Chapter 1 Entrepreneurship and Economic Growth: The Experience of Developed and Developing Countries

The Impact of COVID-19 on Entrepreneurship Globally

“…In the United States, two states declared the State of Emergency, and many other countries were implementing lockdowns. Further efforts were made to adopt social distancing, thus many countries, even with sound economies, compelled most of the businesses to shut down and restrict their interactions, leading to a significant downturn in economies, both at domestic and international levels (Sergi et al 2019). Partial or complete closure of borders also hindered the movement of goods causing a considerable interruption of goods circulation in the global supply chains.…”

Emprendimiento global: una visión en tiempos de Covid-19

“…En los Estados Unidos, dos estados declararon el estado de emergencia y muchos otros países estaban implementando bloqueos. Se hicieron más esfuerzos para adoptar el distanciamiento social, por lo que muchos países, incluso con economías sólidas, obligaron a la mayoría de empresas a cerrar y restringir sus interacciones, lo que provoco una recesión significativa en las economías, tanto a nivel nacional como internacional (Sergi et al, 2019). El cierre parcial o completo de las fronteras también obstaculizo el movimiento de mercancías provocando una interrupción considerable de la circulación de mercancías en las cadenas de suministro globales.…”

The Influence of Universal and Specific Risks on Quality Management During Implementation of Large-Scale Russian Investment Projects in the Conditions of Uncertainty

“…A considerable contribution to the development of the theory of risks was made by the famous economist or classics of the economic though: (Abdel-Basset et al, 2019;Das et al, 2019;Dirick et al, 2019;King et al, 2018;Novo-Corti et al, 2019;Santis, 2018;Souza et al, 2019). The problem of risks of the realization of large scale investment projects as a tool of the infrastructural development of territories (such as, for instance, La Manche tunnel, Øresund Bridge between Denmark and Sweden, Vasco da Gama bridge in Portugal and others) was thoroughly studied in the works of the scientists: (Achten et al, 2019;Bayrak, 2018;Bogoviz & Sergi, 2018;Brazill-Boast et al, 2018;Fragkos& Kouvaritakis, 2018;Genoud, 2018;Moreda, 2018;Morozova et al, 2018;Osabuohien et al, 2019;Popkova, 2019); Sergi et al, 2019;Zheng et al, 2019). The problems of risks identification, practical aspects of their realization in historic and current territorial megaprojects and methodological aspects of the assessment and leveling of the risks at different stages of the life cycle of a large scale investment project were studied in the works of the scientists: (Bi & Cai, 2019); Bo et al, 2019;Clark, 2019;Díaz et al, 2019;D'Orazio & Popoyan, 2019;Huang, 2019;Huber & Huber, 2019;Wan et al, 2019;Zhang & Chen, 2019).…”
