The current study built and empirically tested a model of the relationships between selected organisational variables, Organisational Learning (OL) capability and performance in the context of small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Malaysia. Theoretical advances in the OL domain have been based on the experiences of large organisations in the western hemisphere. In response, the study focuses on analysing the OL capability of SMEs in a transitional economy, namely Malaysia. Structural equation modeling was applied to analyse the datasets from 256 manufacturing and services SMEs. Statistical results showed that entrepreneurial orientation and human-capital development practices have direct positive effects on SMEs' OL capability. It was further found that human-capital development practices mediated the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation and OL capability. This implied that while entrepreneurial orientation fosters the need for a strong OL capability, human-capital development practices serve as the mechanisms for developing such capability. Lastly, empirical evidence was provided to support the notion that OL capability enhances the performance of SMEs.

Abstract Drawing on the resource-based view, we propose a model to understand the roles of human capital, market and entrepreneurial orientation, absorptive capacity and ways to improve performance with an effective innovation strategy for hospitality development. We combine the Fuzzy Delphi Method, Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory and analytic network process to demonstrate the interactions and relations among critical criteria by using data from 20 Taiwanese restaurant entrepreneurs obtained in 2015–2017. The positive effects of human capital, market orientation, entrepreneurial orientation and absorptive capacity on innovation performance are confirmed. These findings advance resource-based scholarship and highlight the value of understanding the relationship between a restaurant’s tangible and intangible resources for hospitality development.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to establish a more robust empirical support for the long established postulation by Adam Smith and Joseph Schumpeter that human capital and institutions enable Schumpeterian entrepreneurship, which, in turn, facilitates economic growth. Design/methodology/approach Adopting entrepreneurial orientation (EO) (i.e. innovativeness, proactiveness and risk taking; Mthanti and Ojah, 2017, Research Policy, 46:4, pp. 724-739) as the measure of Schumpeterian entrepreneurship at the macro-level, and using a sample of 93 countries, over 1980-2008, the authors employ system Generalised Method of Moments to investigate institutions and human capital as possible determinants of Schumpeterian entrepreneurship (EO). Findings The authors find that the human capital-EO nexus is robust across economic development levels. However, there is a cross-country variation in the institutions-EO nexus. In line with theoretical predictions, institutions indeed drive EO in middle-to-high-income countries. However, in low-income countries, building institutions in order to foster EO yields perverse outcomes, which, for us and especially based on deeper analysis, suggest that improving the quality of institutions may not be a necessary precondition for EO/growth policy in low-income countries. Furthermore, the authors find that EO is a highly persistent series, with self-reinforcing network effects, i.e. lofty EO behaviour encourages more lofty EO behaviour. Research limitations/implications Drivers of macro EO are erroneously taken as of growth. This empirical analysis corrects the sequencing. Practical implications Policy practice must acknowledge macro-EO importantly has both direct and indirect growth effects. Originality/value This study is the first to empirically test the theoretical sequence between drivers of growth/EO and economic growth.

The Village

Village-owned enterprises (BUMDes) are economic institutions that have a strategic role in improving the village economy. However, BUMDes operational activities often face obstacles that cause BUMDes not to run as they should. This study aims to analyze the effect of human capital, organizational culture, and entrepreneurial orientation on the performance of BUMDES. The population in this study was 242 BUMDes scattered in Kampar Regency. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling by selecting active BUMDes. Respondents in this study were BUMDes managers. Of the 140 active BUMDes, 120 BUMDes participated in this research. The data collection technique uses a questionnaire that is distributed online via a google form. The results of data analysis using WarpPLS 7.0 show that human capital, organizational culture, and entrepreneurial orientation positively affect the performance of BUMDes. This research implied that knowledge and expertise possessed by managers and applying them will further improve the performance of BUMDes. It is also important for commitment, loyalty, and trying to give the best in implementing organizational culture. Creativity in innovating, being proactive, and having the courage to take risks and work hard are also crucial in managing BUMDes. Based on the research limitation, it is suggested that further research can expand the research area and use other variables that can affect the performance of BUMDes, such as innovation or leadership style.
