PurposeEntrepreneurship is an important paradigm for enhancing the economic well-being of nations. However, despite heated debate about the significant role of entrepreneurial education (EE) in developing favourable entrepreneurial intention (EI), little is known about the role of individuals’ entrepreneurial self-efficacy (ES), entrepreneurial motivation (EM) and family support (FS), which the authors investigated in this study.Design/methodology/approachThis study has used a quantitative research design to collect data from 334 young people from various Malaysian higher education institutes using a purposive sampling technique and a deductive approach based on the theory of planned behaviour (TPB).FindingsThe findings revealed interesting insights into the criticality of young people’s ES, EM and FS in learning methods, techniques and skills to start new enterprises. Moreover, EE was a significant mediator of the relationship between individual self-efficacy, FS, EM and EI.Originality/valueThis study is among the few to contribute to strategic management scholarship by designing a framework based on the idea that EE relies on diverse factors, particularly ES, EM and FS. These factors encourage Malaysian young people to seek the necessary education to develop favourable EI and launch successful businesses.
目的创业是增进各国经济福祉的一个重要模式。然而,尽管关于创业教育(EE)在培养有利创业意愿(EI)中的重要作用存在激烈争论,但作者在本研究中调查的个人创业自我效能感(ES)、创业动机(EM)和家庭支持(FS)的作用知之甚少。设计/方法/方法本研究采用定量研究设计,使用有目的的抽样技术和基于计划行为理论(TPB)的演绎方法,从马来西亚各高等教育机构的334名年轻人中收集数据,EM和FS学习创办新企业的方法、技术和技能。此外,EE是个体自我效能感、FS、EM和EI之间关系的重要中介。独创性/价值本研究是为数不多的基于EE依赖于多种因素,特别是ES、EM和FS的观点设计框架,为战略管理学术做出贡献的研究之一。这些因素鼓励马来西亚年轻人寻求必要的教育,以发展有利的EI并创办成功的企业。

PurposeThis study aims to develop and empirically test a model that describes the factors influencing a firm’s export performance; a model that can be adopted by future export researchers, policymakers and practitioners. Specifically, this study aimed to identify the main factors affecting the export performance of manufacturing small- to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Rwanda and determine the extent of influence of each identified factor on export performance.Design/methodology/approachThe research design combines both exploratory research and causal research designs to test the proposed model. Interview guide and survey questionnaires were used to collect the raw data. The collected quantitative data were analysed using the structural equation modelling technique with the Analysis of Moment Structures software.FindingsThe findings revealed that all the factors identified, namely, organisational, entrepreneurial and industrial, and market factors had a significant positive impact on the export performance of SMEs. Moreover, entrepreneurial factors were proven to be the most influencing factors in export performance followed by market-level factors. In this context, the proposed resource-market-based model of export performance was tested and validated in a less developed country, Rwanda, for exporting SMEs.Originality/valueThe proposed model of export performance extends the existing literature in two ways: firstly, it integrates internal and external factors to explain the export performance of an SME and secondly, it tests the relative importance of these factors in driving and maintaining international performance.
