“…Other interesting economic research (Islam, 2015) found out that entrepreneurial activity and government size are negatively correlated, which seems to be an interesting proxy about the way many African governments perceive entrepreneurship. Juma et al (2017) summarized the role of government (and public agencies) on entrepreneurship: to facilitate (or block) entrepreneurial development by means of legal infrastructure, human capital development, and providing funding facilities.…”

This work investigates the relationship between the political and institutional environment and the development of entrepreneurship in Mozambique. Taking a literature review approach and using collected empirical data from interviewing 10 individuals playing different roles with impact on county's entrepreneurial landscape, results support existing theory and suggest that this African country still has a long way to go in what relates governmental action to entrepreneurial development.

“…Finally, environmental, and societal entrepreneurship is transforming research results into a sustainable societal initiative. For some authors [30] this is the execution of a viable project that reconciles societal viability with the general interest. Example: the Sudan Reforestation Society in Chad, created by the network of university teacher researchers in the Sudanese area.…”

“…For other researchers, environmental entrepreneurship differs from the traditional path of business creation. The results of two fairly recent studies [27,30] reveal that the entrepreneurial environmental boom is driven by the frequent interaction between the university entrepreneur (researcher/doctoral fellow) and the community. Therefore, successful exchanges between researchers and society are a better trajectory to intensify environmental innovation.…”

The research on intellectual capital carried out so far for the academic entrepreneurial development is few but has clearly shown its importance. However, the overall contribution of intellectual capital to the performance of academic entrepreneurial projects of both technologies, social and environmental or university spin-offs remains little studied. Even studies carried out on this subject, often, focus only on a single component and favor, for the most part, the quantitative approach. This posture does not allow us to understand which of the three components of intellectual capital is the best predictor of academic entrepreneurial performance. Thus, the results of these previous studies provide little information on how to increase entrepreneurship by mobilizing intellectual capital. To fill these gray areas and facilitate an understanding of the causal link between intellectual capital and academic entrepreneurial performance, a semi-structured interview of eleven entrepreneurs and a survey of 278 researchers and students from four Chadian universities were conducted. The research process was mixed. We used an approach that focused on both economic/financial entrepreneurship, social entrepreneurship (which is part of the obligations of Chadian universities) and societal/environmental entrepreneurship. During data production, we have put forward the criterion of participation of the actor (researcher-student-practitioner) in the various phases of activities in the process of implementation of entrepreneurship. Our results have shown that human capital (R 2 = 0.21) and relational capital (R 2 = 0.29) are the best predictors of academic entrepreneurial performance. It is mainly relational capital that contributes mainly (b = 31%) academic entrepreneurial performance. These results are explained by the fact that human capital and relational capital are deployed for the purposes of creativity, contact, creation of business networks, etc., while structural capital plays an essential role in the credibility and influence of universities. Finally, it is the combination of the three components of intellectual capital that plays a decisive role (R 2 = 0.85) in achieving academic entrepreneurial performance. Thus, universities are invited to revitalize their network of actors, to promote collaborative research, to advocate the agile approach and to enrich their human capital so that it fulfills its mission as an open innovation subject, without neglecting their capital structure for its undeniable support role.

Concerted effort to reduce ecological damages requires that the role of enterprises should be extended to incorporate environmental issues into their core business objectives. Despite huge developments in sustainable entrepreneurship research, outcomes of sustainable entrepreneurship uptake remain largely unclear. Drawing on data of Chinese firms, and utilizing fixed effects regression, our paper evaluates the conditions under which compliance with environmental regulation may enable or constrain corporate performance. We find that environmental compliance lowers corporate market performance and improves financial performance at the same time. We also find that the decline in market performance is reversed for large and privately owned enterprises, highlighting the role of firm size and ownership in corporate performance. When distinguishing between market‐ and financial performance, our evidence shows that environmental compliance will most likely improve market performance when enterprise carbon intensity level is low and improve financial performance when enterprise carbon intensity level is high. As we have discussed in our paper, these results have several implications from the point of view of managers, firm stakeholders, and policymakers.
