In an emerging nation like India, entrepreneurship has the ability to present a solution for many problems related to the economy. The Union territory (UT) of Jammu & Kashmir (J&K) has grave issues of high unemployment and low GDP. A strong form of entrepreneurship can help them overcome these issues. Strategic entrepreneurship has been proposed recently as a form of entrepreneurship which can do wonders for any organisation. So, the present endeavour assesses the strategic entrepreneurship among women owned enterprises in Jammu & Kashmir. The results propose strategic resource management, entrepreneurial mindset and entrepreneurial culture to contribute towards Strategic Entrepreneurship among women entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurial leadership is not found to have any significant impact there. In this study a model has been proposed to train women entrepreneurs so that their level of strategic entrepreneurship can be improved. With this they can contribute towards the entrepreneurial growth in J&K and thus overall economic development can be ensured.

Strategic Perspective

The combination of entrepreneurship and strategic management, called strategic entrepreneurship, is still in its infancy, as Hitt et al. proposed it in the year 2001. Since then researchers have continuously pushed their limits to explore it on different fronts and domains. But, so far, a mutual consent on what actually constitutes it has not been achieved. In developing nations like India, this concept presents huge opportunities for researchers to explore it on different dimensions and domains. Specifically talking about the state of Jammu and Kashmir ( J & K) where entrepreneurship was once considered to be a male-dominated field, this concept presents huge opportunities for researchers to fill in the gap. The aim of the present study is to develop and validate a scale which can be used to assess strategic entrepreneurship among women entrepreneurs of the state of J & K in India. The major takeaway of this study is that innovativeness, entrepreneurial culture, entrepreneurial leadership, entrepreneurial mindset, strategic management of resources and networking significantly load on strategic entrepreneurship. The study proposes a significantly positive relationship between the various dimensions which means a positive variation in one dimension leads to a positive variation in another as well and vice versa. The study provides a scale which can be used for test–retest analysis for future studies on strategic entrepreneurship in the state. This study is of great help to the researchers who want to explore strategic perspective of entrepreneurship among women entrepreneurs.

 This study further examines the influence of entrepreneurship in the innovation of the non-formal English language education industry (English course) that is oriented towards the achievement of competitive advantage. Entrepreneurship is characterized by entrepreneurial leadership, entrepreneurial culture, and an entrepreneurial mindset. This research approach is undertaken with strategic entrepreneurship. The method used is a quantitative method that begins with an explorative study of the English course industry in DKI Jakarta. The results of the discussion of institutional course data using a franchise system in which entrepreneurial mindset has no significant effect on entrepreneurial leadership and innovation strategy, as well as entrepreneurial culture, has no significant impact on innovation strategy. On the other side, institutional course data using a non-franchise system found that entrepreneurial leadership has no significant effect and is inversely proportional to innovation strategy. This research provides a new repertoire of entrepreneurial fusion and its impact on organizational innovation so that competitive advantage can be achieved. The entrepreneurial typology and innovation of the research results are given in managerial implications as the contribution of this study.

Strategic Human Resources Management

This study examines Pesantren (Islamic boarding schools) as institutions of education and religion, especially during the global and digital era. A central question concerns how Pesantren position themselves as traditional religious schools or follow the process of modernization, for example by enhancing their curriculum and changing their governance. This depends on the management model and leadership applied by the kyai (religious leader) in Pesantren in response to the changing era. In general, the leadership of Pesantren still adopt a centralized and hierarchical pattern placing the kyai as their central figure. A kyai with charismatic attainment organizes the Pesantren using his skills and knowledge. Research on the role of entrepreneurial and strategic leadership of kyais in Pesantren has been fragmented. This paper therefore examines the significance of the entrepreneurial leadership role of Kyai Salahudin Wahid in cultivating the transformational and entrepreneurial leadership spirit of Pesantren Tebuireng Jombang. The conceptual framework is focused on the development of a strategic human resources management framework which is then extended into the context of Pesantren, entrepreneurial leadership, and a strategic management perspective. Keywords: Strategic Entrepreneurship, Entrepreneurial Leadership, Pesantren, Kyai

Ecotourism is one of the fastest growing sectors within the tourism industry in Australia. The southern island state of Tasmania is one of the pioneers in creating sustainable ecotourist ventures. We explore, with a leadership behavioral lens, the role that the embodiment of authentic leader behaviors in social entrepreneurs has on ecotourism emergence. Authentic leader behaviors offer a response to some arguments that numerous ecotourist ventures are only sustainable and environmentally responsive in name only. Entrepreneurial leadership is critical in creating a culture conducive to social entrepreneurial growth and sustainability. This chapter concludes with recognition of the importance of future research into developing authentic leader behaviors in social entrepreneurs.
