Sustainable development in the Maldives: the Dhivehi context of entrepreneurship

Abstract

Much entrepreneurship literature associates entrepreneurs with an affinity for, or at least a tolerance of, calculated risk. Indeed, small business usually involves some degree of risk. Also, financing is often a central issue for entrepreneurs, as reflected in the literature. However, the Dhivehis - who are the inhabitants of the Maldives - do not associate risk with business activities; nor do they feel constrained by the lack of financing, despite the absence of capital markets and the limited banking facilities in this archipelago.
