The nexus between entrepreneur skills and successful business: a decompositional analysis

Abstract

Modeling of critical success or failure factors in business creationThe main objective of this thesis is to analyze the success or failure in the creation of companies through systems engineering tools that allow a better understanding of the dynamics and complexity of the subject.Initially a systematic literature review is carried out specifically on the critical factors of success or failure, then business success and failure are defined, as well as all the indicators used to make measurements of this. Later the different theoretical models found in the study are discussed. literature, then a general framework is proposed to classify all the factors identified according to the unit of analysis (entrepreneur, company and stakeholders). Later on, a general model of critical success or failure factors (CSFF) is designed and a sub-model is in turn built to evaluate with system dynamics the impact that the entrepreneur's experience has on the success in the creation of companies measured by based on the indicators of growth in sales, profitability and generated surpluses.Finally, it is concluded that the entrepreneur's previous experience is an accelerator of business behavior, helping to achieve optimal sales levels faster, a substantial reduction in costs and obtain better competitive positions in the market.

Does Corporate Social Responsibility Affect the Financial Performance of the Manufacturing Sector? Evidence from an Emerging Economy

“…Furthermore, studies have recommended more in-depth knowledge about the nature of the relationship between CSR and performance regarding factors that influence this relationship, which will not only be of scientific value and relevance but will also contribute to the practice of CSR in the management of organizations [9]. While there is a plethora of research that has attempted to investigate CSR and financial performance in the service industries (Platonova, Asutay [10], to our knowledge, there have been few studies on CSR and financial performance in the Indian context [11]. The present paper is an essential contribution to the literature of CSR that explores the relationship between CSR and financial performance using secondary data from manufacturing firms rather than relying on perception-based survey studies.…”

Being an entrepreneur post-COVID-19 – resilience in times of crisis: a systematic literature review

“…Creativity results in taking an innovative approach to a challenge (Kusmintarti et al , 2018). To solve these challenges, entrepreneurs use their initiative to take risks to apply innovative ideas (Abdullah et al , 2018). Self-efficacy is the extent to which a person relies on his or her abilities to determine the challenges they can take, how much effort they must use to overcome them and how much they must persevere in facing these obstacles (Mauer et al , 2017).…”

Exploring Personal and Contextual Variables of the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor through the Rasch Mathematical Model

“…Within the Contextual approach, environmental factors (e.g., education, culture) are the most influential elements in the entrepreneurial process [23][24][25]. By contrast, studies using the Human Capital approach have focused on the attributes of entrepreneurs (e.g., competencies, attitude) [26][27][28]. Both approaches have been used in entrepreneurship studies at the regional level by researchers and institutions [9,12,13].…”
