This case focuses on the entrepreneurial use of multi-stakeholder value co-creation to emerge stronger from challenging trading conditions. In particular, it examines Pennine Pubs, a small-/medium-sized enterprise (SME) operating several rural public houses, which are licensed to sell food and alcoholic drinks to guests. Based in Northern England, it has adapted commercial strategies to mitigate government-enforced Covid-19 lockdowns. Pennine Pubs’ Managing Director is currently considering how to build upon the multi-stakeholder value co-creation strategy which emerged quickly immediately before and during the first lockdown period, when customers were prohibited from visiting pubs. He expects the outcome to be a more refined and sustainable commercial strategy which retains the most significant benefits of his lockdown-period innovations. The case considers how co-creation is applied as a reaction to unforeseen business challenges, and how it can underpin proactive strategies to capitalise upon favourable trading conditions. The concept is explored in the context of rapidly evolving, unpredictable and highly problematic constraints upon retail trade, and the ‘new normal’ of customers returning to retail premises, albeit with expectations modified by recent experiences. Finally, the case considers the impact of SMEs collaborating with suppliers, customers and other stakeholders to co-create mutual, commercially sustainable value.

Small and medium-sized manufacturing enterprises, the backbone of the Southeast Asian economy, are struggling to operate and maintain profitable growth in the face of the COVID-19 epidemic. During the recovery process, technological and non-technological innovation is a major factor in enterprise efficiency and profitability. However, it is unclear what drives manufacturing enterprises to innovate in technological and non-technological approaches and how they choose to implement innovation to keep their businesses growing and successful. Therefore, to answer this issue, this research develops and empirically tests a model based on dynamic capabilities and innovative perspectives utilizing World Bank Enterprise Survey data from 789 manufacturing enterprises in Southeast Asian countries. The hierarchical regression model assists create prediction equations to test technological and non-technological innovation as the mediators of structural reconfiguration and innovation investment on firm performance. The results reveal that structural reconfiguration and innovation investment impact technological and non-technological innovation. Additionally, structural addition and investment in formal R&D have a moderated impact on technological innovation. Finally, firm performance may be boosted by organizational innovation.

Accelerators play an essential role in fostering regional development by offering various resources to entrepreneurs and their new ventures. Their services are critical for entrepreneurs in developing countries. However, the majority of the business incubator studies are concentrated on developed economies, while developing countries represent an under-researched domain. Scholars argue that research on accelerators and business incubators, in general, is not theoretical and mainly descriptive. Using the knowledge-based view and resource-based view theories, this study discusses how an accelerator based in Kazakhstan, a developing country in Central Asia, designs its programs. Then looking through the cognitive evaluation theory lens and comparing 13-month longitudinal data, it analyses how program design impacts talent retention. The study adds a theoretical perspective to the non-theoretical domain of accelerators and business incubators by emphasising the role of motivation in the retention of talent. It also theorises about the four main steps involved in the acceleration program design and discusses the critical factors that shape those steps in the context of emerging markets.

Startups have different conditions and characteristics than other companies, so the leader, as one of the main elements of the company, can play an important role in properly training employees and discovering new opportunities and leading the company towards competitiveness. Strengthening intangible assets and increasing entrepreneurial behaviors are essential for the success of companies. A servant leadership style that strengthens employee self-efficacy and entrepreneurial orientation can play an important role in effectively leading startups towards better competitiveness. However, empirical evidence for this relationship is scarce. The present study examines the mediating role of self-efficacy and entrepreneurial orientation in the relationship between servant leadership and competitiveness. Data were collected from a sample of 230 start-up employees. Data analysis was completed through a two-stage partial least squares structural equation modeling technique. At the first stage, the measurement model was examined for construct validity and reliability, whereas at the second stage, the structural model and by implication the research hypotheses were tested. The results show that the relationship between servant leadership and competitiveness is mediated positively and significantly through self-efficacy and entrepreneurial orientation. While the direct impact of servant leadership on competitiveness is not strongly supported.

