Entrepreneurship and Innovation in BRICS Economies

Innovation and entrepreneurship are often discussed together, with many resources in the literature about the intertwining of these two subject areas. What is lacking in the current research landscape is how innovation and entrepreneurship is undertaken in the emerging economies that form the BRICS alliance. This comprehensive book offers a multifaceted exploration of entrepreneurship and innovation across BRICS nations, comprising various themes. It provides an overview of the challenges faced by SMEs, the dynamics of risk management, technology transfer, and global value chains, particularly in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic. Emphasising the importance of knowledge sharing and creative leadership, it addresses sustainable development strategies and the role of digitalisation technologies in fostering economic growth. With a blend of quantitative and qualitative insights, the contributors provide a deep understanding of the intricate interplay between entrepreneurship, innovation, and economic development within the BRICS framework. Academics will benefit from the scholarly analysis and theoretical frameworks presented, while students will find the content valuable for understanding contemporary issues in entrepreneurship, innovation, and international relations within the BRICS economies. Practitioners, particularly those involved in policy-making, business strategy, and international trade, will also find the insights offered by this book to be of significant relevance.
