Entrepreneurship became the ideal alternative for young people to provide them with job opportunities in light of weak economies suffering from high unemployment rates. Therefore, the current study seeks to explore the moderating effect of entrepreneurial skills on the relationship between self-efficacy and entrepreneurial intention among young people. Especially that entrepreneurial intention is considered a significant indicator and an essential step towards the involvement of young people in entrepreneurial work. In total, 558 students from 4 business schools in Jordan have completed an online questionnaire. The author tested the study hypotheses through the structural equation modelling technique by using SmartPLS version 4 software. The study results revealed that self-efficacy and entrepreneurial skills positively affect entrepreneurial intention. In addition, the study results demonstrated that entrepreneurial skills have a positive moderating effect on the relationship between self-efficacy and entrepreneurial intention. Based on the study findings, the author provided some practical implications for policymakers to stimulate entrepreneurial activity.

The government had circumscribed all the economic activities due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Consequently, this had a major impact on the self-employed. Using a structured questionnaire, this study intends to explore how self-employed people are rescued from detrimental situations. This is to assess the early impact of COVID-19 on self-employed people and their working hours. Most of these economic ventures operate on the borders between the formal and informal sectors. Those working in these sectors have generally been excluded from the discussion about the economic impact of this pandemic. This present study emphasised the after-effects of COVID-19 and how the self-employed community was rescued with or without government aid.

Micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) are considered as a growing sector of the country due to their huge growth potential and possible social or economic effect, especially on employment and revenue generation. Existent globalised competition compels companies to constantly look for methods to improve their products and services. Without continuous innovation, manufacturing companies cannot remain competitive. Innovation represents the keyways the organisation responds to technical or market-related challenges. All manufacturers are currently trying to implement Multicriteria Decision-Making (MCDM) techniques such as Analytic Hierarchy Process, Piecewise Affine and fuzzy models, along with technology innovation initiatives (TIIs) for enhancing their production performance. In the current study, an attempt is made to assess the synergy fit of TIIs for MSMEs in India. The study considers metrics related to these initiatives, such as product performance and sales performance. In addition, these procedures use the MATLAB Fuzzy Logic Toolbox for the analysis of a Simulink block for designing and simulating the data set.

The present environmental complexity resulting from technological advancements has made it critical for firms to promote innovation in their activities, products, services and outputs. Innovation is a solution to everyday management problems to successfully adapt to workplace challenges and unanticipated occurrences, the invention of new ideas to improve the workflow and the advancement of novel products and services. However, for a firm to be innovative, it is essential to be led by an entrepreneurial lead. Therefore, we aim to examine the impact of entrepreneurial leader(ship) (EL) on employees’ innovative work behaviour (IWB) with moderating role of Islamic Work Ethics (IWE), with a theoretical lens of Social Cognition and Resource-Based view. To achieve these objectives a self-administered survey questionnaire was circulated among managers, owners and employees of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Islamabad. The Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) model was applied for hypotheses testing. The results of SEM demonstrate that EL significantly influences the IWB of employees in SMEs. Similarly, IWE also shows a significant effect on the employees’ IWB. However, an insignificant effect for IWE as a moderator between EL and IWB is observed. Overall, the findings of this research contribute to the existing body of knowledge by conceptualising a theoretical and practical model of entrepreneurial leadership predicting employees’ IWB in SMEs.

An integrated framework for the internationalisation process of halal meat manufacturing small and medium enterprises (SMEs) from a small-sized Muslim country (SSMC) hardly exists, despite the importance of internationalisation for firm performance and economic growth. The main aim of this study is to propose a framework for the role of traditional versus born-global theories in explaining the internationalisation process of halal meat SMEs from SSMCs. Specific weightage is given to the importance of small-sized country factors and halal food industry factors in influencing internationalisation. On the basis of a critical literature review, we develop the following novel propositions. First, halal meat SMEs are more likely experiencing the fast born-global model of inward internationalisation by importing raw meat from large-sized countries, due to the shortage of skilled manual labour in their home country needed to produce halal meat at competitive prices. Second, the psychic distance is less relevant for the inward internationalisation of halal meat SMEs from SSMCs to large-sized foreign countries, because large countries have labour and economies of scale advantages for producing halal meat. Third, halal food SMEs are more likely to experience the slow/incremental Uppsala model of outward internationalisation because of the requirement for obtaining halal certification both at home and from host countries, which require time. Fourth, the psychic distance is more relevant for outward internationalisation because halal meat SMEs from SSMCs are more likely to export to Muslim countries. Finally, inward internationalisation precedes outward internationalisation for halal meat SMEs from SSMCs. Implications are drawn for theory, future research and policy/practice.

This article assesses how knowledge diffusion modulates the effect of the mobile phone on entrepreneurship or doing business in sub-Saharan Africa. The empirical evidence is based on Generalised Method of Moments in which mobile phones are interacted with three knowledge diffusion variables, namely, education, internet penetration and scientific output. Ten variables of entrepreneurship are used. The following three main findings are established. First, the net effects from interacting mobile phones with the internet and scientific publications are negative, whereas the corresponding net impact from the interaction between mobile phones and education is positive on the cost of doing business. Second, the mobile phone interacts with education (the internet) to have a positive (negative) net effect on the time needed to construct a warehouse whereas, the corresponding interaction with the internet yields a net negative effect on the time to enforce a contract. Third, there is a positive net effect from the interaction of mobile phones with education on the time to start a business. Given the construction of the education variable, the positive net effects from education are consistent with corresponding negative net effects from the other knowledge diffusion variables.

This article focuses on the identity construction of Pakistani female entrepreneurs as an interplay of religion, culture and entrepreneurial context. We contribute to theory development on how in a Pakistani context the Islamic values and Pakistani cultural values shape the entrepreneurial identity of the women entrepreneurs through an intersectional analysis. We draw on five in-depth interviews of women entrepreneurs to illustrate how the women entrepreneurs execute their ventures and carry their entrepreneurial identity while carrying a blend of Islamic values and Pakistani cultural values. Pakistani women entrepreneurs employ the Islamic norms and values that are particularly practised by the family as a boundary, however, the cultural norms sometimes overweight the Islamic values in construction of identity. There is an evidence for negotiating process that acts as an enabler to make space for individualism, honour and entrepreneurship. In order to resist the rigid cultural interpretation of behavioural norms, various cultural, religious and familial identities are crafted to expand the boundaries of what is allowed. This enables them to bank on the Islamic values that enable them to be economically active without violating religious boundaries. Our study contributes to studies on entrepreneurship by showing how these female entrepreneurs gain agency at the crossroads of gender country context and religion.

In pursuing entrepreneurial venture growth, domestic market expansion strategies such as product development, innovation, and diversification need to be reinforced by looking at international opportunities. We establish the power of external participation, composed of the foreign customer and export orientations, in driving entrepreneurial venture growth. By subjecting the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor data for the Philippines, for the years 2013, 2014, and 2015, to a linear generalised method of moments regression analysis, we found evidence that external participation is a significant in ensuing entrepreneurial venture growth. Our emergent empirical findings are as follows: entrepreneurial strategies on external participation are positively and highly statistically significant in positively making a difference on entrepreneurial venture growth; and export orientation can significantly drive entrepreneurial venture growth. Hence, we recommended policies and strategies that will capacitate Philippine enterprises to produce internationally oriented products and allow them to increase their external participation through enhanced access to global markets and value chains.
