Mindfulness, indigenous knowledge, indigenous innovations and entrepreneurship

Celine Marie Capel · 2014 · Journal of Research in Marketing and Entrepreneurship

Summary. Mindfulness enables indigenous communities to develop and value their own knowledge systems, fostering indigenous innovation and entrepreneurship.

This recognition facilitates indigenous-led business ventures and innovations rooted in local understanding.
