Investigating Relationship of Innovation and Entrepreneurship Adoption Concept and University Competitive Advantage: A Field Study

This paper explored the link between dynamic capabilities, innovation capabilities, and competitive advantage of telecommunication companies in Ghana, considering a mediation interaction. Data were obtained from two hundred and fifty (250) employees from selected telecommunication companies in the Accra metropolis through simple random probability sampling. However, two hundred and forty-two (242) responses were deemed accurate and used in the analysis. Partial Least Squares (PLS) based on Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was employed in the analysis. From the findings, this study’s data met internal consistency reliability, convergent, and discriminant validity. Dynamic capabilities had a positive and significant impact on innovation capability and competitive advantage. Also, dynamic capabilities through innovation capability positively impacted competitive advantage and were statistically significant. Based on the findings, it’s recommended that organizations and managers consider both exploitation and exploration competencies in product development as both competencies influence various aspects of an organization’s competitive advantage, as this will help ensure organizations’ sustainable performance and thus remain competitive.

As a result, 254 teachers and as well as 110 entrepreneurs were drawn making the sampled subjects to be 364. The samples were drawn from the population using Krejcie and Morgan table (1970). For the selection of the sample, simple sample random technique was employed by applying snow ball. This study established 10 important elements of managerial entrepreneurial competencies. The study found that managerial entrepreneurial competencies are worth for inclusion into the technical college programs curriculum in Nigeria.

Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) has many useful purposes in social sciences research. The most common EFA uses between researchers involves reducing reasonably enormous variables to manageable ones, developing and sanitizing a novel instrument’s scales and examining the relationships between variables to make a theory. The purpose of this study was to identify and analyzed a managerial entrepreneurial competency (MEC) for technical college programs in northwest geo-political zone of Nigeria. A quantitative research approach was used to develop insight from the experts’ perspectives via a survey questionnaire. The samples of the study involved 331experts including 249 teachers from nine technical colleges and 82 SMEs in the three states of the zone. Data collected were analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) 24, with a value of 0.864 as the Cronbach’s alpha. Moreover, the value for KMO measure of sampling adequacy equaled 0.830 and the value for Bartlett’s test was significant at 0.000 level. Consequently, out of the 15 elements run for the EFA, three elements were deleted because they did not meet the prerequisite of the factor analysis. The findings identified twelve important competencies needed for integration into technical college programs curricular. Therefore, the researchers recommended that the identified managerial entrepreneurial competencies are appropriate for integration into technical college programs curricular for sustainable entrepreneurship training of technical college student for self-employment.
