ABSTRACT There has been extensive study in the entrepreneurial orientation domain (EO) from uni-dimensional and multidimensional perspectives and relationships between EO and business growth performance. There has been limited study concerning the EO family and small business relationship and environmental impact from New Zealand perspective. Focusing on family business, this research examined the EO and New Zealand family business growth performance and the environmental effects on the relationship. This research adopted a quantitative method, collected data from 117 participants. Partial least structure and structural equation model analysis were used to test seven hypothesis on the relationship of EO and family business growth performance, the influence of dynamic and hostile environments on the relationship. It was found EO dimension variables were a strong predictor of family business growth performance, EO family business positively related, and that environmental factors strongly mediate the relationship between EO and family growth.
创业导向领域(EO)与企业成长绩效之间的关系已经从单维和多维的角度进行了广泛的研究。从新西兰的角度来看,关于EO家庭和小企业关系以及环境影响的研究有限。本研究以家族企业为研究对象,考察了EO与新西兰家族企业成长绩效及环境影响的关系。本研究采用定量方法,收集了117名参与者的数据。采用偏最小结构和结构方程模型分析方法,对EO与家族企业成长绩效之间的关系、动态环境和敌对环境对关系的影响等七个假设进行了检验。研究发现,企业经营环境维度变量对家族企业成长绩效具有较强的预测作用,企业经营环境与家族企业成长绩效呈正相关,环境因素在企业经营环境与家族企业成长绩效之间具有较强的中介作用。

ABSTRACT This study sought to identify the major obstacles to Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) growth in Ghana and to determine how the identified obstacles affect business growth. Using a quantitative research design, the study relied on World Bank's data from the Enterprise Survey on Ghana. The factor analysis (FA) was used to reduce the dimensionality of obstacles affecting the operations of SMEs. The study further used the multiple regression analysis to examine how employee and sales growth of SMEs are influenced by the obstacles identified through the FA. The outcome of the regression results revealed that of the nine variables considered in the study, access to finance, tax burden, labour inadequacy and regulations, firm size, experience of owner/manager, and ownership type are the significant factors that influence SME growth in Ghana. The study recommends how these obstacles can be overcome to promote the growth of SMEs.
本研究旨在确定加纳中小企业(SMEs)成长的主要障碍,并确定这些障碍如何影响企业增长。该研究采用了定量研究设计,依据的是世界银行对加纳企业调查的数据。运用因子分析法对影响中小企业经营的障碍进行降维分析。本研究进一步运用多元回归分析,检视中小企业员工与销售成长如何受到经由FA所辨识障碍的影响。回归结果显示,在研究中考虑的九个变量中,融资渠道、税负、劳动力不足和法规、公司规模、所有者/经理的经验和所有权类型是影响加纳中小企业增长的重要因素。该研究建议如何克服这些障碍,以促进中小企业的成长。

ABSTRACT In this narrative review, we provide a historical overview of the rising trend towards vehicle-based living, focusing on mature-aged, hypermobile, gig workers. We draw on findings from several bodies of literature, including road-based tourism and digital nomadism, as well as narratives from popular culture artefacts. Focusing on the nexus of tourism, housing, senior entrepreneurship, remote work, and active ageing, we identify opportunities for the growing silver economy, including ways for regional areas to attract patronage and leverage purchasing decisions associated with shifting population demographics. Scholarly awareness of this previously neglected, and largely invisible cohort of society is weak. Further research is proposed to aid in better understanding the needs of mature-aged, hypermobile gig workers, and associated market opportunities.
在这篇叙事性的回顾中,我们提供了一个以汽车为基础的生活的上升趋势的历史概述,重点是成熟年龄,超移动,零工工人。我们借鉴了几个文献的发现,包括公路旅游和数字游牧,以及流行文化文物的叙述。关注旅游、住房、老年人创业、远程工作和积极老龄化之间的联系,我们发现了不断增长的银发经济的机会,包括地区吸引惠顾和利用与人口结构变化相关的购买决策的方式。学术界对这个以前被忽视、基本上看不见的社会群体的认识很弱。进一步的研究建议,以帮助更好地了解成熟年龄,超移动零工工人的需求,以及相关的市场机会。

Part-time entrepreneurship in the third age: well-being and motives 第三个时代的兼职创业:幸福感和动机

