“…The factors determine a company's performance, including corporate governance, financial leverage, liquidity, and company size, as well as industry-related factors, such as growth and industry concentration (Cohn, Mills, & Towery, 2014;Liargovas & Skandalis, 2008). Other theories complement previous studies that use entrepreneurship management and innovation as drivers of company profitability (Audretsch, Castrogiovanni, Ribeiro, & Roig, 2005;Palacios-Marqu es, Roig-Dob on, & Comeig, 2017;Rico & Cabrer-Borr as, 2018). Kyvik (2018) incorporates the business model, creativity, and management and financial control as key variables in his analysis.…”

The purpose of this study is to explain the financial performance of companies in Latin America through the lens of capital structure and ownership structure. We perform a quantitative analysis of companies in Brazil, Chile, Mexico, and Peru using a panel data method. To avoid endogeneity problems, instrumental variables, generalised method of moments models, and panels with random effects are employed. The data cover the period 2000 to 2015. We find a positive relationship between financial performance, growth, and size of the company. However, there are mixed results for short-and long-term financial leverage, as well as for company liquidity. With respect to the ownership structure of Chilean companies, a positive effect is observed for the first major shareholder with financial performance. In general, our results are in line with those of previous studies. However, the existence of mixed results between companies and countries makes for an interesting and novel conclusion.

“…Studying the profile of ecological consumers is a key task in the design and execution of an organization's competitive strategy [18,19]. Today, social, political, and technological changes do not take place gradually as the result of a steady trend [20]. Instead, disruptive changes occur over a short period.…”

Given the current trend toward a more sustainable and environmentally-friendly economy, the overlap between entrepreneurship and sustainability has become a key research area. Part of this trend is the emergence of ecopreneurial businesses. These businesses are pioneers in using innovation to achieve sustainable growth by exploiting market opportunities. This article presents an overview of the concepts of ecopreneurship, eco-innovation, and the ecological sector. A rigorous review of the literature in this area is presented. The results of this review show the key values and principles that are central to this new stream of research and shed light on opportunities for further research. The primary conclusion is that there is a need for collective collaboration between ecopreneurs, consumers, and producers to achieve long-term sustainability.

“…In statistical analysis, we controlled for respondent demographics such as gender, age, and education. As age can correlate to people's resource availability, experience, and willingness to assume risk in a nonlinear fashion, we followed prior research to include the squared term of age as a control variable ( Belda & Cabrer-Borrás, 2018 ). Given the possibility of personal and family income influencing an individual's ability to finance a start-up ( Cetindamar et al., 2012 ; Edelman & Yli-Renko, 2010 ), we included it as a control variable in the analysis.…”

Despite the exponential growth of social media use, whether and how social media use may affect entrepreneurial entry remains a key research gap. In this study we examine whether individuals’ social media use influences their entrepreneurial entry. Drawing on social network theory, we argue that social media use allows individuals to obtain valuable social capital, as indicated by their offline social network, which increases their entrepreneurial entry. We further posit the relationship between social media use and entrepreneurial entry depends on individuals’ trust propensity based on the nature of social media as weak ties. Our model was supported by a nationally representative survey of 18,873 adults in China over two years. As the first paper on the role of social media on entrepreneurial entry, we hope our research highlights and puts forward research intersecting social media and entrepreneurship.
