Uneven Contributions
Informal entrepreneurship dominates economic activity across the Global South, yet its role in sustainable development remains contested. While informal enterprises generate substantial income and employment contributing 40%–60% of GDP and engaging over 70% of the workforce in many developing regions, their broader social and environmental consequences are insufficiently understood. Drawing on the triple bottom line (TBL) framework, this study ex…
Matching tourism entrepreneurs and their first employees
The first hire represents one of the biggest growth events facing any entrepreneurial firm – it effectively corresponds to the challenge to solo entrepreneurs to double their workforce. Focusing on the hospitality industry – a sector that is particularly driven by new solo entrepreneur formation – and departing from economic and cognitive theories, we examine human capital configurations combining entrepreneurs and their first employees. We find …
Technological readiness during different stages of the pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic has triggered a significant transformation, requiring society to adapt to the ‘new normal’ and shifting how individuals and organizations operate. This study seeks to analyze the changes in technological readiness among the workforce during the COVID-19 pandemic and to explore the impact of key factors on individuals' readiness to embrace digital technologies. We investigate how organizations' technological readiness is infl…
Reconciling people, planet, and profit
Amid mounting social and environmental pressures, sustainable business models must balance social responsibility (people) and ecological stewardship (planet) with financial performance (profit). While business model innovation (BMI) offers a mechanism to address these challenges, the strategic trade-offs start-ups make to reconcile conflicting triple-bottom-line (TBL) goals remain elusive. Addressing this gap, a multiple-case study of 24 high-tec…
Risk it, if you dare
The adoption of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) is influenced by perceived risks, which can impact perceptions of performance, effort, and emotions. Understanding how different facets of risk drive functional and non-functional perceptions and lead to actual use would be crucial to improving its acceptance and adoption in knowledge work. By assessing performance, privacy, psychological, social, and time risk, and incorporating them int…
Family Business Ethics
Ethical issues in family businesses become increasingly relevant for businesses, societies and, consequently, organization scholars which manifests in a growing number of publications in the field over the years. Considerable knowledge generated in the area needs to be systematically structured and synthesized. This study reviewed 162 articles published over the last three decades (1989–2023) to map the intellectual and conceptual structure, and …
Configurational theory in business and management research
Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) has become a key method in Business and Management research, sparking significant discussions about its use. While many studies have explored QCA's application across various research contexts, there has been limited focus on the critical link between its theoretical foundations and methodological applications. Our review of QCA literature in Business and Management research ( n = 675 articles) reveals that …

The role of strategic orientations for digital innovation
Today, firms increasingly need to strategically manage their digital innovation while aligning it with their strategic behaviors (i.e., entrepreneurial and sustainability orientations). Given the lack of previous research on alignment and digital innovation , our study explores and tests how a firm's sustainability and entrepreneurial orientations influence digital innovation. Given that firms can implement diverse digital technologies, we study …
Opinion Paper
Transformative artificially intelligent tools, such as ChatGPT, designed to generate sophisticated text indistinguishable from that produced by a human, are applicable across a wide range of contexts. The technology presents opportunities as well as, often ethical and legal, challenges, and has the potential for both positive and negative impacts for organisations, society, and individuals. Offering multi-disciplinary insight into some of these, …
Digital entrepreneurship
Innovation boosts economic growth, and one of the most critical factors when considering innovation-driven growth is the role of disruptive innovation, which is hailed as a lodestar by leaders of both small and large firms. However, little is known about the role of entrepreneurial orientation (EO) and digitalization strategy in enhancing or hindering firms' disruptive innovation. Our study thus addresses the relationships between EO and firms' a…
Demystifying massive and rapid business scaling – An explorative study on driving factors in digital start-ups
This study explores the concept of massive and rapid business scaling (MRBS) in the context of digital start-ups by identifying 20 factors clustered into seven core drivers. Through inductive qualitative research, the study builds on 53 semi-structured interviews with founders, executives, and advisors, leading to the development of a framework that uncovers seven core drivers of MRBS contributing to the scaling process. These core drivers are as…
From moon landing to metaverse
Technological Forecasting and Social Change (TFSC) is one of the most prominent journals to focus on the methodologies and practices of technological forecasting and futures studies. This study aims to analyse the topical structure of TFSC and track the most cited articles published in the journal using a combination of a structural topic model (STM) and bibliometric analysis. The STM reveals 18 prominent topics in TFSC, and the topical quality o…
Interorganisational citizenship behaviours
Purpose Citizenship behaviours are used in organisation studies to explain their effectiveness and to capture the role of unsolicited, extra-role behaviours. Recent extensions towards the interorganisational context provide evidence that Interorganisational Citizenship Behaviours (ICBs) are important in facilitating supply chain operations and cluster innovation activities. This study took stock of citizenship behaviours literature within and amo…
Emotional demands and entrepreneurial burnout
The why, how, and what of public policy implications of tourism and hospitality research
We synthesized policy implications of tourism and hospitality research by reviewing 12,269 articles published in 10 leading journals from 2012 to 2021. The most common rationale for policies (i.e., the why) is market failure, while the most typical role of policies (i.e., the how) is to create incentives. In addition, policies are typically hybrid and include suggestions for formal and informal institutional setups (i.e., the what). Because our r…
The impact of digitalization on entrepreneurial activity and sustainable competitiveness
Public and private stakeholders increasingly rely on digital technologies to foster entrepreneurial ecosystems while pursuing the goal of sustainable competitiveness, which entails ensuring economic, environmental, and social development. Recently, the emergence of the twin transitions concept portraying an incontestable complementarity between digital and green transitions has led to calls for further research. Few studies have however investiga…

