Towards Sustainable Strategies: Uncovering the Impact of Environmental Policies on Innovation Activities of Czech Firms
Authors: Kolar Milos
Published: September 2024

In recent years, there has been an increased emphasis on sustainable development worldwide, which has prompted governments to adopt environmental policies aimed at mitigating the adverse environmental impacts of economic activities. Among these strategies, the implementation of environmental policies has emerged as a key tool for promoting sustainable development. However, although these policies are created with good intentions, their impact on firms' innovation activities remains a matter of debate and research. The aim of this paper is to examine the impact of environmental policies on the innovation activities of Czech firms, with a particular focus on how these policies shape firms' strategies towards sustainable development. Given the growing emphasis on sustainability and environmental issues, it is necessary to examine how environmental policies can influence firms' overall innovation activities. 412 firms of different sizes were surveyed. And EU emissions trading and energy consumption emerged as the most influential variables with a positive impact.
Is formalisation Enough to Achieve Growth in SMEs?
Authors: Medroa Giancarlo
Published: September 2024

The objective of this research is to determine whether the formalisation (FORM) of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) has an impact on the growth, and determine which aspects of SMEs management, when formalised, are associated with and contribute to the growth of these organisations. A survey was applied to 403 proxies of SMEs in Lima, Peru. A structural equation model was used to validate the hypotheses. The results indicate that there is a positive and significant association between the FORM of SMEs management and the growth of these organisations. The main finding of this research is to determine that the formalisation of SME management in Lima, Peru explains their growth by only 27%, leaving 63% explained by other factors that could be not only management aspects, but also aspects of the SME environment. State institutions, companies and academia should analyse the low economic contribution of SMEs from a broader approach and not only from the position that formalisation is the only reason for growth. Other aspects should be studied, such as education in management issues by entrepreneurs, development of collaborators' competencies, improvement in the efficiency in the management of State institutions, among other factors; and thus, find the appropriate mechanisms that contribute to the growth of SMEs. This research is the first to analyse, in a single study, whether the formalisation aspects of SMEs management contribute to their growth. Finally, this research has contributed to the construction and conceptualisation of the SME growth variable.

Published: September 2024

Entrepreneurship plays an important role in the economic development of the nations by driving innnovation, economic efficiency, and job creation. On the other hand, entrepreneurship education and international education seem to be an important antecedent for entrepreneurship intentions. In this context, universities and campuses have an important role in fostering entrepreneurial activities, namely extra curricular and curricular programs that empower young and nascent entrepreneurs to develop skills, attitudes and competencies that can later be applied to business creation. The main objective of this study is to present the extra curricular program, EXIT program, and confirm its impact on entrepreneurial skills, attitudes and competencies acquired or developed by students. This study employs a mixed research approach that includes both qualitative and quantitative methods. The results reveals that EXIT program effectively contributes to the development of various attributes associated with student resilience. It notably boosts critical thinking, creativity, initiative, problem-solving, proactivity, responsibility, cooperation, social responsibility, and a balanced mix of ambition, optimism, and realism. EXIT’s impact on student skills development underscores its substantial positive influence, especially in domains like teamwork and communication. Feedback from the focus group discussions attested to the overall positive reception of EXIT by participants. The program demonstrated its effectiveness in improving their entrepreneurial skills, facilitating multicultural experiences, and encouraging collaborative efforts.
Perceived Success and Entrepreneurial Identity in West Africa
Authors: Hajji Nouha
Published: September 2024

This research aims to understand the Fake It Until You Make It (FIUYMI) culture and its impact on entrepreneurial identity in the West African startup ecosystem. Self-presentation is important for entrepreneurs and often they tend to exaggerate their success. In West Africa, this is usually the case for entrepreneurs that want to gain social acceptance among their peers and to secure funding. It is represented by a desire of belonging and is amplified with digital social platforms and peer pressure. This study aims to evaluate the impact of perceived success using mixed methods research with both qualitative and quantitative data. The qualitative phase consists of semi-structured interviews with 20 startup founders from West Africa. The initial objective is to understand the motivations behind employing FIUYMI behaviour and its effect on the entrepreneurial identity and sense of success. A structured survey is then conveyed to 50 startup founders across the same region. The second objective is to quantitatively assess the prevalence of this behaviour and its impact on self-perception, and psychological well-being. Results suggest that FIUYMI is at first a good strategy for entrepreneurs to enhance perceived credibility and attract support and can be a positive tool for entrepreneurs to some extent as it boosts their confidence and network. It may later lead to psychological stress and has a perverse effect on entrepreneurs of not belonging to their community: Even when they achieve their desired outcome, they may consider their achievements to be fraudulent which is linked to a sense of imposter phenomenon.  The research goal is to understand the complexities of perceived success and the ‘Fake it Until You Make it’ attitude in the West African context informing effective interventions in entrepreneurial behaviour. By showing its negative impact on an entrepreneur's journey, the research also aims to enhance accurate self-presentation and contribute to a more trustworthy entrepreneurial ecosystem in West Africa for entrepreneurs and investors.

