A Word on Ethical Entrepreneurship:<br />
It must be recognized that entrepreneurship<br />
flourishes during times of war, economic<br />
instability, famine and natural disaster, and in<br />
situations where governments turn a blind eye<br />
to lucrative illicit activities. The Linkage Model<br />
supports ethical private sector development<br />
and responsible entrepreneurship. This<br />
means encouraging business practices that<br />
are legal, transparent, fair and honest, and<br />
promoting a definition of entrepreneurship that<br />
does not focus exclusively on cash flow and<br />
bottom lines.<br />
