After being regarded almost exclusively as a research domain over the course of the 20th century, today, the space sector has transformed into a comprehensive economy seeing growth in numbers of new business entities and markets. This transformation has contributed to increasing governmental activities in the space domain worldwide. It motivates new countries to launch their space programmes, develop national space sectors, and establish respective space sector development infrastructure in form of national administration. The nature of this national infrastructure varies from country to country, depending on the national focus as well as industrial and research capabilities. In many emerging space countries, this infrastructure has mostly been concentrated around ministries responsible for economy and entrepreneurship, reflecting the “New Space“ mindset transformation. Despite having already 50-years of space research and development experience and a human spaceflight track record, Slovakia has only recently started to focus on its space-related industry development. Since 2019, the Slovak Investment and Trade Development Agency (working under the Ministry of Economy of the Slovak Republic) has been actively involved in developing Slovakia’s space industry ecosystem. This involvement shifted the country’s space governance settings as well as the general perception of the space sector more towards industry and entrepreneurship. It also helped to increase the number of companies launching space RD projects and engaged in space-related international cooperation. This paper outlines a quantitative and qualitative study of this process, mapping the approaches and tools used by the Slovak public sector in various aspects of the space ecosystem development. Moreover, it also provides an introductory insight into Slovakia’s current space industry capabilities and potential, outlining main prospective areas for cooperation with international partners. This paper also points out the most promising industrial sectors in terms of spinning-in, offering hints where to seek the prospective potential for the space industry development in emerging space countries. The purpose of this paper is to share the experience gathered over the past two years in Slovakia and contribute to the discussion related to government-driven space industry development in the “New Space” era.

Innovative new ventures (INVs) cope with the lack of legitimacy and liability of newness that may hinder their likelihood of survival. Those risks increase with the novelty introduced by the INV. Radically INVs are the ones that have the highest degree of novelty, and, consequently, face the highest risks. Understanding the elements and mechanisms that sustain radically INVs is of paramount importance due to the great benefits they bring to society. This article explores how the regional legacy, defined as the combined effect of regional business and industrial practices and culture, supports those ventures in facing those risks. The regional culture and tradition create a sense of familiarity in stakeholders that facilitates the understanding of the radically INV, lowering the lack of legitimacy. Meanwhile, the shared culture within a region favours the creation of a collaborative climate that allows the radically INVs to access relevant resources and, finally, reduce the liability of newness.

The purpose of this article is to examine the relationship between a firm starting operation informally and its future innovation and whether this relation is moderated by institutional support (having access to finance from financial institutions to run their business). Data from the World Bank Enterprise Survey on 30 Eastern European and Central Asian countries were analysed using probit regression analysis. The findings show that there is a positive significant relationship between firms that start operation informally and the firm’s innovation and that such effect persists overtime. The study found that this relationship is stronger if the firms can gain access to finance to expand their business activities. Finally, the results show that such a relationship is based on the type of innovation being pursued by the firms. By examining the moderation effect of access to finance on starting a business informally, the study provides an alternative explanation to policymakers on how to deal with informal firms to benefit from their contribution to growth.

This research aims to facilitate micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in integrating lean thinking with Industry 4.0 principles. Qualitative and quantitative data are collected through personal interaction and online surveys of industry professionals. The findings empirically validate and establish the supporting role and importance of lean thinking (principles and techniques) in achieving the Industry 4.0 guiding principle. Text/verbatim analysis indicates positive sentiments on facets like strength, benefits, challenges and training needs of a lean organisation in its transition to Industry 4.0. The framework provides a theoretical base for lean integration with Industry 4.0. The developed framework can be practically deployed in any MSMEs. It can guide entrepreneurs, managers, industry professionals and consultants in their strategic decision-making to implement lean synergistically with Industry 4.0 principles. The framework developed is unique in integrating lean with the principles of Industry 4.0 and would help Indian MSMEs optimise resources for achieving organisational excellence.

Recent research on entrepreneurship has established that individuals with certain personality traits are more likely to take up entrepreneurial careers as compared to others. However, it is still unclear whether and how the dark side of individuals’ personality impacts entrepreneurial career intentions. Accordingly, this study, building on the theory of planned behaviour, seeks to explore the mechanisms through which narcissism—a dark personality trait—impacts entrepreneurial intention. The authors contend that narcissism shapes the individual’s attitude and worldview of the prevailing subjective norms, which collectively translate into evaluating entrepreneurship as a favourable career choice. This study empirically validates the hypotheses using a sample of 220 postgraduate students in an Indian business school. The findings offer crucial implications for individuals trying to make career choices; and demonstrate that it would be helpful for individuals to explore the dark side of their personality before arriving at an appropriate career choice.

The goal of this article is to investigate the influence of a family firm’s commitment to learning on open innovation. First, the research suggests that commitment to learning would allow the family firm to develop organisational knowledge useful to initiate and develop open innovations. Second, the conceptual model suggests that this relationship would be negatively moderated by the socio-emotional goal of family-to-the firm identification. Indeed, it is argued that a family firm’s identity preservation may inhibit open innovation because the firm may be reluctant to collaborate with other firms, or to license its intellectual property to others, for fear that this will erode its competitive advantage. While the first hypothesis is corroborated, unexpectedly the second is not, as the findings show that the stronger the identification, the stronger the influence that learning would have on open innovation.
