But cultivating an EE is hard work, especially in places that are underresourced or typically not associated with entrepreneurship and innovation. This can leave motivated communities and their constituents overwhelmed about how and where to begin this lofty endeavor. This article suggests one starting point: creating an entrepreneurial ecosystem map. Uniquely fusing together extensive research on entrepreneurial ecosystems and cartography, this article examines the main elements of an EE and the basics of mapmaking before presenting an eight-step process for mapping an entrepreneurial ecosystem. Beyond articulating a basic process and key considerations for generating an EE map, this article suggests ecosystem maps can create value for a range of actors within and beyond the focal ecosystem and can serve several important roles in developing a community’s EE, aside from pointing entrepreneurs to needed resources. Further, I argue that the exercise of ecosystem mapping is just as—if not more—important than any maps it produces.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48347,"journal":{"name":"Business Horizons","volume":"68 1","pages":"Pages 55-66"},"PeriodicalIF":5.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139031712","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, after the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, almost all foreign business operations within Ukraine were suspended; currently, businesses of every sort are in the process of resuming in the face of numerous challenges, including an unstable security situation, damaged infrastructure, disrupted supply chains, and highly unpredictable business conditions. The Ukrainian government lacks the strategic initiatives needed to substantially attract foreign business operations. The primary objective of this article is to examine Ukrainian legislation about foreign business endeavors, particularly focusing on the nuances of investment activities while also investigating the repercussions of military operations on foreign businesses. This article proposes the concept of e-residency as a means to entice foreigners into engaging in business activities within Ukraine, and explores other strategies aimed at attracting individuals from other countries to invest and participate in Ukraine’s business landscape.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48347,"journal":{"name":"Business Horizons","volume":"68 1","pages":"Pages 67-81"},"PeriodicalIF":5.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139584269","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study raises awareness about share pledging for uninitiated foreign institutional investors (FIIs) looking to invest in developing economies. The study highlights the conditions, including motivation to pledge, degree of ownership, and quantum of pledge, under which share pledging may be appropriate and when it may benefit the FIIs. We distinguish between pledging under different conditions and the implications arising under the outlined scenarios for FIIs. Our analysis provides potential investors with a comprehensive overview of pledging and of its possible consequences for the firm. The study urges investors to take a more nuanced view of pledging rather than painting all of it with the same negative stroke.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48347,"journal":{"name":"Business Horizons","volume":"68 1","pages":"Pages 95-108"},"PeriodicalIF":5.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139953382","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}

Recently, virtual meetings have become a more prominent feature of employees’ work lives, and scholarly attention to the changing nature of work-meeting dynamics has increased in tandem. Unsurprisingly, these circumstances have increased the number of meetings individuals participate in and the number of mediums through which these meetings occur. In this article, we introduce the meeting load paradox: increased meetings allow employees to better contribute to their organizations while consuming more of their personal resources. As such, an increased meeting load is only effective up to a certain threshold. To demonstrate this empirically, we conducted a field study with 199 full-time employees, providing initial evidence of one manifestation of the meeting load paradox (i.e., meeting participation, engagement, and creative performance increase as meeting load increases curvilinearly, creating an inverted U-shape effect). We find that a virtual medium increases the curvilinear effect while employee conscientiousness flattens the curvilinear effect. We discuss the important implications of these findings and ways employees and managers can navigate the meeting load paradox to thrive amid the proliferation of workplace meetings.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48347,"journal":{"name":"Business Horizons","volume":"68 1","pages":"Pages 33-43"},"PeriodicalIF":5.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135656144","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}

This may be inevitable due to the increasing volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity of our modern world. Many organizations routinely use project structures to develop new products, enter new markets, or upgrade IT systems, for example. A project is a set of tasks aimed at achieving a specific outcome, and a project structure is a temporary structure within which the tasks are performed. Projectification is a process of change whereby organizations increasingly adopt a project way of work. Hence, a projectified organization becomes a hybrid of temporary structures managed as projects and permanent structures managed as functions or departments. Projectification has many downsides, some of which stem from increased organizational complexity. Still, projectification fosters innovation and change, making it a necessary feature in many modern organizations. Ideally, projectification should be done gradually, and it requires significant changes throughout the organization. In this article, we present seven recommendations for senior managers in projectifying organizations.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48347,"journal":{"name":"Business Horizons","volume":"68 1","pages":"Pages 21-32"},"PeriodicalIF":5.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135760850","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}
