For venturing into international markets, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) have not only emphasized internal resources but entrepreneurial orientation has also become the need of the day due to its significant role in increasing firm's competitive capabilities. Although research indicates that the competitive strategies can significantly impact export performance, minor attention is given to the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation, business competitive strategy and export performance of small and medium enterprises (SMEs). This study scrutinizes the effect of each dimension of entrepreneurial orientation (i.e., innovativeness, risk-taking, and proactiveness) and each of generic competitive strategies (i.e., cost leadership and differentiation) on the export performance of Chinese SMEs. And we investigated the moderating effect of entrepreneurial orientation on the relationship between the competitive strategies and export performance. We surveyed 217 Chinese SMEs through a structured questionnaire. For the data analysis and hypotheses testing, we used AMOS. 27. The findings display that differentiation and cost leadership strategies significantly improve export performance. The innovativeness, risk-taking and proactiveness also spur Chinese SME's export performance. Further we find that adding entrepreneurial orientation significantly improves our model of the relationship between the competitive strategies and export performance. Thus, our study extends the entrepreneurial orientation literature and provides interesting new insights into how entrepreneurial orientation helps firms create more successful export operations.

This study examines the drivers and implementation of intrapreneurship strategy in a property service company. Using a qualitative case study approach, the study interviewed four managers involved in related intrapreneurship initiatives. The data was validated by an expert and a practitioner from a different company. The implementation of the company's intrapreneurship strategy is limited to improving new ways of working and developing products and services. However, business development and the creation of new business models are still limited. From several intrapreneurship driving factors, it was observed that the company practices are considered adequate with regard to top management support, leadership, flexibility in carrying out work, as well as in fairly harmonious arrangements for ongoing business relationships with the intrapreneurship projects. On the other hand, human resources with entrepreneurial behavior are still minimal. Similarly, the driving factors in reward and training that promote entrepreneurial behavior are also considered to be insufficient. The application of intrapreneurship as a strategy requires understanding and commitment from all parties in the organization. This study provides insight into the Indonesian context and proposes that intrapreneurship initiatives are less likely to succeed if they are not supported by developing a more systematic entrepreneurial mindset, behavior, and culture.

The man's intrinsic motivation of self-determination theory is expected to have an impact on the entrepreneurial intention of small business start-ups. The self-determination theory includes perceived autonomy, perceived competence, perceived relationship as independent variables. This study presented a research model for explaining the entrepreneurial intention of small business start-ups, and collected 260 survey responses from the small business start-ups In order to validate the proposed research model, PLS analysis is performed with valid 246 questionnaires.

Purpose: Due to an ever more interconnected global commercial environment, the role of SMEs from emerging markets has attracted considerable attention in business literature of late. Reinforced by strategic management theory, this study builds on aspects such as entrepreneurial orientation and dynamic capabilities to construct and test a framework that focuses on exploring their associations with export performance. Research design, data and methodology: To contribute further towards a deeper understanding of these markets, the current study empirically tests a model using data collected from 225 exporting firms located throughout South Africa. Results: The results from the data analysis show that entrepreneurial orientation contributes significantly towards improving the performance of South African SMEs. Additionally, this study integrates three dynamic capabilities in the strategy-performance relationship to test their interacting effects on the correlation between entrepreneurial orientation and export performance. Further findings advocate support for relationship-based capabilities playing a moderating role between entrepreneurial orientation and the exporting performance of small and medium firms emanating from emerging markets. Conclusions: Findings provide substance to the argument that entrepreneurship, as a strategy-making process, leads to export performance in emerging nations. Especially, this study provides several suggestions as to how small and medium-sized organizations can develop their exporting performance based on the research findings.

기업가형 대학에 대한 관심이 최근 국내외 주목을 받고 있다. 이에 본 연구는 전통적인 대학의 역할에서 기업가형 대학(entrepreneurial university)으로의 패러다임 전환에 대한 논의와 대학 조직의 양손잡이 전략 관점에서 영국의 옥스퍼드 대학, 미국의 스탠포드 대학 그리고 독일의 베를린 공과 대학의 사례 분석을 실시하였다. 대학은 급격하게 변화하는 불확실한 환경에 적응하고 생존하기 위해 과거 교육 및 연구 중심의 역할 뿐 아니라 시장 활동을 통한 학문적 자본주의(academic capitalism)에 대한 중요성이 대두됨에 따라 이에 관련된 연구들이 진행되어 왔다. 이와 관련하여 본 논문에서는 이전 연구에서 다루지 않았던 기존 대학들의 기업가형 대학으로의 전환의 배경 및 필요성과 기업가형 대학으로 변화에 성공하여 우수한 성과를 창출하고 있는 대학의 사례를 양손잡이 전략 관점에 적용하였다. 구체적으로 조직의 양손잡이 전략을 가능케 하는 선행요인으로 구조적 관점, 맥락적 관점 그리고 리더십 관점에서 살펴보았다. 이에 본 논문은 단순히 사례를 소개하는 것에 그치는 것이 아니라 해당 사례들을 통해 앞으로 국내 대학들이 기업가형 대학으로의 패러다임 변화에 적응하고 대학의 미래 방향 설정을 위한 방안 마련 등의 자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이라 기대한다.
