Within the academic territory of Economic Sociology, this study explores the existence of Schumpeterian (innovative) entrepreneurs in socioeconomic and politically unstable regions of the Earth at the beginning of the 21st century. Entrepreneurship literature within Economic Sociology opens the door for this kind of exploratory ethnographic field research that may lead us to a better comprehension of the phenomenon of entrepreneurship and development in different societies. A visit to one of the most underdeveloped and politically unstable countries of the world – Haiti – in the end of 2007 served as a very straightforward method of locating key informants and exploring possible answers to the research question. Evidences show that not only is it possible to find Schumpeterian entrepreneurs under such extreme circumstances but also innovative business practices that could be employed even in materially developed and developing societies.

Based on decades of global insights into the life of successful and unsuccessful entrepreneurs, Professor Campos deconstructs the myth that successful startups are built upon great ideas, once and for all proving the vast majority of aspiring entrepreneurs are positioned to explore their potential before having a specific idea in mind for a new venture.
In a friendly yet defiant and inverted manner, the book starts with the traditional end – by drawing a supported conclusion about modern entrepreneurial endeavors. Professor Campos then succinctly navigates through real cases and recent powerful concepts such as Design Thinking, Effectuation and Lean Startup, in an audacious quest to explain why execution is emerging as the main source of entrepreneurial achievement around the world.
The Upsidedown approach is presented in a conversational tone, allowing readers to discover an entrepreneurial process based on their ability to explore existing resources and social connections, thus debunking the myth that the idea is the crucial first step.
