There is little doubt that in recent years, enterprise has been considered an essential approach in the alleviation of deprivation existing in the developed world. The assumption is that area-based initiatives provide a means by which enterprise can include all members of society in mainstream social and economic activities. The rationale behind Enterprise, Deprivation and Social Exclusion is to critically challenge the notion that enterprise can address the complexity behind deprivation and social exclusion by demonstrating UK and North American examples. We see how enterprise has come to be regarded as a means by which poverty can be reduced and new opportunities can be opened up to support individuals. However, the authors here seek to give a greater appreciation to the structural roots of deprivation and pose questions about whether or not enterprise might actually exacerbate structures of social and economic exclusion. What if enterprise actually maintains differences between types of community and keeps individuals entrenched in certain ways of thinking? The contributions in this edited collection will offer a distinct opportunity in respect of both theoretical and empirical advancement. The authors hale from both sides of the Atlantic and form an inter-disciplinary group to provide complementary perspectives in this field.

This book provides insight for researchers and decision-makers on the application of data in the entrepreneurship and sustainable development sector. This book covers how Big Data for Industry 4.0 and Entrepreneurship are effective in resolving business, social, and economic problems.

This book is designed to supercharge your leadership skills by triangulating winning leadership strategies from the U.S. Navy SEALs, professional sports, and executive business.There is an undeniable demand for great leaders today. Individuals who excel as leaders are able to attract exceptional people to an organization and then foster a sense of connectedness within the team and to the company. The result is a more resilient organization in a fast-evolving world, a team that continuously strives for improvement, experiences lower turnover of valued personnel, and outperforms its competition.Yet cultivating the next generation of exceptional leaders is an unmet challenge for most organizations. While they may recognize the need for developing the next leaders of their organizations, the training provided to those driven individuals is largely ineffective--or lacking altogether.In Bullets, Basketballs & Boardrooms: Triangulating the Best Leadership Practices from Three Elite Disciplines, authors Dave Hubinger, Andrew Pence, and Jim Brogan share practical insights developed throughout their collective ninety years of experience in their individual professions--military special operations, professional sports, and executive business. These insights facilitate a leader's better understanding of themselves and their ability to navigate the complex landscape of their role. That begins by having an intimate understanding of the values that drive an individual to excellence. With that deep knowledge of oneself, combined with an unconventional array of tools to effectively connect with their teams, leaders can create an organization that excels now and into the future.Each chapter begins with three distinct "leadership truths" that the authors have found to be universally applicable to leaders and teams in each of their disciplines. The chapters then contain subsections of insights and tips from each author individually. Finally, chapters conclude with action items that challenge the reader to begin transformative measures to elevate and hone their leadership habits and abilities, personally and professionally. Chapter content also addresses insights for the reader to elevate the efficacy and performance of their teams and, ultimately, their organizations. The book concludes with the authors' daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly "make it real" actions to execute for personal growth, greater leadership effectiveness, more connected relationships, and sustainable change.
