Contextual Strategic Entrepreneurship: Perspectives on Regional Contexts, Social Elements, and Entrepreneurial Competitiveness (Contributions to Management Science)

"This edited volume discusses the contextual nature of strategic entrepreneurship. It unfolds the concept of context in strategic entrepreneurship and demonstrates how entrepreneurial strategies differ among various countries, societies, and entrepreneurial ecosystems. Written by global experts in strategic entrepreneurship research, chapters discuss emerging issues in the field such as barriers to strategic entrepreneurship, entrepreneurial resourced-based view, mixed embeddedness, social media marketing, competitiveness in small enterprises, strategic learning, and the triple helix approach to university-business-government strategic cooperation. Affirming that strategic decisions, planning, and formulations are greatly context-related endeavors and hence any true understanding of entrepreneurial strategy starts with appropriate understanding of relevant context, this volume makes a vital contribution to the discussion of strategic entrepreneurship."--Provided by publisher Foreword Acknowledgements Contents Part I: Strategic Entrepreneurship in Geographical Contexts An Introduction to Contextual Strategic Entrepreneurship: Perspectives on the Regional Contexts, Social Elements, and Entrepreneurial Competitiveness References Reconceptualizing Organizational Rejuvenation as a Strategic Entrepreneurship Phenomenon: A Bibliometric Map Approach 1 Introduction 2 Theoretical Background 3 Research Method 4 Research Results 4.1 The First Cluster: Organizational Restructuring 4.2 The Second Cluster: Organizational Capabilities Development 4.3 The Third Cluster: Business Turnaround Strategies 4.4 The Fourth Cluster: Internal Corporate Venturing 4.5 The Fifth Cluster: Entrepreneurial Leadership Development 4.6 The Sixth Cluster: Business Processes Development 4.7 The Seventh Cluster: Business Rebranding 5 Discussion 6 Conclusion References Modelling of Barriers Towards the Adoption of Strategic Entrepreneurship: An Indian Context 1 Introduction 2 Literature Review 2.1 Drivers of the Strategic Entrepreneurship 2.1.1 Balanced Exploration and Exploitation 2.1.2 Exhibiting Organisational Innovations 2.1.3 Ample Knowledge of the Market 2.1.4 Support from Top Leadership 2.1.5 Choice of Industrial Sectors 2.1.6 Adequate Financial and Human Capital 3 Research Methodology 3.1 Interpretive Structural Modelling (ISM) 3.2 Fuzzy MICMAC 4 Data Analysis and the Results 4.1 Identification of Barriers Related to the Adoption of Strategic Entrepreneurship 4.2 Interpretive Structural Modelling 4.2.1 Structural Self-Interaction Matrix (SSIM) 4.2.2 Initial Reachability Matrix (IRM) 4.2.3 Final Reachability Matrix (FRM) 4.2.4 Partitioning of Levels 4.2.5 The Structural Model 4.3 MICMAC Analysis 5 Discussion 6 Policy Implications and Recommendations 7 Research Limitation 8 Scope for Future Research 9 Conclusion References A New and Innovative GEM Composite Index Based upon the National Expert Survey: A Survey of Selected African Countries 1 Introduction 2 Literature Review 3 Common Methodological Limitations 4 The GEM Conceptual Model 5 Methodology 6 An Applied Example: The NECI Results for a Sample of African Countries 7 An Applied Example: The NECI Results for a Sample of African Countries 8 Conclusion, Future Developments and Lines of Research References Sustainability of Barangay Micro Business Enterprises (BMBEs) in Laoag City, Ilocos Norte, Philippines: The Role of Resource-Based View 1 Introduction 2 Resource-Based View (RBV) 3 Barangay Micro Business Enterprises (BMBEs) 3.1 The R.A. 9178, Also Known as Barangay Micro Business Enterprises (BMBEs) Act of 2002 3.2 The Barangay Micro Business Enterprises in Laoag City 3.2.1 Profile of BMBEs: Hotel Accommodation and Food Service Activities Group in Laoag City 3.2.2 SWOT Analysis of BMBE: Hotel Accommodation and Food Service Activities Group in Laoag City Strengths Weaknesses Opportunities Threats 3.2.3 Valuable, Rare, Inimitable, Organized Resources of BMBE: Hotel Accommodation and Food Service Activities Group in Laoag City Valuable Resources Rare Inimitable Organized 4 Strategies for Sustained Competitive Advantage of BMBEs in Laoag City 4.1 Financial Strategies 4.2 Marketing Strategies 4.3 Production Strategies 4.4 Human Resources Strategies 5 Conclusions References Part II: Strategic Entrepreneurship in Social Contexts The Meaning of Being a Migrant Entrepreneur: An Intersectional Approach to Mixed Embeddedness Theory 1 Introduction 2 Conceptual Considerations: Intersectionality as the Missing Link? 3 Methodology 4 Results and Discussion 4.1 Migrant Entrepreneurship in Vienna 4.1.1 Integration and Marginalization as Socio-Spatial Processes 4.1.2 Locating the Shopping Streets: Simmeringer Hauptstraße and Neubaugasse 4.2 Doing Entrepreneurship: Situational and Contextual Construction of the Entrepreneurial Selves in Simmeringer Hauptstraße and Neubaugasse 4.2.1 “A Barber Shop Every Ten Meters” and the Migrant “Benefit King” 4.2.2 “Unmarking of the Gendered Entrepreneurial Self Through Social Mobility and Class Formation” 4.3 Summary of the Interviews on which the Chapter Is Based.
