Sustainable development in the Maldives: the Dhivehi context of entrepreneurship
by Leo-Paul Dana
International Journal of Entrepreneurship and Innovation Management (IJEIM), Vol. 2, No. 6, 2002

Abstract: Much entrepreneurship literature associates entrepreneurs with an affinity for, or at least a tolerance of, calculated risk. Indeed, small business usually involves some degree of risk. Also, financing is often a central issue for entrepreneurs, as reflected in the literature.
