“…The evaluation criteria depend on whether the constructs used in the model are reflective or formative (Hair et al, 2017). In this study, a reflective model is used, and the evaluation criteria adopted are commonly used by the scientific community to assess and interpret results established through the PLS-SEM method (Götz et al, 2010; Hair et al, 2017; Laachach and Ettahri, 2023b; Sarstedt et al, 2014; Tenenhaus et al, 2005).…”

The importance of entrepreneurship in socio-economic development is increasingly present, not only in the papers of researchers but also in the minds of policymakers. In fact, entrepreneurship education has received a lot of attention because of the role it can play in stimulating entrepreneurial intention among students. Given that the tourism and hospitality industry is the economic sector most affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, this paper examines the relationship between entrepreneurship education and tourism entrepreneurial intention and reveals the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the entrepreneurial intention of students in tourism. Survey data was collected from 502 Moroccan students studying hospitality and tourism and analyzed using SEM-PLS. Our findings show a non-significant effect of entrepreneurial education on tourism entrepreneurial intention in the COVID-19 era. The results also reveal a significant negative effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on the entrepreneurial intentions of students in tourism.

“…Some researchers assert the positive role of VCs in improving investor performance through mentoring new ventures and helping to generate more technological results (Kortum and Lerner, 2001; Laachach and Ettahri, In press; Gompers, 2022). On the contrary, other researchers support the assumption that VCs have strong capabilities to identify and select projects that show innovation and growth potential.…”

PurposeDespite the innovation and performance of venture capital (VC)-backed firms receiving extensive attention, how and under what conditions VC influences innovation and performance remains unclear. The present paper draws on organizational learning (OL) theory to examine the moderating effect of syndication on backed firms.Design/methodology/approachDrawing on a literature review that connects OL and innovation to the performance of VC-backed firms, this study examines the effects of OL on innovation and firm performance among these firms by questioning the moderating effect of VC syndication. A sample of 78 VC-backed firms was used to test the robustness of the proposed model and causal relationships through the use of partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM).FindingsThe empirical evidence demonstrates that the intervention of venture capitalists can not only stimulate innovation, but also have a significantly positive effect on firm performance. Furthermore, the evidence reveals that syndication of VC investment supports backed firms in improving the firms' performance and generating innovation from acquired knowledge.Originality/valueTo the best of the authors' knowledge, this study is the first in North Africa that focuses on the moderating effects of venture capital syndication on the relationships between OL, innovation and firm performance.

“…First, we explain the basic framework of Giessen Amsterdam business model and how managers can adapt this framework to achieve survivability. Second, we evaluate relevant analysis question since the size of the company venture tells which level is the one that fits (Klein & Sorra, 1996;Klofsten et al, 2019;Laachach & Ettahri, 2023). The organizational level determines the appropriate analytical level of variables for success in a large organization.…”
