Jowah","doi":"10.22622/jaes.2019.15-1.02","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.22622/jaes.2019.15-1.02","url":null,"abstract":"Africa as a continent occupies one fifth of the earth’s land surface but possesses the\u0000largest natural resources on the earth’s surface. The continent is endowed with\u0000large deposits of coal, iron ore, asbestos, copper, gold, diamonds, uranium,\u0000emeralds, silver, chromium, cobalt, crude oil, quartz, aluminum, zinc, nickel, and\u0000platinum, to say the least. Together with this are large fresh water resources that\u0000labyrinth the continent pouring their contents into the inland lakes and oceans that\u0000surround the continent. The arable land is full of flora and fauna that attracts\u0000millions of tourists from around the world who pay large sums to see what the African takes for granted. Yet, the continent is home to millions reeling under\u0000chronic poverty, under nourished and under fed with unprecedented high levels of\u0000illiterate, unskilled, economically underdeveloped and unbankable populace. The\u0000Asian Tigers, China, India and Latin America have emerged as shining stars on the\u0000path to sustainable development, but Africa, the storehouse of natural wealth,\u0000lingers behind. This paper argues that the failure of Africa is a result of the failure\u0000of African leadership to come up with policies and programs specific to the context\u0000of the continent. Africa needs sustainable empowerment of the disadvantaged\u0000chronically poor millions that languish in poverty on the continent. The model\u0000suggests a developmental policy that uses “deliberate structures” to “deliberately\u0000empower” the indigenous African as fundamental to the economic development of\u0000the continent. Entrepreneurship as a developmental vehicle is modeled to provide\u0000in-built-solutions to the 21 causes of the failure of businesses. A model of\u0000projectised entrepreneurship using Africanized colonial resources is constructed\u0000with special emphasis on South Africa and its unique past. This will be supported\u0000deliberately by increasing start-ups at a reduced failure rate in place of perpetual\u0000handouts.","PeriodicalId":182968,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Asia Entrepreneurship and Sustainability","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130624402","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Positive and vibrant\u0000entrepreneurial climate within the organization is one of the building blocks of\u0000corporate entrepreneurship. . This study tries to assess the perception of\u0000entrepreneurial climate amongst the employees of Indian organizations. It covers\u0000perception of the employees on 13 different parameters of entrepreneurial climate and attempts to find out the employees’ related factors and organization related\u0000factors affecting entrepreneurial climate. The paper also tries to assess the impact\u0000of perception of entrepreneurial climate of employees on their perception related to\u0000potential success of their organization.\u0000The study uses primary data collection from 633 employees from the corporate\u0000sector. It uses descriptive and inferential analysis such as One Sample T-test,\u0000ANOVA and Regression analysis to arrive at the conclusions. The study concludes\u0000that employees’ perception related to entrepreneurial climate in their organizations\u0000is affected by their age-group and their seniority in the management cadre.\u0000Employees belonging to manufacturing and engineering sectors have more positive\u0000outlook towards entrepreneurial climate than other sectors.