目的本研究旨在建立一个模型并对其进行实证检验,该模型描述了影响企业出口绩效的因素;未来出口研究人员、政策制定者和从业者可以采用的模式。具体而言,本研究旨在确定影响卢旺达制造业中小企业出口业绩的主要因素,并确定每个确定的因素对出口业绩的影响程度。设计/方法论/方法研究设计结合了探索性研究和因果研究设计,以测试所提出的模型。访谈指南和调查问卷用于收集原始数据。使用结构方程建模技术和力矩结构分析软件对收集的定量数据进行分析。调查结果显示,所有确定的因素,即组织、创业和工业因素,以及市场因素,都对中小企业的出口绩效产生了显著的积极影响。此外,企业家因素被证明是影响出口业绩的最大因素,其次是市场层面的因素。在此背景下,所提出的基于资源市场的出口绩效模型在欠发达国家卢旺达进行了测试和验证,用于出口中小企业。Originality/value所提出的出口绩效模式以两种方式扩展了现有文献:首先,它综合了内部和外部因素来解释中小企业的出口绩效;其次,它测试了这些因素在推动和保持国际表现方面的相对重要性。

PurposeThis study aims to provide a comprehensive review and bibliometric analysis of the literature in the field of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education over the past 15 years, with a specific focus on global distribution and research trends.Design/methodology/approachThis study collected 1,718 documents from the Web of Science (WOS) database and analyzed their timeline distribution, geographical distribution, research topics, subject areas, learning stages and citation burst using a bibliometric approach with VOSviewer and Citespace.FindingsResults indicated that: overall, STEM education has increasingly gained scholarly attention and is developing diversely by emphasizing interdisciplinary, cross-domain and regional collaboration. In terms of global collaboration, a collaborative network with the USA in the center is gradually expanding to a global scope. In terms of research themes, four key topics can be outlined including educational equity, pedagogy, empirical effects and career development. Social, cultural and economic factors influence the way STEM education is implemented across different countries. The developed Western countries highlighted educational equity and disciplinary integration, while the developing countries tend to focus more on pedagogical practices. As for research trends, eastern countries are emphasizing humanistic leadership and cultural integration in STEM education; in terms of teachers’ professional development, teachers’ abilities of interdisciplinary integration, technology adoption and pedagogy application are of the greatest importance. With regards to pedagogy, the main focus is for developing students’ higher-order abilities. In terms of education equity, issues of gender and ethnicity were still the hottest topics, while the unbalanced development of STEM education across regions needs further research.Originality/valueThis study provides a global landscape of STEM education along the timeline, which illustrates the yearly progressive development of STEM education and indicates the future trends.
目的本研究旨在对过去15年来科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)教育领域的文献进行全面回顾和文献计量分析 年,特别关注全球分布和研究趋势。设计/方法论/方法本研究从Web of Science(WOS)数据库中收集了1718篇文献,并使用VOSviewer和Citespace的文献计量方法分析了它们的时间轴分布、地理分布、研究主题、学科领域、学习阶段和引文爆发,STEM教育日益受到学术界的关注,并通过强调跨学科、跨领域和区域合作而多样化发展。在全球合作方面,以美国为中心的合作网络正在逐步扩大到全球范围。在研究主题方面,可以概述四个关键主题,包括教育公平、教育学、实证效应和职业发展。社会、文化和经济因素影响着STEM教育在不同国家的实施方式。西方发达国家强调教育公平和学科融合,而发展中国家往往更注重教学实践。就研究趋势而言,东方国家在STEM教育中强调人文领导力和文化融合;就教师的专业发展而言,教师的跨学科整合能力、技术采用能力和教育学应用能力至关重要。在教育学方面,主要关注培养学生的高阶能力。在教育公平方面,性别和种族问题仍然是最热门的话题,而跨地区STEM教育发展的不平衡需要进一步研究。独创性/价值本研究提供了STEM教育的全球前景,说明了STEM教学的年度渐进发展,并指明了未来趋势。

PurposeThe number of patents in China has grown rapidly in recent years. The purpose of this paper is to investigate how patents impact economic development in China.Design/methodology/approachThis paper developed an empirical model by using panel data of 42 China's patent-intensive industries to investigate the economic contribution made by Chinese patent-intensive manufacturing industries.FindingsThis paper found that the intensity of valid patents is strongly positively related to economic growth. The intensity of yearly added patents presented an inverse U-shaped and a U-shaped curve with the economy made by China’s patent-intensive industries. The correlativity mainly depended on whether the patent intensity converges near the economic indicators. Meanwhile, from the perspective of input–output efficiency, for China’s patent-intensive industries, R&D institutes were overinvested, followed by R&D intensity and R&D staff.Originality/valueInvestigating patent influence on economic development is quite complex research. Existing studies have mainly focused on patent protection in legal systems, but have not provided a definitive answer to what the real influence is. This study sought to narrow this gap from the patent economy perspective.
