It has been generally recognized the importance of Development of Entrepreneurship in economic development in developing countries. However, relatively to other economic issues in developing countries such as poverty, unemployment, trade, foreign debt, and economic growth, books on development of entrepreneurship in developing countries are limited. The main aim of this book is to fill this gap. It examines the relationship between the development of entrepreneurship, reflected by the growth of micro, small and medium enterprises, and economic growth and poverty. More specifically, this book attempts to answer the following question: how does the existence or growth of these enterprises relate to economic growth and poverty reduction in developing countries? The book is based on materials from various sources, including secondary data in Indonesia.
