“…Our data collection through interviews continued until our sample reached a point of saturation (Korstjens and Moser, 2018). The literature has emphasised the relationship between the precise formulation of a research question and the achievement of saturation – that is, increasing repetition of the issues reported by respondents (Glinka and Czakon, 2021). Furthermore, a minimum case number of 10 is recommended for relatively homogeneous populations defined precisely before research is undertaken (Boddy, 2016).…”

Purpose This paper aims to identify trust’s role in the student–lecturer relationship and to identify the factors that build trust in this relationship, as well as the mechanisms through which trust influences entrepreneurial intentions and behaviours. Design/methodology/approach This paper presents the results of empirical research based on a semi-structured interview questionnaire. The participants included 12 entrepreneurs, 25–40 years old, who were running their own small enterprises. They were categorised by industry. Findings This study’s results suggest that entrepreneurship education based on trust in student–lecturer relationships contributes to the formation of entrepreneurial intentions and behaviours. This study has identified the factors that build trust between students and lecturers. Three mechanisms were also identified as having the greatest impact on transforming entrepreneurial intentions into actions: increasing self-efficacy, cultivating a broader perspective and encouraging initiative and risk taking. Research limitations/implications An obvious limitation of this research is its small sample size. Moreover, this study’s respondents were all entrepreneurs running small companies – mainly start-ups – with up to 50 employees established by entrepreneurs up to four years after graduation. Additionally, the majority of the sample were men of Indian nationality. In subsequent studies, including more diverse respondents would be useful. Moreover, a quantitative survey of a larger sample with greater gender and cultural diversity would be worthwhile to test the proposed model. Practical implications This paper helps explain the trust’s importance in the student–lecturer relationship. This paper reveals how relationships should be established to support entrepreneurial learning outcomes. Originality/value The results of this research expand the knowledge on trust-building between students and lecturers that can develop successful entrepreneurial attitudes amongst students and help students succeed as entrepreneurs. To the authors’ knowledge, no previous research had examined this topic. This study’s results are probably more universally relevant than our limited sample suggests, so further in-depth research is needed.

“…Sustainability is a current and broad concern for the economy, businesses, and the general public, considered a systemic concept (Buys et al, 2014;Gli nska-Newe s & Karwacki, 2018) connected to the continuation of economic, social, and environmental challenges (Mohd Zawawi & Abd Wahab, 2019;Ren et al, 2023;Ribeiro et al, 2016).…”

This study addresses an existing research gap on individual green competences (GC) and their application in business settings, and discusses the concept GC in the context of a firm's organizational sustainability (OS). Namely, the study aims to examine the importance of organization members' (managers' and employees') GC for advancing a firm's OS. The theoretical grounding is exemplified by the empirical study based on individual interviews with managers. Study results explain how managers understand GC and how they see GC's role in enhancing companies' OS, as well as what are crucial barriers encountered in this process. The results show that GC, from a managerial perspective, are seen through the lens of people's pro‐environmental awareness and knowledge followed by behaviors related to environmental protection. They indicate the economic, environmental, and social benefits of GC development, required for a firm's competitive advantage. The research contributes to the studies on GC being a significant antecedent of achieving the desired business results in terms of OS.

“…This implies the combination of existing and new knowledge (Jiang et al, 2018(Jiang et al, , 2020 as stated earlier. Responsible green innovation should therefore promote the integration of several functional dimensions of R&D, finance and technology (manufacturing and/or marketing) for it to be effectively implemented (Chen et al, 2019;Gli nska-Newe s & Karwacki, 2018;Schartinger et al, 2020;Tseng et al, 2013). Such integration also requires the involvement of different stakeholder groups to help businesses develop capabilities to anticipate and act on contingencies or risks (i.e.…”

Knowledge and innovation management in agribusiness: A study in the Dominican Republic

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

To date and worldwide, most business activities in the agribusiness sectors have focused on increasing productive efficiency to the detriment of the environmental impact of these activities, despite close connection that exist between agribusinesses and natural resources. This paper argues that knowledge and innovation management (KIM) can play a key role in fostering and managing creativity in the agribusiness sector. To test this assumption, an empirical model linking KIM with employee creativity, responsible green innovation, and performance in the agribusiness sector of the Dominican Republic is proposed and tested with data from 110 agribusiness companies. We found that strengthening the relationships between the above constructs is needed, with a view to readjusting the meaning of firm performance in the light of emerging (post-pandemic) circumstances for agribusinesses. The statistical analyses yield important implications and recommendations for practice, management, and policy making in these areas in this country and elsewhere.
