“…With regards to entrepreneurship, social capital is based on the way in which those starting or managing small businesses must develop and maintain relationships with a wide range of social actors. Reciprocal relationships based on mutual trust, obligations and expectations are central to the creation of social capital (Lee and Jones, 2015).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to analyse the influence of the institutional environment on entrepreneurial failure of certain characteristics, both formal (regulatory complexity and tax pressure) and informal (social capital and fear of failure). Design/methodology/approach The authors use data drawn from a panel of 37 countries over a period of nine years (2006-2014). Findings Results show that the greater the regulatory complexity, the higher the rate of entrepreneurial failure; also that the higher the country’s stock of social capital, the lower the rate of entrepreneurial failure. Finally, the greater the tax pressure, the lower the rate of business failure. Research limitations/implications Among the limitations of this paper is the difficulty of directly measuring the variables it analyses, making it necessary to use proxies. Practical implications This study has important practical implications for policymakers. First, the study provides important insights on how regulatory complexity positively affects entrepreneurial failure. In other words, the study represents a response to the call for the development of a better regulatory environment since this plays a significant role in entrepreneurial failure. Second, regarding tax pressure, the authors found that the greater the tax pressure, the lower the rate of entrepreneurial failure. In this respect, entrepreneurs, academics and policymakers should be aware of this result. Finally, this study also demonstrates the important role of social capital in preventing entrepreneurial failure. Originality/value In line with the findings, this study provides proof of how the institutional framework can have an influence on entrepreneurial failure.

“…Social capital is broadly defined as "the networks and resources available to people through their connections with others" (Aldrich & Meyer, 2015) which connections offer information, enable the trust to emerge, and provide access to resources. In the entrepreneurial literature, social capital is considered as a contextual complement and a key asset for small companies (Lee & Jones, 2015). Through social capital, entrepreneurs can identify opportunities and mobilize resources (Adler & Kwon, 2002).…”

“…For future research, it is necessary to reexamine the relationship between social capital and resilience capacity of Muslim entrepreneurs, because, in theory, social capital affects the resilience capacity of entrepreneurs (Aldrich & Meyer, 2015;Lee & Jones, 2015;Lengnick-Hall et al, 2011). In Islam, the meaning of social capital to achieve prosperity is part of the Islamic social welfare system.…”

<p>Covid-19 affects all sectors, including micro, small and medium enterprises. The purpose of this study is to determine the factors that affect the resilience of Muslim retail entrepreneurs and to develop models of entrepreneurial strength in the face of crises due to Covid 19. The research sample used 160 Muslim retail entrepreneurs who are members of the Sampoerna Retail Community (SRC). The analytical techniques used are factor analysis and SEM model testing with AMOS. From the results of the factor analysis, there are six variables, namely resilience capacity entrepreneurship, customer orientation, retailer's attitude, social capacity, Islamic Spirituality and digital marketing that affect the resilience of Muslim retail entrepreneurs. The model developed shows that social capital is not significant in explaining the resilience capacity of Muslim retail entrepreneurs. For that, we need encouragement, support, coaching and support to empower retail business businesses.</p>

“…Another aspect of the social context of identity involves the social capital that entrepreneurs develop throughout venture creation (Jonsson, 2015). It consists of the multitudes of embedded relationships that impact the venture creation dynamic (Lee & Jones, 2015). It is the entrepreneur's investment in network development and the eventual access to superior resources (Adler & Kwon, 2002).…”

Entrepreneurs are responsible for bringing innovative products and services to market. However, in order to bring new value to consumers, most entrepreneurs must secure funding. An integral component in the process of resource acquisition is the entrepreneur’s story. Very little research has dealt with the storytelling structure that a good pitch should use. Stories are a fundamental part of the way human beings understand themselves and the world around them. This paper synthesizes the current state of entrepreneurial storytelling and builds a parsimonious framework for strategic entrepreneurial storytelling (SES) through qualitative analysis of actual pitches. Our framework will help entrepreneurs build intentional and compelling stories for their investment pitch through the concepts of SES context, content, and execution.
