To introduce new measures into a company’s organizational structure, a detailed research process on which measures are requested and can be implemented, as well as an external consultant or tool, need to be used. This process is very individual per company. The goal is to improve employee satisfaction, have less fluctuations, and put extra financial costs into perspective.","PeriodicalId":246224,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the International Council for Small Business","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133535883","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 country faces a steep decline in female labor force participation and a “youth bulge,” with 54 percent of the population below the age of 25. The postpandemic era has necessitated the need for small and medium-sized enterprises to reinvent themselves to adapt to the fast-paced digital landscape. The perceptions of human capital and the inclusion of women in family business succession planning are often ignored. The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship of nonfamily employees and gender inclusivity on the survival of family-owned businesses. The authors propose a more inclusive culture in the FoB landscape as they undertake an ethnographic study to review literature between 2017 and 2022 while highlighting the impact of organizational culture to achieve gender egalitarianism and aid the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.","PeriodicalId":246224,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the International Council for Small Business","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131963191","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}

Although there are many opportunities to be built, traditional theories of business internationalization do not specifically address the pervasive effects of digital technologies. This article aims to jointly study digitalization and firm internationalization and proposes an overall conceptual process that links these dimensions through entrepreneurial behaviors of firms and entrepreneurs. This process demonstrates how the use of digital technologies impacts entrepreneurial behaviors and how this might shape new opportunities to enhance the propensity for internationalization of firms. It illustrates that the effective use of digital technologies depends to a large extent on the entrepreneurial behaviors of firms (with an entrepreneurial orientation) and of entrepreneurs (with their self-efficacy). These results provide new relevant practical value to practitioners and policy makers.","PeriodicalId":246224,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the International Council for Small Business","volume":"63 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124426286","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}

This study examines the arrangements made by companies in French-speaking Switzerland to prevent or reduce the negative aspects of teleworking in order to improve the experience for their employees.

The literature review enabled these risks to be classified into six categories and was used to guide the interviews. The results offer interesting insights for academic researchers and practitioners.

The proposed Enterprise Risk Management and CSR framework can also be used by consultants and supporting agencies to evaluate the risk management activities in SMEs and to help them better to tailor their training to the needs of SMEs. For other researchers, this research model might be a good starting point for developing more comprehensive frameworks for the evaluation of ERM and CSR systems in SMEs.","PeriodicalId":246224,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the International Council for Small Business","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115848165","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}

Hence, considerable efforts remain to be made in this strategic area. Consequently, the research question of this article is: What is the influence of entrepreneurship education on the entrepreneurial intention of students in Morocco and more specifically in the region of Rabat-Sale-Kenitra? The empirical exercise relies on structural equation modeling based on data from 387 students from different universities. Results indicate that Ajzen’s theory of planned behavior is also valid in the Moroccan context. From a practical standpoint, this research can provide policy makers and academics with a better understanding of the phenomenon studied and provide them with guidance in program development by encouraging them to integrate entrepreneurship throughout their academic curriculum.","PeriodicalId":246224,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the International Council for Small Business","volume":"74 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123194848","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}

There are many factors that promote and many factors that inhibit the urge to start new businesses. The interplay between these many factors has not been a subject of intense study because the interactions between these factors make it a complex research problem. Focused on nascent entrepreneurship or prestart-up stages, this article presents a conceptual model and derives research propositions stemming from the research model. In particular, the mediating effects of promoting factors in reducing the inhibitory impact of negative factors is the novel contribution in the development of the research hypotheses. For example, self-efficacy can mediate to weaken the impact of perceived barriers on entrepreneurial intentions. Our broad research model will spur specific empirical research to identify statistically significant factors that promote and inhibit entrepreneurial intentions. Practitioners and policy makers can then focus on these factors to accelerate start-ups.","PeriodicalId":246224,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the International Council for Small Business","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123873483","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}

Using Global Entrepreneurship Monitor data, it was observed that countries with high fear of failure have low total early-stage entrepreneurial activity for developed countries only, and that the gap between the ratio of men to women entrepreneurs in countries with high fear of failure is narrower. Countries with higher self-perceived capabilities are lower in fear of failure. However, societal norms, education, access to funding, and perceived government policy had little effect. Countries with greater economic development seem lower in fear of failure than those less developed and the higher the rate of necessity-driven entrepreneurship, the less relevant fear of failure becomes in inhibiting entrepreneurship. This article aims to understand which factors can influence fear of failure to allow governments to put in place policies to reduce this as a barrier to start-ups, which ultimately influences the country’s prospects for economic growth. This article can be used to encourage policies that can be tailored to each country’s unique ecosystem based on the underlying reasons for fear of failure in that country.","PeriodicalId":246224,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the International Council for Small Business","volume":"65 8","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132791478","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 lockdown and community quarantine put micro-, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs)’ resilience to the test. With nonessential businesses closed and all consumers isolated, the survival of businesses remains at risk. As owners are challenged to survive, contradictory perspectives on the resiliency of small and medium-sized enterprises during adversity emerge. This study aims to determine the moderating effect of entrepreneurial social identity on the relationship between perceived attitude and resilience behavior of business owners. According to the findings, MSMEs’ perseverance led to a structure that maximizes technology and expands community network. The result shows MSMEs’ vitality and resilience during COVID-19. Evidently, the mediating effect of entrepreneurial social identity enhanced the resilience of the owners, which resulted in technology-based opportunities and re-creation of community-based enterprises. Indirectly, but significantly, the creativity and self-sufficiency of MSME owners contributes to the reduction of poverty and unemployment.","PeriodicalId":246224,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the International Council for Small Business","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121713506","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}

Digitization and decentralization foster the need for new leadership approaches. Entrepreneurs need to “let go” and give autonomy to their followers while supporting them to use this freedom effectively. It is assumed that the flexibility of the organization and individual goal achievement increase when the followers perceive autonomy. However, autonomy must be accompanied by development support, and for this to be possible, self-leadership skills must first be present at the level of the entrepreneurs before they can exemplify them to their followers. The results clarify that both autonomy and development support of entrepreneurs are positively related to self-leadership skills. Findings also highlight the impact of autonomy by indicating that it is positively related to goal achievement.","PeriodicalId":246224,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the International Council for Small Business","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126689759","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}
