United Kingdom, 9 November 2012 – With more than half of us wanting to start our own business, it is a challenging fact that actually less than 5 per cent do. Each year, Global Entrepreneurship Week encourages people to think about starting up their own business, providing practical skills and support for aspiring entrepreneurs. Emerald Group Publishing supports this year’s theme, “Pass it on, which encourages the sharing of skills, knowledge, confidence and resources, by providing free access to its collection of 10 enterprise and innovation journals. From 12-18 November 2012, you can read these publications by visiting www.emeraldinsight.com/tk/gew2012

Recent issues in Emerald’s Entrepreneurship and Innovation collection have covered how to develop enterprising individuals, best practice tips from the stories

of those who have and are succeeding, and a recent special issue on innovation and diversity in entrepreneurship education. Titles include the Social Enterprise Journal, International Journal of Entrepreneurial Behaviour and Research and the Journal of Small Business and Enterprise Development.

As a publisher, Emerald is committed to demonstrating the real-world, practical application of the content it publishes, and is proud to support initiatives such as Global Entrepreneurship Week – which began life in the UK back in 2004 as Enterprise Week. It is now recognized as the world’s largest campaign to promote entrepreneurship, which engaged over 10 million people in more than 120 countries in 2011.

Emerald also publishes a number of books and book series volumes on the subject of enterprise and innovation.