目的近年来,中国的专利数量增长迅速。本文的目的是研究专利对中国经济发展的影响。设计/方法/途径利用中国42个专利密集型产业的面板数据,构建了实证模型,考察了中国专利密集型制造业的经济贡献。研究发现,有效专利强度与经济增长呈显著正相关。年专利增量强度与中国专利密集型产业的经济总量呈倒u型和u型曲线关系。相关性主要取决于专利强度是否与经济指标趋同。同时,从投入产出效率的角度看,中国专利密集型产业的研发机构投资过度,其次是研发强度和研发人员。考察专利对经济发展的影响是一项相当复杂的研究。现有的研究主要集中在法律制度中的专利保护,但没有提供一个明确的答案,真正的影响是什么。本研究试图从专利经济的角度缩小这一差距。

Trust in lecturer–student relationships as a factor supporting entrepreneurship 信任师生关系是支持创业的一个因素
IF 3.1 Pub Date : 2022-11-08 DOI: 10.1108/apjie-03-2022-0017
D. Lewicka, Naresh Bollampally
PurposeThis paper aims to identify trust’s role in the student–lecturer relationship and to identify the factors that build trust in this relationship, as well as the mechanisms through which trust influences entrepreneurial intentions and behaviours.Design/methodology/approachThis paper presents the results of empirical research based on a semi-structured interview questionnaire. The participants included 12 entrepreneurs, 25–40 years old, who were running their own small enterprises. They were categorised by industry.FindingsThis study’s results suggest that entrepreneurship education based on trust in student–lecturer relationships contributes to the formation of entrepreneurial intentions and behaviours. This study has identified the factors that build trust between students and lecturers. Three mechanisms were also identified as having the greatest impact on transforming entrepreneurial intentions into actions: increasing self-efficacy, cultivating a broader perspective and encouraging initiative and risk taking.Research limitations/implicationsAn obvious limitation of this research is its small sample size. Moreover, this study’s respondents were all entrepreneurs running small companies – mainly start-ups – with up to 50 employees established by entrepreneurs up to four years after graduation. Additionally, the majority of the sample were men of Indian nationality. In subsequent studies, including more diverse respondents would be useful. Moreover, a quantitative survey of a larger sample with greater gender and cultural diversity would be worthwhile to test the proposed model.Practical implicationsThis paper helps explain the trust’s importance in the student–lecturer relationship. This paper reveals how relationships should be established to support entrepreneurial learning outcomes.Originality/valueThe results of this research expand the knowledge on trust-building between students and lecturers that can develop successful entrepreneurial attitudes amongst students and help students succeed as entrepreneurs. To the authors’ knowledge, no previous research had examined this topic. This study’s results are probably more universally relevant than our limited sample suggests, so further in-depth research is needed.
本文旨在确定信任在学生-讲师关系中的作用,确定在这种关系中建立信任的因素,以及信任影响创业意图和行为的机制。设计/方法/方法本文采用半结构化访谈问卷进行实证研究。参与者包括12名25-40岁的企业家,他们经营着自己的小企业。它们是按行业分类的。研究结果表明,基于师生关系信任的创业教育有助于创业意向和创业行为的形成。这项研究确定了在学生和讲师之间建立信任的因素。三种机制也被认为对将创业意图转化为行动有最大的影响:提高自我效能感,培养更广阔的视野,鼓励主动性和冒险精神。研究的局限性/启示本研究的一个明显的局限性是样本量小。此外,这项研究的受访者都是经营小公司(主要是初创企业)的企业家,这些公司在毕业四年后由企业家创办,员工不超过50人。此外,大多数样本是印度裔男性。在随后的研究中,包括更多不同的受访者将是有用的。此外,值得对性别和文化多样性更大的样本进行定量调查,以检验提议的模式。实践意义本文有助于解释信任在师生关系中的重要性。本文揭示了应该如何建立关系来支持创业学习成果。本研究的结果扩展了学生与讲师之间建立信任的知识,这种信任可以在学生中培养成功的创业态度,并帮助学生成为成功的企业家。据作者所知,以前没有研究过这个话题。这项研究的结果可能比我们有限的样本更具有普遍相关性,因此需要进一步深入研究。

PurposeThis paper aims to examine the determinants of entrepreneurial intention among students of a university in Nigeria, with particular emphasis on their risk-taking propensity, social support and demographic variables.Design/methodology/approachData for the study were collected from 350 undergraduates across seven faculties in Obafemi Awolowo University, Nigeria, through a self-reported questionnaire. Descriptive and regression statistical analysis were used to estimate and test the relationship among entrepreneurial intention and social support, risk-taking propensity and demographic variables.FindingsThe results showed high entrepreneurial intention among the students. The push factors, such as perceived social support from families, risk-taking propensity and previous engagement in business, are key determinants of entrepreneurship intention among the students. The age and father’s occupation also showed a significant relationship with the level of entrepreneurial intention.Practical implicationsThis result suggests that strengthening social support for entrepreneurship among students could enhance their desire to own a business during and after graduation. Improving entrepreneurship ecosystems in the university could further motivate those already practicing entrepreneurship while also stimulating intentions among others. For instance, provision of entrepreneurship infrastructure and incentives such as business incubators, innovation hubs, science parks and competitive business grants could enhance the risk-taking propensity among students and motivate them for venture creation.Originality/valueUnderstanding the influence of social support and risk-taking propensity on entrepreneurial intention among undergraduates is important for policy and practice. The result further reinforces the need to promote entrepreneurship education to create a critical mass of potential entrepreneurs in the university.
