ENTREPRENEURSHIP IN THE INFORMATION SOCIETY
2015
Entrepreneurship started to be recognized during the French monarch Louis XIV who stated that "the bourgeois and the craftsmen will become the artisans of richness". Several national and international institutions whose main activity was the study of environment and entrepreneurial behavior defined the entrepreneurship in the following manner: "An entrepreneur is a person who, based on certain contractual clauses and conditions, undertakes to execute for another person and organizations, various works (industrial, constructions, etc.) in the exchange of a previously established reward".
Profilo Strategico e scelte innovative nelle imprese del settore manifatturiero siciliano
2013
In 1959, Penrose highlighted how the firm's organisation of economic activity is based on its perception about the adjustment of production to the market, more than on objective evaluation. So, she underlined not just the importance to identify the nature of the determinants about firm behaviour, but also how the assessment of these factors must consider the production context where they originate. Now, this context for Penrose has to be considered as an image in the mind of the entrepreneur of the possibilities and restrictions of the market. In line with this view, and with the recent approach to innovation policies, this work analyses the survey data collected in 2008 on the innovation n…
The incubation process for the creation of viable firms: the case of ARCA Consortium
2015
The aim of this study is to demonstrate that academic incubators play a key role in firm viability. This study develops a new analytic systemic framework that reveals the processes and factors that determine the effectiveness of the incubation process supported by university incubators. We analyse the effectiveness of the incubation process in the incubator of the ARCA Consortium by means of a single case study with an embedded design. In this study, adopting a systemic perspective, we shift the focus from the firm to the context, shedding light on the systemic actions that create the prerequisite conditions for the achievement of the firms’ viability.
Externalidades de la inversión directa exterior sobre la actividad emprendedora local : un enfoque institucional en Latinoamérica
2013
Externalidades de la Inversión Directa Exterior sobre la actividad emprendedora local: Un enfoque institucional en Latinoamérica RESUMEN Cada vez es más prolífero el avance de la investigación académica de economistas y analistas políticos, sobre el papel que desempeñan las empresas multinacionales (MNE) en el desarrollo de las economías emergentes. Sin embargo, la contribución de los académicos en negocios internacionales en este sentido es algo escasa, especialmente considerando la importancia que su aporte puede significar en la materia. Surge entonces, el reto de profundizar y contribuir desde esa disciplina al debate actual, y el presente trabajo, propone abordarlo desde una perspectiv…

Conventional Theory’s Relevance: Evidence from Japan
2019
Abstract The formidable surge in the volume of international trade after 1960 stimulated surveys designed to ascertain to what degree the commercial flows among nations reflected the structure of their economies, in other words, how tight was the correlation between international exchanges and the specific attributes of participating nations. In fact, scholars were keen to test the relevance of the conventional Heckscher-Ohlin theory, that is, to what extent did nations’ exports reflect their endowment with factors of production, more specifically, whether their exports used their abundant factors intensively. I try to show that, although most of the tests reached their purpose in that they…
Family Business and Habitual Entrepreneurship : Differences and Similarities
2008
This study examines the prevalence of different types of entrepreneurs in the context of family business. In previous studies the family entrepreneurs have been seen loyal to their original firm, whereas relinquishing a firm is substantially connected to the habitual entrepreneurs. It may be one reason why these entrepreneurial dimensions have not been largely connected in previous studies. However, this does not mean that habitual entrepreneurship would not exist in family business. Thus the aim of this study is to explore the connections between habitual entrepreneurship and family business by examining, firstly, how many family entrepreneurs there are among portfolio, serial and first-ti…
The Experiential Perceptions of Entrepreneurial Competencies : Avenues for the Next-Generation Entrepreneurship Education
2023
AbstractThis self-narrative study on entrepreneurial competencies was conducted among potential next-generation members belonging to entrepreneurial families. As public university bachelor students, self-narratives written by the students themselves do not reflect just perceptions of entrepreneurial competencies in the context of business families but also in the context of higher education. The conceptual advancement of this paper focuses on extending the discussion of entrepreneurial experience-based competencies before designing and launching a venture, such as creativity, innovativeness, risk-taking, sales, and marketing.
