“…The same implication of the researcher specialization in the current context in a Danube Member State (Romania) is also addressed by some authors (Drăgan et al, 2021) who refer to the entrepreneurship in the eco-label industry and analyze a wide range of countries. As a result of this scientific approach is the conclusion that the research experience and the personal attitude have a positive effect on the entrepreneurship education for the sustainable development.…”

“…For the EUSDR macro-region, this means improving the performance of the digital economy translated into the sustainable economy, reducing deviations from the Gaussian curve and reviving the use of the internet by individuals and businesses as a component of the digital economy. Although the topic is addressed in other research such as Cepoi ( 2021), Cristache et al (2019), Cunha et al (2020), Drăgan et al (2021), Matern et al (2020), our approach is more complex and better focused on the latest regional and global developments.…”

The paper aims to analyse the changing economic structure and the trends of the digitalization amplification through the prism of a dynamic multi-criteria model, assessing the strategic perspective by pivoting digitalization in the strategic equation. The main objectives of the research cover the context of vulnerability across the EUSDR countries, the solutions from the literature review and the definition, testing and implementing of a new dedicated model. The model takes into account regional indicators, reported by Eurostat. Statistical analysis procedures and methods were applied in order to capture the expected disparities under the impact of the pandemic, as well as harmonization with European Strategy for Danube Region (EUSDR) – specific impact indicators. The analysis uses la latest official statistical data from Eurostat. The importance of this scientific approach lies in the fact that the results are applicable to the wider region, the vast majority of the Danube states being EU members (9 states), 3 candidate states and 2 potential candidate states in the new geo-political and military context. States that are not yet EU members have regional and cross-border cooperation agreements with the EU. Moreover, the region itself has reacted in a unified way to the challenges of the economic and pandemic crises, the study being conducted over the period 2004–2020. In addition, EU Member States have additionally benefited from European emergency allocations to counter the effects of the global economic crisis and stem the spread of the pandemic. We used empirical and analytical methods, starting with the study of literature, data collection and consolidation of the database, its homogeneity and the application of modelling procedures. The major key findings are focused on the existence of a strong connection between investment effort, labour skills, sustainable development and the digital economy able to face new global and regional challenges. The policy implication of this research consist in offering viable elements capable of assisting regional decision-makers in adopting topical measures on digitisation and reconfiguring strategic regional connections to maintain a sustainable direction for the EUSDR. The recommendations from this study imbraca forma some directions for action related to labour high skills, digitalization, R&D investment and e-commerce.

“…New sustainable strategies are therefore needed if they are to increase the profitability of their business (Rantala et al, 2019). A multi-sided online platform connecting horse owners and potential investors has been suggested as a sustainable solution for funding the entrepreneurial initiatives of enthusiastic entrepreneurs in this field (Drăgan et al, 2021).…”

Capturing Entrepreneurial Opportunities in the Romanian Equine Sector: an Fs-Qca Approach

The paper proposes an analysis of entrepreneurial intentions in the equine sector in Romania and the identification of the variables influencing economic growth in this field. The equine sector plays a strategic role in the development of durable, sustainable and social entrepreneurship. The combination of equine services can ensure a business's survival during a crisis, and businesses involving horses can be considered complex. The equine sector is constantly changing: it is affected by politics, the social environment and new competitors. Changing customer requirements make it a difficult area in which to develop a sustainable start-up ecosystem. The present study is important in drawing attention to the main impediments faced by Romanian entrepreneurs in the development of the equine sector, a sector which-because of the emotional and physical benefits that horses offer-has great potential. The horse industry needs true "enthusiastic entrepreneurs" who have the management knowledge and skills to make their business more professional and profitable. It was found that the firm's organisation method is an important factor in predicting business continuity, in achieving medium-and long-term objectives, and in ensuring business success.

“…Though there are quite often people seeking new business opportunities, to be a successful entrepreneur demands consistent innovative ideas and skills, continually exploring creative ways to meet the needs of customers, and desires to do so in better quality, better and quicker ways (Welsh et al, 2016). Prospects to understand sustainability issues are worth exploring if novel approaches of meeting environmental doubts can be created and produced in ways that affect value to a substantial number of consumers in the industry and can generate earnings that are cheaper than the risk of the undertaking over time (Kawai & Kazumi, 2021;Bodolica & Spraggon, 2021;Drăgan, Panait & Schin, 2021;Farery & Nyang'au, 2021;Moore, Dau & Mingo, 2021;Maydiantoro, 2021;Wickstorm, et al 2017). Entrepreneurial sustainability is a mindset, or kind of behaviour and attitude, that contributes to corporate sustainability.…”

“…The core skills of developing over time the mentality and mindset of entrepreneurs, enhancing creativity and self-confidence in whatever business endeavour they pursue, have become critical. There is a strong consensus on the informal sector's magnitude, supporting approximately 70% of business growth in emerging regions and providing livelihoods for hundreds of millions worldwide (Kawai & Kazumi, 2021;Bodolica & Spraggon, 2021;Drăgan, Panait & Schin, 2021;Farery & Nyang'au, 2021;Moore, Dau & Mingo, 2021;Maydiantoro, 2021;Schneider & Enste, 2013).…”
