“…This is perhaps unsurprising given that dynamic capabilities research has historically focussed mainly on larger enterprises (Koryak et al, 2015;McKelvie and Davidsson, 2009) with only a small body of literature focussing on dynamic capabilities in SMEs (Battisti and Deakins, 2015;Rice, Liao, Galvin and Martin, 2015;Woldesenbet, Ram and Jones, 2011) and micro-enterprises (Arend, 2014;Kevill, 2014;Vickers and Lyon, 2014). Micro-enterprise, however, offers a unique context (Devins, Gold, Johnson and Holden, 2005;Kelliher and Reinl, 2009) deserving of more attention (Jaouen and Lasch, 2015;Kelliher and Reinl, 2009). It is ideally suited to investigating whether owner-managerial self-efficacy may play a micro-foundational role in dynamic capabilities as owner-managers often have a strong influence in micro-enterprises (Kelliher and Reinl, 2009), and so, their perceived self-efficacy may well have a more pronounced effect.…”

This article combines two popular, yet separate concepts: dynamic capabilities and self-efficacy. Both are concerned with ability/capability and offer potentially valuable synergies. As such, our in-depth qualitative study based in three micro-enterprises in the United Kingdom investigates, ‘what role(s) may owner-manager perceived self-efficacy play as a micro-foundation of dynamic capabilities in micro-enterprises?’ Our findings show that perceived self-efficacy can influence dynamic capability enactment in multifaceted ways and even suggest that in some cases, perceived self-efficacy is a crucial component of dynamic capabilities, without which there may be no such capability. These insights help open up the black box of dynamic capabilities by contributing important knowledge to the growing body of research into the micro-foundations of such capabilities. Furthermore, our study illuminates the importance of idiosyncratic micro-foundations of dynamic capabilities in micro-enterprises and expands extant knowledge of the potential effects of self-efficacy in the small business and entrepreneurship domain.

“…Because, typologies are widely used form of theory building (Elo-Pärssinen, 2007;Hornaday, 1990;Hung, 1998;Mintzberg, 1992;Pedersen & Thomsen, 1997;Jaouen & Lasch, 2015;Zetterberg, 1997). Moreover, typologies meet several of the important criteria of theories and are shown to contain multiple levels of theory (Doty & Glick, 1994).…”

Values and differences in corporate governance across the world are part and partially related and it is obvious that owners know what results they want to have from the corporations in the long run. In this regard, some scientific studies have revealed that owners would be succeed in a dynamic environment only if they formulate ownership strategy based on values. Consequently, to understand corporate governance better, some research has been carried out on corporate governance by relating values towards the area of knowledge but there is a scarcity of research which proposing comprehensive and explains corporate governance systems consisting values. Therefore, authors of this paper identified the following research problem which is: "Lacking of theory behind corporate governance systems including values which gives an opportunity towards the owners under different corporate governance systems to analyse its own behaviour, learning, managing knowledge, and finally clearly expressing ownership will in the form of an ownership strategy." There were two data set was analysed in this study. One is Organisation for Economic Co-Operation and Development (OECD) company law and corporate governance database based on member countries submission and the second set of data is Schwartz's value survey to characterise multiple countries by their culture. Methodologically, after using multi quantitative tools this study is valuable to analyse all the secondary data to produce new knowledge, adopting different theoretical lens, by analysing and understanding the interrelationships of values and different systems of corporate governance across the world. The result of the study comes with a typology including values based three ideal types (Affective type, Cognitive type and Conative type) of corporate governance systems, with a practical contribution towards enriching the available knowledge for owners to formulate ownership strategy. Considering future direction, the constructed typology is required for assessment of the capability of refutation aside from OECD countries.This is an open access article under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License 4.0, which allows use, distribution and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited.

“…Reseller firms are micro level small and medium sized entrepreneurial firms run by individuals who are rational, passionate and enterprising in nature (Jaouen & Lasch, 2013;Talebi, 2007). The challenges faced by them for growth in a competitive market are different from those encountered by established brands (Beverland, 2000).…”

a b s t r a c tThis study investigates the characteristics of local individuals who represent a brand to its resellers by first conceptualizing these characteristics by employing complexity theory and then testing the conceptualization. This research revealed that four characteristics 'native', 'entrepreneurial', 'advisor', and 'compatible' are the main ones that influence reseller brand preferences. The study finds a link between reseller brand preference and reseller brand loyalty which is useful for managing business-to-business markets. The study closes with implications, limitations, and directions for future research.
