Purpose: This research has the objective of developing a theoretical model to provide insights into the association between leadership and entrepreneurship with tourism villages' ability to create creative products and survivability, while underlying the moderating role of external supports in such relationships. Empirically, this research is in-time since the government had priovided significant supports to the tourism during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Design/methodology/approach: Quantitative research was conducted at tourism villages in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Data were analyzed using SEM-PLS. The sample group consisted of 154 respondents who were tourism villages' managers.
Findings: Results show that (1) Tourism Village Leadership influences positively Creative Product Outcome and Business Survival, (2) Tourism Village Entrepreneurship influences positively Creative Product Outcome and Business Survival, (3) External Support moderates the influence of Tourism Village Leadership on Creative Product Outcome and Business Survival, 4) External Support moderates the influence of Tourism Village Entrepreneurship on Business Survival.

As the moderating variable, the external role becomes important to assess its role in strengthening or weakening the potential that village communities have
The proposed model of SMIs in conducting internationalization business is to investigate the entrepreneurial orientation and network capital in influencing international business and its impact on business performance in SMIs. This model also uses the size of SMIs as moderator variables that influence the degree of internationalization and business performance. This model can be implemented for research areas of internationalization of small medium enterprises especially for developing country like Indonesia.

This study aims to analyze the effect of network development strategy toward the women entrepreneurs' satisfaction. Hypothesis were tested by multivariate statistics-Partial Least Square. The population is owners or managers of SMEs in fashion or garment industries. Stratified random sampling is occupied to get 78 women entrepreneurs in West Java.

Higher education institutions as public sectors are considered by some to be unable to provide optimal impact in meeting the needs of industries and businesses. This condition raises demands to operate entrepreneurially, leading to commercialization of research result to encourage the acceleration of innovation. Higher education institutions must be encouraged towards an entrepreneurial state of mind. In order to take a preliminary stage, this paper proposed model using 4 variables are: organization, learning organization, entrepreneurial orientation and public value. Respondents participate in this research 146 people from public and private universities. Almost all of hypotheses testing are proven to have significant influence using PLS (Partial Least Square). This study successfully proved that organizations can improve learning orientation and entrepreneurial orientation among middle manager in higher education institutions. This research also has succeeded in proving that entrepreneurial orientation and commitment to learning have been proven to improve public value (performance). In the future, this modelling can be used as a reference for conducting field studies, so that concrete facts in the field on the "possibility to achieve entrepreneurial university in Indonesia" can be obtained.
