This comprehensive composite index is based on recognized interactions among different factors affecting intensity and types of entrepreneurial activity, which in turn is impacting the well-being. It brings qualitative differences in entrepreneurship depending on time and space into calculation of the composite index. Besides, EQI is the missing piece of the entrepreneurship puzzle, and the quality of entrepreneurship is a significant factor that shows why less developed countries do not achieve higher levels of economic growth, despite their high rate of entrepreneurial activities. This book does a masterful job in explaining the diversity of existing perspectives, their contributions, and their shortfalls. It applies rigorous tools of mathematical statistics and quality engineering, such as Bayes' rule, maximum likelihood estimation, six sigma algorithm, and standardization equation, to derive and introduce EQI, as a novel operations research model. It offers a number of important ideas and insights as to how the quality of entrepreneurship can be measured more accurately. It also illustrates the proposed approaches showing their efficacy across time. The proposed solutions are logical and empirically sound; they represent an important leap in thinking about the quality of entrepreneurship. Its contribution is crucial and timely -- one that will be well recognized by researchers worldwide. They give a much-needed framework along with the necessary tools to evaluate and measure entrepreneurial activities. 001439267 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed August 31, 2021). 001439267 650_0 $$aEntrepreneurship. 001439267 650_0 $$aQuality control. 001439267 650_6 $$aEntrepreneuriat. 001439267 650_6 $$aQualité$$xContrôle. 001439267 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001439267 7001_ $$aSarreshtehdari, Lida,$$eauthor$$1https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0317-1281 001439267 7001_ $$aBonyadi, Ebrahim,$$eauthor$$1https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3919-0871 001439267 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z303077158X$$z9783030771584$$w(OCoLC)1249494100 001439267 830_0 $$aContributions to management science,$$x2197-716X 001439267 852__ $$bebk 001439267 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-77159-1$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001439267 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1439267$$pGLOBAL_SET 001439267 980__ $$aBIB 001439267 980__ $$aEBOOK 001439267 982__ $$aEbook 001439267 983__ $$aOnline 001439267 994__ $$a92$$bISE
