Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to provide insights into the relationship between dynamic capabilities and innovation capabilities. It links dynamic capability with innovation capability and indicates the ways they can be related. Design/methodology/approach – The relationships between dynamic and innovation capability were investigated through a systematic literature review. Findings – The review indicates that common characteristics exist between of the both fields, which demonstrate six relationships. Additionally, findings show some inconsistencies and even contradictions. Originality/value – In this paper, the authors have compared dynamic capabilities, a relatively new approach in the field of strategic management, with innovation capabilities, a widely recognised crucial domain for sustained competitiveness. Since both areas address issues that are essential to today's environment, future research should seek to clarify both concepts, by undertaking some new research and developing comprehensive and unambiguous framework.

There are several studies in entrepreneurship investigating determinants of innovation outcomes in SMEs. Although entrepreneurs' entrepreneurial creativity is often seen as a prerequisite, previous research indicates it is not an exclusive determinant of innovation. We use theoretical logics of social cognitive theory and innovation theory to develop a conceptual model of entrepreneur's creativity, self-efficacy, and innovation outcomes. The model is then tested on a large sample of small and medium firms from two distinct economies: the United States and Slovenia. Empirical findings partially support the proposed moderation effects of entrepreneurial self-efficacy, but with the same variations between countries. The implications of these results in relation to entrepreneurship theory and practice are discussed.

We examined how Chinese employees' psychological empowerment and organizational justice relate to their voice behavior and how organizational justice moderates the effect of psychological empowerment on voice behavior. Participants were 236 employees of Chinese small- and medium-sized enterprises who completed a survey to measure psychological empowerment, organizational justice, and voice behavior. Results show that psychological empowerment and organizational justice were related to, and explained the variance in, voice behavior. Moreover, organizational justice moderated the relationship between psychological empowerment and voice behavior. Improvement of organizational justice and clarification of the importance of employees' psychological empowerment for organizational functionality and effectiveness can help promote sound voice behavior.

Purpose Throughout Macedonia, beekeeping is becoming popular regardless of ethnicity. Studying ethnicity, the purpose of this paper is to determine what beekeepers in Macedonia thought in their own words about their beekeeping entrepreneurship. The objective is to identify whether motivations of ethnic Albanian beekeepers in Macedonia were the same or different compared to those of ethnic Macedonians in the same country, and if different, how. Design/methodology/approach To accomplish this objective, in-depth interviews were conducted with 40 beekeepers in Macedonia. A total of 29 interviews were conducted face-to-face and the other 11 by phone. The first set of interviews took place between December 2016 and February 2017, followed by more interviews in June 2017. In total, 27 respondents said they were ethnic Albanians, and 13 identified themselves as ethnic Macedonians. Also, ten respondents were women. While eight were full-time beekeepers, 32 were part-time beekeepers. Findings The results indicated that beekeeping businesses play a significant role in the transition economy of Macedonia. Beekeeping provides additional earnings that support rural families and keeps them financially stable. The majority of both Albanians and Macedonians understood that beekeeping on a part-time job basis provided a needed supplement to their income. Some part-time beekeepers are also working as auto-mechanics, locksmiths, medical doctors, restaurant/cafeteria owners, and tailors. A few in the sample were retired from their jobs or full-time beekeepers. An important difference between ethnic Albanian beekeepers and ethnic Macedonians in Macedonia is that the majority of ethnic Albanian participants see beekeeping as following in “my father’s footsteps”, while most Macedonians were motivated by the perceived opportunity of having a good business. Research limitations/implications Limitations of the research are twofold. First, financial data of family beekeeping are not available, which would be useful in determining the contribution made to economic development. It is common, especially in transition economies such as the western Balkans, that financial results are very sensitive to their owners. Second, unavailable databases for beekeepers make any quantitative approach difficult, if not impossible, resulting in most research using the qualitative research approach. Originality/value This paper is one of the first to treat beekeeping as a form of artisan entrepreneurship, which also contributes to the understanding of family business. As in other countries, the important and operation of the family business among family members in Macedonia is passed from generation to generation. The results of this research revealed the value of networking, which was found to be very important to income. For beekeepers to develop, grow, and be branded in the community, networking is an important ingredient.

Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to understand the similarities and differences in the internationalization of SMEs and MNEs and the specific factors affecting them.Design methodology approach - The relevant literature was reviewed particularly in the context of the major theories of internationalization.Findings - The positive and negative aspects of each theoretical approach to internationalization are present to form the basis of a new model of international entrepreneurship.Research limitations implications - The newly developed conceptual model has not been empirically tested.Originality value - A redeveloped theoretical integrative conceptual model of international entrepreneurship is proposed based on four internationalization properties (mode, market, product, and time), internationalization performance, and key antecedents and consequences of the internationalization process.

Purpose This paper aims to identify the opportunities for them to manage this type of company within the Indonesian context. Design/methodology/approach This paper features descriptive multi-case analyses with a qualitative approach being used to gather and analyze data through in-depth interviews with several Indonesian family business owners having experience of succession. Findings The participation of women in family business management in several major Indonesian cities is quite extensive, especially for those who are highly educated. Similarly, the benefits of involving women in the management of family businesses are quite high because of their personal traits of patience, fastidiousness, tenacity and thriftiness. What is required is to provide wider access for Indonesian women to corporate management positions, broaden their participation in family businesses, secure a controlling role for women and increase women’s knowledge and skills so as to increase the benefit to family company management and its ability to face global competition. Originality/value A conceptual framework demonstrating the various stages of succession planning related to gender equality, which provide women with an opportunity to form the next generation of family business leaders is provided.

We examined how error orientation and opportunity identification behavior relate to entrepreneurial decision making in Chinese small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and how these perceptions of opportunity identification mediate the effects of error orientation on entrepreneurial decision making. We analyzed 187 questionnaires from participants in SME firms in China. The results indicated that perceived error orientation and opportunity identification were related to and explained variance in entrepreneurial decision making. Opportunity identification also fully or partially mediated the relationship between error orientation and entrepreneurial decision making. Elevating opportunity identification beliefs and clarifying an entrepreneur's understanding of the importance of opportunity identification for the functionality and effectiveness of his/her firm can help promote entrepreneurial decision making. Alertness to error orientation can contribute to the development of stronger perceptions of entrepreneurial opportunity identification and lead to better entrepreneurial decision making.

This study uses a structural equation modeling technique to predict the internationalization of small and medium‐sized enterprises (SMEs) from the entrepreneur's human capital (dimensions: international business skills, international orientation, environmental perception, and management know‐how). While international orientation and environmental risk perception predicted internationalization, international business skills and management know‐how did not. The implications of these findings for research and practice are discussed. Copyright © 2007 ASAC. Published by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. Dans la présente étude, nous utilisons la modélisation par équation structurelle pour prédire l'internationalisation des petites et moyennes enterprises (PMEs) à partir des actifs humains (dimensions : les compétences en affaires internationales, l'orientation internationale, la perception de l'environnement et le savoir‐faire des gestionnaires). Les résultats indiquent que si l'orientation internationale et la perception du risque environnemental prédisent l'internationalisation, il n'en va pas de même des compétences en affaires internationales et du savoir faire des gestionnaires. Nous clôturons notre étude en examinant ses implications au niveau de la recherche et de la pratique. Copyright © 2007 ASAC. Published by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
