Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) play a crucial role in a country's economy, but are often faced with various challenges that limit their ability to develop. In facing the era of globalization and digital transformation, the concepts of creative economy and design preneurship have emerged as promising solutions. This research aims to analyze and understand the role of the creative economy and design preneurship in increasing the economic value of MSMEs. Data from a number of references highlights that the implementation of the creative economy and design preneurship can produce innovation, product differentiation and expand market share. Despite the great potential, many MSMEs have not fully utilized these concepts. Therefore, this research focuses on identifying effective strategies, best practices, and the impact of implementing the creative economy and design preneurship on the growth and sustainability of MSME businesses. This study uses qualitative methods with a focus on case studies. Data was obtained from 25 business actors who are MSMEs in Parongpong District, West Bandung Regency and are considered representative who will successfully apply creative economic concepts and design preneurship in increasing the economic value of MSMEs. From the research results, it is known that increasing the economic value of MSMEs through the creative economy and designpreneurship in MSMEs in Parongpong District, West Bandung Regency can be done through 3 (three) activities, namely optimizing product branding, optimizing packaging design and optimizing promotional media, with training provided regarding optimization. These three things mean that the creative economy and design entrepreneurship can effectively increase the economic value of MSMEs and provide the basis for more concrete and efficient policy strategies.

The research objective of this article is to evaluate Luxembourg's entrepreneurship position and performance, and compare its entrepreneurship profile with other countries, and then to investigate the main bottleneck that holds back Luxembourg's growth in terms of entrepreneurship. Research Design & Methods: The Global Entrepreneurship Index (GEI) approach was employed in this research. This methodology focuses on institutional and individual dimensions of entrepreneurship that are linked to efficiency. Furthermore, we used a unique feature of the GEI, the Penalty for Bottleneck (PFB) methodology, to infer which entrepreneurial elements should be tackled and how much effort is needed to alleviate the bottleneck of the Luxembourg entrepreneurial profile. Findings: The study results show no improvement in Luxembourg's profile in terms of entrepreneurship from 2014 to 2016, although it has a very high GDP per capita than those with GEI higher than it. The "start-up skills" were the main bottleneck in terms of entrepreneurship performance, which lowers the overall GEI score of Luxembourg. Therefore, the start-up skills should be improved 100% to become 0.23 in order to enhance Luxembourg's GEI score by 10 points; consequently, the new overall GEI becomes 68.3. Implications & Recommendations: To increase and develop entrepreneurship programs in Luxembourg, the responsible authorities in Luxembourg must adapt entrepreneurship programs that target various groups of society, especially with many immigrants. It should also facilitate access to entrepreneurial and support programs to enable aspiring entrepreneurs to create their businesses. Luxembourg should also focus on refugees by strengthening the entrepreneurial programs available to them and cooperating with NGOs to overcome obstacles such as the language barrier. Contribution & Value Added: This paper highlights Luxembourg's vulnerable performance using a new approach that combines single and institutional variables in a unique model. Additionally, what sets this research apart is the use of PFB, which is also used to uncover the components of entrepreneurship that need to be addressed. Article type:research article

“…Findings suggest that most of these forcibly displaced refuge women have the necessary skills, experience and knowledge to identify and exploit business opportunities for starting, despite facing several challenges in creating enterprises (Bikorimana and Nziku, 2023; Adeeko and Treanor, 2022; Huq and Venugopal, 2021; Kooy, 2016; Senthanar et al , 2021). However, evidence suggests that many forcibly displaced women face barriers to accessing the labour market due to language barriers (Alrawadieh et al , 2019; Mulvey, 2015); cultural barriers and labour exclusion (Zhang, 2015; Ram et al , 2022; Meer et al , 2020; Refai et al , 2021), lacking recognition of their educational qualifications (Maj and Kubiciel-Lodzińska, 2020; Collins, 2017; Backman et al , 2020; Craig, 2015; Lazarczyk-Bilal and Glinka, 2021; Bikorimana and Nziku, 2023, 2022). Similar studies found that most of the forcibly displaced women faced acute difficulties in finding jobs because of discrimination, racism and xenophobia (Luseno and Kolade, 2022; Griffiths and Yeo, 2021; Stewart and Shisheva, 2015; Carter et al , 2015; Ram, Jones, Doldor, Villares-Varela and Li, 2022).…”

Purpose Forcibly displaced refugee entrepreneurs face extra challenges that are beyond the barriers that face immigrants and hosts in their journey towards starting up, growing and developing their businesses. This study aims to critically examine the opportunity identification (OI) of forcibly displaced refugee minority women entrepreneurs in Glasgow. Design/methodology/approach Qualitative semi-structured face-to-face interviews with 10 participants were conducted, including 6 forcibly displaced women entrepreneurs and 4 stakeholders. A six-step thematic framework for data analysis with NVivo 11 was used. Findings Findings revealed that forcibly displaced refugee women’s entrepreneurial opportunities occur through a dynamic identification, discovery, recognition and exploitation of opportunities. Women-led businesses remain underdeveloped due to restrictions imposed by the Scottish Government, Westminster Government and local council authorities. Research limitations/implications This study was only conducted in Glasgow areas, although this is where most of the forcibly displaced groups live. The research team suggests that further studies with a large sample cutting across more local authorities beyond Glasgow should be conducted. Practical implications The empirical findings serve practitioners, local authorities business managers, researchers and policymakers. The study reveals a gap and lack of support and specific training and programmes that could positively benefit forcibly displaced refugee women entrepreneurs within the host communities. Originality/value The novelty of this study lies in the research topic which is still understudied. This is together with the new empirical findings of entrepreneurial OI and the provision of insights related to challenges facing forcibly displaced refugee women entrepreneurs in Glasgow.
