일반적으로 기업가들이 창업을 할 때 자금을 필요로 한다. 이들 자금의 주요원천은 개인저축, 가족이나 친구들의 자금 또는 은행이나 다른 금융기관들의 대출이다. 이민자와 모국인 기업가들의 자금원천에는 차이가 있는데, 그 차이는 그들이 처해있는 사회적 맥락에 기인한다. 이 연구의 주제는 기업가의 거주형태-이민자인지 모국인인지-가 어떻게 자금의 원천에 영향을 미치는지, 그리고 이러한 차이가 어떻게 한국가의 부에 의해 조절효과를 가지는지 하는 것이다. 데이터는 글로벌 기업가정신 모니터에서 29개국 14,369명의 이민자 및 모국인 창업 기업주나 관리자를 대상으로 서베이한 것을 사용했으며, 위계혼합모델을 사용하여 분석하였다. 분석결과 이민자나 모국인 기업가 모두 개인저축과 가족의 자금을 가장 주요한 자금원천으로 사용했다. 모국인 기업가들은 이민자 기업가들보다 은행이나 금융기관들을 주요 자금원천으로 사용한데 반해, 이민자 기업가들은 친구나 기타 원천을 자금원천으로 사용했다. 하지만 이러한 거주형태가 자금의 원천에 미치는 영향은 국가의 상황에 의해 조절된 것으로 나타났다. 한 국가의 부의 정도가 친구나 기타 원천을 자금원천으로 사용하도록 촉진한 것으로 나타났다.

전 세계적으로 실업과 고용창출이 중요한 이슈로 부각됨에 따라, 고용률을 높이고 경제를 활성화하기 위하여 우리나라를 비롯한 많은 선진국에서는 다양한 창업활성화 정책을 수립 시행하고 있다. 창업활성화에 있어 중요한 요인은 기업가정신이므로, 예비창업자와 기창업자를 대상으로 창업동기, 기업가정신, 창업의지 및 기업성과에 관계를 규명한다면, 기업가정신을 증진시킬 수 있는 대상별 맞춤형 창업정책프로그램을 마련하는데 중요한 시사점을 제공할 수 있을 것이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 창업정책수혜를 받고 있는 예비창업자와 기창업자를 대상으로 창업동기요인을 규명하고, 창업동기요인이 기업가정신과 창업의지(예비창업자) 및 기업성과(기창업자)에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 기술통계와 신뢰도분석을 실시하였으며, 타당도 검증을 위해 요인분석을 실시하였고, 상호상관성을 보기위해 상호관계를 분석하였으며, 최종 회귀분석을 통한 검증으로 요인들 간의 영향력을 분석하였다. 예비창업자의 경우, 총 202명을 대상으로 분석하였으며, 그 결과 자기효능감, 인적네트워크, 경제적요인, 정부정책은 기업가정신에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 자기효능감, 창업교육, 경제적요인, 정부정책은 창업의지에 정의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 기창업자는 총 212명을 대상으로 분석하였으며, 자기효능감, 인적네트워크, 경제적요인이 기업가정신에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 자기효능감은 재무적성과와 비재무적성과에, 창업교육은 재무적성과와 기술적성과에 인적네트워크는 비재무적성과에, 경제적요인은 재무적성과와 비재무적성과에, 정부정책은 재무적성과와 기술적성과에 각각 정의영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.

롤 모델은 개인의 직업 혹은 경력선택에 영향을 주기도 한다고 알려져 있다. 창업을 선택함에 있어서 롤 모델의 긍정적 영향은 많은 연구를 통해 이미 밝혀진 바가 있다. 롤 모델로는 혈연으로 연결된 가족 구성원인 부모형제 및 친척뿐만 아니라 사회적 관계로 만난 지인을 롤 모델로 선정한다고 한다. 본 연구에서는 자기이외에 롤 모델이 없는 창업자들과 롤 모델이 있는 창업자들로 구분하였다. 그리고 롤 모델이 있는 창업자들과 롤 모델이 없는 창업자들 간에 개인속성, 기업가정신 요인들, 학습지향성의 차이를 검증하고자 하였다. 또, 부모형제 및 친척 롤 모델을 강한 유대의 롤 모델로 지인 롤 모델을 약한 유대의 롤 모델로 구분하였다. 강한 유대 롤 모델을 가진 창업자들과 약한 유대 롤 모델을 가진 창업자들 간에 개인속성, 혁신성, 진취성, 위험감수성, 학습지향성의 차이를 검증하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 요인분석, t-검증 및 로지스틱 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 본 연구를 통해 밝혀진 실증분석 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 롤 모델이 없는 창업자들 중 여성의 비율이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 약한 유대의 롤 모델을 가진 창업자들이 강한 유대의 롤 모델을 가진 창업자들에 비해 큰 규모의 창업기업을 운영한다는 것이 밝혀졌다. 셋째, 약한 유대의 롤 모델을 가진 창업자들이 강한 유대의 롤 모델을 가진 창업자들에 비해 학습지향성이 더 높은 것으로 나타났다. 넷째, 로지스틱 회귀분석을 통해 살펴본 결과 롤 모델의 유무에 대한 영향은 성별, 학습지향성, 위험감수성, 창업규모 순인 것으로 나타났다. 다섯째, 로지스틱 회귀분석 결과에서 롤 모델의 유형에 대한 영향은 학습지향성, 창업규모의 순인 것으로 나타났다.

