“…The most typical examples of cultural distance is the obvious linguistic distance, as well as distance in internalized norms of behavior and communication, socialization patterns and expectations (seeBielenia-Grajewska et al 2013).2 Focusing on one type of ethnic entrepreneurs, from only one ethnicity and in one specific locality (viz.

This paper addresses the role of cultural bias (preference for what is culturally more akin) in the entrepreneurial choice regarding different types of social networks in the context of urban mixed embeddedness. We test empirically the presence and aftermaths of this cultural bias, drawing on evidence from a natural experiment with regard to Albanian ethnic entrepreneurs in the city of Milan, Italy. Namely, these entrepreneurs are exposed to the same mixed urban embeddedness and, when we control for firm characteristics, the only discriminating component explaining their success is their choice of social network. We focus on the choice over three types of social networks, classified according to varying degrees of cultural distance between the network and the entrepreneur: (a) the indigenous population, (b) the local Albanian diaspora, and (c) fellow citizens residing in the country of origin, Albania (i.e., transnational networking). We employ a novel method for reverse engineering of preferences for networking by using a Kaplan-Meier estimator and a propensity-score matching technique. We find that strategic network liaisons with locals is actually the most beneficial social network for ethnic firm performance. However, it is social networking within the culturally closer local Albanian diaspora that is the most common behavior.

With the advent of China's economic transition period, cultivating talents with innovative and entrepreneurial capabilities is currently the Ministry of Education's important guiding ideology for college education. E-commerce innovation and entrepreneurship teaching in colleges and universities is an important way to cultivate students' entrepreneurial ability. Cultivating outstanding innovative e-commerce talents is a concrete manifestation of deepening the "artisan spirit". This article analyzes the insufficiency of college e-commerce innovation and entrepreneurship teaching based on the perspective of excellent talent cultivation. And for the guiding ideology of excellent personnel training, it put forward the countermeasures to improve the teaching of e-commerce innovation and entrepreneurship in colleges and universities.

“…It asserts that innovation is developed by external resources conveyed to a business through stakeholder support; consequently, these resources are injected into the business and converted into innovation (Barney et al, 2001;Foss et al, 2008;Bakar and Ahmad, 2010). The second stream adopts an internal perspective, considering entrepreneurs' psychological attributes that are crucial to developing innovation (Krueger, 2003;Zhao, 2005;Carayannis, 2013;Sahut and Peris-Ortiz, 2014;Zhou, 2015;Kariv, 2019). From this perspective, risk-taking (Ling et al, 2008;Garc ıa-Granero et al, 2015) and entrepreneurial motivations (Krueger, 2007;Carsrud and Br€ annback, 2011;Renko et al, 2012;Aalbers et al, 2013) align with the attributes that innovation necessitates.…”

PurposeResearch shows that innovation is imperative for business competitiveness and that entrepreneurs are stimulators of innovation. This is particularly true for younger entrepreneurs, who are recognized as having technological savvy, high dependency on the web, low fear of change and high zeal for challenges. However, not all businesses headed by younger entrepreneurs innovate, and research on younger entrepreneurs' innovation is lacking. This study assessed the main drivers of innovation in a sample of young Canadian entrepreneurs leading businesses in the initiation phase.Design/methodology/approachA sample of young Canadian entrepreneurs leading businesses in the initiation phase has been employed. This study is based on younger entrepreneurs and draws on the definition of generations Y and Z (Taylor and Keeter, 2010). It examines the initial stage of a business, up to 3 years. The sample includes 100 adults (65% female), whose ages ranged from 18 to 34 years. The drivers to innovate included external support (e.g. mentoring, funds, accelerators) and internal factors, including psychological attributes (i.e. risk-taking) and entrepreneurial motivations. Regression and structural equation modeling analyses have been conducted.FindingsThe findings revealed that entrepreneurial motivations for achieving self-fulfillment and contributing to the world, which are prevalent among younger generations, fostered innovation both directly and indirectly through the mediating effect of external support and risk-taking. External support fostered innovation not directly but through the mediating effect of risk-taking; in contrast, internal factors directly propelled innovation. This finding demonstrates the significance younger generations attribute to internal factors over external factors in the quest for innovation.Practical implicationsThis study can be an intriguing starting point for future studies to examine in more depth the intertwined role of external and internal factors in accelerating innovation among younger entrepreneurs. Studies could examine various psychological attributes and professional and business capabilities (Zahra, 2021) as well as external factors.Originality/valueOur findings add to this literature in stressing the need to strengthen risk-taking among younger entrepreneurs, which is affected by external support and produces innovation; and reinforce the relevance of the resource-based view in revealing younger entrepreneurs' avenues to develop innovation, pinpointing external support as contingent on motivation and demonstrating the role of risk-taking in the pursuit of innovation.
