They play an essential role in national economies due to their contributions to employment, human capital development, knowledge spillovers, and social mobility in maintaining diverse entrepreneurial ecosystems. Government support policies (GSP), both financial and nonfinancial, can directly impact SME performance or indirectly by developing an entrepreneurial orientation (EO). Few studies have investigated the important question of how GSP simultaneously may impact both the EO and the performance of an SME. Thus, this paper aims to identify the current understanding of how different forms of GSPs relate to and impact the EO and the performance of SMEs. A systematic literature review was conducted using the PRISMA methodology to synthesize this understanding, resulting in 65 relevant articles from the ABI/INFORM, ScienceDirect, Scopus and Web of Science databases. The relationships between the constructs were analyzed using thematic and semantic analyses, employing computer-assisted data analysis software (NVivo 12 and Leximancer 4.5). This resulted in the categorization of GSPs as direct and indirect support policies, with financial and nonfinancial-subcategories, and depicted their pathways of influence on SMEs’ EO and performance. The study found that GSPs have four different pathways by which they can impact performance. Both direct and indirect policies have moderating effects that can magnify the impact of EO on performance. The review established that the direct effect of GSP on EO varies by sector, SME growth-intention, and type of GSP. Based on the findings, we recommend policymakers develop support policies tailored to SMEs’ specific sector and its intentions to enhance performance.","PeriodicalId":48058,"journal":{"name":"International Entrepreneurship and Management Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":5.6,"publicationDate":"2024-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141511750","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Semi-structured interviews with MENA-based entrepreneurs have provided in-depth insights into the dynamics of the digital entrepreneurial ecosystem, and the perceived impact of technology on their ventures. Subsequently, a quantitative survey has been administered to eighty respondents, and the data is analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM), with Partial Least Squares (PLS) path modeling. The findings from both methodologies are expected to illuminate the positive influence of technological advancements and collaborative networks on digital entrepreneurship within the MENA region. Gaining an understanding of these factors can guide policymakers in fostering innovation in ecosystems and stockholder investments that support collaborative digital ventures in the MENA region.","PeriodicalId":48058,"journal":{"name":"International Entrepreneurship and Management Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":5.6,"publicationDate":"2024-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141511751","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Environmental innovation, as the core of green entrepreneurship, has been widely recognized in the literature for its significant role in combating climate change; however, the different factors that encourage companies to embrace environmental innovations are still under investigation. The main objective of this study was to determine how top management commitment influences, both directly and indirectly, green entrepreneurship, proxied by environmental innovation, and its outcomes. This study was conducted in the Spanish wine sector, which has been relatively unexplored to date. We developed a Structural Equation Model (SEM) to test the proposed hypotheses. Our results reveal that the demand for sustainable products, regulation, and top management environmental commitment positively influence environmental innovation. Secondly, we found that investment in such innovations allows companies to simultaneously achieve higher financial and environmental returns. Furthermore, we confirmed that top management’s environmental commitment influences both the company’s perception of the importance of stakeholder demands and the relationship between environmental innovation and performance. These findings have significant implications for the environmental management and political regulation literature, particularly within the specific context of the wine sector.","PeriodicalId":48058,"journal":{"name":"International Entrepreneurship and Management Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":5.6,"publicationDate":"2024-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141511753","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The purpose of this article is to detect variables relevant to predicting the success of an accelerator. To that end, a questionnaire of 87 questions was designed and distributed to all accelerators present in Spain at the end of 2022. In the first instance, an index is proposed to measure the success of accelerators using the statistic tool Principal Component Analysis. The index includes information such as the percentage of projects that have achieved the objectives set during the programme, the percentage of projects that continue their activity or the percentage that have received public/private funding. In this paper, through a multivariate lineal regression analysis, we identify the elements in an accelerator which contribute to its success, measured by the index obtained initially. The key factors that contribute to the success of accelerators are Profit making entity, Number of calls and Training seminar. This work offers suggestions for future research to explore the potential of business accelerators. From a practical perspective, the article provides managers of accelerators a guide to design and improve programs according to their goals.","PeriodicalId":48058,"journal":{"name":"International Entrepreneurship and Management Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":5.6,"publicationDate":"2024-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141511752","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The focus is on the level of e-health literacy among the elderly population, the factors that influence it, the relevance of innovative digital health projects, the usability of digital tools, organizational models, and implications for the national health system. The study employed a research methodology consisting of two phases. A review of journal articles was conducted, followed by a longitudinal analysis of a case study of a project (TS4.0) launched by the Trentino Region. The study emphasises the need for training programmes on key IT and health technologies for underserved groups to improve the adoption of eHealth technologies by patients. Specific actions to achieve this goal are proposed, with emphasis on the crucial role of public institutions. For hospitals to fully embrace technology and become digital, healthcare facilities must undergo a business and managerial transformation that involves the use of technology. This case study highlights the importance of supporting healthcare start-ups to comprehensively improve healthcare. Although this study is limited to a single case, the results may be useful for further research in identifying other factors that enable or hinder the adoption of digitalisation in the healthcare sector.","PeriodicalId":48058,"journal":{"name":"International Entrepreneurship and Management Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":5.6,"publicationDate":"2024-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141193096","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Moreover, risk-taking tolerance is used as a moderator between organizational resilience and innovation performance. The Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) technique was used to analyze the results. A simple random sampling technique was used to collect data from respondents. A total of 437 questionnaires were collected from the Pakistani automotive industry and used for final analysis. The finding reveals that industrial IoT and RBMI positively relate to organizational resilience and innovation performance. In contrast, BTU does not influence innovation performance but positively influences organizational resilience. Organizational resilience positively related to innovation performance. Organizational resilience significantly mediates between BTU, industrial IoT, RBMI, and innovation performance. Finally, risk-taking tolerance strengthens the relationship between organizational resilience and innovation performance. This research focuses on how management utilizes BTU, industrial IoT, RBMI, organizational resilience, and risk-taking tolerance in decision-making to examine innovation performance. This research initially develops a research model to incorporate BTU, industrial IoT, RBMI, organizational resilience, risk-taking tolerance, and innovation performance in RBV perspectives. Academicians, practitioners, and management can benefit from study results.","PeriodicalId":48058,"journal":{"name":"International Entrepreneurship and Management Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":5.6,"publicationDate":"2024-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141193095","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
