This individual level study examines how gender and the previous work exposure are associated with the entrepreneurial attitudes of the Omani university students. The entrepreneurial attitudes orientation (EAO) survey instrument (with four subscales) was used to measure the entrepreneurial attitudes of 144 Omani students. Exposure was measured through current or previous small business ownership, previous work exposure and family exposure. The research adds to the literature in the cultural and regional context and contributes to the existing knowledge by suggesting a theory-based understanding of the role of attitudes in the formation of entrepreneurial intentions. The study proposes how the policy makers can support young entrepreneurs to start novel business ventures in the region by creating a comprehensive entrepreneurial ecosystem which can contribute in the socio-economic development of the Sultanate of Oman.","PeriodicalId":133038,"journal":{"name":"J. for International Business and Entrepreneurship Development","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121819270","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}

Yet technology is offering immense opportunities for the new startups and venture creation for those who have intentions. This research is an attempt to adopt the theoretical constructs to investigate whether or not Indian aspirational youth of management education is being motivated to entrepreneurial intention. We have used six constructs on students' perceptions on (business environment, business knowledge, social norms, self-efficacy, entrepreneurial intentions and future choice of career) for two period of analysis to evaluate the effect of one year management education. Data are collected through survey method at entry point of students for two year PGDM course and after one year. We used paired t-test to find mean difference with reference to entrepreneurial intentions due to one year of management education. Moreover, we employed higher order structural equation modelling to test study hypotheses. In conclusion, we point out inadequacies of present entrepreneurial intention models and propose a direction of future research for improving efficacy of entrepreneurial intention model and its influence on pedagogy development of higher education.","PeriodicalId":133038,"journal":{"name":"J. for International Business and Entrepreneurship Development","volume":"928 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123291054","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}

Behavioural intent usually leads the entrepreneur to take real action which is also affected by the decision-making approach taken by the entrepreneurs. Moreover, the interplay between behavioural intent and speed of internationalisation can be moderated by the decision-making approach as it helps entrepreneurs to process the information. The purpose of this paper is to capture the complex interplay among the inclination to internationalise, internationalisation speed and effectuation. The data of the study were collected through a structured questionnaire from 150 IT entrepreneurs of Bangladesh which selected using non-probability convenient and judgmental sampling during April-June 2016. Structural equation modelling (SEM) has been used to find the relationship between constructs. The study result has showed a positive association between inclination for internationalisation and internationalisation speed. The study has also showed significant moderating impact of the effectuation decision-making approach on the relationship between the inclination for internationalisation and internationalisation speed. Effectuation decision approach positively moderates the relationship between the inclination for internationalisation and internationalisation speed.","PeriodicalId":133038,"journal":{"name":"J. for International Business and Entrepreneurship Development","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121644719","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}

It is evident that even today, well known organisations rely on gut feeling for assessing the ethical orientation of entrepreneurs. The difficulty in assessing ethical orientation is due to a lack of consensus amongst practitioners and researchers in objectifying ethical fibre in the context of entrepreneurship (Chell et al., 2016). It goes beyond the written, legal contracts. This paper argues that the subtle, relational and behavioural aspects of an employee's and employer's expectations from each other serve as an effective metric for a reliable assessment of the ethical orientation of entrepreneurs. Such implicit levels of unwritten expectations are referred to as psychological contract, which is of a much greater relevance in small and medium enterprises in today's millennial times. A breach of psychological contract would encourage an employee to break rules of the written employment contract and reduce their work efficiency (Guchait et al., 2015; Morrison and Robinson, 1997; Thomas et al., 2016).","PeriodicalId":133038,"journal":{"name":"J. for International Business and Entrepreneurship Development","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124577022","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}

Data were gathered through interviews with representatives of this state's chambers of commerce, government agencies and town halls. While the identified ID strategies will not replace the state's ubiquitous mining industry, these were nevertheless perceived as significant contributors to its future economic performance. The strategies primarily emphasised the potential and value of further developing tourism, international education, innovative and technological resources, and premium agricultural products. The proposed framework provides an interpretative and guiding tool, which highlights the strategic importance of a region's alternative resources as contributors to its diversification, economic development, and competitive advantage. In addition, the study will discuss various implications from the findings and identify future research strands.","PeriodicalId":133038,"journal":{"name":"J. for International Business and Entrepreneurship Development","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133556014","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}

Nevertheless, when a fashion brand decides to franchise its business, it also affects the control level over franchise store operations, which may influence a brand's image and overall success. This paper investigates how international fashion companies can implement and assure brand standards and qualities among their franchise network in emerging markets. With exploratory qualitative research authors give more insight into the general motives for fashion companies franchising their businesses in emerging markets and the implementation of brand standards, assuring quality and control, and challenges in operating franchise stores. The research shows that the implementation process and assurance of brand standards and qualities involve high management and control skills, in which a solid, lasting relation between franchisor and franchisee is required. With relationship marketing, the brand standards implementation can be strategically planned and managed. Since follow up and control of brand standards and qualities are often inconsistent, the procedures must get standardised.","PeriodicalId":133038,"journal":{"name":"J. for International Business and Entrepreneurship Development","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127892466","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}