Published: September 2024

The European Union's Green Deal and the United Nations' 2030 Agenda are key strategic frameworks that aim to transform all nations towards a climate-neutral continent. At the heart of achieving this ambitious goal is the need for greater policy coherence, particularly concerning the digital Green Deal. The adoption of digital technologies in green sustainability initiatives requires a comprehensive update of existing policies to properly exploit all the opportunities offered by digitalisation. This study focuses on identifying constraints to environmental and digital advancement in the agri-food sector. In particular, it examines existing policies and those that need to be implemented to facilitate the green and digital transition of agri-food enterprises. The research methodology comprises in-depth, semi-structured interviews with fifteen (15) policymakers at the national, regional, and local levels in Greece, all of whom are responsible for decision-making in the agri-food sector. The findings underline the need for a substantial reform of the current institutional framework to make it more favourable to agri-food enterprises, especially for very small enteprises and SMEs, for whom the barriers are even greater. Improving access to financial support is also highlighted as a critical need. To ensure a smooth twin transition towards environmental sustainability and digitalisation, the study advocates improving the educational background and promoting digital literacy among stakeholders. These measures are considered necessary to increase the competitiveness of agri-food enterprises in today's global landscape. The study essentially highlights the central role of a strong policy framework for the environmental and digital transition of the agri-food sector. By addressing the barriers identified in the study through the implementation of appropriate policies, agri-food entrepreneurs can adopt sustainable practices and harness the transformative potential of digital technologies.

Authors: Abeputri Audrie , Handojo Irwanto
Published: September 2024

The goal of this research is to gather the empirical data regarding the influence of financial performance, leverage, board of commissioner, sales growth, firm size, liquidity, and dividend policy on firm value. Moreover, corporate governance moderates the impact of financial performance on firm value. The non-financial company used in this research is the consumer cyclicals and non-cyclicals companies with total 43 companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2020 to 2022. The hypothesis testing method used is multiple regression method that resulting financial performance, board of commissioner, sales growth, firm size, and liquidity impact the value of a firm. Strong financial performance will attract investors to invest in company, which will grow stock price. Independent commissioner monitors company’s financial statement that is align with company’s real condition, so it increases investor’s trust as well as firm value. Higher sales growth, the lower firm value due to higher tax expense and production cost. Higher total asset causes lack of efficiency in supervising operational activities and strategies by management. Greater current assets, reflect higher current ratio, have lower return than fixed assets. Therefore, the firm value will decrease. Corporate governance negatively moderates the influence of financial performance on firm value. In decision-making, investors consider high managerial ownership due to opportunistic management’s propensity. Meanwhile, leverage and dividend policy have no impact on firm value.

Published: September 2024

The presence of conventional commercial banks with foreign ownership in Indonesia introduces a new dynamic in the national banking structure, with significant implications for the financing of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). This study explores the potential involvement of these banks in enhancing the capital capacity of MSMEs, a sector traditionally dominated by the Himbara banks. Using normative legal research methods with doctrinal and comparative approaches, this study aims to identify the urgency and procedures for the involvement of conventional commercial banks with foreign ownership in MSME financing. The findings reveal that such involvement could create a mutually beneficial relationship, where MSMEs gain access to more diverse funding options, while these banks expand their customer base. These implications highlight the potential for strengthening MSME capital structures and contributing positively to the national economy.

This study examines the execution auction in bankruptcy concerning land and buildings jointly owned by a third party and a bankrupt debtor. The importance of this study lies in protecting the property rights of third parties, which may be at risk during the auction process. There is a research gap in understanding the legal rights of third parties in joint ownership situations with a bankrupt debtor. The objective of this study is to identify the legal implications and protection mechanisms available to third parties. The methodology employed is a normative juridical analysis with a case study approach. The key findings reveal that third parties retain the right to file a lawsuit against the auction as an unlawful act (tort), but their claim of ownership is insufficient to nullify the auction conducted by the Office of State Wealth Service and Auction. This research implies a need for clearer regulations to protect third-party rights in similar cases.
