Acknowledgements
Editing this book has been an arduous journey but rewarding task.
Thus, it has been most gratifying to complete the book due to the
high level of scholarship embedded in each chapter. My sincere thanks
to Vishal Daryanomel for his support with this book. My gratitude goes
to my family—Kaye, David, Stuart, Hamish, Tomomi and Sakura. My
family has wholeheartedly supported my academic career. My mum—
Kaye Ratten—inspired me to pursue this research project due to her
love for entrepreneurship, history and travelling. This book would not
have been possible without her support and encouragement. It has
been a pleasure to edit this book due to the interesting entrepreneurial
behaviour evident in the Oceania region. I have long been fascinated
by the differences in entrepreneurial activity across Oceania. It is clear
that economic growth is not the result of government policies alone
but also requires the input of others including business owners, citizens
and the community. While there is a tendency to point to entrepreneur-
ship as an urban-level phenomenon, it also occurs in regional and rural
areas. As an academic teaching and researching entrepreneurship, I am
adamant that new contexts need to be explored. This means not gener-
alizing entrepreneurship as something that occurs in the same way but
ratheracknowledgingthecountrycontexts.Thus,entrepreneurialactivity
in Oceania should not be overlooked. Entrepreneurship varies in its
dimensions and meanings. This means it is important to make Oceania
entrepreneurship more prominent in the academic community.
