für Rechtsanwälte mit Bezug zum Produktsicherheits- und Produkthaftungsrecht sowie für Ingenieure bzw. Produktentwickler und -verantwortliche spannend sein.

Wang offers an empirically based exploration into work-integration social enterprises as a means for delivering social services in China.Focusing on the political economy of social enterprise development in China, Wang examines the nature of the relationship between the state and social enterprises and the implications of such relationships for their institutional effectiveness. She adopts a bottom-up approach that investigates indigenous practices embedded within the local political context. Common ground has been established internationally that the social enterprise model provides new ways of social service delivery that could potentially change and restructure the social welfare economy. However, the development path differs across social contexts, especially in an authoritarian country like China. This study provides insights into China's efforts to develop its social welfare sector and reinvigorate customary ideas about how public services could be better offered given the country's political economy.This book will be of great interest to both scholars of China's political economy and those with an interest in the development of the social enterprise sector looking to see how this works in a Chinese context.
