Understanding Policy Entrepreneurship in Public Policy of Iran: A Phenomenographic Study https://lnkd.in/dGexgVvJ Authors: Ali Hamidizadeh Hassan Danaeefard Reza Eshgarf 1 Department of Public administration, University of Tehran, college of Farabi, Qom, Iran 2 Department of Public Administration, Faculty of Management and Economics, Tarbiat Modares University, Tehran, Iran Abstract: This study has been conducted to explore, understand and categorize policy entrepreneurship to achieve a deeper understanding of this phenomenon. The research strategy adopted was phenomenography, and the data collection instrument was the semi-structured interview. To select the participants, the maximum variation and snowball sampling methods were used. The sample size was determined through the principle of theoretical saturation, resulting in 20 participants. Consequently, 20 people were interviewed who had hands-on experience with policy entrepreneurship and their contributions to policy innovations in 11 policies. The results indicated that there exist six descriptive categories in policy entrepreneurship, namely "creating innovative ideas", "making the innovative idea understood", "promoting the innovative idea", "persuading the institutional structure", "mainstreaming based on the innovative idea", and "monitoring the implementation of innovative policy". Based on the identified descriptive categories, the outcome space of policy entrepreneurship was formed, and its hierarchical model was presented. Keywords: Policy entrepreneurship Public policy Phenomenography

The article that Dr. Andrei Raymund Relente and I worked on, "Innovation self-efficacy, theory of planned behavior, and entrepreneurial intentions: The perspective of young Filipinos", is now available for download in the Asia Pacific Management Review website. Abstract: Entrepreneurship is essential to a country's economic growth and development. One way to achieve these objectives is to encourage entrepreneurial behavior among young people, especially students. Successful entrepreneurship requires innovative individuals to make contributions to the economy and to society. As more young Filipinos engage in entrepreneurship and exhibit entrepreneurial skills, it is necessary to know and understand the factors that contribute to their decisions and their confidence in their ability to perform innovation-related tasks, among others. This study integrated the multidimensional construct innovation self-efficacy (ISE), entrepreneurial self-efficacy (ESE), and entrepreneurial knowledge (EK) into the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) to determine the influence of these variables on the entrepreneurial intentions (EI) of young Filipino students. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was employed to test the empirical validity and reliability of the measurement model, and structural equation modeling (SEM) was applied to test the hypothesized relationships of the proposed framework. The results show that ISE, attitude toward entrepreneurship (ATE), and perceived behavioral control (PBC) exert significant positive influences on EI. Although subjective norms (SN), ESE, and EK do not significantly influence EI, these variables influence at least one of the antecedents of EI. Moreover, the hypothesized factors of ISE proved to be statistically sound measures, with Observing being the most empirically powerful of the five. The implications for both theory and practice were explored, and potential avenues for further investigation were outlined. https://lnkd.in/gmA6xq-N

Very happy to see an article navigating a few years in the revision pipe line finally accepted at the Entrepreneurship Research Journal (ABS rank) - https://lnkd.in/eSFdqAuh. "Toward a Context-Driven Entrepreneurial Education — Entrepreneurial Intention Determinants in Emerging Markets: Findings from Malaysia" Thanks to all coauthors involved in the process in order (publication available soon): Markos Kyritsis Mior Harun Julie Roberts (PhD, SFHEA) Wadzanai Garwe Konstantinos T. Abstract: Irrespective of support or opportunities, evidence suggests that most higher education business students in emerging markets are still primarily guided reactively (out of personal need or temporarily) into for-profit entrepreneurship rather than through personal incentive raising doubts on the impact of University entrepreneurial push strategies and programmes. We address the lack of meso level quantitative studies and propose a new student-related context sensitive conceptual model for student entrepreneurial intention in emerging markets exploring the extent to which a context-based and feasibility-oriented conceptual model is required. We propose the components Risk and Innovation, Autonomy, National norms and number of languages spoken all affect entrepreneurial intention. Furthermore, we suggest that education has a moderating effect overall and more so on the risk and innovation component. Our theoretical framework was partially supported as we show compelling evidence that risk and innovation, autonomy, and languages spoken have a significant effect on student entrepreneurial intention. The results indicate that conceptual frameworks differ by context and entrepreneurship education in emerging markets is contingent on specific human capital of students but can be stimulated through improving cognitive institutional structures and curricula focusing on context and attitudes towards risk taking.

