Trust: Creating the Foundation for Entrepreneurship in Developing Countries: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Trust: Creating the Foundation for Entrepreneurship in Developing Countries" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

Entrepreneurs in developing countries who assume they will have the same legal, governmental, and institutional protections as their counterparts in the West will fail. To succeed, they need to build trust within the existing structures--and this book shows how its done.
Entrepreneurial ventures often fail in the developing world because of the lack of something taken for granted in the developed world: trust. Over centuries, the developed world has built customs and institutions such as enforceable contracts, an impartial legal system, and credible regulatory bodies--and even unofficial but respected sources of information such as Yelp and Consumer Reports--that have created a high level of what scholar and entrepreneur Tarun Khanna calls ambient trust.
This is not the case in the developing world. But Khanna shows that rather than become casualties of mistrust, smart entrepreneurs can adopt the mindset that, like it or not, its up to them to weave their own independent web of trust--with their employees, their partners, their clients, their customers, and society as a whole. This can be challenging, and it requires innovative approaches in places where the level of societal mistrust is so high that an official certification of quality simply arouses suspicion--and lowers sales! Using vivid examples from Brazil, China, India, Mexico, and elsewhere, Khannas stories show how entrepreneurs can build on existing customs and practices instead of trying to push against them. He highlights the role new technologies can play (but cautions that these are not panaceas) and explains how entrepreneurs can find dependable partners in national and local governments to create impact at scale.
As far back as the 18th century, Adam Smith recognized trust as what Khanna calls the hidden engine of economic progress. Frankness and openness conciliate confidence, Smith wrote. We trust the man who seems willing to trust us. That kind of confidence is critical to entrepreneurial success, but in the developing world entrepreneurs have to establish it through their own efforts. As Khanna puts it, The entrepreneur must not just create, she must create the conditions to create.

Praise for Trust

Trust deals with entrepreneurs across the developing world, where creativity is sorely needed. Khanna weaves together stories of conventional and social enterprises in the private sector and in government. He recognizes the enormous promise of technologybut to be used wisely. A highly readable and must-read narrative!

Nandan Nilekani, cofounder of Infosys Technologies and Founding Chairman, Unique Identification Authority of India (Aadhaar)

Trust is central to any enterprise, and this is especially true across countries in Latin America and the developing world, as Khanna suggests it must be. We work hard to build and maintain it with our customers, employees, bankers, suppliers, investors, and public authorities. Trust is by far more important than simply counting on the rule of law or our institutions. It is the vital underpinning of our growth and prosperity through thick and thin.

Woods Staton, Chairman, Arco Dorado, Mexico

Khanna studies the core of the matter for entrepreneurship in emerging markets. Entrepreneurs in such markets face a friction-full environment. As a friend of mine says, We live in a market economy with Soviet scaffolding and because of this everything needs to be negotiatednothing happens by itself. And why does this happen? The answer is lack of trust!

lvaro Rodrguez Arregui, cofounder and Managing Partner, IGNIA, Mexico

Khannas book is right on target in spotlighting the supreme importance of trust not just in private entrepreneurship but in all connections between entrepreneurs and government, civil society, and people. As Khannas examples compellingly demonstrate, building and maintaining healthy levels of trust is crucial for human progress.

Muhammad Ali Pate, former Minister of State for Health, Nigeria

Khanna skillfully and convincingly argues that trust is a core part of the enabling environment that civil society and the state must foster to enable enterprising individuals to help themselves. I would recommend it to all interested in private sector development.

Emmanuel Jimenez, Executive Director, International Initiative for Impact Evaluation (3ie), India

Challenges abound across the developing world, and its up to us to address them and not wait for the government or for charity. My experiences as an entrepreneur across Africa make me appreciate Khannas focus on weaving a web of trust to get everyone focused, very practically, on how ventures get built and how they scale across large populations. I hope young people everywhere are inspired by this books can-do spirit.

Mo Ibrahim, founder of Celtel International and founder and Chair, Mo Ibrahim Foundation, Africa

Preface I have been studying entrepreneurs in developing countries for about - photo 5

Preface

I have been studying entrepreneurs in developing countries for about two decades. Initially my work was with incumbent enterprises, often in the form of large family-run businesses. Along the way, though, it was curious to see how the new kids on the block nonetheless forced their way into contention, despite having the deck stacked against them. Established companies had much readier access to scarce money and talent, and they knew how to deal with often-corrupt corridors of power. But that did not stop new entrepreneurs from finding chinks in the armor of the old guard.

Then, less than a decade ago, I began supporting young entrepreneurs as an angel investor, and soon after, I started my own enterprises in the developing world. I connect and advise the surplus talent and a flood of ideas in Cambridge, where I work, with the huge opportunities and need for insight in the developing world.

I have found this work to be intensely creative... and exhilarating! In fact, I find entrepreneurship-in-the-field and my academic work to be entirely symbiotic, if perhaps unusual (or so Im told).

In this short book, comprising a few illustrative stories, Ive tried to distill some of the patterns Ive found. None of the stories here are about my own ventures, though the accounts are informed by them. Rather, these are individual entrepreneurs and settings Ive studied and worked with in myriad capacities, usually each in multiple ways and for a few years, and sometimes for more than a decade.

The themes in the chapters also directly inform my own entrepreneurial efforts. For example, coming face-to-face with the visceral distrust that consumers routinely display when looking for all manner of daily consumablessuspecting vendors of either being incompetent or unscrupulousled me to co-found Aspiring Minds, a machine-learning talent assessment firm that uses technology to certify the quality of talent all over Asia, operating from its offices in Beijing, New Delhi, and Manila. Aspiring Minds helps cement trust in the ecosystem by connecting youth to economic opportunities.
