For decades, entrepreneurship and strategy research has been dominated by agent-centric and inward-looking theoretical perspectives. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic demonstrates the limits of this stance, as its influence on business has been both enormous and palpable. For the most part, the effects of the pandemic are no doubt negative. Business research—and presumably business practice—typically address such influence in terms of failure, resilience, and crisis management among existing businesses. Contrasting this prevalent discourse, we focus instead on positive influence of the pandemic for some emerging and new ventures. We analyze the many possible positive effects on entrepreneurship practice and highlight also positive effects on entrepreneurship research. We illustrate both positives by applying the External Enabler framework. JEL CLASSIFICATION: L26, M13, O3, R11

Manapság egyre többet emlegetjük a közoktatásban, hogy milyen nagymértékben befolyásolja egy iskola sikerességét a vezető személye, a vezetés rátermettsége, kompetenciája, amely természetesen igaz is, azonban azt tapasztalom, hogy ezzel párhuzamosan egyre gyakrabban feledkezünk meg arról, hogy az iskola legfontosabb és legértékesebb szegmense valójában a diákság. Szakgimnáziumi illetve szakközépiskolai tanárként, valamint osztályfőnökként mindig az ő érdekeiket tartottam szem előtt; az ő viselkedésüknek megfigyelését és megértését, lelki és intellektuális fejlődésük nyomon követését kiemelt feladatomnak érzem. Vizsgálatomban egy ún. panelvizsgálatnak a segítségével 30 szakgimnáziumi és 30 szakközépiskolai tanulót kérdeztem meg a következő témákról: a vizsgált tanuló önértékelése, a vizsgált tanuló tapasztalata saját szüleinek nevelői attitűdjéről, valamint a vizsgált tanuló élménye az általa leggyakrabban tapasztalt pedagógusi attitűdökről. Ezután a felmérés kiértékelését követően igyekeztem összefüggést keresni a szülői valamint pedagógusi attitűdök és a tanuló önértékelése között, azt remélve, hogy mérhető bizonyítékot kapok arra vonatkozóan, mely szülői illetve mely pedagógusi attitűdök befolyásolják kedvezően, és melyek befolyásolják negatívan a tanulók önértékelését. Ha ez valóban mérhető, akkor célzottabb nevelési módszereket alkalmazhatunk a tanulók motiválása, egészséges énképének kialakítása érdekében, valamint információkat gyűjthetünk arról, mely életkorban mely pedagógusi attitűdök hatnak leginkább pozitívan a tanulói önértékelésre, ami segítségül szolgálhat a lehető leghatékonyabb tanári kar megszervezésében, illetve a pedagógusok munkájának orientálásában.These days, it is more and more often mentioned how strongly the person of the leader and the aptness and competence of the leadership influence the successfulness of the school in public education, and meanwhile we more and more often forget that the most important and most valuable segment of the school is in fact students. As a vocational school teacher, as well as a class-teacher, I have always focused on their interests, and have considered as a prime task to monitor and understand their behaviour and to follow their mental and intellectual development. In my examination, with the help of a so-called panel research, I asked 30 vocational secondary school students and 30 vocational technical school students about the following issues: self-evaluation of the examined student, the student’s experience on the educational attitudes of his/her own parents and the student’s experience on the teachers’ attitudes he/she meets the most often. After having the survey evaluated, I tried to find interconnections between the parents’ and the teachers’ attitudes and the student’s self-estimation, hoping that I would get a measurable proof of what attitudes have a positive influence on the students’ self-estimation and what have negative impacts. In case this is really measurable, we can apply more targeted educational methods to motivate the students and to develop a healthy self-image, and we can also gather information on the teachers’ attitudes exerting the most positive effects on the students’ self-estimation at the certain ages, which can help to organize the most effective teaching staff possible and the orientation of the teachers’ work.

This family business case study is concerned with investigating the issue of the complexity of the many views of the family business research, focusing exclusively on the entrepreneurial concept. In taking this concept, three characteristics were identified in this case study, namely: the attitudes, the skills, and the behavior. Along with these findings, it is suggested that the conceptual model, the so-called “the three circles,” where this three circle has an overlap and identify as a longer-term entrepreneurial perspective within the family-owned enterprise.

Abstract The article contributes to the existing literature by examining the non-linear effect of foreign direct investment (FDI) on the development of the Arab Maghreb Union (AMU) countries during the period 1980-2019. These countries multiply their FDI attraction policies in order to enrich the national externalities offered to local businesses and benefit from some positive effects on their economy in terms of growth, technology, know-how, etc. Using Panel Smooth Transition Regression Model (PSTR) and Panel Smooth Transition Autoregressive Model (PSTAR) models, our findings reveal that the FDI shows opposite effects below and over the estimated threshold. This highlights the asymmetrical effect of unforeseen shocks on its volatility. Policy implications are also discussed.JEL Classification: C51; C53; F21; F21; F34; O16; O23; R11.

- This paper evaluates the importance of some key elements in the process leading to the birth and start-up of a new firm. We focus on a sample of recently founded and innovative European firms in technological fields characterised by strong innovative and competitive dynamics in the last 15 years. Emphasis is placed both on the role of the founder and on the assets exploited and developed in the new ventures early stages. The analysis of the questionnaire confirms the importance of the intellectual capital of the founder and of the scientific and technological knowledge acquired during advanced studies or previous work experiences. It further confirms the importance of the human and financial capital (particularly, access to external funds) necessary to the start of entrepreneurial activity, of intellectual property rights and of the network of relationships with actors having complementary knowledge and assets (other firms, universities and public research centres, parent organisation). The analysis finally highlights interesting differences both at the geographical and sectoral level. Differences across geographical regions include the degree of development of financial markets and the opportunities to access external financial resources, but also and mostly the functions performed and the effectiveness of the university system. On the other side, differences across sectors include the assets exploited in founding the new venture and the key competences that allow it to survive and eventually grow.

