Antecedents of international entrepreneurship and emerging technologies help to achieve sustainable development goals: Moderating role of global mindset

2015 witnessed the introduction of the sustainable development goals (SDGs) by the United Nations (UN). Few studies have been conducted on emerging technologies for international entrepreneurship, how these technologies are developed across sectors, or how they can enhance the global sustainability of businesses to support the 2030 sustainable agenda. Therefore, his study investigates the impact of antecedents of international entrepreneurship on the SDGs through the mediating role of emerging technologies, with a precise focus on the moderating role of a global mindset. Data was collected through a cross-sectional approach from 484 entrepreneurs in China. Collected data were analyzed using PLS-SEM techniques on the statistical software SmartPLS 4. The study findings reveal that key antecedents of international entrepreneurship significantly influence the SDGs. Moreover, emerging technologies act as a significant mediator between international entrepreneurship antecedents and SDGs. Additionally, a global mindset among entrepreneurs is found to be a significant moderator between emerging technologies and SDGs. This study adds to the existing literature by presenting empirical evidence on the interconnections between international entrepreneurship, emerging technologies, and sustainable organizational development. The implications of this study offer valuable understandings for entrepreneurs aiming to enhance their organizations' sustainable development through innovative and entrepreneurial initiatives.
