“…According to Zahra et al (2000) corporate entrepreneurship is the key for firms in emerging economies to revitalize, reconfigure resources, and transform into market‐oriented firms that are ready to compete in the global economy. Between 1995 and 2004 employees' entrepreneurial contribution grew in Russia (Croucher and Rizov, 2011). There are also positive tendencies in the creation of entrepreneurial mechanisms in Russian firms (Croucher and Rizov, 2011).…”

Firm growth and performance are strongly dependent on the readiness and willingness of the top management team or business owner to delegate authority for the decision‐making process.…”

Purpose -The purpose of this paper is to examine the ability of Russian firms to develop strategic entrepreneurship (SE) as a source of sustainable competitive advantage in a turbulent and hostile business environment. It aims to suggest a model of SE that includes two components -exploration and exploitation -and to test this model on 500 Russian small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) which show the influence of these components on firm performance. It also aims to address one of the most fundamental questions confronting the international business (IB) field: "What determines the success and failure of firms around the world?". Design/methodology/approach -The paper presents empirical research with a regression analysis of 500 Russian SMEs operating in Moscow and St Petersburg in three major industries: information technologies and communications (ICT), hotels, restaurants, and cafes (HoReCa) and wholesale/retail. Findings -The Russian firms show a positive influence of exploration and exploitation on firm performance. Moreover, the influence of specific elements of exploration and exploitation was analyzed and entrepreneurial values, investments in internal resources, knowledge management and developmental changes were determined to be significant factors constituting SE and having a positive relationship with firm performance.Research limitations/implications -The research is limited by its sample, which includes only three industries and the number of dependent variables tested. Further research can focus on other performance indicators, industries and different settings. Originality/value -The paper contributes to the existing literature on entrepreneurship and IB in two ways. The theoretical contribution in entrepreneurship literature is linked to development and testing of the SE model. It also contributes to IB literature by proposing that SE is one of the possible sources for creating a successful firm in an emerging economy context such as in Russia.

“…In order to cultivate corporate entrepreneurship internally, scholars suggest that the firm should encourage its employees to embrace EEA. This is because EEA represents the individual employees' intention to engage in entrepreneurial acts (Franco, 2005), which appears to be the building block for corporate entrepreneurship (Croucher & Rizov, 2011;Finkle, 2012).…”

Promoting employee entrepreneurial attitudes: an investigation of Chinese state-owned enterprises

Drawing from social information processing theory, we explain the relationship among perceived investment in employee development (PIED), psychological climate, and employee entrepreneurial attitudes (EEA). We test our hypotheses by conducting two survey studies of two different Chinese state-owned enterprises (N = 157; N = 112). The results indicate that climates for autonomy and innovation mediate the relationship between PIED and EEA. Furthermore, we differentiate between two types of supervisor behaviour for encouraging creativity in the workplace: promoting collaboration and intellectual stimulation. We find that promoting collaboration enhances the effects of PIED on the climate for autonomy, while intellectual stimulation amplifies the effects of PIED on the climate for innovation. Our research not only extends the current academic literature by investigating the processes (how) and contingencies (when) whereby PIED affects EEA, but also reveals factors for promoting corporate entrepreneurship in the context of Chinese SOEs. Our findings also offer critical insights for managers by suggesting that they can use human resource management practices and supervision tactics to create a working environment that allows corporate entrepreneurship to flourish.

“…It is about effective and efficient utilization of human recourse to achieve goals and objectives of the organization. Previous studies on the relationship between HR practices and firm performance have used balanced score card (BSC) or key performance indicators (KPI) across industries (Chand and Katou, 2007;Rizov and Croucher, 2009;Abdullah et al, 2009;Khan, 2010;Osman et al, 2011). However, there is lack of literature supporting application of BSC or KPI in education sector (Stavrakakis et al, 2010;Nistor, 2009;Jonen and Simgen, 2006;Karathanos and Karathanos, 2005).…”

The purpose of this paper is to study the impact of human resource management (HRM) practices on organizational performance. A total of 200 employees from a public university comprising of both academicians and non-academicians responded to the survey. The survey questionnaire had 33 items covering selected demographic factors, HRM practices and university performance. The study has found that HRM practices: recruitment and selection, training, performance appraisal, compensation and employee participation have a significant relationship with university performance. Training and performance appraisal gave highest contribution towards university performance. If the university aims to upgrade university performance, it should emphasize more on these HRM practices. Most studies have focused impact on HRM practices in manufacturing sector and this study targeted service sector, especially higher education sector. It also has attempted to add knowledge on the impact of HRM practices on university performance in Sri Lanka combining both the academicians and non-academic staff.