ABSTRACT The objective is to contribute to understanding entrepreneurship in ageing societies and to suggest avenues to ensure people in their third age (aged 50+) actively contribute to the supply side of the silver economy. To this end, we apply mixed methods to understand the different effects of motives and attitudes on the well-being of part-time entrepreneurs. The analysis is refined by categorizing those entrepreneurs into third age and prime-age cohorts. The analysis used data from 400 Finnish part-time entrepreneurs. When the stability of the financial situation is controlled for, attitudes to entrepreneurship and self-realization as a motive explain well-being among third-age group. For the younger age group, financial motives were also important in explaining well-being, but recognition and independence motives had a negative effect. Policymakers should consider incentivizing third-age entrepreneurs to continue working also after retirement and aim to foster a climate marked by a positive attitude to third-age entrepreneurship
目的是帮助理解老龄化社会中的创业精神,并建议途径,以确保人们在他们的第三个年龄(50岁以上)积极地为白银经济的供给侧做出贡献。为此,我们采用混合方法来了解动机和态度对兼职企业家福祉的不同影响。通过将这些企业家分为第三年龄组和黄金年龄组,分析得到了改进。这项分析使用了400名芬兰兼职企业家的数据。当财务状况稳定受到控制时,对创业和自我实现的态度作为动机解释了第三年龄群体的幸福感。对于较年轻的年龄组,经济动机在解释幸福感方面也很重要,但认可和独立动机有负面影响。政策制定者应考虑鼓励三岁企业家在退休后继续工作,并致力于营造一种对三岁企业家持积极态度的氛围

ABSTRACT Milkiana Cattle feed is a success story of the young and second-generation entrepreneur Mr. Pramod Agrawal. It was his dream to develop such an Indian brand that would be emblematic of the quality and consistency in the cattle feed industry. With no such experience in this business and hailing from a conservative business family, it was not easy for him to pursue this debut venture. It was a difficult task to change the consumer's mind about a product and subsequently its journey to become a brand of repute. Also, with limited geographical coverage and the presence of national competitors, it was a challenge of choice for the consumers. The advantage of having raw material sourcing from the by-product of another business is one of the triggers for this venture and a motivational drive for this venture.
Milkiana牛饲料是年轻的第二代企业家Pramod Agrawal先生的成功故事。他的梦想是开发这样一个印度品牌,成为牛饲料行业质量和一致性的象征。由于没有这方面的经验,并且来自一个保守的商业家庭,对他来说,追求这个首次冒险并不容易。改变消费者对一种产品的看法,进而改变它成为一个声誉良好的品牌,这是一项艰巨的任务。此外,由于地理覆盖范围有限,而且存在国家竞争对手,这对消费者来说是一个选择的挑战。从其他企业的副产品中采购原材料的优势是这个企业的触发因素之一,也是这个企业的动力驱动因素。

ABSTRACT It is common for SMEs to include their employees’ social media image and followers in their brand development strategy. Thus, they consequently also make the social media image and followers of prospective employees’ part of their recruitment strategy. However, most students have not yet noticed this trend and are primarily focusing on goals set by their education programmes without focusing on the potential marketability of their own social media image. To address this gap, we conducted a literature review and interviewed representatives from recruiting companies. Our findings reveal that growth-oriented companies seek applicants with an excellent individual brand image because they perceive it as an indication for future gains in this regard. Moreover, we also found that companies should support new applicants’ skills in their orientation process, especially social media branding because it will help them align with the company’s brand vision.
中小企业将员工的社交媒体形象和关注者纳入其品牌发展战略中是很常见的。因此,他们也将潜在员工的社交媒体形象和追随者作为招聘策略的一部分。然而,大多数学生还没有注意到这一趋势,他们主要关注的是自己的教育项目设定的目标,而不是自己的社交媒体形象的潜在市场。为了解决这一差距,我们进行了文献综述,并采访了招聘公司的代表。我们的研究结果表明,成长型公司寻找具有优秀个人品牌形象的求职者,因为他们认为这是未来在这方面取得成就的标志。此外,我们还发现,公司应该在入职培训过程中支持新求职者的技能,尤其是社交媒体品牌,因为这将帮助他们与公司的品牌愿景保持一致。

