{"title":"The Consequences of Intrapreneurship in Exporting Firms: A Structural-model Approach","authors":"G. Brás, M. Preto","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.3892885","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.3892885","url":null,"abstract":"A number of recent scientific articles have studied the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation (EO) and firm’s performance, though not all came in the scope of international entrepreneurship (IE). Researchers often test mediating or moderating variables that help explain this relationship. The extensive academic findings lead us to a wide range of mediating/moderating variables and to a lack of consensus in this domain. This study is in scope of IE literature, and it aims to provide new and robust insights supported by consistent empirical findings and to adopt this structural-model approach as a reference in the absence of academic consensus. Specifically, the paper examines the contribution of intrapreneurship to both the firm’s international orientation (IO) and performance in light of the IE guidelines. To this end, we examine how the EO of Portuguese exporters influences corporate performance taking into account the meditating effect of their IO on the EO – performance association through structural equation modeling. Results confirm that IO positively and significantly mediates the relationship between EO and corporate performance. EO and IO were also found to have a direct and positive effect on corporate performance. These findings confirm the relevance of intrapreneurship and international commitment to a better organisational performance and gives us empirical support to conclude that effort taken in these domains could enhance the exporters’ performance. Moreover, this study makes an empirical and theoretical contribution to the IE topic and therefore aims to be a reference to the literature in this domain.","PeriodicalId":131271,"journal":{"name":"IRPN: Innovation & Entrepreneurship (Topic)","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126772179","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}

Two potential drivers of high vacancy rates along retail corridors in otherwise healthy real estate markets are identified: (1) location risk, and (2) positive feedback effects. This Article suggests that local governments can pursue a nudge-based approach to encourage landlords and retail tenants, especially small business owners, to adopt percentage rent or some other form of profit-sharing to more efficiently allocate location risk. To address positive feedback effects in which each storefront vacancy increases the likelihood of an additional storefront vacancy, a case is made for slightly stronger government intervention. Current legislative responses to the problem of retail vacancy are also considered, including vacant property taxes, commercial rent control, and zoning reclassification, and the advantages and disadvantages of each are examined.","PeriodicalId":131271,"journal":{"name":"IRPN: Innovation & Entrepreneurship (Topic)","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116283536","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}

Over a period of time, it has become the global standard, a key indicator of the health of the US economy (in particular) and the World economy (in general). There are other indices like the S&amp;P 500, Russel 3000, the Nifty 50 (Indian Stock Exchange), Nikkei (Japan) etc which have become key indicators of the Economic activities of the respective nations and regions around them. There are several advantages of a benchmark indicator or index that measures a particular market, as it provides a sense of direction of where the market is headed.<br><br>In the last 7-10 years the world has seen the rapid rise of Cryptocurrency markets. Today the Global Cryptocurrency Market (GCM) is valued at greater than half a trillion US Dollars and still growing. Interestingly, no credible benchmark index or indicator has been designed for the Global Cryptocurrency Markets. Those that do exist, capture a very small portion of the market sentiment or have a specific purpose and not useful to the layman investor. This lack of a global, credible benchmark index or indicator is one of the reasons that the cryptocurrency market is seen as volatile and unstable. <br><br>This paper introduces the concept of the K-Y Index which measures the Global Cryptocurrency market by capturing maximum market sentiment possible.

Some of them who had the knowledge of business plan did not put it into practice. Poor writing of a business plan and outright neglect to it therefore is one of the challenges facing entrepreneurs especially, the small scale enterprises in Nigeria. The focus of this paper is to give hindsight to the writing of a good business plan and to outline a comprehensive method of writing it. The justification of this paper is that, as a road map that directs entrepreneurship operations, a good business plan is a must to any prospective venture creature which must be consulted periodically to measure the progress or otherwise of the business. The business plan shall also be edited as time progresses. This paper shall rely on the available secondary sources that treated business plan in Nigeria and beyond. Available literature revealed that most entrepreneurs do not have sufficient knowledge of business plan while few, who had written business plan, did not apply them. The study recommended that efforts shall be made to educate entrepreneurs on the importance of business plan.","PeriodicalId":131271,"journal":{"name":"IRPN: Innovation & Entrepreneurship (Topic)","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115170946","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","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.3559638","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.3559638","url":null,"abstract":"The move to catalyze a global energy transition is underpinned by the collective need to limit the most severe impacts from climate change as well as fostering more sustainable economic growth. Floating photovoltaic power stations on Chinese lakes, integrated carbon capture technology on large-scale power plants in Canada, and decentralized urban wind turbines on Singaporean rooftops, are just a few examples of how the global energy transition is being fueled by radical innovation in the clean energy technology landscape (WEF 2017, Natural Resources Canada 2013, Karthikeya et. al. 2016). Bringing cutting-edge technology from the lab to the global energy market requires a supportive ecosystem: innovation must be matched by enabling technological development, market readiness to adopt disruptive technologies, local capacities to scale up new energy projects, energy policies with climate objectives, as well as sufficient and “aligned” investment capital. \u0000 \u0000This article focuses specifically on the latter requirement; the characteristics of investment capital needed to support clean energy innovation. Investors are key players in the future of energy, as they must drive innovation in the financial system in order to meet the scale of capital needed to transform the energy industry. Important technological leaps in sustainable energy have been hindered by a lack of or a misalignment of investment capital (WEF 2018, Bloomberg Finance New Energy Finance 2010, Monk et al. 2015). One evident example is the severe financing shortage in commercializing novel sustainable energy technologies. This so-called “valley of death” between early-stage cleantech and full-sized deployment is the result of many causes, but a common thread among them is increasing financial risks in the energy industry, as well as opacity within the energy ecosystem (In and Monk 2018). \u0000 \u0000We approach this funding shortage and widening valley of death in the energy sector from a newer perspective. We investigate underlying structural and organizational barriers in today’s capital markets, and discuss how to innovate the financial industry. Our discussion attempts to move the focus of current energy finance and investment research from a deal-by-deal perspective to a continuous process that involves asset owners, asset managers and entrepreneurs. This shift in perspective is important because “investors are often presented with a ‘deal’ rather than a historical understanding of a company, while entrepreneurs themselves are often faced with countless types of investors, from pensions and sovereigns to tax-equity providers” (In and Monk 2018, page 26). In our view, long-termism has been continuously undervalued as a key success factor, despite its strong potential to align various players in the ecosystem. Instead, asset owners and managers are often forced to rely on short-term and costly financial products and services to fund the long-term global project of energy transformation.