Entrepreneurial and Intrapreneurial Intentions: The Role of Access to Resources and Individual Entrepreneurial Orientation PURPOSE: This study investigates the relationship between access to resources and entrepreneurial and intrapreneurial intentions, considering the mediating role of individual entrepreneurial orientation. DESIGN/METHODOLOGY/APPROACH: The data from 788 individuals in Bosnia and Herzegovina (B&H) were collected using an online questionnaire. To test hypotheses, structural equation modelling was performed. FINDINGS: The findings indicate support for the relationship between access to resources and entrepreneurial and intrapreneurial intentions. In addition, the mediating role of individual entrepreneurial orientation was partially supported. RESEARCH LIMITATIONS/IMPLICATIONS: Three main limitations constrain this study: cross-sectional data collected using snowball sampling, measuring access to capital by only two dimensions, and not controlling for specifics of different populations. However, the research is still valuable and suggests ways for improvement for institutions and agencies in B&H that provide formal and non-formal education, and policy-makers. ORIGINALITY: The study contributes to the literature by taking a combined environmental and individual factors approach in investigating entrepreneurial and intrapreneurial intentions in a unique context of Bosnia and Herzegovina. KEYWORDS: Entrepreneurial Intention; Intrapreneurial Intention; Access to Resources; Individual Entrepreneurial Orientation; Bosnia and Herzegovina https://lnkd.in/grScs2Ab

Entrepreneurship doesn’t always operate within the boundaries of legality or ethics. The concept of “Dark Entrepreneurship” explores how illicit practices, regulatory gray areas, and ethically questionable activities intersect with entrepreneurial ecosystems. This perspective seeks not to glorify such dynamics but to understand their social, economic, and regulatory implications. In this regard, the New England Journal of Entrepreneurship stands out as a leading platform for publishing literature reviews on cutting-edge topics in entrepreneurship studies. Its commitment to academic rigor and exploration of emerging areas provides an invaluable resource for mapping innovative concepts and fostering critical debate. I encourage the academic and professional community to reflect on how these critical approaches can help shape more inclusive and responsible policies and strategies in entrepreneurship. What’s your take on the impact of activities outside the norm on entrepreneurial ecosystems? Share your thoughts!

This PDW will draw on history in two ways to consider how we might study business and organization during such a moment of fundamental socioeconomic transformation. First, it will consider how historical research addresses the problem of observation during periods of fundamental transformation. Second, we consider how historical methods have been used to observe transformation in the past and how they might be used to do so today. Specifically, we consider methods of “play” and “microhistory” as appropriate for observation in the context of transformation. 🎙️ 𝐏𝐚𝐧𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐬 Jerry Davis, University of Michigan (Co-chair) Dan Wadhwani, University of Southern California (Co-chair) Lena Olaison, Copenhagen Business School Christina Lubinski, Copenhagen Business School Andrew Hargadon, UC Davis Stephen Cummings, Victoria University of Wellington 📩 For more information: Dan Wadhwani, DWADHWANI@MARSHALL.USC.EDU 2️⃣ 𝐄𝐦𝐩𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 & 𝐌𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐝𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐄𝐱𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐎𝐟 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐈𝐧 𝐅𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐲 𝐁𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 & 𝐄𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡 There have been intriguing developments in how the past can be explored in management and organization studies.

The intention is to expose these studies as viable and exciting sites for current research and to demonstrate how research about the past can help illustrate new findings and theoretical developments in family business and entrepreneurship. 🎙️ 𝐏𝐚𝐧𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐬 William M.

2024 TCU Global University Entrepreneurship Research Productivity Rankings Released! The latest TCU Global University Entrepreneurship Research Productivity Rankings are now available, highlighting the leading institutions in the field. These rankings are determined by publications at the Journal of Business Venturing, Entrepreneurship Theory and Practice, and Strategic Entrepreneurship Journal over the prior five-year period (2019-2023). The rankings represent the degree to which universities and business schools have invested in thought leadership relating to entrepreneurship. For example, five of the top 10 universities have dedicated departments or units specifically focused on entrepreneurship. Curious about how these entrepreneurship journals compare to top-tier journals in other business disciplines? Using the elite journals selected to represent each business discipline in the UTD Top 100 Business School Research Rankings, here is how the top entrepreneurship journals (JBV, ETP, and SEJ) stack up in terms of average citation impact over the same five-year period used to calculate the current entrepreneurship research productivity rankings: Business Discipline          JCR 5-year Impact Factor Management                                  12.46 Entrepreneurship                            11.13 Finance                                           10.30 Marketing                                        9.10 Accounting                                      7.80 Information Systems                     6.93 Operations Management             6.24 Notably, there was remarkable consistency in the citation impact of the top-3 entrepreneurship journals over this period (5-year citation impact: JBV = 11.1, ETP = 11.3, SEJ = 11.0). This provides evidence for the coherence of elite-level impact made by this set of journals. #Entrepreneurship #Research #UniversityRankings #ThoughtLeadership
