Handbook of Best Practices in Sustainable Development at University Level
This book gives a special emphasis to state-of-the-art descriptions of approaches, methods, initiatives, and projects from universities, stakeholders, organizations, and civil society across the world, regarding cross-cutting issues in sustainable development. There is a perceived need for mobilizing the various stakeholders when attempting to promote sustainability in higher education and to promote best practices, which may inspire further initiatives.

Handbook of Research on Elderly Entrepreneurship
This handbook introduces readers to the concept of elderly entrepreneurship, and analyzes key issues concerning individuals and institutions. In addition, it presents theoretical and empirical studies exploring the reasons why elderly persons choose to pursue entrepreneurship, despite their advanced age. To investigate this comparatively new entrepreneurial phenomenon, the contributors address psychological, sociological and gerontological aspects, and share unique interdisciplinary insights. The book’s chapters are methodologically diverse, and the scale of analysis ranges from individual cases to country-level patterns. At a time when the world’s major economies are facing a demographic challenge due to ageing populations, elderly entrepreneurship may provide new economic opportunities and motivate more inclusive policymaking.

Der Businessplan in Theorie und Praxis
Stefanie Lahn nähert sich aus unterschiedlichen Perspektiven der Frage an, inwieweit mit dem Instrument Businessplan die Ziele der Gründungsförderung erreicht werden können. Sie stellt fest, dass nur ein Teil des entrepreneuriellen Prozesses abgedeckt wird. Die Heterogenität von Unternehmensgründungen, ihre Kontextabhängigkeit bzw. der Stellenwert von Kreativität im entrepreneuriellen Prozess und bei der Entwicklung neuartiger Geschäftsmodelle wird weitgehend negiert. All das deutet auf eine Überschätzung des Instrumentes Businessplan in der Gründungsförderpraxis hin. Somit ist fraglich, ob die Gründungsförderung ihre Ziele erreicht oder nicht eher Potenziale in diesem Bereich weiter brach liegen.
