Digital technologies are transforming economic activity and opening up new opportunities, such as those being exploited by digital entrepreneurs. We study influencers and bloggers as a specific type of digital self-employment and as an under-researched phenomenon of social media entrepreneurship. The aim of this study is to explore the entrepreneurial motivations of influencers and bloggers and to investigate the specifics of their entrepreneurial process. A qualitative research approach involving interviews with 10 social media entrepreneurs provides insights into additional dimensions they bring to the concepts from entrepreneurship research. Our findings reveal the accelerated dynamics of the experimentation phase of the entrepreneurial process, which presents both advantages and disadvantages for the entrepreneur. Public exposure is one of the biggest challenges for them, suggesting that legitimacy is a crucial resource for social media entrepreneurs. We also find that they did not enter entrepreneurship in a planned and purposeful manner, but became aware of the possibility of starting a business while pursuing their interests.

This study examines the relationship between regulatory focus, level of mental constructs and entrepreneurial choice among students. One hundred and forty students enrolled in the Master of Law, Criminology, and Psychology, aged between 20 and 30 years of which 70 promotional and 70 preventive responded to the questionnaires of the regulative focus (Higgins et al., 2001), the identification of action (Vallacher and Wegner, 1989) and the entrepreneurial choice constructed on the basis of that of Jaskiewicz et al. (2016). The results indicate, on the one hand, that the regulatory focus and the level of mental construct significantly influence the entrepreneurial choice and, on the other hand, that abstract preventive students choose entrepreneurship more compared to concrete promotional ones. These results, explained by Trope’s theories of regulatory focus and construct level, suggest that regardless of regulatory focus, if one succeeds in stimulating an abstract mental construct level in students then one can help them prepare for entrepreneurship.
本研究考察了学生的调节焦点、心理结构水平与创业选择之间的关系。140名就读于法律、犯罪学和心理学硕士的学生，年龄在20至30岁之间，其中70名是宣传学生和70名是预防学生，他们对调节焦点（Higgins et al.，2001）、行动识别（Vallacher和Wegner，1989）和在Jaskiewicz et al。（2016）。研究结果表明，一方面，调控重点和心理结构水平对创业选择有显著影响，另一方面，抽象预防学生比具体促进学生更倾向于创业。Trope的调节焦点和结构水平理论解释了这些结果，表明无论调节焦点如何，如果一个人成功地激发了学生的抽象心理结构水平，那么就可以帮助他们为创业做好准备。

While the UN’s proclaimed decade of family farming (2019-2029) unfolds, management research has still not sufficiently explored the enterprising family in agriculture. Our article aims at exploring the literature on agricultural family businesses in the field of management sciences, towards suggesting future research directions. We present an overview of the definitional efforts and specificities of these family businesses, followed by a systematic literature review over the past decade. Our analysis identifies three clusters of dimensions that underpin the existing knowledge: entrepreneurial behavior, succession process, and psychological dynamics, in relation with three major outcomes that are growth, resilience, and continuity. Building on the existing research limitations and the current research trends, we craft a comprehensive agenda for scholars to advance our understanding of enterprising families in agriculture.

Taking the lead from stakeholder management theory, this study seeks to shed light on the association between the stakeholder pressure and the involvement of small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in sustainable actions. The study also proposes a moderating role of the business case for corporate sustainability on this relationship. Questionnaire responses from 135 French SMEs were analysed, confirming the positive effect of various stakeholders on the commitment to sustainable business practices among SMEs. The empirical results show that this effect differs according to the three pillars of sustainable development. Empirical results also suggest that a business case for sustainability is the overwhelming driver for the adoption of more responsibility-oriented practices. These results are consistent with the instrumental approach of stakeholder theory, which reveals that incorporating stakeholders’ concerns into a firm’s sustainability strategy depends on the owner-manager’s perception of the economic-financial advantage of such practices.

This work deals with the effect of transformational leadership (TL) on organisational performance (OP) through the mediating roles of organisational learning (OL) and open innovation (OI). Data was collected from 202 respondents in Tunisian enterprises using non-probabilistic convenience sampling. Based on structural equation modelling, the findings demonstrate a positive effect of TL on OP through an OI mediation. The study highlighted the direct and indirect effects of TL on OP through a double partial mediation of OI and OL. The document sheds new light on the gaps between TL and entrepreneurial leadership, not as a continuum, but as coexisting entrepreneurial leadership styles.

