“…Second, our study's findings underscore that green opportunity identification and green entrepreneurial motivation have a significant and positive influence on the green innovativeness, green risk‐taking, and green proactiveness components of IGEO. These findings support our hypotheses H1a ~ c and H2a ~ c. These results not only confirm but also reinforce previous research (Altinay et al, 2016; Baron, 2007; Forouharfar et al, 2019; Kraus et al, 2017; Sun et al, 2020).…”

“…Traditional entrepreneurs are generally driven by profit maximization, market dominance, or personal success. In contrast, green entrepreneurs are motivated by a desire to innovate and engender positive global change, aligning economic growth with environmental preservation (Forouharfar et al, 2019). This does not mean that green entrepreneurs are indifferent to profits; rather, they seek a more balanced approach – one that harmonizes the pursuit of profit with environmental responsibility.…”

Green entrepreneurial orientation (GEO) plays a pivotal role in reconciling economic growth with environmental sustainability. This research focuses on the individual green entrepreneurial orientation (IGEO) of mid‐level managers. In particular, it aims to explore how individual, environmental, and organizational factors foster IGEO. The data were collected from a total of 102 small‐ and medium‐sized enterprises (SMEs), as well as 510 mid‐level managers operating within Taiwan's environmental protection sector. Subsequently, the gathered data were analyzed using hierarchical linear modeling (HLM) techniques. The study found that green opportunity identification and entrepreneurial motivation notably influence various aspects of IGEO. In addition, elements like a green institutional environment, corporate green resources, and corporate environmental policies significantly boost IGEO. However, no significant links were found between a green institutional environment and green innovativeness or between corporate environmental policies and green proactiveness. This study provides a valuable contribution to GEO research, specifically focusing on SMEs and environmentally sustainable initiatives within developing economies.

“…In the next step, a plan for classifying, describing, and coding the literature was developed through literature filtration and variables' distillation. As a final step, the literature was synthesized (Forouharfar et al, 2019;Merli et al, 2018;Denyer & Tranfield, 2009;Tranfield et al, 2003) in order to provide a taxonomy for networks and their corresponding strategies (Table 1).…”

PURPOSE: This paper aims to introduce a general all-embracing taxonomy of networks and its relevant strategies to facilitate the teaching and learning of the strategic concepts of networks in strategic management. METHODOLOGY: To fulfill its intention, the paper has adopted a systematic literature review (SLR), since the introduced taxonomy and its corresponding strategies should be a compendious reflection and summary of the current literature of the studies on strategic networks. RESULTS: The paper unfolded seven potential configurations of the networks and then proceeded with the proposition of their relevant strategies with regard to the networks’ relationships and forms. These networks were named as Reciprocally Interdependent Networks, Sequentially Interdependent Networks, Partnering Networks, Complementary (Overlapping) Networks, Supporting (Logistic) Networks, Distributing Networks, and Co-Innovation Knowledge-Sharing Networks. Their corresponding network strategies were identified as Multi-Level Promotion Strategy, Just-In-Time Strategy, Network Partnership Strategy, Compensatory Strategy, Network Logistic Strategy, Distributing Network Strategy, and Network R&D Strategy, respectively. IMPLICATIONS FOR THEORY AND PRACTICE: Systematics or a system of classification is a fundamental necessity in any field of knowledge, benefiting both academia and learners. Accordingly, this paper provides a comprehensive but concise means of classifying networks and their strategies to overcome the paucity still existing in the literature. These efforts invite future research and conversation about networks and network strategies, proposing a guiding framework for the debate. ORIGINALITY AND VALUE: Lack of consensus about theories and conceptualizations in strategic network studies became an inspiration for this research, which allowed for the clarification of the mentioned existing paucity.

“…Furthermore, the third entrepreneur type who is a social entrepreneur can take advantage of his respect for social rules related to governance to adopt a national or international citizen strategy that will be supported by governments and social associations (Forouharfar et al, 2019), while the fourth entrepreneur type can borrow from the two first entrepreneur types in the field of strategy.…”

This work aims to build a new entrepreneur typology in line with corporate governance approaches adopted by the enterprises and therefore to adequately implement public policy and strategy about entrepreneurship, since governance is an important basis for decision-making. Research Design & Methods: To achieve the above objective, associations are established between entrepreneur types and corporate governance approaches via multiple correspondence analysis with grouping method for discretization and variable principal for normalization. Findings: Findings highlight a new entrepreneur typology, which comprises four types of entrepreneurs with regard to corporate governance approaches. The new typology is as follows: structure-oriented shareholder; behaviour-oriented stakeholder; legal control oriented and economic-managerial control oriented. Implications & Recommendations: This work has theoretical implications which reside in the need to use corporate governance for strategic modelling. It also has practical implications in that it is easier and more appropriate to make decisions from corporate governance approaches than from types of enterprises. Thus, enterprises and the state must take advantage of these implications to improve the entrepreneurship productivity. Contribution & Value Added: This work conceives a new entrepreneur typology in line with corporate governance. Thus, it allows promoting strategic modelling based on corporate governance in business and public areas. Article type:research article
