Abstract:
This article examines entrepreneurial identity in both the United Kingdom and China through the lenses of identity theory and social identity theory to develop a deeper and more holistic understanding of the concept of entrepreneurial identity. By examining the entrepreneur as both a role and an identity, this article explores how an entrepreneur views the role of the entrepreneur, the counter-roles to the entrepreneur, and the “self-as-entrepreneur” and seeks to understand how entrepreneurs construct their identity as an entrepreneur. By looking at the role identity in different social constructs, a more nuanced view of entrepreneurial identity can be uncovered for entrepreneurs in both the United Kingdom and China. The study argues that entrepreneurs in the United Kingdom use counter-roles to bridge the disconnect between their understanding of the entrepreneur-as-role and the self-as-entrepreneur, whereas entrepreneurs in China have less conflict reconciling the two and use the counter-role as a way to paint entrepreneurship as a “calling,” justifying their abandonment of other identities.

Abstract:
Purpose Labor conflict has become a serious problem in recent China. From the perspective of entrepreneur innovation, this paper aims to find an effective path to eliminate this conflict. On the basis of theoretical analyses and regression analyses, this paper finds that, with legal environment and other conditions identical, entrepreneur innovation will significantly facilitate elimination of labor conflicts. Design/methodology/approach Using theoretical analyses based on entrepreneurship theory, this paper puts forward a series of hypotheses about the effects of entrepreneur innovation on labor conflicts. With panel data during 2013-2015 from China Employer–Employee Survey, this paper examines the effects of entrepreneur innovation on labor conflicts. Using interaction term regressions, this paper examines heterogeneous effects of entrepreneur innovation on labor conflicts by ownership, market power and export behavior. With mediating effect model, this paper examine whether workers’ participation in corporation governance is an important channel in which entrepreneurial innovation can impact on labor conflicts. Findings First, using benchmark regressions and robustness checks, this paper finds that there exist significantly positive effects of entrepreneur innovation on workers’ job satisfaction, incentive, social security, job development and job stability, which will reduce potential risks of labor conflict effectively. Second, using interaction term regressions, this paper finds that there exist heterogeneous effects of entrepreneur innovation on labor conflicts by ownership, market power and export behaviors. The study finds that the effects of entrepreneur innovation are more concentrated in private firms, firms with stronger market power and non-exporters. Third, using a mediating effect model, the study finds that workers’ participation in corporation governance is an important channel in which entrepreneur innovation can have impacts on labor conflicts. Originality/value The paper enriches the existing research about how to eliminate labor conflicts in China. On the basis of China Employer–Employee Survey data, this paper finds the importance of entrepreneur innovation on Chinese transition, which not only has positive impacts on firm performance, but also has impacts on eliminating labor conflicts and establishing better labor relationship. Therefore, stimulating entrepreneur innovation is very important for solving conflicts during Chinese transition.

Abstract:
The aim of this study was to discover differences in work-family conflict among women who work as employees and women who worked as entrepreneurs. The samples of this re-search were 189 women (98 employees and 91 entrepreneurs). This quantitative com-parative design used an incidental sampling technique. The measuring instrument was the work-family conflict (WFC) translated from Greenhaus and Beutell. The data collected was analyzed using Mann Whitney-U Test. The results show no difference in WFC among women who work as employees and women as entrepreneurs. However, the data shows that the majority of entrepreneur women has very low WFC in all aspects (time, strain, and behavior), while women who work as employees tend to have medium WFC. The results of cross tabulation show that there are indications of an association between revenue and WFC (time and strain aspects) in employee respondents. While the entrepreneur women show indication of an association between the ages of marriage, and duration of work with WFC.

Abstract:
This study investigates the relationship between task conflict and innovation in small business. It also investigates the interactive effects of an entrepreneur's goal orientation and participative leadership style on the relationship between task conflict and innovation in small business. Hierarchical multiple regression analysis of data collected from 201 small businesses found a significant and positive relationship between task conflict and innovation. Analysis also revealed significant two-way interactive effect of an entrepreneur's participative leadership style and task conflict on innovation and significant three-way interactive effect between entrepreneur's goal orientation, participative leadership style and task conflict on innovation in small business. Results showed the relationship between task conflict and innovation is strongest in a small business of which the entrepreneur adopts a participative leadership style and the primary goal is growth and profit. Both the theoretical and practical implications of the results are discussed.