The objective of this research is to study the confirmative components of strategic intuition capability and the study of causal influence between strategic intuition capability and firm performance of SMEs in Thailand. The consistency method, structural equation models and empirical data were used to test the influential factors on firm performance. Models were then proposed for the development of the strategic intuition capability of entrepreneurs in Thailand. The research sample consisted of 342 SME provincial champion entrepreneurs listed with Thailand's Office of Small and Medium Enterprises. The research results reveal that the model of strategic intuition capability responded well to the empirical data. Additionally, a relationship was identified between firm performance and the causal influence of the strategic intuition capability of entrepreneurs. In accordance with the empirical data, the strategic intuition capability of entrepreneurs had a significant causal influence on firm performance (Chi-square = 35.71, df = 25, P-value = 0.07615, GFI = 0.98, AGFI = 0.96, RMSEA = 0.033, RMR = 0.027). Furthermore, with respect to the development of strategic intuition capability, the development of genuine wisdom based on systematic knowledge management achieved via conscious mental concentration may lead to the next stage of strategic intuition.

This objective of this study is to examine the influence of age and gender on entrepreneurship in Vietnam's context. Although various studies have been conducted to examine age and gender differences in the entrepreneurial process, the results reveal inconsistencies. Moreover, the relationship between different factors and their role in explaining age and gender differences in the entrepreneurship activities still has no clear answer. Our analyses were based on data collected for the 2017 Global Entrepreneurship Monitors (GEM) from individuals located in Vietnam with a sample of 2,118. Our findings show that female entrepreneurs had less household income and were likely to have more fear of failure in starting a business. Entrepreneurs tend to be older and young entrepreneurs have better education. The study also indicated that male entrepreneurs were likely to have more perception of the ease to start a business. Moreover, the number of male respondents who are currently entrepreneurs is higher and they are older. The contribution of this study is twofold. First, it provides empirical evidence on the age and gender differences in entrepreneurship. Second, it contributes to the understanding of the entrepreneurship environment in Vietnam, one of the most dynamic emerging countries in the East Asian region.

Microfinance is seen as a tool for poverty elimination by providing various services characterized as financial and non-financial to minority groups in the society to be included in the mainstream financial system. This paper seeks to examine the effect of microfinance institutions' (MFIs) financial and non-financial services on women's entrepreneurship and empowerment in Jordan as a developing country. To gain a deeper understanding of the effectiveness of microfinance services, the study is undertaken to address the question of what kinds of services are available and whether the MFI services are in line with the actual needs of women entrepreneurs to improve their performance. Hence, a qualitative approach was adopted in this study using semi-structured interview questions to collect data from twenty-four women entrepreneurs in Jordan. The results showed that, as regards financial services, the most important needs of women entrepreneurs include providing adequate financing with necessary financial facilities such as reducing interest, reducing monthly installments, and extending the grace period, while non-financial services should include holding specialized courses, accessing a counseling center, providing incentives and psychological support, marketing support, and monitoring and evaluation. This study concluded that factors associated with MFI play a crucial role to uplift women entrepreneurs and eliminate gender inequality.

This study aims to determine theoretically the best workers layoff/training strategy that entrepreneurs should apply to manage the COVID-19 crisis successfully. It also examines the impacts of the Saudi government's emergency measures on firm performance. The paper develops a theoretical framework in which the optimal control technics is applied to model the entrepreneur's hiring, layoff, and training behaviors. The results show that, during the current COVID-19 pandemic, the entrepreneur should first lay off the less productive workers to reduce labor costs. As more and more inefficient workers quit and profit increases, the entrepreneur starts expanding his activity and training workers. In the long run, only the training activity allows the firm efficiency to grow at a constant rate. This finding suggests that the key to long-run economic recovery in Saudi Arabia will rely on training, innovation, and adaptability to the new digital environment. The paper also shows that the Saudi government initiative of covering 60% of salaries for the small- and medium-sized entrepreneurs during the COVID-19 pandemic will enhance training activities in small- and medium-sized enterprises and improve their efficiency in both the short and long run. This policy will also prevent Saudi entrepreneurs from laying off half of their staff.
