Effect entrepreneurship on innovation behavior and institutional environment: based on a comparative analysis

Abstract

To establish a basic model to evaluate the effect of entrepreneurship upon the organizational innovation, applying transaction costs and intellectual property right protection as institutional moderating variables. By collecting data from GEM's investigation, the dynamic connection between the entrepreneurship and innovation decision was explored and the differences in terms of innovation's motivations were statistically compared between the North and emerging countries. The entrepreneurship exerted positive effect on entrepreneurs' innovation decision. The decrease of transaction costs had positive moderating effect. With subsequent comparative analysis, the transaction costs exerted larger moderating effect, whereas intellectual property right protection had negative moderating effect in emerging countries. Individualized policy implications should be proposed according to the specific situations in emerging countries, which include adapting regional incubator, building information communication platform as well as applying appropriate intellectual property right protection.

Capturing Emerging Business Opportunities through Entrepreneurial Orientation and Innovation Behavior: The Moderating Role of Leader-Member Exchange

“…Moreover, innovation through entrepreneurial orientation can help companies achieve high corporate performance [3]. From this point of view, this study empirically verified and confirmed the inference that the entrepreneurial orientation of SMEs can create innovative behavior, improve organizational performance, and can help SMEs secure competitive advantage [19,[27][28][29][30][40][41][42][43][55][56][57][58]. In addition, our proposed mediating role of innovative behavior in the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation (i.e., innovativeness and proactiveness) and job performance is consistent with previous studies [32,[36][37][38][61][62][63][64][65][66].…”

“…In addition, Jiang and Fu [43] found that EO had a positive effect on IB and had a moderating effect on reducing transaction costs, in a study that analyzed the moderating effects of transaction costs and intellectual property protection on the relationship between EO and IB. As a result, we believe it is worthwhile to investigate the influence of EO on IB, and we suggest the following hypothesis: Hypothesis 1 (H1).…”

The Development Dilemma and Path Choice of Innovation and Entrepreneurship Education Based on Game Theory

“…Some universities are still limited to the narrow concept of entrepreneurship education, limit the outcomes of entrepreneurship education to the level of real benefits, and simply understand "entrepreneurship" as opening companies and running enterprises [7]. While, students are forced to accept this utilitarian concept and pursuit when receiving training, it may not only resist to the innovation and entrepreneurship behavior of students psychologically but also cause a negative attitude of excessively catering to the market when students thinking about entrepreneurial ideas [8]. Compared with the quality level of traditional entrepreneurship, the quality of talents in the field of innovation and entrepreneurship is still insufficient [9].…”