Abstract:
Conflict Zone Entrepreneurs (CZEs) include local businesses operating in conflict settings, which represent the dominant form of employment in poverty-conflict scenarios, often hosting the most vulnerable in society who live on the poverty line. Despite their importance in the peacebuilding equation, little is known about their role in the peacebuilding process, with a variety of ad hoc contributions from assorted fields often assuming peacebuilding links with entrepreneurship, with little empiricism to support these claims. Consolidating prior works, the paper appropriately positions entrepreneurship as a community-level peacebuilding mechanism, presenting a framework that identifies the major entrepreneurial typologies that are present in conflict zones. Entrepreneurs are characterized as being either peacebuilders, destructive entrepreneurs, or ingroup and intergroup contributors. By presenting the paradoxical impact of CZEs, the paper identifies inclusivity and responsible practices as the central factors that determine whether an entrepreneur will be peacebuilding, or destructive.

Abstract:
PONTIFÍCIA UNIVERSIDADE CATÓLICA DO RIO DE JANEIRO
O presente trabalho estuda a atuação social dos empresários, comumente denominada de responsabilidade social empresarial - RSE -, a partir do pressuposto de que esta intervenção social, antes de ser uma novidade na atuação dos empresários, conta com uma longa trajetória que remonta aos primórdios do desenvolvimento industrial no país. Nesta trajetória, foram estruturados diferentes modelos de intervenção que aqui são identificados como controle, incorporação e gerenciamento do social. Cada um deles expressa tanto o enfrentamento da relação capital x trabalho como a busca de legitimação do processo de acumulação, ao nível interno de sua força produtiva, como externamente envolvendo em escalas crescentes o conjunto da sociedade. A pesquisa foi estruturada em duas grandes frentes de investigação: uma primeira de perfil documental e bibliográfico buscou reconstituir a trajetória sócio-histórica da atuação social dos empresários. A segunda voltou-se para a compreensão de suas formas de ação frente às novas determinações do capitalismo contemporâneo. Ainda que, analisando processos mais amplos, este estudo focaliza uma empresa hoje multinacional, com marcante atuação no âmbito da RSE, cuja evolução produtiva percorreu os diferentes modelos de intervenção social aqui identificado. Considerando nossa hipótese de que um dos elementos fundamentais da RSE é estruturar, também, uma contraface à emergência de conflitos internos e externos aos interesses do capital, o estudo pautou-se pela identificação da manifestação contraditória entre intervenção e conflito social. Foi utilizado instrumental disponível pelas mídias digitais (internet, sites institucionais e outros endereços eletrônicos) com ênfase no YouTube, considerando-o como um modo de comunicação áudio-visual que dá visibilidade aos interesses e condições de vida de grupos sociais e sistemas ambientais atingidos (e prejudicados) pelo avanço da produção generalizada de mercadorias.
The present thesis studies entrepreneurs social responsibility from the standpoint that their social intervention, instead of being a novelty, is anchored in a long tradition that stretches back to the beginnings of Brazil s industrial development. The different models of intervention developed in this tradition are here identified as incorporation and management control of the social question. Each model expresses the way capital-work relation was coped and the search for legitimacy of the accumulation process at the internal level of its productive force, on the one hand, and at the external level envolving increasingly all society, on the other hand. The reseach was lead in two major fronts: firstly, a documentary and litterary investigation sought to reconstruct the socio-historical path of the social actions of entrepreneurs. Secondly, it turned to the understanding of their forms of action in the face of new determinations of contemporary capitalism. While analyzing broader processes, this study focuses on a Brazilian multinational company which has today significant activity in the evolution of CSR, and whose history toured the different models of social intervention identified here. Considering our hypothesis that one of the basic structure of CSR is also to oppose the emergence of internal and external conflicts concerning the interests of capital, the study was guided by the identification of the outbreak contradiction between intervention and social conflict. Sources included many digital media available in internet, corporate websites and other email addresses, with emphasis on YouTube, considered as a way of audio-visual communication that has been giving visibility to the interests and living conditions of social groups and environmental systems affected and affected by the advance of generalized commodity production.

