“…economic crisis) (Yamakawa and Cardon, 2015). Previous studies have found that perceived internal causes of failure increase learning from failure but that perceived external causes of failure decrease learning from failure (Homsma et al, 2009;Kim and Rhee, 2017;Riar et al, 2021;Yamakawa and Cardon, 2015). To resolve these differences in the previous research findings, this study also intends to examine the effects of perceived internal and external causes of failure on learning from entrepreneurial failure.…”

“…Gong et al (2019) found that learning from acquisition failures weakens performance in subsequent acquisitions in small failures, whereas in the case of large failures, learning from an acquisition failure exerts no effect on the performance of the next acquisition. Thus, our study aims to resolve these discrepancies by examining the effect of learning from entrepreneurial failure on business performance and the type of entrepreneurial failure as a moderator between learning from entrepreneurial failure and business performance (Riar et al, 2021).…”

“…Yamakawa and Cardon (2015) conducted a survey of Japan's second start-up firm within a societal setting that does not tolerate failure, and they suggested studying entrepreneurial failure more deeply in a different context. A more recent qualitative case study by Riar et al (2021) analysed interactions between the attribution of the causes of company failure and lessons learned from entrepreneurial failure JSBED 30,3 for German entrepreneurs. The authors called for further investigation using a survey method to generalise their findings in the context of SMEs in developing countries.…”

PurposeThis study's main objective is to examine the effect of learning from entrepreneurial failure on performance, with a type of failure as a moderator variable. Interactions between internal and external causes of failure and learning from entrepreneurial failure are also investigated, as well as entrepreneurs' aspects (i.e. age, experience and education) and organisational contextual factors (i.e. size, sector and location).Design/methodology/approachThis study employed a hypothetico-deductive approach through a survey of 250 purposively sampled entrepreneurs who had suffered business failures. The survey data were subjected to regression analysis and moderated regression using WarpPLS software and an independent sample t test for an in-depth analysis.FindingsThe results indicated that learning from entrepreneurial failure positively affected business performance, an effect moderated by the type of failure, particularly with large failures. Only perceived internal causes of failure exerted a positive effect on learning from entrepreneurial failure; the external causes did not. The effect of failure on business performance was stronger on entrepreneurs who were older and experienced, had non-university educations and operated small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) outside Java–Bali islands.Originality/valueThis study's findings provide empirical evidence that supports the experiential learning theory and attribution theory in explaining the interaction between learning and failure, its cause, its consequences and its magnitude as perceived by entrepreneurs of SMEs in Indonesia, where the rate of failure is relatively high. The authors’ study also emphasises the roles of the entrepreneur and organisational contextual factors, which matter in learning to improve performance.

“…Brass et al [11] argued that firms with network experience tended to expand their network with new and diverse partners. Thus, learning is another factor that can influence the approach of networking and therefore the networks themselves [11,40]. Ahuja et al [7] also contributed with additional factors influencing tie creation.…”

This research investigated influential factors on changes in networks of startups through a qualitative exploratory case study approach. Based on interviews with founders in Germany and selected stakeholders in entrepreneurial networks combined with a network mapping approach, we developed a framework of influential factors on network changes. In essence, this framework categorizes factors into sustainable resource acquisition, knowledge and skill acquisition, interpersonal factors, and interorganizational factors. Overall, our research contributes to a better understanding of factors that impact network changes by providing a construct with potential for theoretical standardization. In addition, this research offers important managerial implications.

In the rehabilitation process, robotic structures can support the different medical-surgical actions. These recovery process activities often involve repetitive movements that must be performed several times at various amplitudes. Robotic structures for rehabilitation can be driven by three types of active drives, namely electric, pneumatic and hydraulic actuators. Pneumatic systems have become increasingly present in various market segments and are widely used in the industry, mainly due to their ease of maintenance, low cost, safety and applicability in various processes. Currently, the concept of Frugal Innovation is being discussed, which emerges as a way to produce effective and affordable products using fewer resources to reach less-served customers. Frugal Innovation is centered on saving resources, is characterized by simplicity and clarity and aims to reach the low-income market. This article proposes the application of Frugal development methods in the design of a lower limb rehabilitation system. With the application of frugal concepts, pneumatic actuators were chosen. The choice of the pneumatic cylinder is presented from the required pneumatic force. The application of the Frugal Innovation approach in the design of this type of products demonstrates the relevance of applying these methods in efforts to mitigate or reduce the growth of the technological gap between underdeveloped and developed countries.
