“…This research continues the streamline of Journal of Knowledge Economy (JKE) by integrating three concepts of internal marketing, entrepreneurial orientation, and innovation in a unique business context, namely, family businesses. Although more attention has been devoted on entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial orientation (see, for example, Kassicieh 2010; Vliamos and Tzeremes 2012;Iddrisu et al 2012;Izzrech et al 2013;Sindakis and Kitsios 2016;Kiani Mavi 2014;Dubina et al 2017) and innovation (Bhattacharya 2011;Panagopoulos 2011;Hewing 2012;Khatib et al 2013;Srholec 2014;Drivas et al 2014;Carayannis et al 2014;Cecere and Ozman 2014;Apanasovich 2016;Marques et al 2016;Ferreira et al 2017;Holtskog 2017) in the knowledgebased economies within previously published papers of JKE, but, few empirical studies have highlighted the importance of internal marketing that conditioned the development of entrepreneurial orientation and innovation in family businesses. The literature connecting internal marketing theory to innovation is rather slim.…”

The purpose of this paper is to examine the effect of internal marketing and entrepreneurial orientation on innovation in family businesses. By reviewing related literature, the relationships among internal marketing, entrepreneurial orientation, and innovation were hypothesized. The developed conceptual model is tested using structural equation modeling (SEM) using a sample of 288 family businesses. The result of the SEM model shows that both internal marketing and entrepreneurial orientation act as a basis for innovation in family businesses. Further, it was revealed that internal marketing is key determinant of entrepreneurial orientation in the context of family business. The study has contributed to the literature by demonstrating the routes through which internal marketing and entrepreneurial orientation impact on innovation in the case of family businesses.

“…Palestinian manufacturing sector is characterized by small scale activities in traditional sectors, where the vast majority of companies are considered SMEs (Kathib et al, 2012). Literature collects some recent studies about SME's TQM implementation in specific countries, such as Portugal (Sousa et al, 2005), Malaysia (Eng and Yussof, 2006) or Ethiopia (Temtime and Solomon, 2002).…”

The purpose of this paper is to examine the relationship between Total Quality Management (TQM) practices, competitive strategies -cost leadership and differentiation-and firm performance in the Palestinian economy. Within this study total quality management has been conceptualized as soft and hard practices, in congruence with the literature. An empirical analysis based upon an extensive validation process was applied to refine TQM, competitive strategies and financial performance scales. Data were collected through surveying 202 in Palestinian industrial small and medium enterprises (SMEs). Structural Equation Modeling was carried out to test the anticipated relationships. Results derived from this study show that TQM practices have indirect, positive and significant relationship with financial performance through competitive strategies. In addition, a direct, positive and significant relationship between competitive strategies and financial performance was observed. Results derived from this study might help managers to implement TQM practices in order to effectively allocate resources and improve financial performance.

“…Several studies report opposing trends of annual rainfall for the eastern Mediterranean (e.g. Steinberger and Gazit-Yaari 1996 ; Jacobeit et al 2007 ; Khatib et al 2007 ), a decrease of rainfall amounts in the northern part of Israel and increase for southern regions during recent decades. There are indications that the observed trend differences are the outcome of changes in synoptic conditions in the eastern Mediterranean region ( Steinberger and Gazit-Yaari 1996 ).…”

We investigated the extent of poleward shifts in the distribution range of Agonum viridicupreum due to climate change in the western Palaearctic. Species’ records were obtained from extensive literature sources as well as from collections, and consistent amateur entomologists’ recordings. Within the general geographic range of the species, we analyzed in detail two parts of both, the northern and southern distribution range boundaries: (1 and 2) north-western Germany (leading or high-latitude edge), (3) Israel and (4) southern Italy (rear or low-latitude edge). Temporal changes in the occurrence data of the species indicated a northward shift of the leading edge of a minimum of 100 km within the last 50 to 100 years. In contrast, according to the data gathered, the rear edge has not changed during the last decades. Further studies are needed in order to fully understand the underlying mechanisms of the different behaviour of leading and rear range edges of Agonum viridicupreum in the current context of global change. Despite our incomplete understanding, chronosequences of the occurrence of the given species have the potential to optimize climate niche modelling to predict trends in the distribution range in the future.
