International Entrepreneurship

Starting, Developing, and Managing a Global Venture

Combining robust narrative with a wide variety of interesting cases, International Entrepreneurship: Starting, Developing, and Managing a Global Venture focuses on the need for every entrepreneur to at least consider entering the global market in today's hypercompetitive world. As an ever-growing number of countries become market oriented and developed, the distinction between foreign and domestic markets is becoming less pronounced, and entrepreneurs increasingly need to develop skills to identify opportunities and then manage these opportunities on a global basis. International Entrepreneurship is an ideal resource for students, professors, government officials, and practitioners throughout the world who are interested in this vital, growing area. Key Features Includes chapter-opening international scenarios that feature a global entrepreneur or a global entrepreneurial venture to set the scene for the issues that follow Demonstrates global entrepreneurial issues through real-life cases from countries throughout the world Draws content from a wide variety of disciplines, including anthropology, economics, geography, history, jurisprudence, and language Includes chapter-ending class exercises, discussion questions, and suggestions for additional reading to provide readers with hands-on learning opportunities and avenues for future research Helpful Teaching Ancillaries Instructor Resources are available on a password-protected website at http://www.sagepub.com/hisrichinstr. These resources include chapter outlines, end of chapter discussions, chapter exercises, and teaching notes. International Entrepreneurship is appropriate as a core text for courses such as Global Entrepreneurship or International Entrepreneurship or as a supplement in upper-level undergraduate and MBA courses in Entrepreneurship, New Venture Management, and Entrepreneurship Strategy. In addition, it can be used as an ancillary text in International Business and International Management courses.

Professor Hisrich serves on the editorial boards of several prominent journals in
entrepreneurial scholarship, is on several boards of directors, and is author or
coauthor of over 300 research articles appearing in such journals as Journal of
Marketing, Journal of Marketing Research, Journal of Business Venturing,
Journal of Small Business Finance, Small Business Economics, Journal of
Developmental Entrepreneurship, and Entrepreneurship Theory and Practice.

Model Jury Instructions for Surety Cases

Because the surety's claims against the various subrogation defendants may
actually be substantive claims for breach of contract or negligence, discovery by
the surety may also be more substantive in nature, and directed to the particular
allegations at issue. For example, if the surety's contract claim against the obligee
involves changes, extra work, or delay, then the surety's discovery will focus on
those allegations and the substantive facts, documents, and theories supporting
them.

An Introduction to Particle Physics and the Standard Model

An Introduction to the Standard Model of Particle Physics familiarizes readers with what is considered tested and accepted and in so doing, gives them a grounding in particle physics in general. Whenever possible, Dr. Mann takes an historical approach showing how the model is linked to the physics that most of us have learned in less challenging areas. Dr. Mann reviews special relativity and classical mechanics, symmetries, conservation laws, and particle classification; then working from the tested paradigm of the model itself, he: Describes the Standard Model in terms of its electromagnetic, strong, and weak components Explores the experimental tools and methods of particle physics Introduces Feynman diagrams, wave equations, and gauge invariance, building up to the theory of Quantum Electrodynamics Describes the theories of the Strong and Electroweak interactions Uncovers frontier areas and explores what might lie beyond our current concepts of the subatomic world Those who work through the material will develop a solid command of the basics of particle physics. The book does require a knowledge of special relativity, quantum mechanics, and electromagnetism, but most importantly it requires a hunger to understand at the most fundamental level: why things exist and how it is that anything happens. This book will prepare students and others for further study, but most importantly it will prepare them to open their minds to the mysteries that lie ahead. Ultimately, the Large Hadron Collider may prove the model correct, helping so many realize their greatest dreams ... or it might poke holes in the model, leaving us to wonder an even more exciting possibility: that the answers lie in possibilities so unique that we have not even dreamt of them.

How to Use Problem-based Learning in the Classroom

Engaging and motivating students--especially the least motivated learners--is a daily challenge. But with the process of problem-based learning (PBL), any teacher can create an exciting, active classroom where students themselves eagerly build problem-solving skills while learning the content necessary to apply them. With problem-based learning, students' work begins with an ill-defined problem. Key to this problem is how it explicitly links something important in students daily lives to the classroom. This motivational feature is vital as students define the what, where, and how of resolving the problem situation. Problem-based learning may sound potentially chaotic and haphazard, but it rests on the firm foundation of a teacher's work behind the scenes. The teacher develops a problem long before students see it, specifically choosing the skills and content the problem will emphasize and matching those to curriculum and standards. Though a PBL problem will have no "right" answer, the teacher structures the experience so that specific learning takes place as students generate the problem-solving steps, research issues, and produce a final product. The teacher guides without leading, assists without directing.

Distributions of Correlation Coefficients

An important problem in personnel psychology, namely, the psychometric problem known as "validity generalization" is addressed in this volume. From a statistical point of view, the problem is how to make statements about a population correlation coefficient based on inferences from a collection of sample correlation coefficients. The first part of the book examines the largely ad hoc procedures which have been used to determine validity generalization. The second part develops a new model formulated from the perspective of finite mixture theory and, in addition, illustrates its use in several applications.

Motivation. and. Background. The goal of this book is to understand histograms,
such as Figure 1.1. The figure is taken from Ghiselli's classic 1966 book The
Validity of Occupational Aptitude Tests and is his Figure 2-4. It shows histograms
of observed correlation coefficients called validity coefficients. The problem is to
model such histograms. Specifically, what might be a parent distribution for such
histograms? How many different population correlation coefficients, if more than
one, ...

Seeing Islam as Others Saw It: A Survey and Evaluation of Christian, Jewish and Zoroastrian Writings on Early Islam

This book offers a new approach to the vexing question of how to write the early history of Islam. The first part discusses the nature of the Muslim and non-Muslim source material for the seventh- and eighth-century Middle East and argues that by lessening the divide between these two traditions, which has largely been erected by modern scholarship, we can come to a better appreciation of this crucial period. The second part gives a detailed survey of sources and an analysis of some 120 non-Muslim texts, all of which provide information about the first century and a half of Islam (roughly A.D. 620-780). The third part furnishes examples, according to the approach suggested in the first part and with the material presented in the second part, how one might write the history of this time. The fourth part takes the form of excurses on various topics, such as the process of Islamization, the phenomenon of conversion to Islam, the development of techniques for determining the direction of prayer, and the conquest of Egypt. Because this work views Islamic history with the aid of non-Muslim texts and assesses the latter in the light of Muslim writings, it will be essential reading for historians of Islam, Christianity, Judaism, or Zoroastrianism--indeed, for all those with an interest in cultures of the eastern Mediterranean in its traditional phase from Late Antiquity to medieval times.
