The paper is intended to bring out the results of a bibliometric study carried on all the issues of the JoE till Volume 25. The author examines the JoE year-wise, authorship pattern, country-wise distribution of papers, range of references cited, extent of acknowledgement, and number of appendices detailing supplement information included in the research articles of the JoE. 2017-02-22T00:00:00Z http://dspace.ediindia.ac.in:8181/xmlui//handle/123456789/5896 Self Management: Individual and Organizational Levels Karczewski, Leszek The purpose of the article is to present some Western and Eastern philosophical concepts and their references to self management by an individual in the context of the concepts of many homines: homo energeticus, homo sociologicus (sociology), homo teleologicus (praxiology) and the concept of psychological costs incurred by the organization. In particular, the author intends to answer the questions: 1) How important is the internal energy of an individual in management of their own potential? 2) How does an individual dissipate and accumulate energy? 3) What kind of tools both Eastern and Western cultures have developed for an individual to personal development? 4) Does organizational culture impact the mental costs incurred by employees? The main hypothesis of the article can be expressed as follows: the cultures of both the West and the East have developed a range of tools and methods for serving good psychophysical condition of individuals and thus to build the organizational culture of innovation, responsibility and trust. These tools and methods are now, in the era of the Internet and diffusion of cultures, the heritage of all mankind. Entrepreneurship is considered widely as a lonely journey. Entrepreneurs often lament the need for greater peer support. Heightened selfmanagement especially using the tools identified could reduce the need of the entrepreneur for external support mechanisms. 2017-02-22T00:00:00Z http://dspace.ediindia.ac.in:8181/xmlui//handle/123456789/5895 Religious Entrepreneurship: The Profitability of the Product Called “God” Dsouza, Jean; Jani, Rajvi The spate of proliferating god-men/god-women in India, the emerging diverse sects, sub-sects of religions, and the novel means used to propagate religious practice, all draw one to the hypothesis that the Religious Entrepreneurship will soon, if it has not done so already, emerge into prominence. This paper observes the intersection of entrepreneurship and religion in contemporary times. It takes a perspective of how religion is used as a commodity, and how religious entrepreneurship may thus emerge as a viable commercial option for a distinct type of entrepreneurs. It posits questions such as: In this nexus between “Faith” based concepts and those based on (worldly) materialism, where does individual integrity stand? In the commitment of individuals towards the “God” of their beliefs, where does responsibility towards the Self and the Other stand? And it attempts to arrive at new possibilities that arise in the intermingling of Religion and Entrepreneurship. 2017-02-22T00:00:00Z http://dspace.ediindia.ac.in:8181/xmlui//handle/123456789/5894 Hephapreneurship for Social Change and Transformation in South Africa Sefotho, Maximus Monaheng Disability is equated to no education, employment and training in many developing countries around the world. Within the field of entrepreneurship education, there is a dearth of models specifically designed to address education, employment and training of people with disabilities. Hephapreneurship is a neology and an alternative model aimed at filling this sustainable development gap. Crafted within the field of career psychology, hephapreneurship finds expression in the Fofa (fly) project of the University of Pretoria in South Africa. The project aims to assist youth with little or no functional speech. Participants have different types of disabilities but they express a desire for work and making meaning of their lives. This alternative model is suggested within the multi-sectorial context of career guidance and disability in order to address the disability employment problems experienced by many disabled people. The model follows the philosophy of existentialism with a social constructivist and transformative paradigm in helping youth with little or no functional speech to make meaningful contributions to their lives and those of others.Hephapreneurship is perceived to bring hope to the hopeless. 2017-02-22T00:00:00Z
