The number of women entrepreneurs has increased significantly over the past years. However, literature suggests that women from STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) fields are inadequately represented in this growing trend. Meanwhile, the circumstances which cause this underrepresentation have not yet been sufficiently analyzed. To help fill this gap, this paper focuses on women’s entrepreneurship in specific educational and country contexts, acknowledging that relations between these factors play a crucial role in entrepreneurship. By means of an explorative approach, 21 interviews with seven STEM educated women entrepreneurs from Denmark, Latvia and Turkey have been conducted and analyzed with a qualitative content analysis. The results show the main motivations, challenges, and support sources for the women entrepreneurs, and provide important advice for future women entrepreneurs as well as for policy makers to increase the number of STEM educated women on the national level.

The main aim of this study was to investigate the effect of start-up and managerial experience on the quality of business plans proposed by entrepreneurs applying for external angel investment. Using the Business model canvas method as a criterion, a quantitative content analysis of 310 business plan proposals was conducted in order to evaluate the ability of entrepreneurs to define the most important dimensions of a business plan. The results showed a positive effect of start-up experience and a non-significant effect of managerial experience on the quality of business plan proposals. It was shown that when defining more complex and dynamic dimensions of a business plan, a U-shaped relation between start-up experience and the quality of a business plan existed. Furthermore, we found that the quality of a business plan partially mediated the relation between prior experience and the acceptance of a business plan in an investor's first prescreen evaluation.

The main aim of this paper is to explore how these 3D printing enthusiasts make sense of their 3D printing activities online and offline, and how these activities can be explained in terms of the theoretical concepts user innovation and user entrepreneurship. This paper builds on an in-depth interview study and reveals four ideal types (Halkier, 2011) of 3D printing enthusiasts: Entrepreneurial, hobby, individual, and sharing. Based on the theoretical concepts of user innovation and user entrepreneurship, the four ideal types of 3D printing enthusiasts show varying degrees of willingness to engage in 3D communities and disseminate their ideas and innovations beyond inhouse or in-community use. We contribute to user innovation and user entrepreneurship research by highlighting 3D printing enthusiasts as a specific group of user innovators/entrepreneurs with characteristics especially favourable to the diffusion of their ideas, designs, and innovations peer-to-peer or commercially.

Studies of exploration and exploitation strategies in small or medium-sized enterprise (SME) firms highlight resource scarcity as a critical issue. Imperatively, SME firms need to allocate their scarce resources efficiently in order to implement exploration and/or exploitation strategies. However, studies of resource allocation between exploration and exploitation strategies in SME family firms are limited. The main objective of this research, in the context of SME family firms, is to explore the types of resources allocated between exploration and/or exploitation strategies and what circumstances both strategies can be implemented. The nature of a family firm, known as 'familiness', provides an opportunity to further investigate this unique resource. This research utilises a case study methodology and a Malaysian SME family firm is selected due to its importance in terms of economic and social development. The study found that the abilities and familiness of a family firm are the main factors in allocating resources for exploration and exploitation strategies. In fact, cultural differences between the first and second generation have an impact on the engagement of the firm with respect to exploration and exploitation strategies. The result enhances the understanding of resource allocation and enriches the theories in studies of family firms.

The market-enabling capability of government is featured in an industry analysis capturing the transformation of marine fishing to aquaculture in ways that require changes to the law and regulations, as well as private venturing initiatives. Private initiatives for innovation in the aquaculture industry are essential because of the variety of species available for a sophisticated market and a preference for seafood. Government-as-enabler for species development and product differentiation of products locally-produced as a complementary input is also important. Structural changes have been shown to be essential for ventures and entrepreneurship and can contribute to the establishment of a public-private partnership (PPP) for a Schumpeterian type of innovation. The study is another illustration of the 4th Coase Theorem.
