Innovative outcomes from migrant entrepreneurship: a matter of whether you think you can, or think you can’t

Entrepreneurial migrants from/in emerging economies: breaking taboos and stereotypes

“…suggested that the thinking that underlies entrepreneurship is not static, but dynamics, since people act within specific a variety of active environments with varying degrees of distribution of such thinking across minds and tools. Therefore, migration as a phenomenon may provide an interesting context for the ongoing development of this study area (Poblete, 2018;Poblete & Mandakovic, 2020). To contribute to this academic debate, we encourage potential authors to incite the discussion on the four themes of socially situated cognitions (action-oriented, embodied, situated, and distributed) within entrepreneurial migrants.…”

“…The link between entrepreneurship, innovation, and internationalization angles is an advancing view of migration from/in emerging economies (Elo et al, 2018;Poblete & Mandakovic, 2020;Bolzani et al, 2020). By living in different cultures, migrants encounter opportunities to introduce/ adapt their products/services to the host customers' preferences and transfer innovations/technologies based on the needs of the home customers.…”

The Impact of Knowledge Management Process and Intellectual Capital on Entrepreneurial Orientation and Innovation

“…Prior literature indicates that intellectual capital positively influences entrepreneurial orientation ( Monteiro et al, 2019 ; Poblete and Mandakovic, 2020 ). Entrepreneurial orientation, as a strategy, may facilitate the business through looking forward, garb the market opportunities, introducing the innovative products, differentiating the processes, and making a stable position of the organization ( García-Villaverde et al, 2018 ).…”

“… Kianto et al (2017) argued that intellectual capital and entrepreneurial orientation are the internal capabilities of organizations that are also related to the external market condition and innovation. Inspiring from the entrepreneurship literature, one of the more significant findings to emerge, is that entrepreneurship comes to play as a lever to mobilize a company’s various knowledge resources more effectively and as the mediator between intellectual capital components and innovation ( Kollmann et al, 2016 ; Poblete and Mandakovic, 2020 ). Moreover, the RBV addresses the issue of how to acquire and exploit distinct resources of an intellectual capital to achieve entrepreneurial orientation and innovation within a firm to enhance its competitive performance ( Alshanty and Emeagwali, 2019 ).…”

“…After all, prior studies explore different outcomes of intellectual capital and innovation ( Han and Li, 2015 ; Obeidat et al, 2017 ), while little is known about the relationship between knowledge management and innovation ( McDowell et al, 2018 ; Alrowwad et al, 2020 ). Therefore, this study is the first that explores the level of innovation in developing countries like Pakistan because Pakistan stands at a very low pace in entrepreneurship and innovation compared to its neighbor countries in Asia ( Poblete and Mandakovic, 2020 ; Tok, 2020 ). It is pertinent to mention that a prior study has been conducted in SMEs, manufacturing, and pharmaceutical sectors ( McDowell et al, 2018 ), but the current study aims to testify to the relationship in the IT (hi-Tec) sector because the IT industry plays a crucial role in enhancing the innovation in the era of digitalization, and many prior studies call for enhancing the understating of the innovation.…”
