The Second International Conference on Entrepreneurship and Small Business was held hybrid in close collaboration with the Innovation and Entrepreneurship Research Lab (GECC) in London (UK). Several distinguished guest speakers and well-known scholars contributed to this event. Following a two-day programme, the conference included a one-day face-to-face event for students and another day dedicated to an online event with three thought-provoking sessions facilitated by Professor Rami Al-Hadeethi, Professor Kursat Demiryurek and Professor Aidin Salamzadeh. Professor Rami Al-Hadeethi and Professor Yashar Salamzadeh also held two plenary sessions. Over 150 individuals from various countries, including the UK, Iran, Japan, Kuwait, Russia, Serbia, and Turkey, contributed to this event. Interestingly, presentations were related to entrepreneurship and business in various business contexts, and many followed interdisciplinary approaches. As the event’s organizers, we would like to thank all those who contributed to the quality of this international conference, including participants, conference chairs, scientific committees, reviewers, technical team members and our partners from the University of Tehran (Iran), Ondokuz Mayis University (Turkey), GECC (UK), European Union Project Hub (Japan), and Eastern Black Sea Project Regional Development Administration (Turkey). Notably, this book is divided into two major parts: (i) abstracts and (ii) selected papers. The scientific committee of the conference nominated the selected papers. We hope to meet you at the next events.Enterprise, Entrepreneurship and Small Business

`A thoughtful and reflective account of "enterprise", offering meaningful and contextualized knowledge to students at all levels, written in a style that is as engaging as it is informative – and peppered with unobtrusive dry wit' - Professor Sara Carter, OBE, Hunter Centre for Entrepreneurship, University of Strathclyde Enterprise, Entrepreneurship and Small Business is an exciting new text for all students of business. Broad and inquisitive in its intellectual outlook, this provocative but accessible textbook covers core themes and topics in the study of enterprise, as well as looking at subjects that are often ignored, from criminal entrepreneurs and the demise of Enron, to 'entre-tainment' and ethnic and indigenous entrepreneurship. Along the way, the reader will find an interactive exploration not only of the processes of entrepreneuring, of managing small enterprises, or of the implications of working in an entrepreneurial corporation - he or she will also be challenged to consider enterprise in its social, economic, political and moral contexts. This textbook moves beyond the narrow, prescriptive focus on the 'how' employed by other textbooks, and places equal emphasis on the 'why' - all the time considering the role of enterprise, entrepreneurship and small business in the world we live in. Supported by lively case studies, real-life examples and a concept guide of key terms, this text is ideal for undergraduate and postgraduate students on any course with an emphasis on enterprise and entrepreneurship.Pioneers in Entrepreneurship and Small Business Research

This book examines entrepreneurship and small business in Russia and key countries of Eastern Europe, showing how far small businesses have developed, and discusses how far 'market reforms' and a market mentality have been taken up by ordinary people in the real everyday economy. For each of the countries examined - Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Poland and Estonia - the book reviews the progress of market reforms within the wider context of social and economic transformation, surveys the development of entrepreneurship and small firms so far, and assesses the role of government in the process, and the strengths and weaknesses of the small business sector.Veterans Entrepreneurship and Small Business Development Act of 1999