Abstract:
Recent conflict research has relied on proxy variables of horizontal inequality to make causal assumptions, but these do not reveal the root of deprivation in aggrieved populations. However, it is important to continue to explore the greed-grievance dichotomy to explain the persistence of violent civil conflict. The purpose of this quantitative study was to expand this line of inquiry by investigating the relationship between indicators of vertical deprivation and reported civil conflict incidents to determine whether a significant correlation exists. Relative deprivation theory provided the framework for this study, which consisted of 10,779 survey responses regarding lived experience across 7 countries experiencing a total of 890 civil conflict incidents in 2016. Although tests of multiple linear regression indicated statistically significant relationships (p < .001) between two of the predictor variables and reported civil conflict incidents, the availability of electricity when connected to the main made the most substantial contribution to the model in both predictability and correlation. Therefore, the findings provide insight into the type and nature of deprivations, such as those associated with access to and availability of electricity, that have the greatest potential of becoming grievances susceptible to exploitation by conflict entrepreneurs. Implications for positive social change include using this analysis to promote increased conflict inquiry among public administration scholars and to inform a more substantive role of local government managers in identifying and remediating vertical grievances, thereby mitigating civil conflict.

Abstract:

Over 35 years of gross economic mismanagement and business failures led Liberia’s gross domestic product to collapse by 90% in less than two decades. As a result of a general lack of business skills, up to 80% of Liberian small-business entrepreneurs fail in business beyond the first year. Based on the theory of constraints, the purpose of this exploratory multiple case study was to explore the business skills that Liberian small-business entrepreneurs used to succeed in business beyond the first year. Data came from semistructured face-to-face interviews with 5 central regional Liberian small-business entrepreneurs who had succeeded in business beyond the first year. Participant observation, the use of company documents, and the use of member checking allowed for methodological triangulation and verification of the themes. Analysis of data involved using pattern-matching technique and date coding to evaluate, organize, code, and analyze the raw data. There were 3 prominent themes that emerged among entrepreneurs during data analysis: business knowledge, bookkeeping, and pricing skills. The data from the results indicated, within this particular context, Liberian small-business entrepreneurs used business skills for knowledge, finance, and marketing. Focusing on these practices may lead to increased profit and business success beyond the first year for other Liberian small-business entrepreneurs. The findings from the study could provide mechanisms for social change by giving Liberian small-business entrepreneurs additional ideas for using their business skills in their businesses. Furthermore, the findings may aid the Liberian communities to create training programs and curriculums for numerous Liberian colleges and institutions for future Liberian small-business owners.

Abstract:
As the United States prepares for a generational shift in leaders, there is a lack of literature adequately examining how Generation X and Millennial entrepreneurs manage organizational conflict about leadership and change management. The scope of this problem should concern individuals who are stakeholders in any organization. In preparation for the coming shift in generational leaders, the subject study explored the management of organizational conflict regarding leadership and change management for Generation X and Millennial entrepreneurs. Supported by a theoretical foundation built on theory of generations and realistic group conflict theory, this qualitative study analyzed the interviews and narratives of six Generation X entrepreneurs and six Millennial entrepreneurs. The analysis outlined specific themes of the management of organizational conflict by participants from both generations. This study revealed that Generation X cohort members tackle contemporaneous or emerging conflict via formal dialogue and compromised reconciliations, in the service and advancement of the organization, while Millennial entrepreneurs manage organizational conflict as it relates to leadership and change management by employing conversations rooted in fundamental company values, orchestrating team meetings, and establishing a goal-aligned yet collaborative work culture. The subject study also disclosed that Generation X and Millennial entrepreneurs both incorporate conversations to manage organizational conflict as it relates to leadership and change management, but they contrast on prioritizing creating a collaborative work culture versus focusing on company growth. At an organizational level, the instant study impacts stakeholders by enabling positive social changes informed by evidence-based insights about how Generation X and Millennial entrepreneurs manage organizational conflict.

