Abstract

Shouldered by strong industrializing nations, Southeast Asia is a fast-evolving region that is culturally rich with countless aspirational indigenous entrepreneurs. The aim of this book is to unearth indigenous entrepreneurship in Southeast Asia, which is largely an unexplored research domain. By showcasing examples of mundane and indigenous entrepreneurial activities in several Southeast Asian countries (from the mediating role of “Diuwongke” in Indonesia to traditional industries of the Muslim Malay-Bumiputera in Malaysia), we hope to enlighten scholars and provide managerial and policy-forming directions to practitioners. Conventional understanding of management and entrepreneurship originating from the Western context, is challenged and enriched by the value of traditional wisdom, narratives, relationships and communities, social and decolonial activism, and indigenous ways of entrepreneurial resilience. We conclude in this chapter with brief reflections on the contributions made and offer an outlook on future research geared at geographic scope with suggested research themes.
