“…On the other hand, a definition of innovation, according to Schumpeter (1934, p. 66), includes “the introduction of new goods, new methods of production, the opening of new markets, the conquest of new sources of supply and the carrying out of a new organization of any industry”. Recently, innovation in family businesses is increasing the interest among researchers, practitioners and policymakers (Ramadani et al , 2020). De Massis et al (2015), using a multiple case study methodology (Dana and Dana 2005; Groenland and Dana, 2020), based on ten Italian (five family and five non-family) businesses concluded that family businesses are more engaged “in innovation processes aimed at developing and bringing to market incremental new products, which are carried out relying on a functional organization, with high levels of decisional autonomy given to the project leader” (p. 15).…”

PurposeThis paper analyses the impact of innovation orientation on the family business performance in Kuwait. Further, the aim of this paper is to understand the innovation culture among Kuwaiti family businesses and the innovation orientation concept and its importance for these businesses.Design/methodology/approachThe study will use a quantitative research methodology in order to investigate the relationship between independent variables: creativity, risk-taking, future orientation, openness to change and proactiveness with Kuwaiti business performance as a dependent variable. A well-structured questionnaire is distributed to 150 family businesses that operate in Kuwait, where 114 of the respondents responded positively. Structural equation modeling (SEM) analysis was used for evaluating the proposed model.FindingsThe results show that creativity, risk-taking and future orientation have significant relationship with business performance, while openness to change and proactiveness do not have any significant relationship with business performance.Research limitations/implicationsThis research is conducted during the period of initial months of COVID-19 pandemic, March–July 2020 respectively, and responses might be influenced by the current situation.Originality/valueThe correlation between family businesses and innovation orientation is not studied so far in Kuwait. There is a lack of studies about family business in general in Kuwait since there are only very few research studies. This is the first research about this topic that covers Kuwait as a country.

“…Family businesses play an important role for the economy growth of each country (Bharti, 2016; Dana and Ramadani, 2015; Ramadani et al , 2020a; Seaman, 2015). These businesses usually last for many years and the leadership role belongs to a person, who is a member of the family (Benavides et al , 2011; Ratten et al , 2018a).…”

Another limitation is that the study is done only with two nationalities.Originality/valueThere are a very few papers that treat family businesses in North Macedonia, and this is the only one that treats motivation, willingness and entrepreneurial mindset of second-generation members of family businesses in this country and the region.

“…Especially, a country like India which has a strong demographic and cultural base (Dana and Sharma, 2020; Dana, 2000), such studies are very useful to put a new insight on the topic. Further, the methodologies and scope of research have been changing (Dana and Dumez, 2015; Dana and Dana, 2005) various important factors like Sustainable Development and CSR are considered the key of success in the present time (Uduji et al , 2020; Simón-Moya, 2020; Mohsen et al , 2020; Ramadani et al , 2020). The study can be supportive to address such types of issues in the future.…”

Purpose This paper aims to study the mediating role of perceived environmental responsibility on the relationship between environmental sensitivity and pro-environmental behavioural intentions. Design/methodology/approach The sample of the study was 256 respondents. The snowball sampling technique was applied to reach the maximum number of respondents. The data was collected with three standardized scales. It was conducted on the general mass in the northern region of India. The hypotheses were tested by applying partial least square structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM). Findings The study exhibits a significant positive effect of environmental sensitivity (ES) on environmental responsibility (ER) and environmental behavioural intentions (EBI). Environmental responsibility has a significant positive effect on environmental behavioural intentions. As expected, environmental responsibility partially mediates the relationship between environmental sensitivity and environmental behaviour intentions. Research limitations/implications The study has tested the theory-driven hypotheses and confirmed the indirect effect of environmental sensitivity on environmental behavioural intentions. The sample of the study is mixed with various units such as students and professionals. The sample was not represented in any particular section of society. The responses of the respondents were measured at a five-point Likert scale. For better results, the seven-point Likert scale can be better. The study can be replicated in another region of India. Multi-group analysis can be a better scope of research in the future. The model can be compared based on demographic information, region, etc. Practical implications The government can rectify or make various policies on environmental protection based on the findings. The results can be useful for identifying training needs for the general mass. The study suggests that the government can organize various seminars on specific issues at the general platform. Overall, the study is also useful in policymaking and implementation regarding environmental protection. Originality/value As per the best of our knowledge, this is the first study exploring a causal link between environmental sensitivity, environmental responsibility and environmental protection conducted in India. The observed mediation effect of the ES on the EBI through ER adds new knowledge on the topic. As per the methodology point of view, the latest guidelines regarding PLS-SEM and mediation are followed, which can be useful for research in the future. Overall, the findings of the study exhibit an important contribution to the academic, methodology and general mass.
