“…Jumbri et al (2019) found that women entrepreneurs are motivated by a high need for achievement, a slightly high need for power and a moderate need for affiliation. Kong & Choo (2022) also confirmed that the indirect effect of achievement motivation on entrepreneurship was stronger for women than for men. Understanding agricultural students' motivation towards entrepreneurship is important since that will assist in the identification of pertinent mechanisms to address their position for the better.…”

Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the influence of intrinsic factors (proactiveness, motivation, creativity) on the personal attitude of agricultural students to start a farming business in South Africa. This relationship was looked at from gender perspective. Research Design & Methods: An estimated 3,486 students were enrolled for various agriculture-related qualifications in various 27 institutions of higher learning in South Africa when this cross-sectional, quantitative study was carried out. Data from 421 agricultural students were collected through a Prospective Farmers Profile Questionnaire at six institutions of higher learning in South Africa. Findings: The study finds no significant gender influence on all intrinsic factors and also on the personal attitude of agricultural students to start a farming business. The results further revealed that personal attitude to start a business is predicted by intrinsic factors, motivation, and creativity, but not proactiveness. Implications and Recommendations: Entrepreneurial syllabi should aim to equip students with intrinsic factors as these shape the personal attitude to start a business. It is a positive personal attitude that will likely result in a start-up. Farming entrepreneurship, especially among the youth will assist in employment creation as well as food security, two problems that many countries are currently facing. Contribution & Value Added: Proactiveness is one of the most important dimensions of entrepreneurship but agricultural students do not consider it significant in their personal attitude to start a business. Proactiveness should be built into the syllabi for students to be better acquainted with this critical business start-up element.

“…This is highlighted in the study by Carlianne et al (2016), which considers that among mothers with young children, the probability of choosing to work as employees or as self-employed remains very low. Also, the recent study by Kong and Choo (2022) shows that women’s entrepreneurial intention and motivation remain far below those of their male counterparts because of their perception of risk and their fear of failure.…”

Purpose Female entrepreneurship discussions will broaden and diversify as a result of global shifts. Studies of female entrepreneurship must take into account differences between male and female entrepreneurs due to the historical, cultural and social specificity of developing countries to narrow gender gaps, identify barriers, fine-tune support systems, release dormant potential and provide information for policymaking. This paper aims to measure and estimate the most crucial socioeconomic characteristics that Southeast Asian countries leverage to advance women’s business initiatives. Design/methodology/approach Using a panel data model whereby the Female Entrepreneurship Indicator Score serves as the dependent variable and the ten most important socioeconomic indicators serve as the independent variables. Ten southeast Asian countries are analyzed using the panel fixed effects approach of Method of Moments Quantile Regression (MM-QR) from 1980 to 2021. Findings It has been found by empirical panel quantile regression using the MM-QR method that the following indicators positively affect female entrepreneurship in southeast Asian countries: the assets indicator, the pay indicator, the workplace indicator, the mobility indicator and the a woman can sign a contract in the same way as a man indicator. But the parenthood indicator, the unemployment indicator, the school enrollment indicator, the men and women have equal ownership rights to immovable property indicator and the marriage indicator all have negative effects. Originality/value This paper uses a new method called MM-QR to look at how the most important socioeconomic factors affect female entrepreneurship in Southeast Asian countries. The results obtained will also add to and broaden the small amount of research that has been done on female entrepreneurs in developing countries.

“…However, from the IT services perspective, innovation is defined mainly as operational improvements (Govindan, 2023; Rodríguez‐Espíndola et al, 2022). Many studies clearly mentioned the significant impact of ICT on the productivity of business organizations; therefore, many studies considered ICT‐based innovations for adoption and diffusion (Geng et al, 2023; Kuan & Chau, 2001; Mohanty & Mishra, 2020). Many models have been recommended in the adoption of ICT research.…”

“…Firstly, while there are many similarities between the TOE framework and the diffusion of innovation theory, in the TOE framework, the environmental context has been included, which is not present in the diffusion of innovation theory (Premkumar & Roberts, 1999; Mohanty & Mishra, 2020; Geng et al, 2023) Subsequently, the TOE framework has been supported by reliable empirical studies and has a strong theoretical foundation (Chong et al, 2009; Govindan, 2023; Mohanty & Mishra, 2020). Another reason is that the TOE framework has been able to overcome the dominance of the technical perspective and is useful as an analytical tool to differentiate between the essential abilities of an innovation and the motivations, capabilities as well as it provides a wider environmental perspective for the adopting firm (Mohanty & Mishra, 2020).…”

Sustainable production and consumption are the need of the hour. Adopting the Circular Economy (CE) approach fosters sustainable business practices. Cloud computing is a new way of storage and application deployment. Cloud computing enables sustainable business processes, which in turn contributes towards the effective implementation of the Circular Approach to Business Practices (CABP). The current study aims to understand the potential of cloud computing to foster circular economy practices in Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). We conducted a Systematic review of 186 scholarly articles published in Web of Science (WOS), selected using the PRISMA framework. We conducted scientometric analysis on sources, authors and country level and thematic analysis to pinpoint further research areas. This was followed by a detailed literature review of the articles selected to study the concept and current practices of circular economy and an evaluation of its implementation in emerging economies. The paper proposes an integrated framework grounded in two approaches, that is, the Technology, Organization and Environment (TOE) framework and institutional isomorphism as determinants of cloud adoption and CE implementation. The proposed model explores the impact of institutional forces on the various parameters of TOE, thereby culminating in the adoption of Cloud Computing in SMEs. The study would encourage leaders and managers of SMEs to adopt cloud computing for competitive advantage and achieve a circular economy approach together. The adoption of cloud‐based applications has a great potential to foster industrial and economic progress with minimum damage to the ecosystem, furthering sustainability and achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