ABSTRACT This study examines the tax compliance intentions of self-employed individuals in the informal sector and evaluates the effect of antecedent-based intervention strategies, trust and perceived tax complexity on tax compliance intention. Using the extended version of the Theory of Planned Behaviour as the theoretical base, the study additionally investigates whether attitude, subjective norms, perceived behavioural control and moral obligation may be good predictors of tax compliance intention. Data were gathered from 725 self-employed individuals in Ghana using a structured questionnaire, and analysed using the structural equation modelling technique. We find from our empirical analysis that although our respondents exhibit greater intention to comply with tax payment duties, most respondents consider non-compliance to be justifiable if the tax rates are too burdensome. Our results further suggest that trust in the tax system, perceived tax complexity, antecedent-based intervention strategies, attitude, subjective norms, and moral obligation are relevant predictors of tax compliance intention.
摘要本研究考察了非正式部门个体经营者的税收合规意愿,并评估了基于前因由的干预策略、信任和感知税收复杂性对税收合规意愿的影响。本研究以计划行为理论的扩展版本为理论基础,进一步探讨态度、主观规范、感知行为控制和道德义务是否可能是税收遵从意愿的良好预测因子。使用结构化问卷从加纳的725名自雇人士中收集数据,并使用结构方程建模技术进行分析。我们从实证分析中发现,尽管我们的受访者表现出更大的遵守纳税义务的意愿,但大多数受访者认为,如果税率过于繁重,不遵守是合理的。我们的研究结果进一步表明,对税收制度的信任、感知税收复杂性、基于前因的干预策略、态度、主观规范和道德义务是税收合规意愿的相关预测因素。

ABSTRACT Village savings and loans has become a prominent financing option for micro and small enterprises in the Lilongwe District, Malawi. Despite this, its impact on the performances of micro and small enterprises (MSEs) are yet to be ascertained. Hence, this study aimed at assessing the effect of VSLAs on the performance of MSEs in Lilongwe, Malawi. The study used a comparative study by comparing VSLA member enterprises with non-VSLA member firms using with and without approach. Test of mean difference and multiple regression analysis was performed on the data obtained. The findings of the study indicated MSEs with access to VSLA services performed better than non-VSLA enterprises. It is, therefore, recommended that owners of micro enterprises join VSLAs to boost their performance through readily available loans and savings and capacity building through training and education.
在马拉维利隆圭地区,乡村储蓄和贷款已成为微型和小型企业的主要融资选择。尽管如此,其对微型和小型企业(mse)绩效的影响尚未确定。因此,本研究旨在评估vsla对马拉维利隆圭mse绩效的影响。本研究采用有和无方法对VSLA成员企业与非VSLA成员企业进行比较研究。对所得数据进行均值差检验和多元回归分析。研究结果表明,获得VSLA服务的mse比非VSLA企业表现更好。因此,建议微型企业的所有者加入vsla,通过随时获得贷款和储蓄以及通过培训和教育进行能力建设来提高其绩效。

It is, therefore, recommended that owners of micro enterprises join VSLAs to boost their performance through readily available loans and savings and capacity building through training and education.","PeriodicalId":45085,"journal":{"name":"Small Enterprise Research","volume":"75 1","pages":"107 - 128"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2021-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77950258","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

ABSTRACT Subsistence small business entrepreneurs operate to fulfil the necessities of life but do so on a smaller scale with fewer resources and capital. In this paper, we will explore the domains of entrepreneurial ecosystems in Pakistan, to understand the support needed for subsistence entrepreneurs. Following a qualitative research approach, data are collected through in-depth interviews with subsistence entrepreneurs in Pakistan. This involves developing a systematic structure of knowledge sharing among other subsistence entrepreneurs in the community. We find that all entrepreneurs share their experience and knowledge with each other. This means that the concept of competition does not resonate in their setting; rather, the entrepreneurs use their personal knowledge augmentation to contribute to their community. This paper offers insights that contribute to the subsistence market of Pakistan and the future potential of entrepreneurs in the country.
维持生计的小企业企业家是为了满足生活必需品而经营的,但规模较小,资源和资本较少。在本文中,我们将探讨巴基斯坦创业生态系统的领域,以了解自给企业家所需的支持。采用定性研究方法,通过对巴基斯坦自给企业家的深入访谈收集数据。这涉及在社区的其他谋生企业家之间建立一个知识共享的系统结构。我们发现所有的企业家都在分享他们的经验和知识。这意味着竞争的概念不会在他们的设定中产生共鸣;相反,企业家利用他们的个人知识来为他们的社区做出贡献。本文提供了有助于巴基斯坦生存市场和该国企业家未来潜力的见解。
