Trust: Creating the Foundation for Entrepreneurship in Developing Countries

Entrepreneurs in developing countries cannot rely on the usual foundations--laws, regulation, government protection--to support their ideas. Good ideas can easily be swallowed by mistrust. Tarun Khanna shows how inspiring entrepreneurs compensate for these inadequacies by nurturing webs of trust as a complement to their solutions. They create the conditions to create.

Tarun Khanna is the Jorge Paulo Lemann Professor at the Harvard Business School and a serial entrepreneur across the developing world. He is a Young Global Leader of the World Economic Forum. He recently chaired the government of India's Expert Committee on Innovation and Entrepreneurship and was honored by both the Academy of Management and the Academy of International Business. James Gillies has been a familiar voice across BBC television and radio for nearly a quarter of a century, having worked as an actor, a continuity announcer, a program narrator, and a newsreader. In 2013, he decided to shift his focus to his favorite part of the job--performance and storytelling--and has since narrated numerous audiobooks. He lives with his wife and two Norwegian Forest cats in the picturesque old weaving village of Kilbarchan in Scotland.
