Despite their innovation practices, Latin American companies seem to show low levels of corporate entrepreneurship. More research on corporate practices directed at infusing an entrepreneurial climate in the region is needed. This study draws on a recent theory that brings together configuration theory with prior corporate entrepreneurship conceptualizations. With this study, the authors test whether innovation training programs increase the entrepreneurial climate of multinational corporations from Latin American emerging markets. The authors of this study collected data from a sample of 2,796 employees of a Colombian multinational, divided into two groups of trained and untrained staff. They hypothesise that the corporate entrepreneurship climate would be higher in the trained group. They specify and validate a series of multigroup structural equation models to test their hypothesis. The results of this study suggest that some dimensions of entrepreneurial climate are higher when companies implement innovation programs.

Global environmental crises, geopolitical tensions, and the emergence of new technologies are compelling businesses to adapt to changes. This article delves into strategies employed by Chinese entrepreneurs seeking to create and develop sustainable products and markets by using bio-engineering and digital technologies as a ‘new generation’ of appropriate technologies. The article uses case studies to illustrate that these sophisticated technologies are large scale, both in geographical coverage and numbers of users. Their growing accessibility, often at relatively low costs, to large populations, raises ethical concerns, as deployment may precede a comprehensive understanding or regulation of their applications. The analytical focus shifts from merely evaluating the impact of these technologies on development and poverty alleviation, as traditionally associated with appropriate technologies, to scrutinizing businesses’ accountability for their ethical use and control. Consequently, appropriate technologies should be redefined for the 21st century: ‘broad and bold’, as well as ‘small’, may also be beautiful.

The discourse revolving around technology for sustainable development is a persistent centre of discussion and debate in both developed and developing economies. Considering ‘the appropriate technology model’ as a relevant model of technological development in developing economies like India and China, this article highlights how much India has influenced both the concept and practice of appropriate technological development. This article contributes an extensive literature overview to understand the relationship between frugal innovation (FI; termed Jugaad innovations in some South Asian countries) and sustainability. Applying the ‘lead market theory’ as a theoretical framework and using various examples, an attempt has been made to establish the nature of the association between them. These objectives are aimed at understanding India’s position and potential in the market for FIs. The article addresses issues that connect and combine the underlying drivers of technology and sustainability in the context of FIs.

According to the United Nations Development Program, the Agenda for Sustainable Development Goals projects by 2030 is improving human well-being over the world by eliminating poverty, creating gender equality, preserving the environment, helping shared growth, as well as involving people at the core of the sustainable development Agenda. Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is in a fragile state where its legitimacy is threatened by the war in the east of the country, the destruction of social capital and social cohesion as well as the severe economic challenges which have been amplified with the political context. Nationally, this Agenda constitutes a real opportunity to accelerate the implementation of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in the fields of health, education and public services in this country. This article shows how to turn the ICTs adapted for DRC into business opportunities and how various types of entrepreneurship can be implemented at the local and national levels, with a particular focus on medical drones. The article also proposes the guidelines to be followed for the success of such experiences both in the private and public sectors, as well as in international partnerships between developed, emerging and developing countries.

The advent of advanced frugal products has paved the way for gearing engineering and its constituents for frugality from here onwards. Therefore, frugal engineering (FE) is accomplished by setting constraints on both material consumption and cost at all stages of product development. This article expounds on the entrepreneurship that will be unleashed by relevant entities, companies and countries embracing FE. The features of advanced frugal products that positively influence quality, resources and cost will have serious ramifications for entrepreneurs of all stripes. This article describes the challenges faced by entrepreneurs of small and midsize businesses (SMBs) in going frugal and some possible solutions. Large enterprises (LEs) have also been studied for the impact of their ample resources on the effective creation of advanced frugal innovations (AFIs). Although LEs can utilise the ample resources at their disposal for effective implementation of FE of advanced frugal products, SMBs can use the natural scarcity to their advantage. Overall, this article establishes the need for entrepreneurs to become knowledgeable about science, technology and other knowledge areas. Such awareness in this age of climate change will greatly help entrepreneurs in maximum leveraging of science for the creation and diffusion of advanced frugal products. Large-scale entrepreneurial activity with AFIs will greatly aid in finding sustainable solutions to the various challenges thrown by climate change and other crises.

