Abstract

With team-based structures replacing traditional hierarchical systems, the purpose of this paper was to explore the concept of shared leadership and its impact on improving team performance. The five underlying mechanisms that form the components which drive shared leadership, namely (1) trust, (2) empowerment, (3) age and maturity, (4) fair reward, and (5) dispositions and beliefs, provide readers with a practical understanding of how to attain, maintain, and regain shared leadership for the performance of teams in organisations today. In addition, a focus on shared leadership in other team contexts, such as sport, unconventional and multicultural environments is also discussed to aid the progression of shared leadership research and broaden its application beyond traditional business and managerial contexts.

Abstract

Purpose

This paper aims to examine the relationships between socioeconomic development, renewable energy and the innovative process by providing: a descriptive analysis; a co-occurrence analysis of terms, thematic mapping and conceptual structure; and the typology of the textual corpus.

Design/methodology/approach

To analyze the relationship between “renewable energies, socioeconomic development and the innovative process,” it is necessary to build a theoretical foundation that contains the relevant scientific studies and reflects the current state of the art on the subject. For this, this study developed a systematic literature review (SLR) using the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses research protocol to answer the relationship on the theme.

Findings

Research shows a global understanding of the need to invest in developing studies to reduce carbon dioxide emissions and improve economic growth. The main contributions lie in providing a typology of the state of the art, identifying the joint relationships between themes, insights into the key themes and indicating themes that must be developed. This study may also support future empirical studies as it provides a theoretical foundation for formulating hypotheses, which can be tested through qualitative and quantitative approaches.

Originality/value

The innovative character consists of addressing a shortage of SLRs on this theme. Thus, this paper fills this gap by providing a theoretical foundation for future scientific and academic knowledge generation. Furthermore, regarding the interdisciplinary aspects of this research as contributions, this paper presented different approaches and theoretical perspectives.

Abstract

Tucked in the back of Venkataraman’s 1997 work on the distinctive domain of entrepreneurship (DDE) lies a pointer to a question each individual must face when choosing to start a new venture; “is entrepreneurship worth it?” Inventorying costs associated with risk, uncertainty, and illiquidity against surpluses from financial and psychological factors unique to entrepreneurship, Venkataraman tempts readers to tally entrepreneurial returns. The authors summarize and integrate an academic study of these various cost and return components over the past 20 years using Venkataraman’s original framework. The authors find the answer to the question of “is entrepreneurship worth it?” varies with time. Researcher’s answer to the question has shifted from an early view that entrepreneurs sacrifice financial gain in exchange for soft psychological benefits to a more positive view that entrepreneurs are rewarded both financially and psychologically for the unique costs borne in the DDE. But the rewards are not immediate. In entrepreneur time, break-even emerges by gradually overcoming an initial deficit. As surpluses accrue, returns to entrepreneurs likely eventually exceed those of their wage-earning peers.

Abstract

Purpose

This study aims to investigate the impact of local government market orientation as perceived by Millennials on their intention to support tourism development.

Design/methodology/approach

An online survey administered to a sample of 418 Millennials was designed for descriptive and causal data analyses.

Findings

The results show that Millennials’ intention to support tourism is high and depends on perceived market orientation. In the proposed model, market orientation by local government directly predicts perceived benefits and attitudes, and indirectly, the intention to support. Economic benefits are not the only relevant benefits to Millennials.

Research limitations/implications

The main limitation of this work is related to the selection and combination of the internal and external variables included in the proposed model, given the great diversity of variables in the literature in this field.

Practical implications

This study allows us to predict and encourage Millennials’ intention to support tourism development through very few variables. This study is of theoretical and practical interest to local government, tourism firms, educators and researchers. These entities can, thus, encourage the support process collaboratively among Millennials.

Originality/value

This predictive study of Millennials’ intention to support includes variables that have not been previously studied together. Through market orientation by local government, the organizational world and young consumers are connected. The generational approach adopted allows the use of global actions to encourage Millennials’ support.

