Jamaican Entrepreneurship

Dr. Glen Laman answers this

question in his book, Jamaican

Entrepreneurship, exploring the

achievements of 15 outstanding

Jamaicans and their divergent

paths to success. The book shows

what they did, how they did it

and why they did it. While most of

these entrepreneurs were able to

accomplish their dreams in Jamaica,

others pursued success in the North

American market by fulfi lling the

needs of The Diaspora.

The book also highlights the historic,

social, political and geographic

factors which contributed to the

development of the Jamaican

economic environment. This

background puts the achievements

of the Jamaican businessmen

and businesswomen into proper

perspective, making their successes

even more astounding and

inspirational.