Abstract:
New ventures started by entrepreneurs need access to the right amount of financial resourcesin order to grow and expand businesses. Venture capital financing and partnerships withventure capital firms is a common route for entrepreneurial companies to acquire the neededfinancing for growing the venture, which in turn benefits a country’s economy as a whole.The partnership between the venture capital firm and the entrepreneur may involve conflicts,due to different goals and objectives towards the business, difference in management stylesand personal background as well as task and contextual conflicts, to mention some examples.We discovered a knowledge gap regarding conflicts between venture capital firms andentrepreneurs in Sweden and hence our aim with this study is to provide an answer on howventure capital firms and entrepreneurs are dealing with these potential conflicts in Sweden.To find out the answer, we reviewed selected and relevant literature on the subject andadapted a theoretical framework, based on existing literature. In terms of methodologicalapproach, we chose to be constructionists by following the abductive approach, in order toeffectively answer our research question and be able to add and complement our theoreticalframework, based on our empirical findings.Our empirical findings consists of four valuable interviews with venture capital firmmanagers and another four interviews with entrepreneurial CEOs and/or company founders,to get the view of both parties involved in venture capital partnerships. Based on ourempirical findings, our main conclusion is that the venture capital partnership often suffersfrom lacking communication from either or both parties, which could start or worsen theconflicts. Many of these problems are also derived by the vastly different backgrounds ofventure capital firm managers compared to entrepreneurs.Additionally, our study notes a tendency for less patience for conflicts among venture capitalfirms compared to entrepreneurs, as venture capital firms are willing to replace the currentCEO or make an early exit the venture or even liquidate its shares, if they deem problems assevere. On the other hand, entrepreneurs want to keep the dialogue going and seem to havemore patience. To mitigate the conflicts in the venture capital partnership, based on ourfindings, we propose that venture capital firms should hire managers or consultants with amore technical background when evaluating and working with certain entrepreneurs.Furthermore, venture capital firms may need to be more dynamic in terms of their controlmeasurements as opposed to being overly static on a long-term business plan which may getoutdated or lose relevancy.Entrepreneurs, nonetheless, need training and support in many cases, to understand how tocommunicate in business contexts and write business plans in order to facilitate thecollaboration with their venture capitalists.

Abstract:
Cette thèse est une contribution à la sociologie des problèmes publics, de l’action collective et des groupes d’intérêt. Elle interroge les conditions d’émergence d’une « cause » au début des années 1960 et ses transformations successives. Comment la défense d’un intérêt particulier, celui des populations palestiniennes, a-t-elle conduit à l’affirmation d’une identité politique par les groupes revendiquant une nation palestinienne ? On montre que la construction de cette cause s’est inscrite dans une conjoncture marquée par l’indépendance de l’Algérie et la décolonisation : elle a été indexée à la cause algérienne et au Tiers-Monde. Le ralliement de soutiens extérieurs a contribué à renforcer et légitimer cette revendication. A la fin des années 1970, le problème est reformulé dans le cadre de la protection des droits de l’homme : des associations de juristes se mobilisent en invoquant le droit international humanitaire (DIH) pour plaider en faveur de ces populations. Une défense juridique et morale est mise en œuvre pour promouvoir cette cause : le soutien international s’insère dans l’espace des mobilisations humanitaires et l’aide au développement ; de nouveaux acteurs, les ONG et les collectivités territoriales, mènent des coopérations en faveur du développement avec les collectivités palestiniennes. Les ressources mobilisées sont l’expertise, le droit, le plaidoyer international, caractéristiques du répertoire transnational-solidariste. L’enquête de terrain montre précisément de quelle façon une municipalité en France a conduit une coopération avec un camp de réfugiés en Cisjordanie. Les élus municipaux et les acteurs associatifs se sont investis dans un « jumelage » en soutenant un micro-projet porté par des femmes. Cette action publique vise à promouvoir la « culture de la paix » et les « coopérations solidaires » : l’action humanitaire permet de justifier l’engagement municipal et de mobiliser les habitants
This research aims to contribute to the sociology of public policies and social movements. It questions the conditions of emergence of a “cause” at the very beginning of the 1960’s and its successive transformations. Claiming for Palestinian interests has raised the affirmation of a political identity. The edification of this “cause” during the political context of the 1960’s points out that this issue has been referred to the Algerian national liberation movement. It’s a “Third-World” problem. But at the end of the 1970’s, this cause has been framed by the International Law and Humanitarian Topics. New actors reconfigured the problem: Associations of Jurists claimed assistance for the civil populations. Advocacy networks promoted Human rights and conducted an international moral protest. NGO’s and local civil authorities supported the development of Palestinian Territories by providing humanitarian aid. This cooperation belongs to a new Repertory of collective actions: Transnational-Solidarity. We have investigated the local level of a cooperation conducted by a French municipality with a Palestinian city in the West Bank (a refugee camp). Our enquiry points out how the actors provide support for empowerment of Female inhabitants. Humanitarian Aid for civil population is a way to legitimate political engagements

