“…Most institutional research on EMs to date has focused on the relationship between institutions and small firm domestic growth (Peng, 1997;Peng and Heath, 1996;Williams and Vorley, 2015;Dileo and Pereiro, 2019), EM SME internationalisation such as the drivers and rationales for internationalisation (Yamakawa et al, 2008;Ketkar and Acs, 2013), the extent and speed of internationalization (Lamotte and Colovic, 2015;Muralidharan and Pathak, 2017;Yang and Wang, 2020); and resources (Zhu et al, 2006).…”

“…First, our study contributes to the scant literature on EM IE (Yamakawa et al 2008(Yamakawa et al , 2013Dana and Ratten, 2017;Jafari Sadeghi et al, 2019) by providing a more detailed and empirical insight into how institutions shape internationalization from emerging to developed markets. Those IE scholars examining the IE process from an institutional perspective have provided a partial address of the institutional-IE process relationship by restricting their analysis to specific aspects of the institutional environment and/or the IE process (e.g., García-Cabrera et al 2016, Muralidharan andPathak 2017;Yang et al, 2020).…”

“…The number of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) expanding from emerging to developed markets is growing (Gaur et al , 2014; Kujala and Tornross, 2018). Developed markets are attractive to emerging market (EM) entrepreneurs because they represent significant opportunities for growth (Bortoluzzi et al , 2018; Adomako et al 2019; Yang et al , 2020), offer the potential to escape strong foreign competition domestically (Zhu et al , 2006; Fabian et al , 2009; Ahmad 2013) and the potential to escape dysfunctional home institutions (Wright et al , 2005; Yamakawa et al , 2008; Li and Deng 2017; Adomako et al , 2019; Wu and Deng, 2020).…”

PurposeThe authors explore how home and host market institutions impact emerging market (EM) international entrepreneurship (IE) into developed markets.Design/methodology/approachBased on four case studies of Nigerian entrepreneurs expanding into the USA, this qualitative research adopts an institutional perspective to the study of EM IE.FindingsThe findings show home and host formal and informal institutions simultaneously enable and constrain the IE process. Weak home institutions shape the international opportunity recognition decision but seriously impede international opportunity development and exploitation activities in the developed market. EM entrepreneurs benefit from highly functioning regulation in the developed market whilst also experiencing discriminatory treatment from institutions. The findings of the study further show the positive and constraining effects of host institutions throughout the process.Originality/valueBased on the findings, the paper details future research ideas, managerial implications and recommendation for policymakers.

“…In entrepreneurship literature, there is a growing emphasis on the importance of entrepreneurial self-efficacy in recent studies, such as entrepreneurial career preferences, intentions, behaviour, entrepreneurial performance, and social entrepreneurship (e.g. Hand, Iskandarova, & Blackburn, 2020;Marshall, Meek, Swab, & Markin, 2020;Mozahem, & Adlouni, 2020;To, Martínez, Orero-Blat, & Chau, 2020;Yang, Li, & Wang, 2020). Entrepreneurial self-efficacy is defined from various viewpoints (Tsai, Chang, & Peng, 2014).…”

The objective of the article is to explore the specific underlying mechanisms in which contextual factors are internalised into students' cognitive process of entrepreneurship in Vietnam. Research Design & Methods:A quantitative study with a meta-analysis was conducted by utilising structural equation modelling (SEM). The sample consisted of 2218 final-year students from fourteen universities located in two major regions in Vietnam who were surveyed using stratified random sampling. Findings: Results revealed that social capital was not directly related to intention to become entrepreneurs, which had indirect and significant impact on start-up intention throughout attitude towards entrepreneurship, perceived behavioural control, and entrepreneurial self-efficacy. In addition, the regulatory dimension negatively affected entrepreneurial intention while the normative dimension positively promoted this intention. University education not only directly affected but also indirectly influenced entrepreneurial intention via antecedents of the theory of planned behaviour. The research also showed the mediating role of attitude towards entrepreneurship, perceived behavioural control, and entrepreneurial self-efficacy between contextual factors and entrepreneurial intention among Vietnamese students. Implications & Recommendations:The study has several implications and practical recommendations for universities and policymakers in boosting business venturing activities among college students. Contribution & Value Added: The empirical evidence of the research supported the theoretical arguments, which specified the detailed mechanisms that contextual factors affect the cognitive process of business venture.

“…However, it has been shown that to be more competitive and face global economic crises it is advisable and important to focus on entrepreneurial-oriented strategies (Eggers, 2020) . In the current context, the most active entrepreneurial activity is centered in the United States of America, Europe and Asia (Feng et al, 2020;Yang et al, 2020), the latter being the one that has stood out with the presence of emerging companies with innovative products in different parts of the world (Brink, 2018;Donbesuur et al, 2020). In this sense, the literature on entrepreneurship orientation states that companies must act proactively, innovatively and with tolerance to risk to respond to the demands of society and markets in a socially responsible way, with ethical behaviors that integrate the social, environmental and economic interests of stakeholders (Covin & Lumpkin, 2011;Donbesuur et al, 2020).…”

In the current business context, SMEs play a determining role for most regions. For this reason, more and more companies are adopting business strategies that lead them to maintain and increase their competitiveness. Two of these strategies are Entrepreneurial Orientation (EO) and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). The purpose of the study is to observe the effects that the EO has on the CSR and on the Corporate Performance (CPERF). In addition, it seeks to determine if the CSR has significant effects on the Corporate Performance, and it has also been proposed to examine the mediating effect that the CSR has between the variable EO and Corporate Performance. The study analyzes a sample of 488 trade and service SMEs from the Northwest region in Mexico. The information was collected through a self-directed survey of the manager of each SME from May to September 2018. For the analysis of the data, the statistical technique PLS-SEM was used (partial least squares structural equation modeling). The results report that EO has a strong significant effect on CSR and also on the Corporate Performance of SMEs. Furthermore, the results have corroborated that CSR is a mediating variable between EO and Corporate Performance. The study contributes to the development of the theory of Dynamic Capabilities and of Stakeholders, corroborating that SMEs that adopt EO and CSR can lead them to the permanent adoption of sustainable entrepreneurship and the improvement of their corporate performance results.
