The results of the study show that, at this time the stakeholders who support the sector have no coordinated system. As an indicator, they do not have a signed document or procedure to work together. Furthermore, there is no single window/one service center to support the sector together with the stakeholders. In addition, lack of foreign currency supply, lack of developed working place, infrastructure and power interruptions, bureaucracy and rent-seeking behaviour, and procedures of revenue and customs are the biggest obstacles to investors in the sector

Furthermore, the worth added must be monitored and evaluated using appropriate measurements (M). In addition, a summary of the articles in this edited book demonstrates how this edited book aid both practitioners as well as academics in textual writings in light of the well acknowledged theory-practice gap.
