“…For enterprises in the 50th and 75th quantiles, new item creations are minimal at the 5% level.

In South Africa, inventiveness is a critical factor in expansion and growth, and small and medium-sized businesses have been designated as tools for achieving the societal and economic objectives and innovation outlined in the National Development Plan. The aim of this research is to look at the impact of inventiveness on small and medium-sized profitability in South Africa. The quantile regression method was utilised in empirical studies to explore the influence of inventiveness on enterprise profitability across different sales stages. The research was based on data from the World Bank's business questionnaire. The research results showed that expenses on development and research had a positive and substantial influence on profitability for businesses with greater sales (fast expansion or bigger enterprises). Existing proof demonstrates that incorporating new items and services boosts profitability for businesses with low progress or tiny businesses. Based on empirical evidence, inventiveness is essential for the growth and development of small and medium-sized businesses. Smaller or low-growth businesses don't have the ability to make expenditures on R&D because of a shortage of funds, which could contribute to their low chances of surviving. Considering the significant cash investment needed for R&D expenditures, additional support could be offered to smaller businesses in less powerful sales expansion. Because of a lack of funding for R&D, smaller businesses are being driven to create new items and production procedures that do not require big financial commitments.

“…First, entrepreneurial intentions (EI), this study adopted five questionnaires (e.g., "I am ready to do anything to be an entrepreneur", "my professional goal is to become an entrepreneur") from Meoli et al [28], while entrepreneurship education was es- timated using five items from Kusumojanto et al [4] (e.g., education in school drives skill and ability related to entrepreneurship, the education activities incorporate entrepreneurship matter and allow students opportunities to begin a business). Moreover, the entrepreneurial orientation was estimated using the five items (e.g., "I desire to be self-employed", "I plan to initiate my own business after graduation") from Abbas et al [29]. To estimate internship motivation, this paper adopted the items from Bolton and Lane [19] (e.g., "I obtained some knowledge and insight from internship program").…”

The entrepreneurial intention takes a major role in providing a new business creation. Despite major studies that have shown that entrepreneurship education is influential in driving intentions, few discuss this relationship by involving individual entrepreneurial orientation and internship motivation. This study is designed to investigate determinant factors affecting university students’ entrepreneurial intentions. To understand the nexus between entrepreneurship education and college students’ entrepreneurial intention, the hypotheses provide the intermediary role of entrepreneurial orientation, and this study presents evidence from Indonesia on the link between internships and intention for business. Using structural equation modeling (SEM) with partial least squares (PLS), the findings indicate that students’ entrepreneurial orientation and entrepreneurship education can drive students’ internship motivation and intention for entrepreneurship. Furthermore, it is de monstrated that internship motivation can moderate the link between entrepreneurial orientation, entrepreneurship education, and university students’ entrepreneurial intention.

Pentagon capital is a term used to describe the five essential forms of capital: human, social, financial, physical, and intellectual. These five forms of capital play a crucial role in improving the performance of women entrepreneurs. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the effect of these five forms of capital on the performance of women entrepreneurs, both directly and indirectly, through the adoption of digital technology. The analysis was conducted in 38 regencies/cities located in East Java Province, Indonesia, and comprised 268 women entrepreneurs from various business sectors. Following this, the primary data source was collected through the distribution of questionnaires, and the partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) was utilized to assess both the direct and indirect effects of the observed capitals using SmartPLS 4.0 software. The results showed that only social capital had a direct and significant effect on the performance of women entrepreneurs. However, human, financial, physical, and intellectual capital were found to significantly affect the performance of entrepreneurs indirectly through the mediation of the adoption of digital technology. It is also expedient to acknowledge that among the observed variables, financial capital was found to be the most important (19%). These results offered practical understanding for women entrepreneurs on strategies to increase their business income and access loans from financial institutions and government assistance. AcknowledgmentThe authors are grateful to the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology of Indonesia for funding this research.
