Abstract:The role of business incubation in fostering entrepreneurship and SMEs development has generated a strong interest among policymakers in recent years. Even among scholars, there is a general consensus that entrepreneurship is pivotal to economic growth in both developing and developed countries. This study investigated the role of business incubators on entrepreneurship and SMEs development in Nigeria. The population of this study comprised of 60 incubatees in Oyo and Lagos State National Board of Technologica… Show more
“…Bygrave and Hofer (1991) as well as Gartner (1985) have analyzed entrepreneurship from the perspective of creating a wealth-generating organization, aligning with the functional approach. According to Fayolle (2012), this economic approach aims to understand the impact of business creation and the role of entrepreneurs in socio-economic development (Akpoviroro and al, 2021). Entrepreneurship can also be defined as the process by which an individual (the entrepreneur) identifies a commercial or social opportunity, mobilizes necessary resources, takes initiatives, assumes risks, and takes responsibility to create, develop, and manage a business or project, with the goal of generating profits or having a positive impact on society (Fayolle, 2002).…”
Entrepreneurship and territorial economic development are two interdependent dimensions that play a crucial role in shaping the socio-economic dynamics of a region or country. Entrepreneurship, as a driver of innovation, job creation, and economic growth, is often closely linked to territorial economic development, where local prosperity is sought through specific strategies and actions. In the specific context of Algeria, entrepreneurship and economic development hold particular significance, given the unique challenges and opportunities facing the country. Entrepreneurial activity can not only energize local markets but also play a significant role in reducing unemployment, stimulating innovation, and building a robust economic foundation. Territorial economic development involves the implementation of policies and strategies to balance growth across different regions, promote the efficiency of local infrastructure, and enhance the quality of life for citizens. The complex interaction between entrepreneurship and economic development underscores the importance of understanding how these elements interact and mutually influence each other. This study will explore these dynamics specifically in the Algerian context, examining how entrepreneurship can be a crucial catalyst for territorial economic development and how, in turn, economic development can create an environment conducive to entrepreneurial growth. The problem addressed in this article is to study the key factors that have played a significant role in the dynamics of the entrepreneurial process. To address the question of the development paradigm of territories, we selected the region of Blida as a case study, as this province is located in the heart of the fertile agricultural plain of Mitidja, which has served as a springboard for the development of the agri-food industry. The statistical study relies on the results of a quantitative questionnaire survey conducted among a sample of agri-food companies, where the questions focus on the behaviors of entrepreneurs in territorial development. This work, in theory, follows an approach where the following theoretical concepts have served as explanatory, analytical, and interpretative elements of the survey data. Thus, the analytical exploitation of the survey data has allowed us to determine the characteristics and specificities of the entrepreneur as a creator-innovator according to J. Schumpeter (1912).

“…SMEs are responsible for fostering innovation and competitiveness in many economic sectors https://doi.org/10. 54489/ijtim.v3i1.194 Publisher: GAFTIM, https://gaftim.com (Akpoviroro, Oba-Adenuga & Akanmu, et al, 2021). Business incubators, according to (Oshewolo, 2010), support the growth of new businesses, employment growth or job creation, improved industry structure, the acquisition, commercialization, and/or transfer of technology owned by universities and research institutions, wealth creation, and the encouragement of technoentrepreneurship culture (Keegan et al, 2022) The importance of business incubators is undeniable, according to (Ayad et al, 2022); incubators are an essential stepping-stone for delivering investments in sectors that are practical for the national economy.…”
The study aimed to identify the reality of SMEs and the sustainability of their development from the perspective of innovation in light of the economic vision of the Kingdom of Bahrain 2030. The study used the descriptive analysis approach, based on the published reports of small and medium enterprises. In addition, the survey has been used to find out the size of the obstacles and challenges facing these small and medium enterprises in the Kingdom of Bahrain. The sample consists of 270 small and medium enterprises in the Kingdom of Bahrain as the population of this study was 829 company, were the data collected has been analyzed using the SPSS version 27. The study's findings highlight the significance of institutions' long-term viability and growth in light of their central function in the advancement of the economic development cycle.

This study aims to optimize the enterprise criminal law-based copyright protection. This exploration discusses the role of the entrepreneurial spirit (ES) in criminal law-based copyright protection. To study the relationship between ES and criminal law-based copyright protection, the concepts of ES, criminal law-based copyright protection, and enterprise innovation are given. Next, by collecting literature, hypotheses are put forward. They include the relationship between ES and enterprise innovation, ES and the criminal law-based copyright protection, and the intermediary role of ES in the criminal law-based copyright protection and economic growth. Then, relevant models are established. Finally, the hypotheses are tested through experiments and empirical analysis, and the model is regressed to test the experimental data’s robustness and the scale’s reliability and validity. The empirical analysis shows that: (1) the significance of ES under the 1% index is greater than 0. It indicates that the higher the managers’ ES is, the greater the enterprise innovation is. (2) The significance of criminal law-based copyright protection on ES under the 1% index is greater than 0 and the regression coefficient is 0.59. This shows that criminal law-based copyright protection has a significant positive impact on ES. (3) Under the l% index, the significance of ES on economic growth is greater than 0 and the regression coefficient is 0.63. It shows that ES mediates the relationship between criminal law-based copyright protection and economic growth. Therefore, strengthening criminal law-based copyright protection improves the ES and leads to faster enterprise and regional economic development. Therefore, the state should pay attention to criminal law-based copyright protection to encourage innovation to promote enterprise development. This exploration studies the relationship among ES, economic growth, enterprise innovation, and criminal law-based copyright protection. The finding provides a theoretical reference for criminal law-based copyright protection.
