“…Finally, the empirical results draw attention to the ambivalent role of organisational proximity in relation to other types of proximity among institutional actors of the EE, especially with regard to institutional proximity. Encouraged by geographical and institutional proximity in Malta, organisational proximity can explain the forms of collaboration within the EE as found in the literature (Ben Letaifa & Goglio-Primard, 2016;Broekel & Boschma, 2012;Huber, 2012;Lagendijk & Lorentzen, 2007). However, in the Maltese case, organisational proximity at higher hierarchical levels can hinder the positive impact of social and cognitive proximity for actors at lower levels in terms of collaboration, and therefore negatively affects institutional proximity in some instances (see Figure 3).…”

“…This relational view of the EE is consistent with its 'ecological' systemic nature (Acs, Stam, Audretsch, & O'Connor, 2017) and calls for a more integrated view of proximities within EE. Special significance can be attached to the role of regional support and regulatory institutions for initialising, developing and maintaining a viable EE, in which entrepreneurs could seize opportunities to create and develop new ventures (Ben Letaifa & Goglio-Primard, 2016;Radinger-Peer et al, 2018). The topic of collaboration between institutional actors supporting the development of favourable conditions for entrepreneurs within a local entrepreneurial ecosystem is worthy of investigation (Erina, Shatrevich, & Gaile-Sarkane, 2017;Motoyama & Knowlton, 2016;Spigel & Harrison, 2018;Stam, 2014).…”

The interplays of different types of proximities are crucial to the emergence of new industries, including entrepreneurial ecosystems as pillar of the competitive advantage in regions. Though proximities can be advantageous, negative aspects on the economic development have also been discussed, leading to the discussion of the so-called proximity paradox. To better understand the effective functioning of these proximities, it must be concretized which institutional actors play a role, and how their collaboration and thus their proximity constellations contribute to the regional development. Based on empirical evidence of Malta, this paper operationalizes the different proximities types and conceptually investigates the different proximities between institutional actors in building a new regional industry, i.e. the gaming industry. The case of the Maltese gaming industry illustrates how regions with limited size and resourcescarcity, thus high proximities between actors (also prevalent in city-states and peripheral regions), can still defy the odds of the liability of smallness and, thus the proximity paradox. Results of this in-depth study shows how collaborative endeavour of proximate institutional actors can contribute to developing an effective entrepreneurial environment and the emergence of a new regional industry.

“…Individualist-oriented individuals are better at sharing explicit knowledge [ [96]] and yields higher tendency for using ICT means like phone, e-mail and repositories for communication [[97]]. On the other hand, collectivist-oriented persons prefer to share tacit knowledge: collectivistic persons learn mainly through mutual exchange with peers and experts building on their experience [ [98]]. They tend to communicate via ICT tools as phone, e-mail and instant messenger [[94]].…”

Abstract-Nowadays the current state of development of information and communication technology (ICT) connects individuals across time and space in one common environment that is accessible for anyone, creating the virtual world. To collaborate with somebody or to participate in a team activity does not require a physical presence anymore. Virtual settings allow real-time communication and cooperation across any distance at any time with negligible delay. ICT allows formation of virtual teams to accomplish various functions in work, education and private life. Compared to local teams of physically present individuals, the collaboration in virtual environments is more intensively influenced by external and internal impact factors and requires active motivation of the team members, extensive support by their team leader and appropriate technology. Among all the available ICT tools, not each ICT tool is equally suitable for each and every team activity. This paper aims to provide analysis of various ICT tools, to disclose their potential to contribute to team's quality communication and to reduce drawbacks caused by impersonal environment. Our aim is to optimize the composition of the ICT supporting infrastructure in order to form successful and effective collaboration.

“…According to what have been expressed, it can be said that the research results of Chen et al (2016), Thorgrena et al (2016), Letaifaa and Primard (2016) indicate that the university environment requires determining its missions and visions in order to achieve employment. The findings of these researchers show that there is a direct relationship between innovation and entrepreneurship and we need to spend longer time to achieve it (13,14). Conducted studies in this domain indicate that in 2020, higher education institutions will be faced with the challenge of responding to new needs in business and work sectors (15).…”

Organizational climate questionnaire by Sussman & Deep (1989) and Moghimi (2013) and entrepreneurship questionnaire of Kevin & Slavin (1986) were used for data collection. Also for evaluating the innovative supportive environment, the questionnaire of Cheng Hava Tassi through a five-point Likert scale was used. The overall reliabilities of questionnaires were obtained respectively 89%, 84% and 92%. The software package of spss21 was used for descriptive statistics and the software of Liserl8.5 was used for confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling (SEM). Results.
