The capacity and willingness to develop, organize and manage a business venture along with any of its risks in order to make a profit. The most obvious example of entrepreneurship is the starting of new businesses. In economics, entrepreneurship combined with land, labor, natural resources and capital can produce profit. Entrepreneurial spirit is characterized by innovation and risk-taking, and is an essential part of a nation's ability to succeed in an ever changing and increasingly competitive global marketplace. Not sure whether you are cut out for starting your own business? Don't worry, you have company. Most people have dreamed about launching their own venture at some stage of their lives but the majority do not even take the first step. They are held back by a number of reasons. Some fear that if their business does not succeed, they could lose the investment they make. In many cases, that's their entire life's savings. Others think they are too old. In fact, even if they overcome one argument that is keeping them back, they think of another one to stop themselves from taking the plunge. Age is definitely not a factor to consider before getting into business for yourself. An article titled, "Entrepreneurs Get Better with Age" in Harvard Business Review says, "The average age of a successful entrepreneur in high-growth industries such as computers, health care, and aerospace is 40" and "Twice as many successful entrepreneurs are over 50 as under 25." Colonel Sanders started the Kentucky Fried Chicken chain of restaurants when he was 65 and Takichiro Mori, who built a real estate empire worth $13 billion, made his first investment in property at the age of 55. Many of those who throw up their jobs and make it on their own, certainly do have some combination of these abilities. But everyone who has these attributes does not become an entrepreneur. Seth Godin, the author and entrepreneur, says, "Studying entrepreneurship without doing it ...is like studying the appreciation of music without listening to it." The only way to really find out whether you have what it takes is to start your own business and get a first-hand feel of entrepreneurship. Of course, this is not to suggest that you launch on a big scale right away. Devote a little time each day, make some small investments in the field of your choice and see if you like the experience. If you have an eye for color and furnishings and are contemplating a venture in interior decoration, start by meeting someone who is in the same profession. While you may have the ability to furnish a room beautifully, do you know how to attract customers? Where will you source accessories from? Can you make an estimate for doing a job? Do you have a list of sub-contractors whom you can engage? The process of finding answers to all these questions will give you an idea about your capabilities. You will realize that becoming an interior decorator requires you to have many skills in addition to the ability to make a room look pleasing to the eye. If you are able to actually take up an interior decoration project for a customer, it will give you a genuine basis on which you can decide whether you are cut out for entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurs also need to dedicate long hours to mundane tasks like accounting, filing tax returns, complying with local, state and federal laws and doing different types of administrative work. Keep in mind that none of these tasks are related to your core business and they don't get you any new customers. But you have to make the effort to complete them anyway. Still not sure whether to make a start? Maybe this piece of advice from articles of other authors in this book will help.

This dissertation aimed at identifying and explaining why trade unions in Mauritius have lost their influence in the contemporary workplace context. After being vibrant during the buoyant period of the 1970s, trade unions now face challenges that they must justly consider to enable them develop in today’s society. This phenomenon is global and affects both advanced and developing economies from a workplace perspective. The study examined why trade unions lost their influence over employees, members and society. It identified that trade union influence was on the decline and, if unions maintained the same structure and objectives that focused mainly on member recruitment and disputes over pay, they would not survive in the current and forthcoming conditions since there is better employee education, legal framework supporting employees and wider use of technology. The Employee Relations Act 2008 served as a background with new developments in favour of the employee but unions contested key provisions it made. The research conducted with a systematically organised sample of some 100 respondents, confirmed that unions, both public and private, had to focus on strategic factors and that these would determine their success. The findings showed that if unions followed key strategies for their survival, namely innovation in communication, leadership, female empowerment, social partnership, union rationalisation and focus on globalisation, they would secure better chances to remain relevant and maintain their credibility among the stakeholders of employee relations, in particular, employees, employers and government. A model and recommendations were developed that could lead to ensuring the success and survival of trade unions in Mauritius in the years to come.

The study examined the effects of climate change on rural female farmers in Wurompo. A farming community, in the Wenchi Municipality of Brong Ahafo region of Ghana. This farming community depends on rain fed agriculture activities for livelihood. In recent years, droughts, unpredictable rainfall pattern and crop failure have become common in the area. The study assessed the knowledge and awareness level of female farmers in the community about climate change. It also identified the effects of climate change on the livelihood of the women in the community as well as examined the adaptation strategies used by the farmers as a way of coping with the situation. Qualitative method was used to conduct the study. Focus group discussions and key informant interview were employed. Findings of the study indicated that climate change has negatively affected the livelihood of female farmers in the community leading to a decline in food crops production and water stress possibly because of observed temperature rise. Furthermore, the study indicates the main challenges to climate change adaptation, to include poverty, lack of adequate information on the adverse impact of climate change, basic infrastructure challenges and modern farming implements and practices. The study recommends that female farmers be educated on the negative impacts of climate change and training with the necessary adaptation strategies to build their resilience. The Ministry of food and Agriculture should formulate direct policies targeted at rural female farmers to adapt to climate change and device a modern agricultural techniques and practices to boast food production in the area.
