기업가적 지향성과 경영성과 간 관계: 기업 수명주기 단계별 차이 분석

This study empirically analyzes the impact of the managerial environment, CEO's vision and strategy, and organizational management system on entrepreneurial orientation in domestic companies, as well as the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation and business performance. Additionally, it examines how these relationships differ across various stages of the corporate life cycle. The analysis utilizes data from the 2022 Entrepreneurial Activity Survey (Company Edition) conducted by the Korea Youth Entrepreneurship Foundation, designated as official statistics by Statistics Korea, which surveyed 3,120 companies. The results of the empirical analysis are as follows First, business environment, vision and strategy are significantly positively related to entrepreneurial orientation. In terms of firm life cycle, we find that firms in the start-up phase are slightly more sensitive to the business environment, while vision and strategy are important regardless of firm life cycle. Second, the operating system of the firm does not have a statistically significant effect on entrepreneurial orientation, and the hypothesis is rejected. It seems that it is important to have an operating system in place from the start-up stage in terms of the business life cycle. Third, a significant positive relationship was found between entrepreneurial orientation and managerial performance, and entrepreneurial orientation had a positive impact on managerial performance regardless of the firm's life cycle. The results of this study expand the factors influencing entrepreneurial orientation and provide theoretical and policy insights by analyzing the corporate life cycle, which is rarely addressed in the field of entrepreneurship, by distinguishing between the startup phase and other phases.

기업가지향성이 비즈니스 프로세스 혁신을 통해 혁신성과에 미치는 영향

The manufacturing sector in Korea had a more severe fall in labor productivity during the global financial crisis than most OECD countries. As a result, the manufacturing sector in Korea is in danger of becoming less competitive. Additionally, due to the Fourth Industrial Revolution and the advancement of intelligent technology, several forms of corporate innovation are becoming more significant. The assessment is that, in light of the alterations in the external milieu and the circumstances confronting the Korean manufacturing sector, domestic manufacturing enterprises must fortify their entrepreneurial orientation and enhance their capacity for innovation to augment the efficacy of their innovation endeavors. As a result, this study looked at the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation and product innovation and considered business process innovation as a multifaceted innovation skill. This study's empirical testing used the Science and Technology Policy Institute's 2020 Korean Innovation Survey data on manufacturing industries. It was discovered that, as a result of business process innovation, entrepreneurial attitude positively impacted product innovation. Furthermore, incremental product innovation was positively impacted by entrepreneurial attitude, whereas radical product innovation was negatively impacted.

기업가적 리더십이 업무성과에 미치는 영향: 기회활용의 매개효과 및 진취적 풍토의 조절된 매개효과

Entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial orientation are important factors in organizational success and growth. Previous research on entrepreneurship has focused on organizational and strategic factors. However, there has been a lack of analysis on the efficacy of entrepreneurship, particularly on entrepreneurship from an organizational behavior perspective. Thus, this study examined the efficacy of entrepreneurial leadership at the individual level. We further analyzed the effects of entrepreneurial leadership on employee job performance. Specifically, this study tested the mediating effect of opportunity exploitation in the above relationship. In addition, we explored the moderating and moderated mediating effects of a proactive climate in those relationships. Based on survey data collected from 445 employees working for Korean firms, we tested direct, mediating, and moderating effects using hierarchical regression analysis. In addition, using the Hayes (2013) PROCESS macro, the moderated mediated effect of a proactive climate was analyzed. The results of the empirical analysis showed that entrepreneurial leadership was positively related to job performance. We also found that opportunity exploitation positively mediated the relationship between entrepreneurial leadership and job performance. While there was a positive moderating effect from a proactive climate on the relationship between opportunity exploitation and job performance, the moderated mediating role of the proactive climate was also proven. These findings highlight the pivotal role of entrepreneurial leadership in enhancing job performance. In particular, uncovering the mediating role of opportunity exploitation and the moderated mediating role of a proactive climate can provide theoretical and practical implications to managers who want to increase the positive impacts of entrepreneurial leadership in the organization.

Entrepreneurial archetypes: Spiritual well-being as a catalyst for humane entrepreneurship and performance

ABSTRACT Entrepreneurial firms significantly impact economies; nevertheless, they face high failure rates. While factors like market assessment and management skills are known to influence entrepreneurial success, intrinsic factors such as spirituality have been less explored. This study examines whether spirituality, through the lens of spiritual well-being (SWB), can enhance entrepreneurial performance (EP) by analyzing different archetypes of entrepreneurs. Three archetypes have been identified that show the relevance of SWB in EP: task-oriented, heropreneurs, and holistic entrepreneurs, each showing varying degrees of success in economic and noneconomic aspects. Findings suggest SWB is critical in enhancing EP by promoting a balanced life, effective stress management, and stronger interpersonal connections. Furthermore, humane entrepreneurial orientation has been identified as a comprehensive entrepreneurial behavioral theory that intertwines SWB and EP. Integrating spiritual values into entrepreneurial ecosystems can significantly aid in overcoming challenges and ensuring long-term success.

Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and Entrepreneurship Development in Nigeria

The purpose of this study was to investigate how information and communication technology (ICT) contributes to the growth of entrepreneurship in Nigeria. When it comes to the broad acceptance of social media and digital apps, ICT plays a crucial role in the day-to-day operations of entrepreneurial endeavours. A desk research strategy was used, and literature on the effects of ICT on the growth of entrepreneurship was examined. According to the report, there is a plethora of potential for youth empowerment, employability, and general employment when ICT is applied to business growth. A lack of proper entrepreneurship orientation, inconsistent power supplies, inadequate ICT infrastructure, a lack of skilled technicians and technologists, poor access to financing, and poor marketing abilities were among the difficult factors that the study also uncovered. These were obstacles that any aspiring business owner had to overcome to ensure the sustainability of an existing venture. The report suggested, among other things, that given the critical role that ICT plays in the creation of entrepreneurial possibilities, the government and other stakeholders should create an environment that is supportive of the development of ICT infrastructure to support the growth of entrepreneurship. Furthermore, training facilities in ICT should be provided by relevant government agencies and networth stakeholders to increase the efficiency of the country’s entrepreneurs, enabling them to acquire relevant technical and technological skills needed to expand output, maintain existing customers, gain access to wider markets, and improve their entrepreneurial activities generally, particularly in terms of the development of new products for solving societal problems in the country.

Investigating the moderating role of technology turbulence and innovation capabilities in servant leadership, knowledge management and frugal innovation

Purpose This research aims to investigate the impact of servant leadership on knowledge management and its subsequent connection to cost-saving innovation. The study further explored these relationships by examining the mediating roles of innovation capabilities and technological volatility. Design/methodology/approach The research is applied in purpose and employs a descriptive-survey method for data collection. It follows a qualitative-quantitative approach, utilizing expert interviews in the qualitative phase. The sample consists of 35 managers and expert professors with knowledge management experience in universities and high-tech industries, selected through the snowball method.

Originality/value While this research provides a comprehensive model, it acknowledges specific limitations that warrant further investigation. The study predominantly focused on Iranian organizations, suggesting an opportunity to broaden its scope to include diverse organizational perspectives from various cultural and geographical contexts. Moreover, a promising avenue for future research involves exploring entrepreneurial orientation as a potential mediating variable. Given its significant impact on organizational dynamics, introducing entrepreneurial orientation could enhance our understanding of its effects on both knowledge management and the promotion of frugal innovation. This expansion may illuminate the intricate interplay between entrepreneurial orientation, knowledge processes and innovative practices, contributing to a more sophisticated discussion on effective organizational strategies.

The relationship of university entrepreneurial orientation, academic innovation performance, and accreditation as moderation

This study investigates the empirical relationship between university entrepreneurial orientation (U-EO), accreditation, and academic innovation performance based on the concept of an entrepreneurial university. The purpose of this study is to determine whether academic innovation performance and U-EO are positively correlated, as well as whether accreditation can enhance this relationship. 489 Indonesian university departments participated in this study, which was conducted via random selection. The ENTRE-U scale is used for measuring U-EO, and the number of publications, patents, and spin-offs that lecturers produce is used to measure academic innovation performance. Hierarchical regression and econometric methods are used to test variable relationships. The results of this study show a positive correlation between academic innovation performance and U-EO. The performance of the department in generating publications, patents, and spin-offs can be improved by raising the U-EO. The positive correlation between academic innovation success and U-EO can be reinforced by accreditation. This study has implications for departments and universities seeking to maximize academic innovation performance through publications, patents, and spin-offs. This research adds insight into the entrepreneurial orientation of non-profit organizations, which still needs to be researched, there are universities, and strategies for improving their academic innovation performance as university entrepreneurial.

The Analysis of Sustainable Firm Performance in Textiles SMEs in Bogor, Indonesia

Green supply chain management (GSCM) is an environmentally friendly initiative for all stages of the product life cycle, from product design to handling when the product life cycle ends. This research aims to determine the impact of green entrepreneurial orientation, market orientation, and green supply chain management practices on sustainable firm performance. The sample used was textile SMEs in Bogor Regency, with 62 respondents.

