This article draws attention to emotion in sensemaking within small entrepreneurial organisations. More specifically, it illustrates how performed emotion is related to enactment of a formative context, sensemaking and agency. The article also enriches the critical sensemaking heuristic by exploring a conversation between a leader and employees concerning adoption of a new online service. The analysis is based on videotaped data gathered from a two-year study of a franchise-based rental and real estate company. The contributions of the article are two-fold: 1) it argues that performed emotions are important because they may have an influence on the sensemaking of others and the possibility of exercising agency; 2) it demonstrates that videotaped material is a fertile source of data for studies on critical sensemaking in small entrepreneurial organisations.
这篇文章引起了人们对小型创业组织中情感语义的关注。更具体地说,它说明了所表现的情感是如何与形成性语境的制定、意义制造和代理相关的。本文还通过探讨领导者和员工之间关于采用新的在线服务的对话,丰富了关键意义的启发式。该分析基于对一家特许经营的租赁和房地产公司进行的为期两年的研究中收集的录像数据。这篇文章的贡献有两个方面:1)它认为表现出来的情绪很重要,因为它们可能对他人的理解和行使代理的可能性产生影响;2)它表明,视频材料是研究小型创业组织中关键意义构建的丰富数据来源。

We examine the question of what factors might be likely to increase the probability of success for entrepreneurial activity by FIEs and domestic firms in China. We first examine the possibility of there being a distinct and separate notion of Chinese entrepreneurship but find that unlikely. The issue then becomes what contextual factors may be necessary to enable entrepreneurial activity in China to flourish and we locate four such factors. We acknowledge that our posited set of necessary factors is probably not a sufficient set but they are at the minimum a useful starting point.
我们研究了哪些因素可能会增加中国外商投资企业和国内公司创业活动成功的可能性。我们首先考察了中国企业家精神存在一个独特和独立概念的可能性,但发现这种可能性不大。那么问题就变成了什么背景因素可能是使中国的创业活动蓬勃发展所必需的,我们找到了四个这样的因素。我们承认,我们假定的一组必要因素可能不是一个充分的集合,但它们至少是一个有用的起点。

The innerwear industry is one of the less researched businesses in India and is dealt as niche vertical of apparel industry. For the yesteryear's customers, buying innerwear was a covert and backroom affair but globalisation, internet and bright entrepreneurial ideas have changed the trajectory. Taking leverage of changing industry dynamics, a budding entrepreneur – Pallavi Khandelwal dared to step into this less explored territory. She banked upon her entrepreneurial skills and strategic decision-making for creating an identity through her internet-based startup to optimise the opportunity and defy the challenges of online business arena. The case serves as the setup to elaborate the aspirations and obstacles confronted by a budding entrepreneur. It provides perfect background to understand how strategic options, resource requirements and critical success factors (CSFs) undergo transformation with the different stages of business life cycle. Industry analysis conducted through references gathered from various reports by business consultancies, industry players, and whitepapers written on this field accompanied an in-depth personal interview with the protagonist Pallavi Khandelwal for establishing facts and data used in the case. Literature review and academic experience of authors are steered to establish the theoretical underpinning of the case.
内衣行业是印度研究较少的业务之一,被视为服装行业的垂直细分市场。对于过去的消费者来说,购买内衣是一件隐秘而不为人知的事情,但全球化、互联网和聪明的创业理念改变了这一轨迹。利用不断变化的行业动态,崭露头角的企业家帕拉维·坎德尔瓦尔(Pallavi Khandelwal)敢于踏入这个较少探索的领域。她依靠自己的创业技能和战略决策,通过自己的互联网创业公司创造了自己的身份,以优化机会,迎接在线商业领域的挑战。这个案例作为一个背景,阐述了一个崭露头角的企业家所面临的愿望和障碍。它为理解战略选择、资源需求和关键成功因素(csf)如何随着业务生命周期的不同阶段而发生转变提供了完美的背景。通过从商业咨询公司、行业参与者和该领域撰写的白皮书的各种报告中收集的参考资料进行行业分析,并对主角Pallavi Khandelwal进行了深入的个人采访,以确定案例中使用的事实和数据。通过文献综述和作者的学术经验,建立案例的理论基础。

This article explores the university spin-off financing process through the experiences of the managers who act as surrogate entrepreneurs in these companies. Based on narrative interviews, managers' experiences of the financing process were analysed through a meta-micro-narrative approach. The findings highlight how managers' micro-narratives, based on local understandings of the values, roles and contributions of investors during different funding cycles, construct alternatives to the 'ideal' funding process represented by the meta-narrative. The findings contribute to the discussion of entrepreneurial and spin-off finance by illuminating the entrepreneurs' perspective.
本文通过这些公司中作为代理企业家的管理者的经验,探讨了大学分拆融资的过程。在叙述性访谈的基础上,采用元微观叙述的方法分析了管理者在融资过程中的经历。研究结果强调了管理者的微观叙事是如何基于当地对投资者在不同融资周期中的价值观、角色和贡献的理解,构建以元叙事为代表的“理想”融资过程的替代方案的。研究结果通过阐明企业家的观点,有助于讨论创业和衍生金融。