Digital transformation in business and management research
It is no surprise that research on digital transformation (DT) has raised vast interest among academics in recent decades. Countries, cities, industries, companies, and people all face the same challenge of adapting to a digital world. The aim of the paper is twofold. First, map the thematic evolution of the DT research in the areas of business and management, because existing research in these areas to date has been limited to certain domains. T…
Literature reviews as independent studies
Review articles or literature reviews are a critical part of scientific research. While numerous guides on literature reviews exist, these are often limited to the philosophy of review procedures, protocols, and nomenclatures, triggering non-parsimonious reporting and confusion due to overlapping similarities. To address the aforementioned limitations, we adopt a pragmatic approach to demystify and shape the academic practice of conducting litera…
Early bird or early worm? First-mover (dis)advantages and the success of web-based social enterprises
Achieving the optimal market entry time is of immense strategic importance for entrepreneurs, especially in online markets, where web-based social entrepreneurial activity continues to grow. This raises the question of whether first-mover market entry actually pays off or if market entry as a (later) follower might be the better option. First-mover research has so far not adequately answered this question. Our work contributes to closing this gap…

Digital Transformation
The increasing digitalization of economies has highlighted the importance of digital transformation and how it can help businesses stay competitive in the market. However, disruptive changes not only occur at the company level; they also have environmental, societal, and institutional implications. This is the reason why during the past two decades the research on digital transformation has received growing attention, with a wide range of topics …
Fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) in business and management research
To make scientific inferences about business phenomena, it may not be sufficient to consider the real-world context of the business environment as statistically symmetrical (e.g., linearly, regular frequencies). This is why recently the use of asymmetrical techniques which draw on the reasoning of complexity theory - such as fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) - to better predict and explain real-world business phenomena using a co…

L'Abandon Du Kibboutz Par Les Jeunes
The Israeli kibbutz has been created under certain historical circumstances starting from a strictly egalitarian, socialist ideology. However, during its development of more than half a century, mechanisms of social stratification have appeared, which permitted the mobilization of energies, but at the same time re-created conflicts, which express themselves by the abandonment of the kibbutz. From a sample of ex-members, born in kibbutzim, the pap…

The art of crafting a systematic literature review in entrepreneurship research
Systematic literature reviews are an increasingly used review methodology to synthesize the existing body of literature in a field. However, editors complain about a high number of desk rejections because of a lack in quality. Poorly developed review articles are not published because of a perceived lack of contribution to the field. Our article supports authors of standalone papers and graduate students in the Entrepreneurship domain to write co…
Predictors of Covid-19 voluntary compliance behaviors
With a large international sample (n = 8317), the present study examined which beliefs and attitudes about COVID-19 predict 1) following government recommendations, 2) taking health precautions (including mask wearing, social distancing, handwashing, and staying at home), and 3) encouraging others to take health precautions. The results demonstrate the importance of believing that taking health precautions will be effective for avoiding COVID-19 …

Designing coopetition for radical innovation
Exploring dark creativity
Creativity is seen as a significant driver for successful marketing activities. However, little attention is paid to its shady side and little research on the prerequisites for unethical behaviour of marketing experts and executives is on hand. In our experimental study, we examine the mutual influence of power, honesty-humility, and benevolent creativity as predictors for ‘dark creativity’ (the use of creative ideas for malevolent actions). Part…
Digital transformation in healthcare
Digital transformation in healthcare is of increasing relevance for both scholars and practitioners in the field. Our article attempts to assess the research question how multiple stakeholders implement digital technologies for management and business purposes. To answer this question, we perform a systematic literature review about the state of the art of digital transformation in healthcare. Our findings show that prior research falls into five…
Innovation and the circular economy
The circular economy emerged as an alternative model to the linear system, which now appears to be reaching its physical limitations. To transition to a circular economy, companies must not only be aware of but also engage in more sustainable practices. For such a transition, companies must rethink and innovate their business models and the ways they propose value to their clients while simultaneously considering environmental and social facets. …
Professional football clubs and empirical evidence from the Covid-19 crisis
The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has spread worldwide in a short period and has developed into one of the biggest public health issues of the last decade. The actions initiated by governments to minimize person-to-person contact have also severely affected professional football clubs (PFCs) in the season 2019/20. Given the role of football in Europe, football clubs gained massive public and political attention during the COVID-19 crisis. Based …
A tailored-fit model evaluation strategy for better decisions about structural equation models
Proper measurement of technology knowledge and social change enables managers to advance strategies in technology management. Structural equation modeling is the ideal method in Technological Forecasting and Social Change (TFSC) and other leading journals to assess the measurement quality of the relevant decision variables and understand how they are related. However, a myriad of indicators are now available to judge how suitable these measuremen…
Digital strategy implementation
In transformational strategy contexts such as digitalization, the entrepreneurial behavior of the firm's employees is crucial. This study examines the role of employees’ individual-level entrepreneurial orientation (IEO) in terms of proactiveness, risk-taking, and innovativeness, and their relational capital within the organization, on their performance in achieving organizations’ digital strategy goals. We hypothesize that all IEO dimensions are…
Analyzing the relationship between green innovation and environmental performance in large manufacturing firms
Extant literature suggests that green intellectual capital (GIC), green human resource management (GHRM), and green innovation (GI) impacts the environmental performance of firms. In this paper, we argue that the relationship between GIC, GHRM, GI and environmental performance is more complex than previously suggested. We propose that neither GIC nor GHRM are directly related to environmental performance. We argue instead that GI mediates the rel…