The study shows that green entrepreneurial orientation does not affect green supply chain management practices. Market orientation influences green supply chain management practices. Green supply chain management practices influence sustainable firm performance. Green supply chain management practices do not mediate the relationship between green entrepreneurial orientation and sustainable firm performance but do mediate the relationship between market orientation and sustainable firm performance.

Navigating gendered spaces: a feminist phenomenological exploration of women entrepreneurs lived experiences within government support agencies

PurposeThis article explores women entrepreneurs' lived experiences in their interactions with government enterprise support agencies. It investigates the relationship between gendering and Entrepreneurial Orientation (EO), as a normative orientation adopted at the institutional level and justified by an economic rationale. It also explores how women entrepreneurs articulate their experiences through embodied metaphors and image schemas, shedding light on how they navigate the institutional entrepreneurial space.Design/methodology/approachThis study is framed within the concept of Phenomenological Orientation as conceptualised in feminist phenomenology. It applies Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis, a qualitative methodology focused on interpreting accounts of first-person lived experiences of a phenomenon. It combines IPA with Conceptual Metaphor Theory to understand women's articulation of their embodied relationship within the entrepreneurial space.FindingsFindings reveal that the entrepreneurial orientation functions as a gendering process within entrepreneurial institutions, reinforcing masculine hegemonic ideals and marginalising women entrepreneurs. Women's phenomenological orientations often diverge from the normative entrepreneurial orientation, highlighting the need for a more inclusive framework in institutional entrepreneurial spaces.Research limitations/implicationsThis article contributes to women's entrepreneurship literature by underlining the temporal dimension of entrepreneurship and the tension that underpins their interactions with government support bodies. It calls for inclusive policies and procedures to match the heterogeneity of orientations. While highlighting its limitations, it also suggests future research directions to deepen the understanding of entrepreneurship and inform more suitable support structures for all entrepreneurs.Originality/valueThis study contributes to the literature by shedding light on the nuanced interplay between gendering, entrepreneurial orientation, and women entrepreneurs' lived experiences. It extends previous research by framing “orientation” within a temporality framework, offering a novel perspective on the gendering of entrepreneurial spaces.

Seeing the whole: Configurational cognition and new venture resource mobilization

AbstractResearch SummaryResearch is scant on how multiple venture attributes combine as “whole packages” of signals (or cognitive configurations) in resource holders’ eyes, shaping a venture's ability to mobilize resources. Drawing on a qualitative comparative analysis of 1,395 crowdfunding campaigns, we identified different configurations of signals for high and low resource mobilization, theorizing abductively their underlying mechanisms through the analysis of case‐level qualitative data. Our results explain some past mixed findings, such as the contradictory effects of social value and entrepreneurial narratives, showing that these narratives can instead be successfully combined in the presence of signals of venture quality and community embeddedness. We show that there is no single best way to impress resource holders, but multiple recipes to holistically communicate a venture's value.Managerial SummaryAnalyzing Kickstarter crowdfunding campaigns, we examine how entrepreneurs combine four signals to raise money: 1) the venture's underlying quality; 2) social networks; 3) narratives; 4) embeddedness in the crowdfunding community. We identified four successful configurations of these signals (500% above the funding goal) and two failing configurations (4% of the funding goal). Narratives per se are not sufficient to mobilize resources, unless backed by signals of quality and community embeddedness. A simpler narrative is supported by cheaper quality signals (product images). More complex narratives (combining social value, entrepreneurial orientation, positive psychology) are supported by more costly signals (videos). Our results encourage entrepreneurs to look beyond “silver bullet” solutions and think holistically how to communicate their ventures as “whole packages”.

Sustainable Entrepreneurial Orientation (SEO), and Organizational Performance: A Gender-Moderated Perspective in Peru

Sustainable Entrepreneurial Orientation (SEO) is an emergent concept and a complex dynamic capability that could explain the behavioral predisposition of individuals and organizations to contribute to sustainable development. This study examined the impact of decision-makers' SEO on the organizational performance of their companies. In addition, the study evaluated the moderating role of gender in the relationship between SEO and performance. The approach of the study was explanatory and non-experimental. It used a PLS-SEM technique on a sample of 121 decision-makers of micro and small enterprises operating in different sectors in Peru, a highly entrepreneurial country in Latin America. After validating the SEO measurement from the individual perspective, the results showed that SEO does affect performance. However, the moderating role of gender on the SEO-performance relationship was not empirically validated. This study contributes to the literature on sustainable entrepreneurship by confirming that the phenomenon of SEO, typically assessed at the organizational level, is also an important antecedent of organizational performance when viewed from the individual perspective. Although the moderating effect of gender was not proven, this study provides insightful directions on the SEO-performance relationship. Thus, by validating the SEO instrument that considers its components from an individual perspective, the literature on this strategic orientation has been expanded.
