{"title":"How small printing firms alleviate impact of pandemic crisis? Identifying configurations of successful strategies with fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis","authors":"Marcin Suder, Rafał Kusa, Joanna Duda, M. Dunska","doi":"10.15678/eber.2022.100204","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.15678/eber.2022.100204","url":null,"abstract":"Objective: The objective of this article is to identify strategies that can help small firms alleviate the negative impact of the Covid-19 crisis. We tested six strategies (namely, entrepreneurial, market penetration, market development, product development, diversification, and cooperation). In particular, we identified combinations of these strategies that may lead to performance during the current pandemic crisis. Research Design & Methods: This is a quantitative study that uses fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA). We identified and compared combinations of strategies that are specific for three market conditions;namely, non-crisis, the initial phase of the crisis, and the advanced phase of the crisis. The research sample consisted of 150 small printing enterprises operating across Poland. Findings: Our findings show that combinations that may lead to firm performance during crises differ from those that are specific for non-crisis conditions. Specifically, the presence of a diversification strategy together with the absence of a market-penetration strategy along with the presence of entrepreneurial, market-development, and product-development strategies may lead to an increase in firm performance before the crisis. During the initial phase of a crisis, the presence of an entrepreneurial strategy together with a product-development strategy or a product-development strategy that is accompanied by a diversification strategy may lead to an increase in firm performance. During the advanced phase of the crisis, the presence of an entrepreneurial strategy together with a product-development strategy along with a set of entrepreneurial, market-penetration, market-development, and cooperation strategies may lead to an increase in firm performance. The most common strategies are product-development and entrepreneurial strategies;these are present under all market conditions. Implications & Recommendations: This study confirms the role of a firm's strategy. This study exposes the necessity of adapting the strategy to changing market conditions. In particular, this study indicates which strategies and their combinations enable a firm to alleviate the impact of a crisis. These observations have meaningful managerial implications for entrepreneurs regarding the current Covid-19 pandemic crisis and possible future crises. Contribution & Value Added: The findings of this study contribute to the literature on the response to the Covid-19 crisis. In particular, this study indicates strategies that can help firms mitigate the impact of the pandemic crisis. This study implemented the fsQCA methodology to identify combinations of strategies that enable the mitigation of the negative impact of the crisis.","PeriodicalId":11726,"journal":{"name":"Entrepreneurial Business and Economics Review","volume":"128 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88087479","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Research Design & Methods: The study used panel data of BRICS countries for the period of 2001-2020. The article employs the quantitative method including the panel dynamic ordinary least square approach to analyse the data. Findings: The results showed that tourism provides greater opportunities for latent entrepreneurs in BRICS countries. The results of the control variables showed that economic complexity did not spur entrepreneurial inspiration while foreign direct investment improves entrepreneurial development in BRICS economies. Implications & Recommendations: The study concluded that policymakers should concentrate efforts on improving the tourism sector to accelerate the pace of entrepreneurial development. Appropriate policies should be implemented to further ease the business activities in the group of BRICS economies. Contribution & Value Added: The study adds value to the literature by providing an empirical analysis of the nexus between tourism development and entrepreneurship. The study focused on BRICS countries to see how tourism development springs up entrepreneurial inspiration among adults in emerging economies. The study models entrepreneurship function within the framework of the panel co-integrating regression approach. This is a powerful technique that accounts for endogeneity and serial correlation based on the first-different stationary of the variables.","PeriodicalId":11726,"journal":{"name":"Entrepreneurial Business and Economics Review","volume":"43 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87282352","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Research Design & Methods: The study was performed by means of an email survey questionnaire conducted on 63 employees in Madrid (Spain). The propositions and the research model were tested with fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA). Findings: The results illustrate that employees who aspire to become entrepreneurs evidence specific configurations in relation to the variables proposed before the Covid-19 pandemic. Nevertheless, these configurations in the new normal are only determinant for the absence of entrepreneurial decision. Implications & Recommendations: Background affects the link between the variables of creativity, communication, leadership, and entrepreneurial motivation. Thus, the uncertainty derived from Covid-19 influences entrepreneurial development, and consequently, it is recommended to consider these aspects in government policies that encourage support to potential entrepreneurs. Contribution & Value Added: Through a comprehensive assessment, this research contributes to the literature on entrepreneurship by addressing the gap related to entrepreneurial motivation and the impact of the new normal in the face of Covid-19.","PeriodicalId":11726,"journal":{"name":"Entrepreneurial Business and Economics Review","volume":"37 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81041121","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Research Design & Methods: A sample of 802 master students from nine universities/institutions in Vietnam and structural equation modelling (SEM) were employed to test developed hypotheses. Findings: The research demonstrates that attitude towards entrepreneurship played a more important role than entrepreneurial intention in sculpting start-up behaviour. Entrepreneurial education not only has direct effects on entrepreneurial attitudes and behaviours, but it also has serial mediation effects on entrepreneurial behaviour via two mediators, including entrepreneurial attitudes and intention. Moreover, entrepreneurial government policies and programmes were found to significantly reinforce the entrepreneurial attitude-in-tention-behaviour linkages. Implications & Recommendations: The findings of this research offer valuable insights for policymakers and practitioners who wish to encourage individuals’ entrepreneurial activities.