目的本文旨在检验尼日利亚一所大学学生创业意愿的决定因素,特别是他们的冒险倾向、社会支持和人口统计变量。设计/方法/方法该研究的数据通过自我报告问卷从尼日利亚奥巴菲米·阿沃洛沃大学七个学院的350名本科生中收集。使用描述性和回归统计分析来估计和检验创业意愿与社会支持、冒险倾向和人口统计学变量之间的关系。研究结果表明,大学生具有较高的创业意愿。推动因素,如家庭的社会支持、冒险倾向和以前的商业参与,是学生创业意愿的关键决定因素。年龄和父亲的职业也与创业意愿水平存在显著关系。实践意义这一结果表明,加强学生对创业的社会支持可以增强他们在毕业期间和毕业后拥有企业的愿望。改善大学的创业生态系统可以进一步激励那些已经在实践创业的人,同时也可以激发其他人的意愿。例如,提供创业基础设施和激励措施,如企业孵化器、创新中心、科技园和竞争性商业赠款,可以提高学生的冒险倾向,激励他们创业。原创性/价值观了解社会支持和冒险倾向对大学生创业意愿的影响对政策和实践具有重要意义。这一结果进一步加强了促进创业教育的必要性,以在大学中培养出足够数量的潜在企业家。

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to reveal the paradox between diversification and specialization from a dynamic perspective. More precisely, this paper will analyze the impact of diversification and specialization as well as their interaction on regional innovation in different development stages.Design/methodology/approachBased on the principles of new economic geography and innovation geography, data from 30 provinces from 2001 to 2017 was used to explore the relationship. Least squares regressions with fix effect were used to examine the hypotheses.FindingsThe results show that both diversification and specialization have a significantly and positive impact on regional innovation. The interaction of diversification and specialization also significantly and positively impacts regional innovation. The effect of industrial agglomeration is heterogeneity under different development stages.Practical implicationsThis paper verifies the positive role of diversification and specialization and their interaction in promoting regional innovation. The impact of industrial agglomeration on innovation is dynamic and changes with the regional development process. Emerging economies should make appropriate industrial agglomeration strategies according to their development stages.Originality/valueThis paper introduces diversification, specialization and their interaction into the research framework at the same time to analyze their impact on innovation performance which deepened the research of industrial agglomeration. Taking China as an example, this paper also examines the impact of industrial agglomeration on regional innovation in different development stages that expands the dynamic perspective of industrial agglomeration.
