WHAT MAKES AN ENTREPRENEUR?

Dr. Glen Laman answers this question in his book, Jamaican Entrepreneurship, exploring the achievements of 15 outstanding Jamaicans and their divergent paths to success. The book shows what they did, how they did it and why they did it. While most of these entrepreneurs were able to accomplish their dreams in Jamaica, others pursued success in the North American market by fulfilling the needs of The Diaspora. The book also highlights the historic, social, political and geographic factors which contributed to the development of the Jamaican economic environment. This background puts the achievements of the Jamaican businessmen and businesswomen into proper perspective, making their successes even more astounding and inspirational.