This study critically analyses the micro, meso and macro level factors that influence the female academics to engage in academic entrepreneurship (AE). The extant literature, which seeks to understand the female academics engagement in AE, mostly revolves around a gender comparative lens, where women entrepreneurs are understood only in comparison with men. This study examines the association between female AE and the level of asymmetry between the micro, meso and macro level factors (5M framework).

The acknowledgement that entrepreneurship is crucial for economic and social development drives a growing number of educational programs that focus on a wide range of audiences. Nevertheless, some communities are less receptive to entrepreneurship education than others, which hurts the economic potential of their members. This paper focuses on the community of artists, whose members rarely self-identify as entrepreneurs, despite the many similarities between entrepreneurship and artistic careers. This has triggered the creation of educational programs offered by arts incubators aiming to increase the entrepreneurial mindset and awareness among artists. The novelty of these programs explains the absence of metrics to measure the efficacy of their educational offerings on the entrepreneurial awareness among artists. This study proposes a new methodology to assess the impact of arts incubators’ entrepreneurial programs. Based on social theory, the methodology measures the awareness through the analysis of social media posts of incubatees and influencers who graduated from arts incubator programs. The results provide evidence that social media influencers (SMIs) and incubatees do not engage in entrepreneurial-related discussions, thus suggesting that arts entrepreneurship-centric programs are not effective in raising entrepreneurial awareness among artists. The results and implications of these findings are discussed.

This study explores the barriers and challenges faced by Saudi women entrepreneurs along with the motivational forces that drives them towards entrepreneurship. This study employs a qualitative research design, and is based on the interview of 11 Saudi women entrepreneurs and includes a review of data on the motivational factors and challenges faced by them using interpretative phenomenological analysis. Research participants’ perspectives have been quoted for each distinct theme that emerged from the interview finding. The factors motivating Saudi women towards entrepreneurship have been identified as passion, identification of opportunity, dissatisfaction and family support. Barriers that are exclusive to Saudi women entrepreneurs are difficulty in maintaining work-life balance, lack of business networking, limited access to financial resources, lack of understanding of business-related tasks and functions, fear of deception, lack of trust, reservation about work-related travel, recruitment and training issues like lack of experienced and trained Saudi workers and negative attitude and non-willingness to work under female leadership. Decision-makers in government and other relevant organisations can develop a solid framework of focussed agendas, policies and measures to address the barriers identified in this study. Arab countries especially Saudi Arabia can use these results to fully utilise the entrepreneurial skills of Saudi women to boost economic growth and development. This pioneering study reveals the intricacy of Saudi women entrepreneurs’ experiences in the presence of gender-bias and internalising socio-cultural values and attributed gender roles during the formation of their entrepreneurial identities through a unique non-western viewpoint.

Despite a rise in interest in software start-ups, most entrepreneurs struggle to find their footing and eventually fail. Novice entrepreneurs could benefit from a tailored process-driven experience for business model (BM) development, which would take the end user from conception to realisation. This research uncovers if a process-based experience could help entrepreneurs develop BMs and aid in documenting and presenting the outcome. This work discusses the efficacy of the Blitz Canvas model for BM generation using an application called iVenture, which is designed as a digital realisation of the said model. The model is shown to students at a university who have expressed interest in building their own start-ups. Qualitative data was collected in the form of feedback around their BM development experience, when using iVenture. Analysis of data showed potential for process-based models in BM development and a future for BM dashboards as online tools for planning and presentation.

This study combines the concept of trigger points, events preceding bursts of growth, with a linguistic approach to show how firm growth unfolds through a process of translation. By marrying theories and methods rooted in the linguistic turn with firm growth theories, this study brings new insights on growth contributing to both the advancement of the trigger point concept and the wider understanding of entrepreneurial activities as complex and contextually bound processes dependent on human interaction. In doing so, the study also adheres to the current demand for advancing firm growth theory by relaxing the outcome-focussed approach and static life-cycle paradigm, and complementing it with alternative theoretical and methodological perspectives.