Full text
Abstract:
How do international norms travel, via statebuilding efforts, into post-conflict settings, and how do international and national actors interact in this process? These are the main questions addressed in this thesis. The empirical focus is the spreading and rooting of the norm of women’s political rights in Cambodia and Timor-Leste, two countries in which international actors have played a significant role in statebuilding efforts. Although statebuilding has increasingly become a part of UN peacebuilding missions, we still lack a thorough understanding of how much, and in what ways, the international community can successfully promote change. This is important in view of the fact that the key to success ultimately depends on how the receiving community responds to the presence and efforts of international actors to promote new social norms.  This study analyzes the interaction between international and national actors engaged in the promotion of women’s political rights as part of the effort to advance democracy. Three institutional developments are examined in detail – electoral rules and regulations, the establishment of a national gender equality/women’s machinery and the strengthening of the local government structure. The study uses a modified norm diffusion approach and makes two theoretical contributions to the literature. First, I place the norm diffusion process in a post-conflict context. Second, I add the concept of capability to function in order to conceptualize and study the internalization of the norm. The thesis is based on both an analysis of written material and semi-structured interviews. A total of 65 interviews were conducted during three research trips to each of the countries between 2007 and 2009. In general, the four empirical chapters reveal that the interaction between international and national actors has predominantly been characterized by international actors setting the agenda, with varying degrees of consultation and collaboration with national actors. While norm institutionalization has been rather high in both countries, norm inter­nalization lags behind. This is explained by discriminating ways of life and attitudes, lack of resources and time. Norm internalization is higher in Timor-Leste, in part because national actors have adapted the norm of women’s political rights to fit the local setting, but also due to their openness to international influences. The empirical study underscores that international actors can push for change and norm adherence, but their efforts are not enough. In the end, national actors have to buy into the message that international actors try to convey. The strengths and weaknesses that have been uncovered in the Cambodian and Timorese case studies presented here should be carefully considered as international actors, led by the UN, embark upon future statebuilding missions around the globe.

"Understanding the growth behaviour and available support for small to medium sized manufacturing firms in a conflict and poor infrastructure environment : the perspective of entrepreneurs in Swat Valley, Pakistan."

Abstract:
Entrepreneurship and small firms are regarded by policy makers and academics alike as being an important catalyst for economic growth. However, a perennial question is why firms do, or do not, grow. Therefore, much research has been undertaken over many decades capturing different environments to answer this complex phenomenon. Nevertheless, after the ‘9/11 attacks’, a new environment has emerged which many people call ‘the conflict environment’. To date, little research has been conducted and no rich empirical data is present in the entrepreneurship and small firm literature. To investigate small firms operation in a conflict environment and an associated poor infrastructure (which itself may pre-date the actual conflict) this study examines how a sample of firms grow and/or struggle in the province of Khyber Pakthunkawa, Pakistan. Two broad objectives were set for this study. The first and primary objective was to understand the growth behaviours of SME manufacturing firms and how they grow and struggle in a conflict and poor infrastructure environment. This was captured by examining their existing resources; entrepreneurial orientation behaviour; the impact of the conflict environment on their entrepreneurial activities; how the conflict and poor infrastructure environment was handled; and, lastly, business barriers they identified and their impact. The second objective was to consider available support and their perception on the effectiveness of such support. One hundred and ten manufacturing SMEs in the Swat Valley that met the selection criteria were studied and a mixed method was used. An initial survey was administered and respondents categorized themselves as either growing (30 firms) or struggling (80 firms). The thirty ‘High entrepreneurial’ firms stated that they have achieved and maintained growth despite the conflict and poor infrastructure environment, whilst the eighty ‘Low entrepreneurial’ firms stated that they are struggling. To gain further insight, sixteen semi-structured interviews were conducted from within this sample in order to elaborate the quantitative findings. Furthermore, four support organizations who were most mentioned by the participants were interviewed, thus allowing a consideration of the nature of any perceived gap between them and the SMEs. This research provides empirical evidence that as the conflict has developed in the Swat region, a few businesses have grown whilst the majority are struggling - but in their own way they are all ‘survivors’. It is argued that both growing and struggling firms show enterprise and entrepreneurship in this conflict zone. However, growing firms develop and exploit features which enable them to realise more entrepreneurial intentions as compared to struggling firms. These might be their access to human and non-human resources, and strong networks would be one of them. The conflict environment has created immense difficulties for both growing and struggling firms but paradoxically it has also benefited firms in the region. One positive consequence was that employees were prepared to help the entrepreneurs to overcome problems. This was seen through an increase in the autonomy dimension of entrepreneurial orientation. Another positive consequence was the spotting of new opportunities by the entrepreneurs in this harsh and changed environment. However, some entrepreneurs see opportunities whilst some see threats. Furthermore, both growing and struggling firms showed dissatisfaction with the existing business support but made useful suggestions as to how this could be improved. This would facilitate growing firms to grow faster and struggling firms to achieve growth which will help to enhance employment opportunities in the region and better contribute towards peace. Entrepreneurs were also keen to increase their business activities because they were optimistic that by creating new entrepreneurial opportunities in the region it will be harder for the terrorists and insurgents to succeed. Such groups target the deprivation arising from unemployment.

