“…Therefore, the context in which the creation and transfer of knowledge takes place (Audretsch et al, 2020;Hitt et al, 2011) has been assessed. To this end, the link between culture and the development of mediation initiatives has been analyzed (Facchini et al, 2021). Even though the literature indicates a link between culture and entrepreneurial activity (Akehurst et al, 2009;Hornsby et al, 2002), in our case, this relationship was not found, and H2 was not consequently accepted.…”

“…Given the dynamic context, adaptability is crucial in entrepreneurship (Haynie et al, 2012); in addition, the proactive attitude and tendency of the organization allows the development of competitive advantage. Organizational culture, considered as a structure of meanings, is a critical factor that explains the functioning of organizations, as it helps in decision making, allowing the development of effective strategies (Facchini et al, 2021). Slater and Narver (1995) identified market orientation and intrapreneurship as cultural aspects that influence organizational learning.…”

“…Albeit, the effect of culture has been analyzed considering the link with innovation on entrepreneurship, it is a field of study that has received little attention (Facchini et al, 2021). Organizational reinforcement is a type of organizational culture that fosters, among other elements, the mechanisms for developing new ideas, the active flow of ideas and the fair judgment of ideas.…”

Purpose The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of corporate entrepreneurship. To this end, the learning process of the individual in skills, competencies and agile methodologies is considered, as well as the influence of corporate culture, ways of working and organizational capabilities in small and medium enterprises (SMEs). Design/methodology/approach This study was performed by means of an email survey questionnaire, conducted on 241 SMEs in Madrid and Guadalajara (Spain). The hypotheses were tested with structural equation modeling (SEM). Findings The results yielded a positive and direct link between the organization and the training of business leaders in programs of skills and competencies, as well as between this training and corporate entrepreneurship processes carried out in the organization. However, there is an indirect relationship between organizational activity and processes of the organization and intrapreneurship activities. Research limitations/implications The research provides a practical contribution to the SME perspective and raises awareness of the importance of intrapreneurial activities for business development. Hence, it becomes relevant to focus on training plans that have a direct impact on the development of business innovations that lead to corporate entrepreneurship. Originality/value This research contributes to contextualize and enrich the literature on corporate entrepreneurship by addressing the gap related to corporate culture, innovation and skills, through a model that shows the relationship between the variables.

(2020) reported the Emiratis liking for public jobs (that are in short supply now) and the existence of a specific culture unconducive to entrepreneurship.…”

As a result of the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, restrictive measures have been introduced in Russia, as in other countries of the world, among them the suspension of the activities of a large number of enterprises, including small and medium-sized enterprises. According to available statistics, in Russia about 10% of graduates of higher education institutions in the field of accounting and economics run their own business or participate in family business. In this connection, priority should be given to disciplines that will provide knowledge and skills on the narrowly focused aspects of the activities of students of higher economic registration institutions, emphasizing the competencies of their chosen future profession. It is also important to identify those segments of small and medium-sized businesses that have been most affected by the quarantine. Research into the impact of the temporary suspension of the work of small and medium-sized business organizations, as the most sensitive segment of the economy, is impossible without a simultaneous analysis of measures to support small and medium-sized businesses by the State. One of the main challenges facing the Government is to increase the number of small and medium-sized businesses. This is because small enterprises, as an important part of the economic structure, increase the flexibility and adaptability of the economy, promote competition, create a special innovation environment and foster social stability, Promote the transition to a resource-efficient type of economic growth. Therefore, the comprehensive approach to education of accounting specialists in small and medium-sized enterprises, as described in our study, should be based on the disclosure of specific aspects, expressed concern about the possible prospects for the recovery of the economic sector in question.
