“…The concepts we focus on and the generic relationships we suggest in this study could be further developed to better adapt to differentiated contexts in which projects are undertaken. Some recent studies highlight bureaucratic and hierarchical organizations, difficulties in accessing financing resources, economic instability and corruption as some features that project managers in emerging economies may have to deal with (Rincon-Gonzalez et al , 2019; Guerrero and Urbano, 2020). Further developments including these specific features would provide a more detailed picture of the interactions between KOS, PM and performance in differentiated contexts.…”

Purpose The purpose of this study is to empirically investigate how knowledge-based organizational support (KOS) influences organizational performance through project management. Design/methodology/approach Data were obtained from a survey and from archival sources with a time lag for the dependent variable; structural equation modeling was used to analyze the data. The sample was made up of 106 organizations in Colombia, considering two key respondents from each organization: general manager and project manager. Findings Results show that KOS is an antecedent of project management and project performance. Furthermore, project management and project performance play a mediating role between KOS and organizational performance. Research limitations/implications Research limitations are the following: use of cross-sectional data with a time lag, one single unit of analysis, organizational performance analyzed only from a financial perspective. Despite these limitations, the paper puts forward relevant implications that bridge knowledge management and project management literature by clarifying the conditions under which knowledge organizational support generates a significant impact on organizational performance. Intellectual capital and knowledge management dynamic capabilities play a relevant role in this connection. Practical implications The findings have important practical implications: decision-makers are to allocate effectively hard and soft resources to configure a knowledge-based infrastructure, through the development of intellectual capital and knowledge management dynamic capabilities. Social implications The findings are generalizable to projects management in the context of non-government organizations or other social-oriented initiatives. Originality/value This study assumes and operationalizes organizational support from a knowledge-based perspective, represented by intellectual capital and knowledge management dynamic capabilities, providing empirical evidence of the way KOS influences organizational performance through project management and project performance.

“…In their study Guerrero and Urbano (2021) found that the effects of entrepreneurial innovation improved capabilities in their businesses through the implementation of innovation mixed practices, through innovation in product/services, and through innovation in processes. When businesses developed innovation capabilities in innovation mixed practices of products and processes the probability of developing sustainable entrepreneurial…”

“…In this study we investigated the level and types of innovations of female social entrepreneurs in Africa (FSEAs) and how they create value in their societies. From the literature it is clear that innovation is an essential entrepreneurial activity (Guerrero & Urbano, 2021;Lumpkin & Frese, 2009;Pearce, Fritz & Davis, 2010;Rauch, Wiklund, Schumpeter & Miller, 1987;Yusoff, Razak, Hassan & Zainol, 2018). Entrepreneurship theories have identified different types (Schumpeter, 1939;Zhao, 2005) and levels (Elbaz, Binkour & Majdouline, 2013;Hamel & Breen, 2007;Lewrick, Williams, Omar & Tjandra, 2015) of innovation.…”

The objectives of the study were to identify the types and levels of innovations and the business categories of Female Social Entrepreneurs in Africa (FSEAs) and to determine how these FSEAs create social value in their societies. The database of Ashoka, an international organisation promoting exceptional social entrepreneurs, known as changemakers, were used to identify 142 FSEAs from 20 African countries. Schumpeter's (1939) typology of innovation and Hamel and Breen's (2007) hierarchy of innovation were used to determine the type and social value created and the FSEAs' contribution to society. The results indicate that at 85%, most FSEAs have post-school qualifications, of which 43% have a degree and 24% post graduate qualifications. The business categories of the majority of FSEAs are in Education and Learning (30), Development and Prosperity (30), and Health and Fitness (21). Furthermore, the Schumpeterian type of innovation of the majority is Opening of New Markets (78) and Introduction of New Products or Services (46). The Hamel and Breen's level of innovation of the majority of FSEAs is Product and Service Innovation (114). We found that the FSEAs identified and addressed important challenges in their communities through various types of innovation. This process created valuable social contributions to their communities, the broader society and, in some instances, other African countries.

“…Besides, longitudinal analyses that quantify the effects of adverse business environments in the national economic development will shed light on the microeconomic role of HGE. Second, the firm’s competitive position will limit the technological and innovative organizational’ strategies (Urbano et al , 2019; Guerrero and Urbano, 2021a, 2021b). Our review suggests that those sectors with a higher rate of knowledge-intensive business/technology entrepreneurs will generate additional competitive pressures to the HGE.…”

“…Although economic growth has been an objective of public policy for a long time, the microeconomic basis has only recently been uncovered to show the high growth firms’ key function (Audretsch, 2012). Particularly, as economies develop, high-growth ventures may provide a missing link to developing economies’ expectations for economic and job creation (Troilo, 2011; Lecuna and Chávez, 2018; Li, 2018; Pawitan et al , 2018; Content et al , 2019; Sá and Pinho, 2019; Urbano et al , 2019; Guerrero and Urbano, 2021a). Besides, Braga et al (2018) suggested that the impact of high-growth businesses on the local economy is dependent on the specific context where those have a place.…”

Purpose Given the lack of theoretical and empirical research on high-growth entrepreneurs in developed and developing economies; this paper aims to answer, what are the main definitions and typologies used to explain the high-growth phenomenon? How could be described the high-growth entrepreneurs’ life cycle? And what are the main findings and limitations in the empirical research of high-growth entrepreneurship? Design/methodology/approach To advance the study of high-growth entrepreneurship and provide a means through which these advancements can contribute to the understanding of how this phenomenon is defined, the authors organize and review the extant literature based on the foundational definition of entrepreneurship, the typologies used to describe it and the phases of new venture process. The final sample of this methodology consisted of 54 empirical works that explored this issue from 2010 to 2020. Findings This research develops a roadmap on the current state of high-growth entrepreneurship and provides suggestions to guide future research in extending the understanding of this phenomenon. Practical implications The theoretical frameworks developed could be used for both policymakers and entrepreneurs to understand the variables that affect the entrepreneurial life cycle and how they could increase the likelihood of survival of new firms in developed and developing economies. Originality/value The research provides evidence about the definitions and entrepreneurial typologies used to describe the high-growth ventures, bridging unconnected theoretical frameworks and proposing an integrated view to exploring the phenomena in a new setting.
