Addressing the theoretical and practical gaps in our knowledge around developing internal and external domains of youth entrepreneurship, the book places particular emphasis on South Africa, but offers insights and implications that can be applied far beyond our borders. It makes the case that it is possible to develop internal domains through various models. These models include ‘shifting hope activating potential entrepreneurship’ (SHAPE), ‘youth entrepreneur support’ (YES), and ‘systemic action learning and action research’ (SALAR). Validated through a series of assessments, these models were created as a basis for the development and application of a youth entrepreneurship ecosystem for university students.
