Summary: The industrialisation of rural areas is seen as a step to solve the problem of rural poverty. Today, however, there are just not enough individual entrepreneurs around to start such industries. Group entrepreneurship is a mid-way stage on the road to a full-fledged cooperative during which an NGO assists a group to get organised around a productive activity. The book explores how this idea arose from the field experience of the authors. They distinguish group and individual entrepreneurship, and elaborate on the division of tasks between the people and the supporting agency. A chapter illustrates some types of activities which could be taken up under group entrepreneurship. Group entrepreneurship throws a challenge to the NGOs, if they are to be good promoters of entrepreneurship amongst the people. The final chapter deals with training for group entrepreneurship.
