“…Fifth, this research is among the earliest that considers the role of SEO for the manager's age-performance relationship in the manufacturing sector. Moreover, it has been argued that existing studies lack relationship models regarding the impact of SEO on sustainable corporate performance in developing country context [25,26]. Hence, we extend previous literature by linking the SEO with environmental, social and financial performance in a developing country context which specifies that strategic orientation in emerging economies is critical to obtain substantial benefits in the sustainability context.…”

“…In a seminal work on sustainable corporate entrepreneurship, it is defined as a mechanism that focuses on the identification and transformation of opportunities that are linked to sustainable development to new value creation for environment and community while considering costs, risks and uncertainty [26,41]. It is a mechanism that is not limited to starting new ventures, rather it also occurs in established organizations either in the form of new business endeavors or business transformations through strategic renewal [42].…”

Scholars have investigated the direct linkage between manager's age and sustainable corporate performance, however, the mixed results and conflicting findings on the nature of the relationship demand further explanation through the missing constructs. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to examine the mediating role of sustainable entrepreneurial orientation in the manager's age and sustainable performance. This study develops a conceptual link by using a dynamic capabilities approach and upper echelon perspective, indicating that younger managers can adopt a more holistic approach towards sustainable practices which can enhance the environmental, social and economic performance of firms. This implies that the relationship between manager's age and sustainable performance can be explained through sustainable entrepreneurial orientation (SEO) which can play a key role in setting organizational direction towards sustainable development and achieving sustainable business performance. This study contributes to the literature by examining the role of SEO in the relationship between the manager's age and sustainable performance. This research will help practitioners recognize the importance of minimizing environmental and social problems generating due to organizational production activities. This will lead to profit generation as well as value creation for nature and the local community.

“…This work is not exempt from certain limitations. First, the characteristic of a bibliometric analysis is that it is based mainly on quantitative analysis and it is true that some authors may publish few papers but nevertheless have a significant influence on their research area [135]. Second, the selection of one database, Scopus, over another, for instance the WoS database could also be a limitation.…”

The internationalization of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) is a topic of constant research interest due to the impact these have on economic growth and employment in developed, emerging and developing countries. A desire to understand and a growing interest in the study of the internationalization process of SMEs has provoked a significant increase in the production of manuscripts in this field in the last decade. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out periodic reviews on the state-of-the-art of this phenomenon in order to highlight advances and limitations, to motivate reflections and stimulate progress in future research. Thus, the main objective of this study is to describe the state-of-the-art of the research into SME Internationalization based on a bibliometric analysis of 1152 manuscripts published from 1990 to 2018. The results enable the identification of the main agents that are constantly developing this field through an analysis of scientific production and collaboration indicators. Furthermore, through a co-word analysis, this research establishes hot-spot research trends that need to be developed in future research. The main contribution of this research is the configuration of a knowledge map on SME Internationalization research.

“…Along with all this, it has been proven that entrepreneurships constitute effective mechanisms for generating wealth, and are considered drivers of change, innovation and economic growth [3,4]. However, when faced with the relevance of sustainable development and the importance of its adequate implementation, entrepreneurship is seen to have objectives that go beyond economic benefits [5,6]. Moreover, the need for the business models adopted by entrepreneurship to correspond to sustainability has been highlighted to respond to sustainable development goals (SDG) [7].…”

“…Moreover, the need for the business models adopted by entrepreneurship to correspond to sustainability has been highlighted to respond to sustainable development goals (SDG) [7]. Thus sustainable entrepreneurship has become relevant, and focuses on preserving nature, supporting life and the community, generating services and products that are reflected in individuals' well-being, economy and society [5]. Hence sustainable entrepreneurship remains to be seen as a possible solution that contributes to sustainable development [8,9].…”

Identifying environmental and economic development factors in sustainable entrepreneurship over time by partial least squares (PLS)

2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This study analyses the impact of environmental and economic factors consolidation on sustainable entrepreneurship over time. A model is proposed that analyses the relations between these factors and sustainable entrepreneurship over time with sustainable development goals performances and the continuation of the businesses index as variables. Using data from 50 countries, a quantitative method based on partial least squares was applied to validate the proposed model. Our findings showed positive and significant relations between environmental and economic factors with sustainable entrepreneurship over time. This implies that the countries which invest more efforts to consolidate their economic and environmental factors obtain higher durability rates for their sustainable entrepreneurship.
