This open acess book extends recent work on entrepreneurship in response to adverse events to explore entrepreneurial responses by people who face chronic adversity more deeply.  Instead of focusing on the sort of responses intended to destroy the institutions that create and sustain chronic adversity, the authors are interested in how individuals use entrepreneurial action to find a way within these adverse constraints to improve their lives.They explore the positive outcomes arising from these entrepreneurial actions for the entrepreneurial actor and their family members as well as the negative consequences of these entrepreneurial responses to chronic adversity—outcomes that diminish others’ well-being.The book relies on the lived experiences of those facing chronic adversity to provide insights into the bright—and dark—sides of entrepreneurship and the complexity of these relationships. It will serve as a valuable resource to scholars seeking to understandhow entrepreneurial action is conceived and implemented by those facing challenging resource-poor environments.

The sustainable consumption of resources is at the heart of most strategies to address climate change. Servitization towards sustainable smart product-service systems is one of the central means of coping with the paradox of sustainable growth. This book provides a comprehensive exploration of product-service systems (PSS), which offer a more efficient sharing-based service business model, and particularly the role of digital innovation to create more sustainable PSS models. There is a need for increased knowledge regarding the content and process of servitization towards sustainable smart product-service systems. This book combines studies from global experts, exploring sustainable product-service systems in a variety of organizational contexts. Individual chapters explore artificial intelligence, circular economy, value capture, supply chain, and many other topics. It will be of great interest to students and scholars of servitization, operations management, digital business and innovation strategy.
