“…Globalization has raised eyebrows of many in this sector (e.g., manufacturing sector) as fears of recession looms large in shanty towns, making it a reality for the SMEs (Zhu et al, 2019). At present, sustainable entrepreneurship has become a foreseeable choice for SME's to gain sustainable development and pursue sustainability under increasing global environmental problems (Schaltegger et al, 2016b, Nave andFranco, 2019). Sustainable entrepreneurship is a major cause for SME's distress, e.g., lack of environmental care, chain management failure, lacking eco-efficiency mechanism, lack of green products and sustainable technology development, lack of collaboration with sustainable industry and eco-design issues (Bonfanti et al, 2016).…”

Developing the concept of sustainable entrepreneurship from upper echelons theory and resource-based view theory, this research explores the impact of sustainable entrepreneurship among small and medium-sized enterprises. Sustainable entrepreneurship pursues a motivating approach to the economic, social, and environmental objectives of the society. The purpose of the study is to delve into the influencing factors of sustainable entrepreneurship among SMEs. The research is based on a quantitative approach via survey to address the sustainable entrepreneurship among SMEs (e.g., Punjab) in Pakistan. Data were obtained from 330 employees working in manufacturing SME’s. Additionally, structural equation modelling (SEM) was tested to examining the hypothesized relationship. The results confirm a positive effect of sustainability orientation and entrepreneurial orientation on sustainable entrepreneurship and the moderating effect of entrepreneurial knowledge was found significant. Moreover, the results confirm a negative effect of entrepreneurial bricolage on sustainable entrepreneurship, and the moderating effect of the entrepreneurial knowledge was found to be insignificant. However, these researches carry-out the context of entrepreneurial bricolage acts as a moderator in sustainable entrepreneurship research. Based on the findings, this research provides implications for the policymakers to promote sustainable entrepreneurship to facilitate new markets and getting the foremost advantage of sustainable development in SME’s.

“…First, some scholars focus on the impact of university-firm combination on innovation: Kang [21] put forward that different types of subjects were recognized as an effective tool for technological innovation, and broke down the communication barrier effectively. As what Nave [22] argued, if we use university-firm cooperation as a way to promote sustainability practices, according to the information provided by the interview, the university-firm cooperation is more conducive for firm to solve their own problems through innovation.…”

Industrial-technological innovation (ITI) has far-reaching significance for China’s sustainable development. In this study, we construct an ITI model to analyze the impact of communication barrier and spillover effects in ITI system from the perspective of system by means of system dynamics. Statistical data of smartphone industry were collected to verify the authenticity of the model, which show that the model has higher goodness of fit with the real-world. Simulation experiments were carried out and the results showed that: (1) Spillover effects have obvious effects on ITI in both positive and negative radiation directions, and deeper exchanges and cooperation should be encouraged to carry out among firm. (2) Communication barrier play an important role in regulating ITI. Under the condition of non-barrier and complete-barrier, the completion time of the whole process has increased by 76.5%, it is urgent to reduce communication carrier. The research puts forward suggestions to help improve ITI from institutional, market, and government.

“…Their establishment -according to (Franco, 2011, pp. [41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51] -is a strategic decision taken by at least two independent organizations which are willing and able to exchange and/or share resources in order to seek opportunities, the use of which will contribute to achieving mutual benefi ts, impossible to be achieved by each of the co-operators when acting separately. Therefore, cooperation in this sector is a process that occurs when two or more organizations undertake to implement mutually consistent goals.…”

Summary The aim of this study is to recognize the external conditions for establishing cooperative relations between public higher education institutions. At the same time, these conditions constitute the context in which a cooperative relation is or is not established. The article points out that establishing such relations is intentional. It is the external conditions (context) and benefits of adjusting to them that are of key importance for their creation and, in the long run, foe their maintenance. The study focuses on the possibilities of cooperation between public higher education institutions in the legal form of a federation. The study was based on the results of reviewing the literature and current legal acts regulating the higher education system in Poland.