Objective - The purpose of this research is to determine the effect of good corporate governance (GCG) on Indonesia's SOEs and the influence of state ownership on company performance. Methodology/Technique - This study examines State Owned Enterprises in Indonesia that were listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange between 2011 and 2015. Findings - The empirical results show that GCG and state ownership both have a positive influence on the company's financial performance (in this case, Return On Assets). However, the percentage of state ownership has a negative effect on the relationship between Good Corporate Governance and Return On Assets. Novelty - One agency cost is monitoring expenditure by the principal. Privatization is one way to improve the performance of SOEs. Privatization is believed to improve the performance of SOEs, as a result of increased supervision of the performance of SOEs in Indonesia.

The increasing development of information technologies (IT) has significantly affected both firms and markets. IT is currently changing the world in a more permanent and far-reaching way than any other technology in the history of mankind (Carrier, Raymond, & Eltaief, 2004). A new economy, where knowledge is the most important strategic resource, is forcing firms to review their traditional routines and take advantage of the tools able to create new value. Nowadays, there are two types of firms using this new IT. On the one hand, firms with physical presence (traditional companies) use the Internet as a new distribution channel or alternatively as a logical extension of their traditional business. On the other hand, there are dotcoms, Internet start-ups, or cybertraders (European Commission, 1997), which have been specifically conceived to operate in this new environment. A number of scholars have attempted to explain the creation of new ventures from many different theoretical perspectives (economics, psychology, and population ecology among others) and have also offered frameworks for exploring the characteristics of the creation process (Bhave, 1994; Carter, Gartner, & Reynolds, 1996; Gartner, 1985; Shook, Priem, & McGee, 2003; Veciana, 1988; Vesper, 1990; Webster, 1976). However, despite the growing literature in this area, few studies have explored the process of venture creation in dotcom firms. Cyberentrepreneurship is still in its emergent phase, and there is more to know about the phenomenon and the elements of the venture creation process (Carrier et al., 2004; Jiwa, Lavelle, & Rose, 2004; Martin & Wright, 2005). What are the stages they follow to create their firms? This article attempts to answer this question. First, we analyse the entrepreneurial process of a new firm’s creation. Second, we shed some light on how this process is applied by cyberentrepreneurs in starting their businesses based on an in-depth, multiple case study of eight entrepreneurs in Spain.

Abstract Scholars and policymakers contend that severe work-family constraints for women are a key contributor to lowest-low fertility in industrialized countries. Two separate areas of research have examined supports that could alleviate these constraints and potentially increase fertility: institutional support in the form of public policies and domestic labor support from male partners. There are few studies considering the influence of both policy and domestic labor supports and no investigations of the interplay between these two support mechanisms. We develop and test a theoretical framework that considers how the combination of these supports could alleviate women’s work-family constraints and increase fertility. Using the case of South Korea, a country with one of the most sustained lowest-low fertility rates in history, we examined the relationship between women’s eligibility for parental leave and husbands’ share of domestic labor and the transition to a second birth. Our analyses revealed that both supports, independently, had positive effects on the likelihood of a second birth. More importantly, we found that husbands’ domestic labor had a positive influence on fertility only when women’s access to parental leave was limited, suggesting that policy and domestic labor supports are substitutes and alleviate the same underlying work-family constraint in the Korean context. Our study underscores the importance of understanding the nature of work-family conflict across countries and how various supports―alone or in combination―could relieve women’s constraints on childbearing and upturn lowest-low fertility.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to propose a conceptual model and to investigate the relationships among internal marketing, organizational commitment and job performance in sport and fitness services. Design/methodology/approach Data were collected using a questionnaire survey from 254 employees at each of 12 municipal sport centers in Taipei City and were analyzed primarily using structural equation modeling techniques. Findings The results indicated that internal marketing has positive effects on organizational commitment and job performance. Moreover, organizational commitment has a positive influence on job performance and plays a partial mediating role in the relationship between internal marketing and job performance. The findings identify the relationships among internal marketing, organizational commitment and job performance. Originality/value This study proposed and tested an empirical model linking internal marketing, organizational commitment and job performance in sport and fitness services. Moreover, this study further probed into the path of influence of internal marketing strategies on job performance of employees by including their organizational commitment in the mediating process. The findings of this study have insightful implications and emphasize the important role of internal marketing in the management of customer service in sports.

Learning Types

Purpose The purpose of this paper is twofold: first, to analyze which policies of human resource management (HRM) contribute to exploratory learning and which to exploitation learning; and second, to determine the influence of the two types of learning on organizational performance. Design/methodology/approach The research hypotheses are tested by partial least squares with data from a sample of 100 Spanish hotels. Findings The results confirm that, in order of importance, selective staffing, comprehensive training and an equitable reward system lead to exploratory learning. Exploitative learning seems to be fundamentally driven by comprehensive training and an equitable reward system (but in a different way than with exploratory learning). Finally, both types of learning have a positive impact on performance. Practical implications Both exploratory and exploitative learning result from HRM practices. To maintain performance expectations managers should develop both learning types, which entails the utilization of the best HRM practices. Originality/value This study presents empirical evidence around the findings of other studies (Laursen and Foss, 2014; Minbaeva, 2013) which call for further research into whether strategic HRM configurations have positive effects on the two learning types. The results find some practices that have a positive effect in both cases, but with different intensities in their explanations. This finding reveals the need for more detailed exploration around which combinations of HRM practices, in terms of exploratory vs exploitative learning, are advisable for organizations. The study also finds that the two learning types have a positive influence on organizational performance.
