International entrepreneurship research in emerging economies: A critical review and research agenda

Entrepreneurship Theory: New Challenges and Future Prospects

“…As a result, the field was characterized by spectacular growth, and the set of topics and theoretical concepts used in the literature widened significantly during the first decade of the 21 st century [Busenitz et al, 2003;Uhlaner, 2003;Ireland et al, 2005;Xheneti, Blackburn, 2011;Carlsson et al, 2013]. Moreover, other researchers have analysed the achievements in particular areas, such as social entrepreneurship [Dacin et al, 2010], sustainable entrepreneurship [Hall et al, 2010], cross-cultural entrepreneurship research [Engelen et al, 2009], entrepreneurship in emerging economies and developing societies [Naudé, 2010;Kiss et al, 2012], and methods in entrepreneurship research [Short et al, 2010]. Now entrepreneurship research seems to be theoretically well supported.…”

The Impact of Demographic Factors on Accessing to Finance in Libya’s SMEs

“…Studies demonstrated that in the least developed economies, SMEs contribute less toward the creation of employment and generation of GDP compared with the informal sector (Cunningham 2011). This statistical evidence implies that developing countries have a duty to formulate policies aimed at reforming the market economies that harmonise the participation of informal and informal sectors to provide a firm foundation on which the poor can engage in high value added business activities (Kiss et al 2011). Moreover, eliminating the constraining factors for entry of informal enterprises into the formal SME sector can bring about economic gains.…”

Entrepreneurship and Financial Crisis: A Critical Investigation of Entrepreneurship Prospects and Opportunities That Lie Behind the Financial Crisis

“…Individual regions more specialized in specific, different clusters, and more interlinked. This allows the overall economic activity to be distributed relatively evenly in different areas, even if individual regions change specialization (Kiss, Danis, & Cavusgil, 2012). Areas without specialization are facing the risk of being left behind on economic development.…”

“…Also, other factors and circumstances must be considered, such as the Competitiveness and demand conditions. Clusters are most likely to emerge, thrive and survive when these conditions maintain high productivity and innovation (Kiss, Danis, & Cavusgil, 2012). Clusters and regional specialization empirically associated with higher levels of innovation and prosperity.…”
