“…Mining typically has positive employment and entrepreneurial impacts, but the magnitude of these impacts differs, depending on the geographical region. In addition, local entrepreneurs may have significant benefits since they form the base for the provision of non-mining and non-agricultural related services and goods to the wider mining community [85,86]. The Southern African Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (SAIMM) Young Professionals Council (YPC) has recognized that there is a need for young entrepreneurs, professionals considering the entrepreneurial route and businesses to share ideas and insights into the metals industry in a professional and engaging environment and has organized in 2019 a conference to promote all these issues [87].…”

The social license to operate (SLO) is an informal social contract that aims to bridge the gap among the views of the most important stakeholders involved in mining activities. The novelty of this paper lies in the fact that it discusses the current situation and the future prospects of granting a SLO, mainly at the European Union (EU) level, by considering the mine of the future, in terms of deep sea and landfill mining, and the criticality of raw materials that are required by high tech products as well as by emerging and green technologies. Also, it highlights the factors that may affect the views of all involved stakeholders, focusing on the joint efforts that are required by the industry and the society as well as on the main technological, social, political and legal issues which are relevant to the process. It is believed that if trust is developed between the involved stakeholders the SLO may prove an important tool in future mining in order to safeguard the supply of raw materials, minimize the environmental footprint and improve the quality of life in the affected regions. Finally, a conceptual flowsheet involving the main steps that may be followed for granting a SLO is proposed.

“…'Exporting' and 'ambition to internationalise' are not notorious aspirations among rural entrepreneurs. Rural entrepreneurs want their business to primarily suit their lifestyle and, thus, they would rather keep their (Malebana, 2017) Farm diversification (Barbieri & Mshenga, 2008;Basson & Erdiaw-kwasie, 2019;Brünjes & Diez, 2012;Folmer et al, 2010;Hassink et al, 2016;Milone & Ventura, 2018;Radicic et al, 2017;Sohns & Diez, 2017) 6.

The objective of the article is to identify the specific contextual factors and mechanisms that are important for the functioning of entrepreneurial ecosystems in rural areas. Research Design & Methods: Qualitative analysis of 70 high-quality articles which results from a systematic literature review. Findings: Rural poverty, natural resources endowment, peripheral location, and rural cultural values are important features of rurality which influences entrepreneurial ecosystems' performance in several ways. Implications & Recommendations: Features of rurality are yet to be embedded into current general entrepreneurial ecosystem frameworks as they have the potential to enhance models' capacity to capture local aspects when employed to understand and measure entrepreneurship in rural contexts. Contribution & Value Added: This study makes an important contribution by identifying the relevant factors and mechanisms associated with entrepreneurial ecosystems in rural contexts from the emerging literature in rural entrepreneurship.

Entrepreneurial Orientation is a key source of intangible value for organizations to sustain the competitive advantage through highlighting the new opportunities available in the business environment, exploiting them optimally and making them successful especially in a highly competitive business environment. EO has emerged as an area of research and EO impact studies have become a sub-field in Entrepreneurship Education research. The objectives of the study are to determine the effect of Organizational Culture on EO and also to examine the effect of Entrepreneurship Orientation (EO) on firm performance. The study population refers to the managers of SMEs that are registered with the Small and Medium Enterprises Development Agency of Nigeria (SMEDAN) in Lagos State. Analysis of variance (ANOVA), correlation efficient and regression analysis was adopted. The research found that organizational culture is EO driven. Entrepreneurial orientation can be supported through organizational culture hence; organizational culture may have the capability to influence SMEs performance and therefore can lead to enhancement in competitiveness. The study also found a positive relationship between EO and firm performance which can be interpreted by the fact that a high EO level in firms shows that the firm is highly innovative, proactive and capable of undertaking risky activities. The study recommends that Entrepreneurial Orientation should be encouraged in the SME sector by undertaking different policy measures, there by resulting in better performance. The firm’s performance can be leveraged to enhance organizational learning processes, creative performance, corporate performance, improved decision making processes and adaptation to a rapidly changing work environment.