This study explores the antecedents of alliance failure between incumbents and startups by shedding light on the ex ante conditions that initiated the alliances, the in situ conditions that caused the alliance failures, and the ex post conditions of the outcomes. We conducted a qualitative, multiple case-study analysis of four failed alliances in a northern European context based on interviews with executives from the incumbents, startups, and incubators involved. Our findings indicate that the promise of resource complementarity between incumbents and startups does not warrant the success of strategic alliances. Finally, we explore the implications of our findings and propose how incumbents and startups can collaborate better in future alliances.

There remains a dearth of knowledge on research approaches and methodologies that are well-suited for contexts of violence and fragility, specifically in management research. Well-intentioned researchers often fall into the same traps over and over again, where objectification, silencing of voices, and violence normalization may prevail ( Abdelnour and Abu Moghli, 2021 ), leading to inadvertently causing harm and perpetuating damaging power dynamics and stereotypes. In this piece, I reflect upon my autobiographical research journey and practical experiences to provide concrete examples and recommendations to other fellow scholars that may enable them to enhance the value of research in fragile environments for all those involved, particularly those most in need. I conclude with a simple guideline for research design, data acquisition, and result dissemination, that may serve as a reference and starting point when embarking on such endeavors.

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to 1) examine the influence of firm-level entrepreneurial attitude toward innovation, subjective norms for innovation, and perceived control over innovation on firms’ intention for innovation; 2) study the influence of firms’ intention for innovation on new product development performance; 3) test the effect of new product development performance on firms’ financial performance. Design/methodology/approach: The proposed theoretical model has been analyzed through structural equation modelling using SmartPLS software and structured questionnaires has been distributed among 244 entrepreneurs in Oman. Findings: By empirically testing the antecedents of the firm-level entrepreneurs’ intention with a focus on existing firms (not their intention for new venture creation), it was found that attitudes toward innovation and perceived behavioral control do predict firm-level entrepreneurs’ intention for innovation. The firm-level entrepreneurs’ intention for innovation was also found to positively affect new product development performance. And new product performance was found to enhance financial performance of firms. Practical implications: The findings of this study interject a better understanding of the new product development performance and financial performance which can be achieved by the firm-level entrepreneurial intention for innovation. Entrepreneurs can effectively convey the relative benefit of SME's innovation by emphasizing how the innovation in the firm can help to increase revenue, profitability, boost sales growth, and strengthen the financial health of the SMEs by developing new products for the market. Originality/value: This research contributes to the understanding the relationship between the entrepreneurs’ behavioural characteristics and the firm level entrepreneurial’ intention and how it affects new product development performance and financial performance.

This study puts forward a novel advancement on understanding the underlying mechanisms that expound how human capital can lead to employees” innovative behaviour. Thus, this study intends to examine the nuanced associations between human capital and innovative work behaviour, evoking the mediation of employee engagement and moderation of mental involvement. Utilising a cross sectional research design, a random-sampling technique was used to collect responses from professionals selected from different organizations operating in Jordan. In total, 380 participants completed a questionnaire constructed from well-established measures. AMOS-Structural Equation Modelling was used to examine the measurement and structural models. The results demonstrated that, along with the direct effect, human capital asserts a substantial relevance to individuals” innovative behaviour via the mediation of employee engagement and moderation of mental involvement. To the best of the researcher’s knowledge, this is the first research attempt that views the aforementioned associations through the lens of the attitudinal constructs of employee engagement (mediator) and mental involvement (moderator). Further, this study expands the knowledge base of the cognitive, attitudinal, and behavioural literature by expanding the scope of the JD-R theory aspects to be linked to other psychological dynamics (employee engagement and mental involvement) thought to enhance employees” innovative behaviours.

Despite increased importance of SEs in the global marketplace, limited research in social entrepreneurship addresses internationalization, and fewer from a behavioural perspective. We fill this gap by investigating the SE manager’s behavioural attributes and their influence on the decision of social entrepreneurs to become international social entrepreneurs (ISEs) through an exploratory design using content analysis and interviews. All social entrepreneurs were driven to address social change by a strong social conscience; however, this research finds that ISEs shared an urgent and personal call to action. This sense of urgency developed from transformative experiences that altered their views of the world and their place within it. Domestic social entrepreneurs were motivated primarily by their social conscience, shared background, and the timing of the social enterprise opportunity, factors previously identified in research.
