Entrepreneurship and viral development in rural Western Negev in Israel
Summary. Rural entrepreneurs in Israel's Western Negev region show willingness to cooperate through open incubators, but lack the key personal traits and business attitudes needed for viral economic growth. Only highly motivated entrepreneurs with power-seeking drive possess both required profiles. The study identifies that mavens, connectors, and salesmen—the influential few—need targeted support and attitude improvement to catalyze regional development through collaborative business initiatives.
