“…As entrepreneurship research on the context of entrepreneurs and small businesses' activities emerges, on the other hand, it is not sufficient to simply control for contextual variables in the analysis of entrepreneurial innovations (Zahra, Wright and Abdelgawad, 2014). As Aldrich and Martinez (2001) noted, it might grossly ignore the micro foundations of entrepreneurial activities.…”

To that end, I explore how social (network), spatial (region), and industrial (technology) factors affect the SBIR's ability to do this. Specifically, I examine the contextual effects of network, regional, and industrial characteristics on the success of technology transition using various regression models. To incorporate multilevel factors, in particular, I employ hierarchical linear models with firm-and region/ industry-level variables related to state-level innovation capacity, anchor tenants, innovation brokers, technology life cycle, technology market, technological and network positions of SBIR awardees in relation to the DOD (including its research laboratories) and prime contractors.Findings of this dissertation include: small firms' larger SBIR awards, higher age, more cutting-edge technology or high-tech focus are more likely to lead to success in technology transition; small firms' higher technological distance (in particular, relative to prime contractors) and more central network position are more likely to facilitate technology transition; the number of defense labs in a state may matter in small firms' winning federal procurement contracts and improving their return on investment; the number of DOD mentors (i.e., large prime contractors who signed up for mentoring small busin...

“…In addition to this, the study will identify the ethical factors that entrepreneurs must take into consideration when starting their commercial establishments (Staniewski, Slomski, & Awruk, 2015). With the use of Shari'a laws in the GCC countries, the paper will identify the ethical practices that apply universally and those that are influenced by the Islamic law (Aldrich & Martinez, 2001). Finally, it will determine the role of Islamic business ethics in the growth of Small and Mediumsized Enterprises (SMEs) in the GCC (Acs et al, 2009).…”

The globalization had a major impact in relocation of the investments across the world. GCC, due to many factors, represent an attractive business environment. Entrepreneurial ethics in GCC is a topic which is almost not covered in specialized literature. This study used purposive sample and aims to analyze the entrepreneurial perspectives from Islamic ethics point of view for three the most representative countries is GCC: UAE, Qatar and Oman. The research methods used in this analysis are indepth interviews and open-ended surveys along with literature review. Ethical standards seems to vary from country to contry (in this case, UAE, Qatar and Oman). From our research, it is clear that ethical standards play an integral role in the success of businesses. Entrepreneurs face various challenges in their quest to establish business. In nations that have adopted the Shari' a law, there are basic requirements that the business are required to adhere to so as not to violate the Islamic business standards. One factor that features prominently among the employees is the focus on labor laws. The business owners are required to focus on ways of ensuring that their employees are well remunerated. In terms of the entrepreneurs, the major problem relates to adherence to the regulatory and administrative issues across all three nations under consideration.

“…Suas dotações, sua capacidade de julgamento da situação econômica e suas redes sociais desencadeiam seu comportamento empreendedor para criar um empreendimento. Aldrich e Martinez (2001), por sua vez, adotam uma linha diferente. Procuram desmistificar a ênfase na figura do empreendedor, inclusive desacoplando-a do tema da inovação (Schumpeter, 1971).…”
