“…There are many synonyms for external networks, like external ties [47], social capital [48,49], and social networks [50], indicating that external networks are a broad concept. This breadth or wideness is captured by the comprehensive definition of external networks provided by Gulati, Nohria, and Zaheer, who define external networks as "a firm's set of relationships, both horizontal and vertical, with other organizations-be they suppliers, customers, competitors, or other entities-including relationships across industries and countries" ( [51], p. 203).…”

This paper examines the roles of positive orientation, financial slack, and external networks in the sustainability of small and medium-sized manufacturing enterprises (SMEs) following the global financial crisis in 2008–2009. The financial crisis is a good example of sudden, unexpected external disruption, in which a firm’s resilience as well as sustainability is seriously tested. Using a sample of 207 manufacturing SMEs in Hong Kong, we tested the simultaneous effects of positive orientation, financial slack, and external networks on post-crisis firm performance through strategic change. Our findings show that positive orientation and external networks play an enabling role in strategic change, which in turn leads to high performance. The enabling role of financial slack is, however, not supported. The study also shows that positive orientation, financial slack, and external networks have direct and positive effects on firm performance. The results provide academics and practitioners with a new perspective of the underlying mechanism that sustains the firm performance of SMEs under a financial crisis.

“…Although the percentage of above-average individuals in wealth accumulation has increased over decades in India, women entrepreneurs are still remarkably few, and growth has been gradual, even after 75 years of independence. As per the statistics, 20% of the Indian enterprises are women-owned, providing job opportunities to approximately 25 million people (Sahi et al ., 2023; Tripathi and Singh, 2018).…”

PurposeResearch on women-owned businesses is more extensive in developed countries than in developing countries. This prompted the authors to investigate the factors that affect women entrepreneurs' motives to start a business and the challenges they faced in running their businesses in India.Design/methodology/approachData for the analysis were collected from 620 respondents using a structured questionnaire and in-depth interviews with 20 women entrepreneurs. The data were then analyzed using descriptive and factor analysis in the statistical software “SPSS” (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences).FindingsThe findings showed that the primary motivation for women to launch their own business was to achieve self-employment. Other motivations include increasing income and allowing women to follow their passion. Factor analysis indicates that women entrepreneurs are more motivated by push than pull factors. The research also shows that women encounter challenges in their entrepreneurial journey, such as access to financing, issues with gender equality and social and cultural obligations.Originality/valueThe study on women entrepreneurs in the Indian context is limited. This study responds to a need of better understanding of women motivations and challenges. By studying these constructs, the study shows that start-up motives and challenges faced by female entrepreneurs are unique to different contexts.
