The importance of managing entrepreneurial assets is discussed, followed by a thorough articulation of the author's tool for accomplishing this in a holistic and strategic manner. Examples drawn from the authors' fieldwork illustrate the many ways in which the tool can be utilized to guide economic development efforts. A final chapter discusses possible resistance to this innovation and how that resistance can be successfully addressed.","brand":"Praeger Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45084530835607,"sku":"9780313382925","price":4495.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780313382925.webp?v=1767264578","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/investing-in-entrepreneurs-a-strategic-approach-for-strengthening-your-regional-and-community-economy-9780313382925","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
