This new reality brings a big challenge for entrepreneurship professors. This study explores the use of resources by professors during the COVID-19 pandemic to determine changes, support, and success factors to teach entrepreneurship. Also, we explore the resources that professors perceived that they would need postpandemic. We performed 13 qualitative interviews with entrepreneurship professors in Mexico. We identified institutional and emotional support and a network of support as essential elements for professors. Flexibility is a recurrent theme. Results from this research may be helpful for those in charge of educational institutions who need to adapt workplace policies and make sure to fulfill the needs of professors in times of crisis.","PeriodicalId":246224,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the International Council for Small Business","volume":"60 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128286538","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 particular, the research question to be answered is: Does the integration of nonacademic team members in the early stages tie with a higher intention to grow of the academic entrepreneur? The contribution is configured as a work in progress, and it introduces an advancement about team formation process. Implications for practitioners relate to the key role of team composition in fostering growth of academic spin-offs.","PeriodicalId":246224,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the International Council for Small Business","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126600580","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 article showcases the experience of John Cabot University, an accredited American liberal arts university in Italy, in developing entrepreneurship education, promoting a widespread entrepreneurial mindset, and leveraging the curiosity, spirit of enquiry, and openness to interdisciplinarity that characterize a liberal arts education to overcome financial constraints and the lack of in-house technology. The experience provides practitioners with a tested approach to creating a thriving entrepreneurial environment starting with a tabula rasa: it highlights the process and the overall strategy, it reflects on the key conditions necessary for success, and offers selected examples of implementation, measurement, and growth that are applicable to similar institutions.","PeriodicalId":246224,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the International Council for Small Business","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130171053","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 attention of digital solutions has been widely given to its use at the production segment of the food value chains; that is, on-farm activities. We argue that digital technologies can enhance productivity and resilience along the entire food value chain, while increasing sustainability in this domain. Our results show complete digitalization of food value chains in France, driven by innovative start-ups, with some stages more digitalized than others. Indeed, digital technologies are shown to support the three dimensions of sustainable development goals: economic, social, and environmental. However, their benefits should be equally accessible to all actors in this field, and we therefore suggest further research.","PeriodicalId":246224,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the International Council for Small Business","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126845311","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}

EP is the key to any organization’s success and leadership plays a significant role in influencing employees. TL affects performance and it’s posited that such effect is positive. However, criticisms of the leadership style have also been postulated. Due to these inconsistencies in previous studies’ observations, this study explores how TL is affected by digital communication in the new era impacted by digital transformation. Findings from this study will fill the gap in the existing literature by developing new knowledge on the relationship between TL and EP in the context of COVID-19, where many SMEs have shifted operations online.","PeriodicalId":246224,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the International Council for Small Business","volume":"81 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115358929","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}

Japanese SMEs are faced with two challenges; acute labor shortage owing to an aging society and globalization due to domestic market saturation. To address these issues concurrently, the present study focuses on foreign technical intern training program, and develops a model on how Japanese SME manufacturers conduct overseas production by hiring foreign interns. Under the supervision of Japanese government, foreign interns are employed by Japanese SMEs to receive training to upgrade their skills. However, majority of past studies focus on the negative aspects of Japanese Foreign Technical Internship Program. Our study shows a practical implication that proper usage of this program is a powerful engine for SMEs. In addition, these interns are valuable assets because they might help Japanese SMEs’ overseas production in their home countries.","PeriodicalId":246224,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the International Council for Small Business","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121074407","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}

Utilizing a sample of 164 UK social enterprises, this study found that relative to grant dependency, trade dependency has a more substantial positive direct effect on social performance. However, it has a more substantial positive indirect effect via learning orientation on economic and social performances. Therefore, this study concludes that social enterprise managers should prefer trade dependency to grant dependency to improve social performance. Nevertheless, they must promote and enhance learning culture and values (i.e., learning orientation) to concurrently improve, or at least not to deteriorate, their social enterprises’ economic performance. The findings of this study are crucial for policymakers as well to develop and implement policies and programs to support social enterprises.","PeriodicalId":246224,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the International Council for Small Business","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117126114","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}

Results stem from a conclusive data triangulation of primary (interviews and perceptions from several company visits) and secondary data (for example, analysis of the corporate website and additional company data) of a small family-owned nursery and are discussed under aspects of stewardship theory, which has three forms of expression (stewardship over continuity, employees, and customers) in family businesses. In detail, we illustrate how risks could be managed and risk management could be designed in a small family business. Furthermore, we point out the central role of the owner-manager and the corporate family in risk management. Results also highlight the relevance of informal and less-formalized risk management, which has been largely neglected so far within accounting literature.","PeriodicalId":246224,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the International Council for Small Business","volume":"191 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134399682","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}

Select successful ones have sold their businesses to a big company for growth. While it is a sound strategy from an operational standpoint, this strategy’s potential tradeoffs from the branding perspective received less attention. This study examined the effects of two management decisions related to acquisitions (founder involvement and operational independence) on the customer expectations toward products, which in turn was expected to influence purchase intentions. Also examined was the moderating effect of perceived fit between the acquired and acquiring companies. An online survey was conducted with 255 participants recruited on Amazon Mechanical Turk. This study employed a scenario-based approach in which the participants read a mock newspaper article about a large retail company’s acquisition of a digital fashion startup. The results showed that operational independence, rather than founder involvement, plays a key role in positively influencing the customer expectations toward post-acquisition product offerings. Perceived fit weakened the positive effect of operational independence on product expectations. Academic and practical implications are offered.","PeriodicalId":246224,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the International Council for Small Business","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126526986","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}