Propósito

Este estudio tiene como objetivo investigar el impacto de la orientación al mercado del gobierno local, según la perciben los Millennials, en su intención de apoyar el desarrollo turístico.

Diseño/metodología/enfoque

Se diseñó una encuesta online administrada a una muestra de 418 Millennials para el análisis de datos descriptivos y causales.

Hallazgos

Los resultados muestran que la intención de los Millennials de apoyar el turismo es alta y depende de la orientación del mercado percibida. En el modelo propuesto, la orientación al mercado por parte del gobierno local predice directamente los beneficios y actitudes percibidos, e indirectamente, la intención de apoyar. Los beneficios económicos no son los únicos beneficios relevantes para los Millennials.

Limitaciones/implicaciones de la investigación

La principal limitación de este trabajo está relacionada con la selección y combinación de las variables internas y externas incluidas en el modelo propuesto, dada la gran diversidad de variables en la literatura en este campo.

Implicaciones prácticas

El estudio nos permite predecir y fomentar la intención de los Millennials de apoyar el desarrollo turístico a través de muy pocas variables. El estudio es de interés teórico y práctico para gobiernos locales, empresas turísticas, educadores e investigadores. Estas entidades pueden, así, facilitar el proceso de apoyo de forma colaborativa entre Millennials.

Originalidad/valor

Este estudio predictivo de la intención de apoyo de los Millennials incluye variables que no se han estudiado juntas previamente. A través de la orientación al mercado del gobierno local, el mundo organizacional y el joven consumidor están conectados. El enfoque generacional adoptado permite el uso de acciones globales para incentivar el apoyo de los Millennials.

Abstract

The objective of this study is to investigate how country risk, different political actions from the government and bureaucratic behavior influence the activities in industry supply chains (SCs) in emerging markets. The main objective of this study is to investigate the influence of these external stakeholders’ elements to the demand-side and supply-side drivers and barriers for improving competitiveness of Ready-Made Garment (RMG) industry in the way of analyzing supply chain. Considering the phenomenon of recent change in the RMG business environment and the competitiveness issues this study uses the principles of stakeholder and resource dependence theory and aims to find out some factors which influence to make an efficient supply chain for improving competitiveness. The RMG industry of Bangladesh is the case application of this study. Following a positivist paradigm, this study adopts a two phase sequential mixed-method research design consisting of qualitative and quantitative approaches. A tentative research model is developed first based on extensive literature review. Qualitative field study is then carried out to fine tune the initial research model. Findings from the qualitative method are also used to develop measures and instruments for the next phase of quantitative method. A survey is carried out with sample of top and middle level executives of different garment companies of Dhaka city in Bangladesh and the collected quantitative data are analyzed by partial least square-based structural equation modeling. The findings support eight hypotheses. From the analysis the external stakeholders’ elements like bureaucratic behavior and country risk have significant influence to the barriers. From the internal stakeholders’ point of view the manufacturers’ and buyers’ drivers have significant influence on the competitiveness. Therefore, stakeholders need to take proper action to reduce the barriers and increase the drivers, as the drivers have positive influence to improve competitiveness.

This study has both theoretical and practical contributions. This study represents an important contribution to the theory by integrating two theoretical perceptions to identify factors of the RMG industry’s SC that affect the competitiveness of the RMG industry. This research study contributes to the understanding of both external and internal stakeholders of national and international perspectives in the RMG (textile and clothing) business. It combines the insights of stakeholder and resource dependence theories along with the concept of the SC in improving effectiveness. In a practical sense, this study certainly contributes to the Bangladeshi RMG industry. In accordance with the desire of the RMG manufacturers, the research has shown that some influential constructs of the RMG industry’s SC affect the competitiveness of the RMG industry. The outcome of the study is useful for various stakeholders of the Bangladeshi RMG industry sector ranging from the government to various private organizations. The applications of this study are extendable through further adaptation in other industries and various geographic contexts.
