The evolution of entrepreneurial initiatives is a intricate process shaped by a multitude of factors. These factors span diverse dimensions, including the socioeconomic setting, educational programs, individual characteristics, and the entrepreneurial ecosystem. Entrepreneurial initiative encompasses the proactive and innovative pursuit of opportunities, reflecting an individual or a group's willingness to take risks and create value in various domains. Rooted in the entrepreneurial spirit, this initiative goes beyond conventional business ventures, extending to the realms of social, technological, and cultural innovation. Individuals who possess entrepreneurial initiative frequently display attributes like inventiveness, flexibility, and a readiness to take measured risks. Determining the factors that lead to the growth of entrepreneurial initiative can help investors, entrepreneurs, and policy makers create an environment that is conducive to innovation and expansion in the entrepreneurial sector. The aim of this paper is to determine the factors that are most important for the development of entrepreneurial initiatives, as well to clarify the potential effects that various factors can have on the evolution of entrepreneurial initiatives, providing a nuanced perspective rooted in current literature.

Purpose Knowledge of how entrepreneurial alertness (EA) and effectuation impact small firms' performance in uncertain markets is limited. Suggesting effectuation as a mediation mechanism between EA and small firms' performance, the authors explore how entrepreneurs of small firms apply effectual logic to translate their individual alertness to market opportunities into firms' performance.Design/methodology/approachA set of hypotheses is tested by partial least squares analysis of survey data collected from small firms in New Zealand.FindingsThe results show that effectuation works as a mechanism that mediates a positive association between founders'/managers' alertness to market opportunities and small firms' performance.Originality/valueIntegrating EA with the effectuation theory, the authors contribute to the literature on new market opportunity development and firm performance. The authors argue that entrepreneurs concentrate on action and resources to further develop their marketing intelligence in developing new market opportunities. The authors also enhance the understanding of entrepreneurial marketing decision-making by small firms in a relatively small economy in the Asia–Pacific region.