The contribution of Northern technologies to solving problems in the South is widely studied. However, the dissemination of these technologies in the South is rarely seen as a legitimacy issue. This paper aims to understand how the legitimacy of a new venture is created in an emerging field, considering the indeterminate and unstable nature of the entrepreneurial process. To explore this avenue, we conducted a qualitative study around a unique case: Cyberlibris, a young company operating in the field of e-books, an emerging field within the book industry in the early 2000s. This study suggests that the process of legitimation of a disruptive technology-based innovation carried out by a newcomer is constituted by a tangle of tests, a notion borrowed from pragmatic sociology, but tests change with respect to demands by African schools. First, we highlight three tests within the legitimacy process in the French context (revenue model, publisher conservatism and reading practice changes). These tests are experienced by adapting to the African context. We discuss the paradox between legitimacy and domination in technology appropriation processes.

Appropriate technology and development have been disseminated globally as a concept and practice under various terminologies such as adaptive technology, accessible and cheap technology, community technology, low-cost technology, intermediary technology, and so on, especially for grassroots community development. Originating from Gandhi’s anti-colonial campaigns and further expanded by Schumacher’s ideas, the concept gained momentum with the rise of emerging economies such as Brazil, China, India and South Africa. These countries embraced appropriate technology, offering affordable, user-friendly solutions that matched local needs and resources, contrasting with capital-intensive methods. The digital revolution in the twenty-first century further diversified appropriate technology, permitting the widespread adoption of affordable and sustainable solutions across sectors and nations. This study also explores how emerging economies transitioned from being viewed as low-tech suppliers to becoming innovators in high-tech spheres. These emerging economies have developed localised research and development centres, embraced open science and technology collaboration and engaged in reverse technology entrepreneurship by adapting and exporting technology-driven products to developing and developed countries. Furthermore, frugal innovation arises as a response to pressing sustainability challenges. It encourages simple, environmentally friendly designs that promote longevity and efficient resource practice. From its very beginnings and even more today, innovation in appropriate/frugal technologies has continued to make clear contributions to various forms of entrepreneurship for sustainable development. The study concludes that proper technology and frugal innovation are becoming global norms, endorsed by G7, G20 and United Nations member states, as they address economic and sustainable development goals, ultimately benefitting a broader spectrum of societies globally.

In Northern Haiti, a unique experience has been developed and an innovation hub has been realised; the core of this is a City of Knowledge that is articulated around an entrepreneurial university, the Institute of Science, Technology and Graduate Studies of Haiti (ISTEAH). Spread over seven departments in the country, as its name suggests, ISTEAH is a technological university that seeks to put science and technology at the service of development by training citizens, leaders and innovators who can promote the advancement of the country. Resolutely turning towards entrepreneurship, this university is in the process of setting up an entire entrepreneurial ecosystem centred around an incubator-accelerator to create—with students, graduates and young people from around the country—technological and social enterprises to generate value, create wealth and jobs and support sustainable development. In this article, this experiment and its perspectives are analysed in light of the sustainable development goals.

The complex adaptive systems that produce and sustain local innovation and entrepreneurship in particular geographic contexts are known as local innovation systems and entrepreneurial systems and, from a perspective informed by ecology, as local innovation and entrepreneurial ecosystems. Over the past decade, scholars and practitioners have increasingly focused on clarifying what these systems are and why they are important for local and regional economic development. There is relatively scant scholarship, however, focused on describing how to strengthen these systems, in terms of specific processes for developing missing or weak system components, improving the relationships between components and clarifying the purpose of the system. This paper describes an approach to innovation ecosystem strengthening developed from case studies of successful sustainability-oriented entrepreneurial ecosystems in the United States, and how this approach was adapted and applied to an online ecosystem-strengthening process in Accra, Ghana. Drawing on programmatic data and a post-project survey, we find that the approach achieved its primary objective of developing and launching an ecosystem-strengthening initiative, indicating its applicability beyond the context in which it was developed. However, we also identify that ecosystem capacity strengthening effects were weaker than predicted and conclude that this type of ecosystem-strengthening process is best suited to in-person work.

Organizational citizenship behavior is critical since employees with a high level of it are considered to be more innovate, provide their best service, and can create a comfortable atmosphere in the organization. Moreover, organizations that have employees with high levels of organizational citizenship behavior will tend to have high performance and more easily achieve organizational goals. This research aims to empirically examine the relationship between organizational climate, personality, and job satisfaction variables with organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) of functional employees of Immigration Office. This research uses job satisfaction as an intervening variable. This research is sequential explanatory, which combining qualitative and quantitative analysis. The sample in this research was selected using a proportional random sampling method with a total of 268 respondents. The data collection was conducted by distributing questionnaires, focus group discussions (FGD), and triangulation of human resource experts. The results shows that organizational climate, personality, and job satisfaction have a positive and significant influence on OCB. In addition, the results also indicated that the role of job satisfaction variables as intervening was not significant in influencing the relationship between organizational climate and personality to improve the OCB.
