“…Governance plays an important role in entrepreneurship. For economic growth, entrepreneurship should be stimulated and good governance is a necessary component (Ribeiro-Soriano & Galindo-Martín, 2012). Chambers and Munemo (2017) investigated the influence of start-up rules and the quality of institutions on the level of new business formation of 119 countries over the period from 2001 to 2012.…”

The present study examines the effect of country-level corporate governance (CLCG) and Directors' Liability (DL) on Entrepreneurial Framework Conditions (EFCs) across 52 countries from 2014 up to 2017 using balanced panel data and Panel Correction Standard Error estimation. The results revealed that the CLCG has a significant impact across EFCs dimensions. Further, the results declared that the impact of DL is significant and positive in countries that have a high score of DL, but this impact is statistically negative in countries that have a low score of DL. The findings have momentous implications for entrepreneurs, policymakers, regulators, international organizations, and academicians. The study makes novel contributions to the strand literature underpinning countrylevel governance and the role of directors' liability with EFCs. It brings a useful insight into a previously undocumented area of research highlighting the importance of CLCG dimensions and DL as important factors and determinants for better entrepreneurial conditions.

“…Although the interrelationship between governments and entrepreneurship is complex, the former can promote the latter by contributing to the development of institutional arrangements aimed at boosting entrepreneurial activities (Spencer, Murtha and Lenway, ). For example, policies involving tax breaks and financial subsidies may energize emerging new sectors (Ribeiro‐Soriano and Galindo‐Martín, ). One study found that entrepreneurship policies undertaken by the UK Labour governments between 1997 and 2010 helped improve regional competitiveness by addressing the economic and social problems constraining new business formation (Huggins and Williams, ).…”

Due to the intertwined nature of private and public interests, local governments tend to use collaborative partnerships involving entrepreneurs to promote regional entrepreneurship. However, there is still a gap in the theory with regard to the mechanisms underpinning these collaborative partnerships. Drawing on the institutional entrepreneurship literature, we identify the enabling conditions and articulate the role played by local government as an institutional entrepreneur in fostering regional entrepreneurship through entrepreneurial public–private collaborative partnerships. This paper explicates two distinct mechanisms – the establishment of new institutional arrangements by the institutional entrepreneur and the advocation of diffusion by other actors – that underpin entrepreneurial public–private collaborative partnerships. Importantly, we underscore the crucial role played by returnee entrepreneurs who interact collaboratively with the institutional entrepreneur in affecting institutional change and fostering regional entrepreneurship. We conduct in‐depth qualitative interviews with local government officials, entrepreneurs and high‐tech park managers, in conjunction with performing content analysis of policy documents in a peripheral region of China – areas that have largely been neglected in scholarly research. This paper concludes with some theoretical and policy implications for public management and entrepreneurship.

“…Third, for start-ups with innovation capabilities such as knowledge and technology, government support can contribute to stable growth, despite several studies in which the policy effect of government support for start-ups was criticised [62]. However, this study demonstrated that for start-ups in knowledge-based and high-tech industries-and thus, with a high potential for innovation-driven entrepreneurship, as well as for start-ups with innovation capabilities-government support policies as a key instrument to increase both their survival and their potential transformation into high-growth companies.…”

Innovation Capabilities and the Performance of Start-Ups in Korea: The Role of Government Support Policies

What kind of capacity is needed to improve the performance of start-ups? How effective are government support policies in improving start-up performance? Start-ups are critical firm group for ensuring the prospective and sustainable growth of an economy, and thus many countries’ governments have established support policies and they are likely to engage more widely in forward-looking political support activities to ensure further growth and expansion. In this paper, the effect of innovation capabilities and government support policies on start-up performance is examined. We used an unbalanced panel data analysis with a random effect generalized least squares. We investigated the effect of government support policies on 4368 Korean start-ups. The findings indicated that technology and knowledge capabilities had positive effects on the sales performance of start-ups, and government financial support positively affected the relationship between knowledge capability and firm performance. However, when government financial support increased, marketing capability was negatively associated with firm performance. These results demonstrate the significant role of government financial support, including its crowding in but also its crowding out effect. Practical implications: To be more effective, governments should employ innovation-driven entrepreneurship policy approaches to support start-ups. To improve their performance, start-ups need to increase their technology and knowledge capabilities. This study extends recent efforts to understand more fully the effect of government support policies on start-ups differing in their technology, knowledge, and marketing capabilities.