Various researches have added up productive insights on user's motivation and psychology behind online video sharing. Given that sharing involves communication and other related factors, this study aims to investigate the user's communication needs and personality traits working behind sharing online videos in an offline platform. Given the popularity, YouTube was chosen for investigating the above research objective. With a differential approach, this study has employed social network analysis to understand the communication diffusion through quasi-experiment methodology. Three video genres-blocks; movie review videos, sports videos and music videos were chosen to understand the difference among the network structures. Further, personality of test units (five-factor model) and their communication factors (expertise, trustworthiness, attractiveness, social tie and homophily) are keyed out through the measures of eigenvector centrality, betweenness centrality and closeness centrality from the three network structures. The results indicated that the central units of movie reviews and music videos exhibited an extrovert personality; on the other hand, the central units from sports videos displayed an openness trait. Alongside the results of personality, it was understood that social tie, homophily and trustworthiness happen to be the most influencing factors in the communication diffusion of movie reviews, sports and music videos respectively.
各种研究已经积累了关于在线视频共享背后用户动机和心理的富有成效的见解。鉴于共享涉及沟通和其他相关因素,本研究旨在调查用户在离线平台上分享在线视频背后的沟通需求和个性特征。鉴于其受欢迎程度,选择YouTube来调查上述研究目标。本研究采用差分方法,通过准实验方法,运用社会网络分析来理解传播扩散。三个视频类型块;选择电影评论视频、体育视频和音乐视频来了解网络结构之间的差异。此外,通过对三种网络结构的特征向量中心性、介数中心性和接近中心性的测量,筛选出测试单元的个性(五因素模型)及其沟通因素(专业知识、可信度、吸引力、社会关系和同质性)。结果表明,电影评论和音乐视频的中心单元表现出外向的个性;另一方面,体育视频中的中心单元表现出开放性特征。除了个性的结果外,社会纽带、同性恋和可信度恰好是影评、体育和音乐视频传播扩散的最大影响因素。

Solidarity economy is a social construction based on a social movement. This paper investigates the relationship between the principles of complexity and the generation of social capital in the solidarity economy enterprises and how network strategy affects this relationship. The data were collected through a national survey of 11,138 enterprises in Brazil and analysed statistically by a multiple linear regression analysis. Findings reveal a positive and significant relation between the principles of complexity and the generation of social capital. The principle of self-management has a particular effect on social capital under the influence of networks leading the enterprises to empowerment and local development. Regarding the principles of cooperation and autonomy, they contribute more to the generation of social capital without the influence of networking. This could be explained according to a critical comprehension of some authors, who reflect that, as they become bigger, enterprise lose cooperation and autonomy. Despite that, there is a generation of social capital by self-management principle.
团结经济是建立在社会运动基础上的社会建设。本文研究了团结经济型企业复杂性原则与社会资本产生的关系,以及网络战略对这种关系的影响。数据通过对巴西11138家企业的全国调查收集,并通过多元线性回归分析进行统计分析。研究结果表明,复杂性原则与社会资本的产生之间存在显著的正相关关系。在网络的影响下,自我管理原则对社会资本具有特殊的作用,引导企业赋权和地方发展。在合作原则和自治原则方面,他们在没有网络影响的情况下更有助于社会资本的产生。这可以根据一些作者的批判性理解来解释,他们认为,随着企业变得更大,企业失去了合作和自主权。尽管如此,还是有一代社会资本以自我管理为原则。

Resilience and stress management are considered key factors for entrepreneurial success. In this research we propose that controlled, creative confrontation with adversity can help overcome stressful experience by fostering resilience. Our research is based on a neuronal network model that considers resilience in its relation to creativity. This model is applied to several cases at the UK hospice that successfully use art to deal with the stressful conditions of dying inpatients. On this background we outline the concept of 'Controlled Creative Confrontation' that harnesses the creativity-inherent potential for catalytic change to build resilience and permanently transform patient self-perception. This concept is illustrated in three exemplary cases of patients who successfully navigated their impending death by using art to confront, overcome and rebuild coping strategies in the face of ultimate adversity. Describing these cases, we acknowledge the specific aspects of resilience believed to be fostered by creativity. We conclude the research giving an outlook on suggested future studies providing quantitative support for and deeper insight into, the causal relationship between creativity and resilience and their impact on the success of entrepreneurial ventures.
韧性和压力管理被认为是创业成功的关键因素。在这项研究中,我们提出,在逆境中有控制的、创造性的对抗可以通过培养韧性来帮助克服压力。我们的研究基于神经元网络模型,该模型考虑了韧性与创造力的关系。该模型应用于英国临终关怀中心的几个案例,这些案例成功地利用艺术来应对垂死住院患者的压力状况。在此背景下,我们概述了“受控创造性对抗”的概念,该概念利用创造性内在的潜力进行催化改变,以建立韧性并永久改变患者的自我感知。这一概念在三个典型的患者案例中得到了说明,他们通过使用艺术面对、克服和重建面对最终逆境的应对策略,成功地度过了即将到来的死亡。在描述这些案例时,我们承认创造力所培养的韧性的具体方面。我们总结了这项研究,对建议的未来研究进行了展望,为创造力和韧性之间的因果关系及其对创业成功的影响提供了定量支持和更深入的见解。

