However, the average life expectancy of Chinese SMEs is only 3.7 years with more than half of the SMEs failing to survive beyond their first five years. And in 2020, the outbreak of COVID-19 has further aggravated the pressure among SMEs to survive. As a result of this pandemic, many Chinese SMEs struggled with their risk management approaches. Some had to lay off employees, cut salaries and even suspend operations in exchange for a chance of survival. The ongoing pandemic has raised many questions about the risk management strategies and the resilience of SMEs. Some researchers even questioned the effectiveness of some of these risk-management strategies. There is now a crucial need to understand the importance of effective risk management strategies so as to attain a competitive advantage in an unpredictable market. However, there are very limited studies that shed light on the risk management of Chinese SMEs, especially in the high-tech market and in the complex times of COVID-19. How do successful Chinese SMEs sustain and survive in such competition in the high-tech market? What strategies do they apply to manage risks and how effective are these strategies? How do they respond to changes in the market to retain and drive their organizational sustainability and survival? This paper explores some of these gaps by using case studies of 10 successful SMEs from the Chinese High-tech market. Using interviews with the founder-entrepreneurs from these SMEs, the paper discusses how these SMEs approach different risk management strategies including that of COVID-19. The paper will also explore the crucial role played by the founder-entrepreneurs in the decision-making process of risk management.","PeriodicalId":262712,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the European Conference on Innovation and Entrepreneurship 2021","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121808850","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 open-farm industry in Ireland is a niche that faces many regulatory, organisational and economic challenges. This case study presents an overview of the challenges and potential for this growing market. Challenges include;rising insurance costs (33% increase) and dealing with (50% reduction in revenue in 2020) and recovering from the economic impact of COVID-19 restrictions. Leahy’s have been able to develop the business by adding new revenue streams, nurturing employee skills, harnessing their competency base and consistently applying an organisational learning mind-set. A firm innovation capability perspective is employed as a theoretical lens to analyse Leahy’s strategic intent, use of resources, processes and mind-set that enable them to develop the business. Primary and secondary data collection methods were employed. Semi-structured interviews with Leahy’s open farm leadership and staff as well as ethnographic observations. A literature review of open-farm publications and interviews with an Irish state agency in agriculture, horticulture and food was conducted to develop an overview of the open-farm industry in Ireland. A key finding from this study is the observation that the open farm industry in Ireland is not regulated or supported by a state body and falls between two government departments (Agriculture & Tourism). In the UK however, the National Farm Attraction Network (NFAN) provides supports and collects data on open farms. NFAN have been helpful to Leahy’s in the absence of an Irish network. This lack of support is likely to result in an inconsistent approach being taken by open farms in Ireland, and results in an un-coordinated approach to managing and promoting the market. A roadmap for open farms (Figure 1: Roadmap for Open Farms in Ireland post COVID-19 Economic Crisis) has been suggested to aid these businesses to strategically plan for the future. Leahy’s are an example of an open-farm that has consistently sought to be a leader in this marketplace and has demonstrated an admirable capacity to innovate through fostering an open and innovative environment. This case study demonstrates how firm innovation capabilities can be applied to analyse the innovation capacity of small family businesses and sets an agenda for increased research and development for the open-farm industry in Ireland. © 2021, Academic Conferences and Publishing International Limited.

Muller","doi":"10.34190/eie.21.093","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.34190/eie.21.093","url":null,"abstract":"Generation Z is currently entering the labour market. Even though we are in a period affected by the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, employer brand is still a topical theme. Therefore, especially in critical periods of time, businesses need quality human resources to help them manage this critical situation. Young employees belonging to Generation Z can come up with new approaches and innovations that may help businesses survive unforeseen situations that the current economic situation may bring about, both now and in the future. Especially in the context of many companies needing to come up with new online sales tools and technical equipment upgrades due to the pandemic, along with restrictive government measures, recruiting from a generation characterized by their commitment to modern technology is an important part of their future strategy. The aim of this paper is to compare the expectations of Generation Z on the labour market and their approach to searching for job positions with the approach of employers recruiting Generation Z, based on how they work with their brand and their use of social media. This paper is based on the results of pre-research for a dissertation thesis. Online questionnaires with mostly open questions were created to ask Generation Z and entrepreneurs. Extended personnel marketing has been applied to create questions corresponding with thematic analysis. Comparing answers from both groups of participants (Generation Z and entrepreneurs) allows us to suggest a labour market strategy for both. Specifically, we aim to correct key employer shortcomings when communicating with Generation Z where their needs are insufficiently recognized, as well as overcoming distrust in their abilities caused by a lack of experience at the beginning of their careers. Generation Z representatives also need to choose appropriate communication strategies to avoid intergenerational conflicts and they need to know ways to properly integrate into a team that is shaped by different generational values.","PeriodicalId":262712,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the European Conference on Innovation and Entrepreneurship 2021","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128644459","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}

Pavlov","doi":"10.34190/eie.21.049","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.34190/eie.21.049","url":null,"abstract":"The paper considers the examples of economic activities of social enterprises during the COVID-19 pandemic. It is shown that often social enterprises are more effective than common enterprises in their responses to the processes caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. A model of interaction between different actors enhancing the efficiency of social enterprises by means of providing the continuous source of cashflow is provided. At the macro-level of this model it’s necessary to mention such interesting program as Pay for Success which was initiated by B. Obama’s Administration in 2009. Indeed, this program was a way of government support of the social entrepreneurship programs, but only those programs which proved to be successful during the process of their realization. At the meso-level of mechanisms supporting social enterprises we should mention such institutions as the social stock exchange and microfinance institutions. In order to enhance the efficiency of the social stock exchange as a new financial tool for supporting social enterprises one should make some arrangements. First, we should conclude that this instrument should not act as an isolated unit. It should be implemented into the system of different actors supporting social enterprises, along with such potential investors as private sector companies and microfinance institutions. Second, these actors should interact in such manner that enables a cooperation between them. For instance, microfinance institutions should be encouraged to support the social stock exchange. They could do it through providing loans for attracting brokers who could find respectable institutional and strategic investors for the social stock exchange. These loans could be repaid from the profits that brokers could get from selling shares. The system would be enhanced by encouraging private sector companies to act in this process. The private sector companies could acquire shares at the social stock exchange, and they could be encouraged to do so by the policy of tax rate decreasing for those companies, who would invest into the social enterprises.","PeriodicalId":262712,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the European Conference on Innovation and Entrepreneurship 2021","volume":"158 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114169758","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}
