“…The emergent factor Assessed and Regulated Innovation influences middle managers’ behaviour by combining the organic free flow of information and idea-sharing with rigid thinking based on hierarchy and adherence to rules and regulations. Our case firms exhibited something of a paradox that despite innovation as conceptual bedrock for CE, there is a specific mix of policy instruments for the UAE emerging market where innovative ideas are evaluated and considered (Boone et al , 2019; Li et al , 2021). The definitions of entrepreneurship are often ambiguous in the literature, and our findings suggest that regional institutional differences exacerbate the problematic nature of CE.…”

“…Many UAE companies benefit from localisation requirements that add cultural context to innovation, making it applicable and usable in several countries (Forcadell et al , 2020). We argue that centrally controlled standardisation of innovation combined with local legal requirements and customers’ specifications is often accompanied by new organisational standards and rules that seek conformity in practices and behaviour (Evans et al , 2002; Li et al , 2021). However, in contrast to work autonomy and discretion, the emergent factor Communication and Trust plays a prominent role in UAE’s multinational firms regarding how open communication impacts decision-making freedom and work autonomy through trust-building.…”

“…However, there is minimal reference to the institutional logic in CE scholarship. Recently, Li et al (2021) have argued that the institutional order represents a unique configuration of institutions in different countries, and each institution type has a different weight and influence over the whole system (Campante and Yanagizawa-Drott, 2015). For example, the institutional analysis of Islamic entrepreneurship provides valuable insights into how religion denominates certain restrictions and specifies the ontology of business and its role in broader society (Farmaki et al , 2020; Gümüsay, 2020).…”

“…MNEs' values are framed according to individual merits, entrepreneurialism and willingness to self-improve (Kobal et al , 2018). This institutional logic highlights how different logics of state, market and society shape MNE's organisational culture (Li et al , 2021). There is little empirical research on CE development strategies in multinational organisations.…”

Purpose Corporate entrepreneurship (CE) has attracted considerable attention worldwide, and the challenges of managing employees’ entrepreneurial behaviours are increasingly recognised. However, the paucity of research on managers’ entrepreneurial behaviour in the United Arab Emirates multinational corporate environment creates a salient gap in the current understanding of how national and organisational cultures that not always align frame the critical problems of CE. This study aims to fill this research gap by examining multinationals’ CE antecedents drawing on an institutional perspective in Dubai. Design/methodology/approach The author conducts 54 in-depth interviews with middle managers in multinational enterprises. This study adopts a multiple case study research design to reveal whether an emergent discovery is exclusive to a particular case or is consistently replicated by multiple cases. The author has used abductive reasoning to systematically integrate analytical framework deduction with raw data induction. Findings This study’s findings indicate that CE in Dubai is ineffective and fragmented. Arguably, the cultural background of employees creates different circumstances and determinants of entrepreneurial behaviour. Hence, CE may not achieve epitome competencies without identifying multicultural nuances in an organisational context. Originality/value Existing research has placed relatively little emphasis on the role of individual national culture in multinational enterprises. This study’s results offer potentially valuable implications for theory, practice and future research addressing other emerging countries. This model presents a distinct CE architecture with compelling evidence for national culture (at the macro level), organisational culture, Corporate Entrepreneurship Assessment Instrument and emergent factors (at the meso level) and individual middle managers' real-life experience (at the micro level).

“…Moreover, there is broad scholarly consensus that institutions (Wales et al ., 2021; Pindado et al ., 2023; Medase et al ., 2023), macroeconomic indicators (Charfeddine and Zaouali, 2022) and the developmental stages of countries (De Mello et al ., 2022) act as guiding forces for entrepreneurial activities. Recent studies have emphasized the role of institutions (Bjørnskov and Foss, 2016; Li et al ., 2021; De Mello et al ., 2022) and macroeconomic indicators (Charfeddine and Zaouali, 2022) in shaping entrepreneurial activities in both developed and developing economies (Afawubo and Noglo, 2022; De Mello et al ., 2022; Stephen et al ., 2005; Escandon-Barbosa et al ., 2019; Guerrero et al ., 2021). Despite these insights, our understanding of the multilevel impacts of institutions and macroeconomic indicators on entrepreneurial activities remains incomplete.…”

PurposeEntrepreneurial activity is a phenomenon that increases the economic growth of countries and improves their social welfare. The economic development levels of countries have significant effects on these entrepreneurial activities. This research examines which institutional and macroeconomic variables explain early-stage entrepreneurship activities in developed and developing economies.Design/methodology/approachThe authors conducted panel data analysis on the data from the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) and International Monetary Fund (IMF) surveys covering the years 2009–2018.FindingsFirst, the authors' results reveal that cognitive, normative and regulatory institutions and macroeconomic factors affect early-stage entrepreneurial activity in developed and developing countries differently. Second, the authors' findings indicate that cognitive, normative and regulatory institutions affect early-stage entrepreneurship more positively in developed than developing countries. Finally, the authors' results report that macroeconomic factors are more effective in early-stage entrepreneurial activity in developing countries than in developed countries.Originality/valueThis study provides a better understanding of the components that help explain the differences in entrepreneurship between developed and developing countries regarding institutions and macroeconomic factors. In this way, it contributes to developing entrepreneurship literature with the theoretical achievements of combining institutional theory and macroeconomic indicators with entrepreneurship literature.