本文的目的是从一个动态的角度揭示多样化与专业化之间的矛盾。更准确地说,本文将分析多样化和专业化对不同发展阶段区域创新的影响及其相互作用。设计/方法论/方法基于新经济地理学和创新地理学的原理,利用2001-2017年30个省份的数据来探讨两者之间的关系。使用具有固定效应的最小二乘回归来检验假设。研究结果表明,多元化和专业化对区域创新都有显著而积极的影响。多样化和专业化的相互作用也对区域创新产生重大而积极的影响。不同发展阶段的产业集聚效应具有异质性。实践启示本文验证了多元化和专业化及其相互作用在促进区域创新中的积极作用。产业集聚对创新的影响是动态的,是随着区域发展过程而变化的。新兴经济体应根据其发展阶段制定适当的产业集聚战略。创新/价值本文将多样化、专业化及其相互作用引入研究框架,同时分析它们对创新绩效的影响,深化了产业集聚的研究。以中国为例,考察了不同发展阶段产业集聚对区域创新的影响,拓展了产业集聚的动态视角。

PurposeThis study aims to dispense a concrete and coherent picture on the role of digitalization of accounting information (DOAI) among the small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) through a statistically reliable and parsimonious paradigm for procuring the impact of DOAI on sustainable innovation ecosystem (SIE) and public value (PV) generation. With this cue, the geographical scope of this tentative manuscript was framed in SMEs of developing countries.Design/methodology/approachA three-pronged methodology was disposed in this research, namely, literature review, expert interviews and self-administered survey. Qualitative data was procured from a series of semi-structured in-depth interviews. The quantitative data was drawn on a self-administered survey in which the closed-ended questionnaires were conveniently circulated to a cross-sectional sample of 583 respondents. The data captured from quantitative approach was processed and analyzed via covariance-based structural equation modeling with AMOS 26.0.FindingsThe outcomes analysis highlighted that there were significant positive associations between the hypothesized constructs regarding significance and effect size. These interlinks were also partially mediated through the mediation of quality of information on financial reports and SIE.Research limitations/implicationsThis research was bounded by geographical provenance emphasis on one country and relative smallness of the data set procured through anonymous survey-based approach drawn from a convenient sample of digitally savvy respondents working in one sub-sector resulted in the reduction in the robustness and generalizability of the observations. Nevertheless, these above-mentioned limitations could thus offer the starting points for novel avenues creation for the future research.Practical implicationsThe practitioners would definitely have valuable benefits from in-depth insights on the obtained findings. Concretely, as lifting the degree of understandings on the magnitude of long-term cooperation and superior coordination within the SIE would enable practitioners to enlarge their business viewpoints to better cope with the challenges of complicated business settings, facilitating them to co-create PV for all their key stakeholders through giving priority to implementing DOAI.Social implicationsSociety could benefit from this study if policymakers and the influencers of government focus on innovative features and assure the possible environment for innovation deployment through embarking on introducing policies that would facilitate the digitalization as well as stimulate and incentivize establishing the SIE for PV generation. It would be good for both the SMEs and society when SMEs could thrive in community settings as well as this togetherness.Originality/valueUnpacking the potential of DOAI has been considered as the promising research avenues that are outlined not only to redress the shortfall in the resea
