The Process of Decision-Making of Foreign Direct Investment in Special Economic Areas Vargas-Hernández, José G.; López-Mayorga, Vania Y. The objective of this paper is to analyze the decision-making process on foreign direct investment (FDI) as well as the location strategies used as the main objective which is the achievement of greater profits via cost reduction. Part of the assumption that the Special Economic Zones (ZEE) recently decreed (2016) offer tax incentives that allow them to reduce costs to foreign companies, encouraging them to establish them in these areas. A comparative analysis of the EEZs with the state of Jalisco as a reference, since this is characterized as an industrialized and attractive state for the arrival of FDI. The method used was a comparative analysis of the descriptive scope of variables such as population by age group, level of education and the Global Indicator of Economic Activity (IGAE), as well as the IED. Finally, the main conclusion is that the strength of these states under the EEZ regime is the Economically Active Population (EAP). However, the decree that establishes these special zones in Mexico must be accompanied by policies that strengthen the educational and social and security conditions in these States.

Strengthening of Agricultural Extension and Rural Development through Sustainable Entrepreneurship Iyer, Vijayan Gurumurthy Sustainable entrepreneurship is a kind of entrepreneurship that meets the needs of present without compromising the ability, efficiency and values of future generations to meet their own needs. Sustainable entrepreneurship is an important area in the literature for sustainable development. It involves all the functions, activities, and sustainable actions associated with the perceiving of sustainable opportunities and the creation of sustainable enterprises to pursue them. Green designs find that products and services are environmental advantage with good performance and prices while achieving resource conservation and recovery (RCR) and subsequent reduction of greenhouse gas emission in to the environment. Eco friendly rubberized cotton fabric roller for roller gins has been designed and developed to control unsafe environmental chromium pollution and contamination using chrome composite leather clad rollers in cotton roller ginning process (Vijayan Gurumurthy Iyer, 2007). One of the benefits of creation of sustainable enterprise is an achievement of waste minimization (WM). A case study in case of airport municipal solid waste management (MSW) is discussed. Upon waste characterization and assessment study undertaken for airport industries, it has been verified and validated that only about 20 percent of Addis Ababa International Airport (AAX) generated waste recycled and composted every year. By conducting intensive environmental impact assessment and WA recycling cum composting programs, about 65 percent of the airport MSW shall be recycled and composted. So, the savings is a sum of landfill fees (tipping fees) and carbon tax if applicable per year which could potentially save threefold with WA recycling cum composting programs. It is concluded that the green product design and services reduce the environmental impacts associated with the manufacture, use and disposal of products.

Socio-economic Status of Informal Sector Business Entrepreneurs in Bangladesh Islam, Nazrul; Mahjabin, Cynthia; Nahian, Abdullah Hill; Shahriar, Abir; Arman, Adib; Sadia, Asma Informal sector business is a highly growing sector of Bangladesh which is defined as the businesses that are neither taxed nor monitored by any form of government or authority. A large number of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) fall into this category of the informal sector of businesses. The major driving forces behind the growth of informal sector businesses in Bangladesh are the rise in household demands for goods and services manufactured and supplied by them as well as the rise in demand for intermediate inputs. Unlike the formal economy, activities of the informal economy are not included in the country's Gross National Product (GNP) or Gross Domestic Product (GDP). The largest numbers of employments of Bangladesh are also created by this sector. At present, more than eighty percent employments of the country are in informal sector. As the businesses of this sector are highly fragile, the employments in this sector are also vulnerable in nature. These informal businesses are highly unregulated and unrecognized in the country. People who are engaged in this sector include wage laborers, self-employed persons, unpaid family labor, piece-rate workers, and other hired labors. The informal sector businesses are mainly engaged in toiletries, electronics, clothing, household accessories, stationery, fruits, vegetables, foods, etc. Although, informal sector businesses have a significant contribution to the economy of Bangladesh, the entrepreneurs of this sector are neglected by the government and other supporting organizations. Hence, this study aims at identifying the socioeconomic status of informal sector business entrepreneurs so that they can properly be addressed by the appropriate authorities and the policymakers of the country. For conducting the study, 212 informal sector business entrepreneurs located in Dhaka city were interviewed with a structured questionnaire. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze the data. Results show that the informal sector entrepreneurs of Bangladesh face an unfavorable business environment that is mainly characterized by a number of challenges such as, no stable place for business, low technical, administrative and government support, no marketing knowledge, lack of scope for professional development, etc. Study also found that the socioeconomic status of the entrepreneurs has been improved by their attachment with these businesses. It improved standard of living of the entrepreneurs, use of gas in cooking, increase safety in working lives, improved housing and medical facilities, increased savings and deposits in banks, increased awareness about the people and the society. This study suggests that the policymakers of Bangladesh should extent supports to the informal sector entrepreneurs in or to increase their contributions to economy of the country.
