Furthermore, we investigate whether such relations are moderated by the foreign social networks, both formal and informal, of international new ventures. Using a survey, we test our hypotheses on a sample of Italian high-tech INVs located in a cluster near Rome. A quantitative analysis is used to test the hypotheses. We found that EOs and MOs positively impact the post-entry international performance growth of INVs. Moreover, while informal foreign social network ties significantly moderate the impact of EOs and MOs, formal foreign social network ties do not have a significant moderating effect. Many theoretical and practical contributions are discussed in the paper.","PeriodicalId":126058,"journal":{"name":"The International Journal of Entrepreneurship and Innovation","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123711693","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}

The study is carried out in Gaziantep, which is one of the provinces where Syrian refugees live most intensely in Turkey. The data obtained from 395 Syrian refugee entrepreneurs who set up businesses in Gaziantep by the survey method have been evaluated with explanatory and confirmatory factor analysis, descriptive statistics, correlation, and structural equation modeling. As a result of the correlation analysis, positive and significant relationships were determined between their risk-taking tendency, achievement need, and entrepreneurship potential. Besides that, in the structural equation model created to test the research hypotheses, it has been found that the effects of both the risk-taking tendency and the achievement need on entrepreneurship potential were positive and significant.","PeriodicalId":126058,"journal":{"name":"The International Journal of Entrepreneurship and Innovation","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115449979","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}

We apply a structural equation modelling partial least squares structural equation modelling and multi-group approaches. The results verify the positive influence of SE on SP independently of NLC development. Nevertheless, network learning as a capability acts as a moderator by establishing the impact of the SE on SP. The moderating is determined by a strong NLC linking the SE's government, financial and organisational support. The findings contribute to the literature on entrepreneurship and innovation with relevant management implications by providing new evidence regarding the benefits of SE in terms of SP effectiveness.","PeriodicalId":126058,"journal":{"name":"The International Journal of Entrepreneurship and Innovation","volume":"84 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114921960","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}

The disconnection between EI and EB is caused by the inability to answer questions about how EI impacts EB. Using ethnographic methods allows for a fuller depiction of the social context in which entrepreneurs operate, demonstrating the relationship between EI and EB. However, EB remains practically defined and theory about EI is borrowed from other various other literatures, such as sociology, importing the problems as well as the benefits. I argue that the use of autoethnographic methods, researching EI–EB from the entrepreneur's perspective, produces data that can be used to build theory that maintains the practical tilt of entrepreneurship research and addresses its theoretical shallowness.","PeriodicalId":126058,"journal":{"name":"The International Journal of Entrepreneurship and Innovation","volume":"65 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126884290","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}

In contrast to the focus on (entrepreneurial) value in terms of economic output measures found embedded across different settings including in policy (Smith et al., 2019) and research (Ketchen Jr. et al., 2007), the collection of papers in this Special Issue give a voice to diversity, interrelationships, and context as key components of entrepreneurship and its value. For example, the interplay and heterogeneity of place and space, time, type of entrepreneurship, and entrepreneurs themselves, in the creation and experience of value in different forms are examined. The studies in this Special Issue, therefore, both create and shift knowledge regarding the value(s) being created in and by entrepreneurship. Thefive articles in this Special Issue span contexts, business models, sample groups, andmethodological approaches. These articles examine (a) themotivations of older entrepreneurswith a focus on affective value creation related to family and personal well-being and how these may influence subsequent business model choices made, (b) poverty and the multiple, and unexpected, value(s) of entrepreneurship that may provide a route out of poverty (c) the context-informedmotivations of Indigenous peoples in South America, (d) cultural values and their role in agricultural-based entrepreneurship in rural Scandinavia, and (e) the role of foundational (value) embeddedness in small firm decision making in the creative sector. Consequently, each engagement in entrepreneurship, or ‘entrepreneuring’ as per Hashim and Gaddefors, can be positioned as an ‘opportunity’ to achieve idiosyncratic value (Kapasi et al., 2021). In summary, these papers provide an opportunity to develop the conversation regarding the construct, concept, andmeasurement of ‘value’, thereby enhancing our knowledge on theoretical and empirical understanding of myriad and idiosyncratic value in the entrepreneurship context. Overview of papers The first paper, ‘Affective value creation through business model value decision making’ by Stirzaker et al., explores the motivations of older entrepreneurs with a focus on affective value creation related to family and personal wellbeing and how these may influence subsequent business model choices made. Informed by socioemotional selectivity theory (Carstensen et al., 1999), a theory that addresses non-economic value creation, the paper reports motivations that prioritise family-based affective value external to the enterprise itself. This is a move away, suggest the authors, from a common understanding on the interaction between business and family as underpinned by a presupposition that the family services the firm and in turn, the firm contributes income and employment to the family.

Building on secondary data and informal conversations with industry experts, the case recounts the story of Rocket Lab, an aerospace manufacturer and launch service provider founded in 2006 in New Zealand. The case elaborates on how unique contextual conditions in combination with the founder's vision and skills enabled Rocket Lab to become a dominant force in the space sector, even though the firm was founded in a country with virtually no history in spacefaring and highlights that Rocket Lab's emergence constituted the foundation of a burgeoning space industry in New Zealand. In doing so, the case sensitises students to the importance of self-reinforcing and mutually interdependent relationships in well-functioning I&EEs and the role policymakers play in this context. At the same time, it allows a critical discussion of I&EEs, particularly if they are dominated by a small number of anchor firms.","PeriodicalId":126058,"journal":{"name":"The International Journal of Entrepreneurship and Innovation","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134224230","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}

We correspondingly divided these countries into groups according to their income level (high- and upper-middle-income economies) with the data, structured into an unbalanced dynamic longitudinal panel (2000–2020), obtained from the National Expert Survey, Global Monitor Entrepreneurship and the World Bank. After applying the generalised method of moments, we may report that commercial, professional, physical and service infrastructures, government support and policies, R&D transfers, cultural and social norms and financing entrepreneurs positively affect economic growth independently of the national income level. Basic entrepreneurial education does not attain significance in explaining the economic growth of high-income economies and post-education is not significant in explaining the economic growth of upper-middle-income economies. Furthermore, government programmes generate negative effects on the economic growth of OECD countries when considered jointly and individually in high-income economies but with a positive effect on upper-middle-income economies that display an inverse behaviour in the case of the effects of taxes and bureaucracy. The upper-middle-income economies also registered a negative effect in terms of internal market dynamics and openness even while this factor returned positive effects in high-income economies.","PeriodicalId":126058,"journal":{"name":"The International Journal of Entrepreneurship and Innovation","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115716392","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}
