“…While Nigeria was still trying to deal with its economic challenges, COVID-19, the recent pandemic escalated the economic crisis for the country by reducing the oil intake to a minimum, and the global lockdown reduced the required production of oil even more. This illustrates that entrepreneurship and innovation have a massive impact on the nation's economy, also advocated by Schumpeter's model (Jibir and Abdu, 2021;Feki and Mnif, 2016;Galindo and Picazo, 2013).Further, whenever the word 'crisis' comes up, 'management' follows because from survival to evolution, it all requires management. Crisis management is viewed as being ready for the possible risks which may arise due to the uncertainties by devising the action plan for different stages of crisis management, notably, pre-crisis, during the crisis, post-crisis (Ansell and Boin, 2019;Herbane, 2013).…”

Being a mono-economic nation, Nigeria is undergoing a tremendous economic crisis due to the increased impact of recession after the global pandemic appeared. The present scenario of COVID-19 and the prevalent economic crisis in Nigeria demand a crisis response. This study develops a crisis response theory that could help Nigeria sustain itself in the present crisis, which is deepening unemployment, poverty, and misery. Entrepreneurship is viewed as a pivotal engine for reinstating the declining economic state of a country. Thus, surveys are put together in this research from different institutions and entrepreneurial ventures to evaluate the impact of COVID-19. This research suggests possible solutions based on entrepreneurial innovativeness for a better future, as it affects Nigeria vis-à-vis its economic relationship with global economic dynamics. The pandemic has worsened the prevailing economic crisis in Nigeria. Entrepreneurship can help the Nigerian economy grow, but the deep roots of corruption and unreliable government policies make it challenging for entrepreneurs to thrive.

“…Incremental succession can form an effective pacification mechanism, avoiding the negative impact of a sudden break in a strong emotional attachment and reducing the enterprise’s negative response behaviors before the founder’s exit. The gradual withdrawal of the founder also provides a buffer and transition stage for the training and adaptation of successors to the internal organizational structure and strategic mode of the enterprise, which makes enterprises more long-term oriented and is beneficial to the development of innovative activities (Carayannis & Meissner, 2017 ; Jibir & Abdu, 2021 ; Ruiu & Breschi, 2019 ). When the family business owner intends to follow an incremental mode of succession, they often pay more attention to the long-term guidance of the enterprise and the positive strategic change of the enterprise.…”

The Impact of Intergenerational Succession Intention on Family Firm’s Innovation Strategy: Evidence from China

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

In the development and growth of family businesses, succession is an unsolvable problem, which is also a popular focus of academic research. For a family firm, succession may be a strategic decision but also a long-term and intricate “footrace.” It will have a significant impact on the long-term viability of a family firm if it is not handled appropriately. This study mainly explores the influences of family business owners’ intergenerational succession intention on their family firms’ innovation strategy in China. In addition, this study further examines the moderating role of the institutional environment in the above relationship. Therefore, the data in this article comes from a survey of 271 family businesses in eight different regions of China. Also, this paper can aid the smooth transition of intergenerational transmission of small and medium-sized family businesses in addition to the untroubled development of technological innovation activities. Specifically, the institutional environment plays a negative moderating role in the relationship between family succession, radical succession, technological innovation, and a positive regulating role in the relationship between single equity succession and technological innovation.

“…Sokolov and Zavyalova, 2021; Duodu and Rowlinson, 2020; Li et al , 2019; Nguyen, 2018), which focused on KM effects of certain IC components in different levels on IP and FP. An example of support for this analysis is underlined by Jibir and Abdu (2021) who state that companies willing to innovate need employees with expertise and knowledge to develop new ideas (Pradana et al , 2020). Hence, to achieve such goals, firms need not only competent employees but also those who are ready to apply their knowledge and expertise to their organizational activities (Costa and McCrae, 1992; Pradana et al , 2020).…”

“…Hence, to achieve such goals, firms need not only competent employees but also those who are ready to apply their knowledge and expertise to their organizational activities (Costa and McCrae, 1992; Pradana et al , 2020). The process of transforming IC components to performance depends on KM practices, especially among firms (Jibir and Abdu, 2021). In this vein, we highlight our research question about what would be the role of KM among IC components.…”

PurposeThe authors examined intellectual capital (IC) components, namely human, structural and relational capital, on firm performance (FP) and innovation performance (IP), while also examining the role of knowledge management (KM) in this context.Design/methodology/approachThe authors employed a meta-analysis using 81 studies from 2006 to 2020 using bivariate analysis, meta-analytic structure equation modeling (MASEM) and fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) to study IC components on FP and IP.FindingsThe MASEM results show that IC affects positively on FP, but not in a significant level and affects positively and significantly on IP. The findings also reveal that the moderation effect of KM affects positively on FP but not on IP. Additionally, the fsQCA analysis shows that KM and its multidimensional role has a positive impact on FP and IP and has a potential to be consistent as a dynamic component for IC.Research limitations/implicationsThe results may be limited by different statistical biases and inverse causality issues or associated with contextualities related to the studies of the sample selected by our criteria.Practical implicationsManagers can identify the appropriate IC elements and act accordingly. The study suggests that mobilizing human, structural, relational and knowledge capital must begin from the firms' birth and continue further during firms' stages of the business.Social implicationsIC is the bridge of evolution for future societies. Knowing how its components impact all levels of corporate environment indirectly influences how societies build up their social bases and policies to fulfill new professional generations.Originality/valueBy using the MASEM and fsQCA, the authors have more detailed insights into the multidimensional context of KM in IC components on firm and innovation performance identifying configurations of intangible resources.
