What do Entrepreneurs with Disability Want? Understanding their Needs for Training Programmes Sodhi, Simran; Dwivedi, Amit Kumar In the last few decades, people with disabilities have shown keen interest in being an entrepreneur. Their journey from being socially to economically inclusive has been challenging. A new set of challenges follows them as they direct their path towards entrepreneurship. Whether creating a new enterprise or sustaining the existing one, entrepreneurship training has helped and supported entrepreneurs in their journey. Observing the trend of entrepreneurship among people with disabilities, many training programmes are being organised. The problem lies with the fact that we have not tried to understand their needs as an entrepreneur. People with disabilities have their own bunch of problems, and without understanding their side of the issues, we can never provide them want they want. This research tries to understand what problems people with disabilities face in the process of enterprise creation or in sustaining their enterprise and parallelly analyse whether the existing training programmes for entrepreneurs with disability are able to provide the required training to them.

The Role of Cluster Entrepreneurship in the Development of Competitiveness of the Economy Azimov, Vakil In the context of globalization, regions and local economies have come to be viewed against the backdrop of qualitative elements such as increasing productivity, achieving greater economic dynamism and generating employment. In the new situation, the motivation to develop and implement a regional industrial policy with a suitable market mechanism also came to the fore. This was due to the fact that traditional regional industrial policies often led to artificial economic growth and could not be sustainable in the long run with massive subsidies. Analyzes carried out in the context of the industrial policy of developed countries show that balancing interregional internal inequality with budget transfers in many cases does not coincide with the general goals of economic development and gives rise to various contradictions. The concept of a new regional industrial policy, in contrast to the budgetary model of regional regulation, is aimed at maximizing the domestic economic development potential of the territory through the formation of a system of effective market institutions that mobilize competitive advantages, improve the business environment and professional training, and create new technology incubators. This industrial policy with a more strategic goal requires the use of such methods and tools as networking, partnership, competitiveness, flexible innovation systems, and ensuring the consensus of the state and business. Formation of competitive advantages of the Azerbaijan economy at the present stage of development of paramount importance. As the world theory and practice in the first place, this can be done by implementing a cluster strategy. That is the strategy of development of enterprise clusters are able to provide Azerbaijan’s strategic potential growth, and further to make the transition from quantity to quality, greatly enhance the competitiveness of the national economy.

The Network Paradox in Entrepreneurship: Towards an Integration Jaiswal, Sumit Kumar; Chakrabarty, Sumit The literature on entrepreneurial networks is divided on whether a homogenous or a heterogeneous network is more beneficial for an entrepreneur. Adding to this confusion is the paradox of whether an entrepreneur's network is the result of their rational choices or social embeddedness resulting from the past. We propose that the network type (homogenous or heterogeneous) and the extent of agency (rationality or embeddedness) are context-dependent. The life stage of a venture, the entrepreneur's agency, and past social activities would decide what network the entrepreneur possesses. We emphasize the situation dependence nature of the entrepreneurial network by proposing a framework (2 X 2 matrix) that incorporates both perspectives. Such conceptualization enables us to understand an entrepreneur's network in a much finer way at any given moment. It also provides opportunities for analyzing the current state of the network and making necessary adjustments, albeit with some constraints, to have a network structure that is more likely to fetch necessary resources as per the changing need of the venture in the entrepreneurial process.

The Entrepreneurial Team: A Metanalytic Review, Framework, Problematization and Future Research Agenda Das, Satyasiba The entrepreneurial team has become an integral topic of entrepreneurship research. Despite the fact that this theme has been broadly and seriously contemplated by researchers from different territories, for example, strategic management, organization behavior, psychology, economics, finance, sociology etc., a synthesis of this diverse stream of research is lacking. This paper endeavors such a synthesis here by taking a multi-disciplinary viewpoint on entrepreneurial teams with the end goal of cultivating further entrepreneurship research in this area. A wide ranging literature search led to the development of an overarching research system enabling the classification of a vast array of literature. From this framework a literature criticism is carried out with particular emphasis on entrepreneurship and strategic management studies. Key conceptual and methodological issues are acknowledged and discussed. Suggestions for future research on entrepreneurial teams are offered.
