“…The fourth type of biased information use is for creating or maintaining political bases within the organization (Menon and Varadarajan, 1992, p. 62). The meaning is that information is used in order to gain power within the firm, with less regard, if at all, for the real meaning of the competitive information (Beyer and Trice, 1982;Ulijn and Brown, 2004). This political use of information is captured in four items (See appendix).…”

The proliferation of Web-based information sources and social media draw firms' attention to these channels as sources of competitive intelligence (CI). To date, research has focused mainly on information collection techniques rather than on CI uses and its influence on firm performance. We define CI embeddedness as the extent to which management and employees incorporate CI in daily routines, so that actionable knowledge is transferred throughout the organization. A survey of 124 decision makers reveals positive impact of Web CI sources as well as alliances with information providers on CI embeddedness. Furthermore, while CI embeddedness shows no direct influence on firms' performance, it has a mediated effect on performance through customer satisfaction.

Likewise, there is often no clear definition of and distinction among various social institutions.…”

Schumpeter's canonical depiction of the entrepreneur as an agent of social and economic change implies that entrepreneurs are especially sensitive to the social environment. We use an organizing framework based on institutional economics, in combination with lessons from cross-cultural psychology, to consider the social dimensions of entrepreneurship. The level and modes of entrepreneurial activity are affected by the surrounding culture and by legal rules. Entrepreneurs may partially overcome institutional deficiencies by relying on social networks that facilitate reputational bonding as a means for resource-sharing.

“…There is a link with creativity and innovation with new markets, products, processes and technology. Entrepreneurship involves competitive actions to win the market, acting to exploit opportunities and actors to bear risks (Ulijn & Brown, 2004). Considering a company operating in the fashion industry, forced innovation is fundamental because the innovation ingredient is necessary to relaunch, recreate and rethink at the whole organizational level (Maramotti, 2000).…”