Abstract:
This article examines the relationship between civil conflict and development. After outlining definitions of conflict and development, it considers a number of explanations of why they are empirically related. The extent to which conflict, such as civil war, is due to development is discussed, along with how conflict affects development. The article then describes the routes through which conflict reduces development, namely destruction, disruption, diversion, and dis-saving. It also considers why development reduces the risk of conflict, paying particular attention to poverty as motivation for conflict, opportunities for violence entrepreneurs, poor state capacity, decreased lootability in diversified economies, higher costs to violence in densely interacting societies, indirect effect through political institutions, and education and the cognitive ability to maintain peaceful relations. The article concludes by assessing future prospects for the conflict–development linkage, as well as the role of development in reducing incidences of armed conflict worldwide.

Abstract:
Why do conflict-generated diasporas mobilize in contentious and non-contentious ways or use mixed strategies of contention? Why do they channel their homeland-oriented goals through host-states, transnational networks, and international organizations? This book develops a theory of socio-spatial positionality and its implications for the individual agency of diaspora entrepreneurs, moving beyond essentialized notions of diasporas as groups. Individual diaspora entrepreneurs operate in transnational social fields affecting their mobilizations beyond dynamics confined to host-states and original home-states. There are four types of diaspora entrepreneurs—Broker, Local, Distant, and Reserved—depending on the relative strength of their socio-spatial linkages to host-land, on the one hand, and original homeland and other global locations, on the other. A two-level typological theory captures nine causal pathways, unravelling how the socio-spatial linkages of these diaspora entrepreneurs interact with external factors: host-land foreign policies, homeland governments, parties, non-state actors, and critical events or limited global influences. Such pathways produce mobilization trajectories with varying levels of contention and methods of channelling homeland-oriented goals. Non-contentious pathways often occur when host-state foreign policies are convergent with the diaspora entrepreneurs’ goals, and when diaspora entrepreneurs can act autonomously. Dual-pronged contention pathways occur quite often, under the influence of homeland governments, non-state actors, and political parties. The most contentious pathway occurs in response to violent critical events in the homeland or adjacent to it fragile states. This book is informed by 300 interviews and a dataset of 146 interviews with diaspora entrepreneurs among the Albanian, Armenian, and Palestinian diasporas in the UK, Germany, France, Netherlands, Sweden, and Switzerland, as well as Kosovo and Armenia in the European neighbourhood.

Abstract:
In this paper, we present a method for identifying conflicts (Dilemmas) that have zero-sum solutions among the three aspects (Drivers) of sustainability, namely, social (people), environment (planet), and economic (profit) values. We develop the value proposition that is anchored in sustainable rural development by converting these zero-sum solutions to positive-sum solutions. Rural development is difficult, and it must be initiated from within the communities with the involvement of local people. We hypothesize that social entrepreneurs can serve as the proverbial lynchpin between the rural population and other agencies (government, non-government, banks, and industry). Hence in this paper, we use the constructs of a dilemma triangle and spheres of sustainability to propose a method to identify and manage dilemmas associated with creating a sustainable eco-system. We use example of a village in India to illustrate the method and to develop the value proposition for the village. The focus in this paper is on the method, rather than the results per se.