The objective of this study is to verify whether an innovation strategy might offer a competitive advantage, even during periods of crisis, to a family business operating in the automotive sector. In addition, it was investigated if the company had modified its organisational structure to enhance strategy implementation. The research methodology first focused on a review of the international literature relevant to innovation in family businesses and the strategy-structure alignment. Then, a relevant Italian case study about a leader in the European vehicle-transport sector was selected and examined. In recent years, crisis has strongly affected this sector, increasing the average life of commercial vehicles. To survive and thrive over this period, in contrast with the behaviour of other companies, the family business owner adopted a proactive approach based on an innovation-focused strategy. This paper contributes to the expansion of the literature on innovation in family businesses and organisational structure.
本研究的目的是验证创新战略是否可以为汽车行业的家族企业提供竞争优势,即使在危机时期也是如此。此外,还调查了该公司是否修改了组织结构以加强战略实施。研究方法首先侧重于回顾与家族企业创新和战略结构调整相关的国际文献。然后,选择并审查了意大利关于欧洲汽车运输行业领导者的相关案例研究。近年来,危机严重影响了该行业,增加了商用车的平均寿命。为了在这一时期生存和繁荣,与其他公司的行为不同,家族企业主采取了基于创新战略的积极主动的方法。本文有助于扩展关于家族企业和组织结构创新的文献。

Companies operating in dynamic and rapidly changing markets need to design an organisational structure that fosters innovation. However, there are still remaining gaps in literature regarding the impact of organisational structure on the development of an environment that stimulates creativity and innovation. This paper analyses the influence of different dimensions of organisational structure on the development of a work environment for innovation. A case study with a mixed method approach was conducted in the Brazilian subsidiary of a multinational company recognised worldwide for its innovative capacity. The results contribute to the theory by showing that several structural dimensions – mainly the level of communication, level of formalisation and job codification – affect the work environment for innovation. The study also enriches the comprehension on how managers should design specific structural dimensions to stimulate creativity and innovation.
在充满活力和快速变化的市场中运营的公司需要设计一种促进创新的组织结构。然而,关于组织结构对激发创造力和创新的环境发展的影响,文献中仍然存在空白。本文分析了组织结构的不同维度对创新工作环境发展的影响。采用混合方法对一家跨国公司的巴西子公司进行了案例研究,该公司因其创新能力而享誉全球。研究结果表明,几个结构维度——主要是沟通水平、正规化水平和工作法制化水平——会影响创新的工作环境,从而为该理论做出了贡献。该研究也丰富了管理者如何设计特定的结构维度来激发创造力和创新的理解。

The study also enriches the comprehension on how managers should design specific structural dimensions to stimulate creativity and innovation.","PeriodicalId":52480,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Entrepreneurship and Innovation Management","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48345023","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}

Fast environmental changes have increased the importance of innovation for firms. In this sense, the national culture of innovation is an important factor to promote openness to innovation and improve a country's firms' innovation process. This research seeks to answer the following question: Does the support to innovate intensify the influence of the national cultural on firms' openness to innovation? The aim is to verify whether the relationship between national culture and openness to innovation is mediated by the support to innovate. Using a database from the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) composed by 2,636 companies and applying the structural equations modelling (SEM) technique, this study achieved contributions after testing some determinants for openness to innovation, revealing the importance of two prior aspects for openness to innovation: national culture and support to innovate. It also confirmed that support to innovate show notable effects improving the relationship between national culture and openness to innovation.
快速的环境变化增加了创新对企业的重要性。从这个意义上说,民族创新文化是促进创新开放和改善一个国家企业创新过程的重要因素。本研究试图回答以下问题:对创新的支持是否会加剧民族文化对企业创新开放性的影响?其目的是验证民族文化与创新开放之间的关系是否通过对创新的支持来调节。本研究使用由2636家公司组成的全球创业监测(GEM)数据库,并应用结构方程建模(SEM)技术,在测试了创新开放的一些决定因素后做出了贡献,揭示了创新开放前两个方面的重要性:民族文化和对创新的支持。研究还证实,对创新的支持在改善民族文化与创新开放之间的关系方面发挥了显著作用。