目的本研究旨在通过一种统计上可靠和简约的范式来获取会计信息数字化对可持续创新生态系统(SIE)和公共价值(PV)产生的影响,从而对会计信息数字化在中小企业中的作用提供一个具体而连贯的画面。根据这一线索,这份暂定手稿的地理范围是在发展中国家的中小企业中确定的。设计/方法论/方法本研究采用文献综述、专家访谈和自我管理调查三种方法。定性数据是从一系列半结构化的深入访谈中获得的。定量数据来自一项自行管理的调查,在该调查中,封闭式问卷方便地分发给583名受访者的横断面样本。通过AMOS 26.0的基于协方差的结构方程建模对定量方法获取的数据进行处理和分析。结果分析强调,在显著性和效应大小方面,假设的结构之间存在显著的正相关。这些相互联系也部分是通过财务报告和SIE信息质量的中介来实现的。研究的局限性/含义这项研究受到地理来源对一个国家的强调以及通过匿名调查方法获得的数据集相对较小的限制,该方法是从一个国家工作的精通数字的受访者的方便样本中提取的子部门导致观察结果的稳健性和可推广性下降。尽管如此,这些上述局限性可以为未来的研究提供新途径的起点。实践意义从业者肯定会从对所获得的发现的深入见解中获得宝贵的好处。具体而言,由于提高对SIE内部长期合作和卓越协调规模的理解程度,将使从业者能够扩大他们的商业视角,更好地应对复杂商业环境的挑战,通过优先实施DOAI,促进他们为所有关键利益相关者共同创造PV。如果政策制定者和政府的影响者关注创新特征,并通过推出有助于数字化的政策来确保创新部署的可能环境,社会可以从这项研究中受益以刺激和激励建立光伏发电SIE。当中小企业能够在社区环境中以及这种团结中蓬勃发展时,这对中小企业和社会都有好处。原创性/价值挖掘DOAI的潜力被认为是有前景的研究途径,这些途径不仅可以弥补中小企业数字化研究流的不足,还可以为中小企业的可持续发展提供正确的方向。

PurposeThis study aims to determine the effect of organizational learning capability (OLC) on organizational innovation (OI) and identify the type of innovation that is accorded more emphasis by Ethiopian manufacturing firms.Design/methodology/approachThis study applied an explanatory research design, and cross-sectional data were gathered through structured questionnaires from general and HR managers of 197 manufacturing firms in Addis Ababa and Oromia, Ethiopia. The ordinary least square regression method was applied to analyze the data.FindingsThe study provides empirical insights into how OLC affects OI. The findings revealed that the sampled firms have scored low mean values in terms of OLC and OI. In addition, OLC had a positive but low effect on OI and its dimensions. Because of their weak institutional support, the sampled firms tended to emphasize administrative innovation rather than product and process innovations.Research limitations/implicationsThis study would have yielded better results if it was built on evidence-based data to reveal how radical or incremental OIs are, as well as how OLC and OI vary across different sectors. The theoretical and practical implications drawn from the findings are also presented.Originality/valueThere is little empirical evidence of the nexus among OLC, process and administrative innovations, especially from the perspective of developing economies. This study empirically supports the direct relationship between the constructs. In developing countries such as Ethiopia, where there are weak institutional resources and support, administrative innovation shall be emphasized in the short run.
目的本研究旨在确定组织学习能力(OLC)对组织创新(OI)的影响,并确定埃塞俄比亚制造企业更重视的创新类型。设计/方法/方法本研究采用解释研究设计,通过对埃塞俄比亚亚的斯亚贝巴和奥罗米亚197家制造企业的总经理和人力资源经理进行结构化问卷调查,收集横截面数据。采用普通最小二乘回归方法对数据进行分析。本研究为OLC如何影响成骨不全提供了实证见解。调查结果显示,抽样公司得分较低的平均值在OLC和OI方面。此外,OLC对OI及其维度有积极但低的影响。由于制度支持薄弱,样本企业倾向于强调行政创新,而不是产品和工艺创新。研究的局限性/意义如果这项研究是建立在以证据为基础的数据上,以揭示OI是激进的还是增量的,以及不同部门的OLC和OI是如何变化的,那么它将产生更好的结果。本文还提出了从研究结果中得出的理论和实践意义。独创性/价值特别是从发展中经济体的角度来看,很少有经验证据表明劳动生产率、流程和行政创新之间存在联系。本研究实证支持构念之间的直接关系。在埃塞俄比亚等发展中国家,制度资源和支持薄弱,短期内应强调行政创新。

PurposePakistan has marvellous growth and development capacity, and entrepreneurial small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) play a key role in its development. As it is believed that entrepreneurial SMEs make an important contribution to the economy by providing employment and soaring production capacity, the purpose of this study is to investigate the hurdles that affect their performance.Design/methodology/approachA questionnaire-based survey was used to collect data from 225 entrepreneurial SMEs owners and managers in the southern region of Pakistan. Statistical analysis in SPSS was conducted to determine the barriers that limit the growth and development of SMEs.FindingsThe findings show that factors affecting entrepreneurial SMEs’ performance in Pakistan are lack of finance and infrastructure as well as economic barriers, corruption and management issues. These obstacles are positively and significantly associated with entrepreneurial SMEs’ failure.Originality/valueThis study’s significance lies in its identification of the barriers that affect the performance of entrepreneurial SMEs in Pakistan. The author also suggests how policymakers can devise better policies for SME growth.
