Description:

Human capital plays a pivotal role in shaping the success of entrepreneurial ventures. The dynamic interplay between an enterprise’s human resources and its strategic initiatives may cultivate skills, knowledge, and creativity within teams. These assets can then be mobilized to foster innovation, competitive advantage, and growth in the entrepreneurial landscape. The influence of human capital can be integrated with other aspects of entrepreneurial strategy, such as innovation, market expansion, and adaptability. Further exploration of this integration may ensure successful entrepreneurial strategies for business sectors.

Leveraging Human Capital in Entrepreneurial Strategies explores the multifaceted contributions of human capital to entrepreneurial effectiveness and efficiency, providing a nuanced understanding of how entrepreneurs can harness the potential of their teams to drive business objectives. It examines the way entrepreneurs and managers think about their workforce, shifting the perspectives of employees as costly to key strategic assets. Covering topics such as performance management, talent retention, and social capital, this book is an excellent resource for entrepreneurs, human resource managers, business leaders, policymakers, investors, venture capitalists, researchers, academicians, and more.
