“…We have identified that 26 articles have their contribution based on the entrepreneur axis as a person, which enables the visualization of key characteristics such as: human capital (Gumbau Albert, 2017; Coad et al , 2014) and entrepreneur employer. In addition, the influence and significance of the entrepreneur’s role in the business model success (Florén et al , 2016; Palacios-Marqués et al , 2013).…”

Purpose This study aims to propose a framework based on the main theoretical and empirical contributions present in the literature and articulate the main paths for future studies in knowledge-intensive entrepreneurship (KIE). Design/methodology/approach Using the systematic review method from a survey of 85 articles, related to the KIE focal issue, originated from the Web of Science, it was possible to exhaustively analyze the studies and to divide the theme into key categories. Findings The present research has raised the relationship of five categories to KIE conceptualizations; the data suggest that although the literature indicates a distancing from KIE research, there are multidisciplinary themes and approaches interlinked in the studies. Originality/value The systematic approach in the main theoretical and empirical contributions in KIE enabled us to relate five categories (entrepreneurs, innovation, internationalization, location and triple alliance), and finally, to understand the gaps suggested by the researchers.

“…The positive and significant effect of HMH reflects that the endowment of high and medium-high technology intensive sectors has a positive impact on the performance of Portuguese municipalities. In line with Albert (2017), the intuition behind this result is that technological progress within a given LAU is expected to move less innovative firms out of the market. Although the new 4.0 Industry eracharacterized by the adherence to digitalization, automation, and circular economymay imply job losses, it can also create new entrepreneurship opportunities for entrant firms and facilitate the expansion of existing ones (e.g., new niche products can be developed; productivity gains are expected; fixed costs can be converted into variable costs, while keeping the accumulation of knowledge behind doubt).…”

This study evaluates the impact of next-generation-access network coverage on the innovation efficiency of 278 Portuguese municipalities through a spatial panel data analysis focused on the period 2012-2015. We find evidence that the additional territorial coverage of nextgeneration access networks has a significant, negative, indirect, and permanent effect on the innovation efficiency of Portuguese municipalities. Other results include significant time dependence effects and stronger marginal effects in the long run. Several extensions reinforce the qualitative nature of benchmark outcomes. From a regulatory point of view, this research identifies a trade-off in the Portuguese telecommunications industry: universal (restricted) access to next-generation access networks can reduce (improve) the innovation efficiency of Portuguese municipalities, respectively.

“…The results of this study have some limitations regarding the study design. Entrepreneurship is a multidimensional concept, which can be operationalized by a variety of measures (Gumbau-Albert, 2017). In the present paper, we accepted the narrow understanding of entrepreneurship, related to establishing and running one’s own business.…”

“…Entrepreneurship can also be narrowly understood as the creation of a new company which is reflecting upon the start-up process or the running of one’s own business (Guerrero et al, 2021; Szerb et al, 2019; Zapkau et al, 2017). Being such a multidimensional construct, entrepreneurship can mean different issues and be operationalized by a variety of measures (Gumbau-Albert, 2017). In the present study we accept the narrow understanding of entrepreneurship, which is related to establishing and running one’s own business (Bradley, 2016; Pardo & Ruiz-Tagle, 2017).…”

The aim of this article is to examine whether the cross-country and gender variations of entrepreneurship can be explained within the institutional framework. The study addresses normative forces to which entrepreneurs are expected to adapt within European welfare states. The normative forces are focused on norm-based factors of governmental quality and value-based factors of governmental generosity, which are both hypothesized to be associated with entrepreneurship at the level of society and furthermore from the gender perspective. To verify our hypotheses, the research was conducted among 28 European countries in the years 2012 to 2018. We adopted the macro-level of analysis and undertook panel data analysis (PDA). We estimated the econometric models with entrepreneurship rates as dependent variables and those with norm-based and value-based factors as independent variables. The results confirm that norm-based factors are associated with entrepreneurship and there are significant differences in the responses of female and male entrepreneurial activities to the quality of government. However, we did not find supporting evidence for the statistically significant impact of governmental generosity on entrepreneurship. The novelty of our research is in implementing institutional theory into the discussion on entrepreneurship from the welfare state perspective, by introducing the concept of norm-based and value-based factors which reflect the quality and generosity of the government. We also distinguish between the impact of governmental quality and generosity on entrepreneurship from the gender perspective to contribute to the discussion on the gender gap in entrepreneurship.
