01 / ABOUT THIS VOLUME

The Next Entrepreneurial UAE: From History to EBA.

Connect the historical development of entrepreneurial capabilities with the next generation of UAE entrepreneurs and the contemporary analytical perspective of Entrepreneurial Business Architecture.

This volume forms part of a five-volume examination of the entrepreneurial history of the United Arab Emirates. It traces the people, commercial decisions, capabilities, relationships, enterprises and opportunities that shaped business development through different stages of the nation’s history.

Read the volume as a historical study of how individuals recognized opportunities, accumulated capabilities, built enterprises and transformed their economic circumstances.

02 / WHY THIS BOOK MATTERS

Entrepreneurial history through the actions of people.

From trading communities and visionary rulers to family enterprises, digital founders and emerging entrepreneurial opportunities, the UAE presents a rich history of people creating and developing businesses.

The purpose of this work is to understand how entrepreneurs identified opportunities, organized resources, built commercial trust, developed capabilities, entered markets and created enterprises. The history comes first; Entrepreneurial Business Architecture is used retrospectively to interpret relevant lessons without attributing a modern discipline to historical actors.

06 / WHO THIS BOOK IS FOR

For readers seeking to understand how entrepreneurs build their futures.

This work is intended for entrepreneurs, business owners, students, researchers and readers interested in the entrepreneurial history of the UAE and the processes through which economic capabilities, enterprises and markets develop.

Its historical perspective is especially relevant to individuals seeking to understand entrepreneurial initiative, opportunity discovery, business creation, market development and the transformation of personal and economic realities.

07 / THE ENTREPRENEURIAL PERSPECTIVE

History as knowledge for entrepreneurial thinking.

Entrepreneurial Business Architecture connects personal development, entrepreneurial capability, opportunity discovery, business creation and sustainable entrepreneurial development.

These volumes examine entrepreneurs and enterprises within their own historical circumstances, then draw analytical lessons where warranted by the evidence. They do not suggest that historical actors were consciously applying a contemporary EBA framework.