Abstract:
The paper deals with the experience of Czech cities with the revitalization of urban centres. The aim of the article is to find out how cities approach revitalization, what problems they solve and how satisfied they are with the state support. It is based on a representative questionnaire survey of municipalities (114 cities were interviewed, i.e. 28.6% of all cities). The research has shown that the most important problems of urban centres today include the quality of public spaces, transport infrastructure and mobility, and last but not least, the care for cultural heritage. Together with property owners, municipalities consider themselves to be the main actor (initiator and leader) of revitalization. The implementation of revitalization strategies in practice encounters a number of conflicts, especially between transport and the environment, between monument care and business, and between the interests of residents, entrepreneurs and tourists. Most cities evaluate the results of the revitalization of urban centres positively and perceive them as essential for the overall development of the city. More than half of the cities expressed dissatisfaction with a state support. Above all, they miss comprehensive support programs, enabling financing not only the revitalization of physical structures, but also measures to increase the attractiveness and attract new residents and visitors.

"Learning Entrepreneurship through Virtual Multicultural Teamwork." In InSITE 2019: Informing Science + IT Education Conferences: Jerusalem. Informing Science Institute, 2019. http://dx.doi.org/10.28945/4364.

Full text
Abstract:
[This Proceedings paper was revised and published in the 2019 issue of the journal Issues in Informing Science and Information Technology, Volume 16] Aim/Purpose: This paper explores the benefits and challenges of experiencing virtual multi-cultural teamwork in order to learn entrepreneurship. Background: Entrepreneurial eco-system usually requires working in international, virtual multi-cultural diverse teams. Higher education institutes are trying to educate future generation of entrepreneurs, coping with challenges derived from the virtual work and cultural diversity. Prior research shows that traditional learning is not effective for entrepreneurial education. Methodology: An explorative study was conducted based on the BIPA project, a Bavarian (German)-Israeli Partnership Accelerator, which was held four times between 2015 and 2017. The project aims to experience entrepreneurial virtual multicultural teamwork via co-creation of tailored-solutions for challenges of German or Israeli corporates. Retrospective interviews with participants were held after finishing their mission, and analyzed. Contribution: This research contributes to the body of knowledge about multicultural diverse participants in virtual entrepreneurial environments, in order to work together. This situation raises new challenges, due to the combination of multicultural teamwork and the use of virtual communication. Findings: The multicultural teamwork was a trigger to participate, specifically in the con-text of entrepreneurship studies with those two cultures, German and Israeli, which were found by participants as complementary, stimulating and fruitful, although challenging. Through experience, participants improved their entrepreneurial skills and mindset. The major teamwork challenges that were found included conflicts concerning free-riding, as well as communication challenges, due to virtual, language and cultural communication competencies. Recommendations for Practitioners: At a practical level, results can be useful for global companies, showing the benefits of virtual teamwork of employees in different locations, both in terms of reducing expenses and improving innovation. Moreover, managers can motivate employees by highlighting personal benefits, such as cultural awareness and improving their entrepreneurial skills and mindset. In addition, faculty may use this kind of experience to enhance entrepreneurial learning skills and mindset. Recommendations for Researchers : At the theoretical level, this research advances the body of knowledge of entrepreneurial multicultural teamwork in a virtual environment. In this research, the teams worked for a short time together (14 weeks) and had a week of face-to-face interaction with their team members. It is recommended to examine long-term teamwork, and how it affects teamwork challenges, as well as entrepreneurial learning. This research found the combination of German-Israeli cultures as stimulating entrepreneurial teamwork. It is recommended to examine other cultural combinations in teams, in order to be able to generalize findings. Impact on Society: Understanding the needs, benefits, and challenges of entrepreneurial multicultural teams working in a virtual environment can be useful to current global entrepreneurial eco-system, which is commonly using this kind of teamwork. Future Research: ‎This study included teams from two cultures: German and Israeli. Research must be expanded to different cultures and to groups compounded from more than two cultures. Moreover, the combination of virtual communication and face-to-face meetings in different milestones during the timeline of the teamwork must be further examined, especially in longer projects.
