The purpose of this article is to make an empirical assessment of the services offered by the incubation structures in Morocco. To do this, we will focus on the identification of the incubation actors and the services offered by these structures. Within this framework, two studies are envisaged: the first one aims at exploring entrepreneurial incubation as it is conceived and seen by its practitioners, and a confirmatory method that will focus on the perception of this practice on the part of "incubated or clients of incubators". The results are complementary and indicate a gap between the image of incubation and its reality. This has helped us to formulate recommendations to bring our judgment on this practice.

The concept of the creative economy has emerged recently, one of which is the emergence of small and medium industries (IKM) in urban kampong. The creative economy is the driving force for the nation's economy, so its existence needs to be managed and developed. The emergence of the IKM creative economy concept is inseparable from the cultural characteristics of rural communities, which have characteristics of "gotong royong" and "guyub". The community's cultural character triggers the emergence of creative economic areas in urban kampong corridors. This study aims to determine the sustainability of the creative economy area in urban kampong now and in the future by referring to the Penta helix concept. The method used is qualitative, namely conducting observations and interviews and exploring the research that has been carried out regarding the title and the actions needed for the sustainability of the current and future creative economy areas. The location used as a case study is an urban kampong settlement in the Paseban area of Central Jakarta. The results of this study indicate that the sustainability of the creative economy area in urban kampong settlements has not been fully implemented according to the penta helix model, nor has it been implemented sustainably. The researcher's suggestion that the community's creative economy area is always sustainable is that the Penta helix model must always be applied, and cooperation between the 5 elements must always be compact.

Chain financing is one of the essential pillars of the supply chain, which plays a critical role in facilitating and accelerating the financing of the working capital of the production company. This research aims to identify and prioritize the factors affecting the financing performance of the supply chain in food industry SMEs of Guilan province in Iran. At first, indicators were selected by browsing the library and academic sources, then releasing Likert Scale questionnaires between experts to find effective scales. Using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), the importance of 7 categories, such as the cultural index of human resources, infrastructure technical, macro policy, financial, legal, logistics, financial, and information technology, respectively, and a total of 38 sub-factors are prioritized. The results show that the development of accreditation and rating institutions in the discussion of chain financing; Development of chain financing tools and infrastructures in operationalizing it in the country's banking network; Creating electronic invoice infrastructure and store terminals; Emphasizing the regulatory role of the Central Bank and the development of supply chain management companies under the supervision of the industry are the most critical factors. Based on the identified factors, a hierarchical model of chain financing in SME food industries is proposed, with which businesses can formulate action plans for financing problems along their supply chain.

Micro, small, and medium enterprises, especially those based on a creative economy, contribute to productive employment because they do not require specific requirements such as gender, education level, and capital, which are not defined using simple and easy-to-understand techniques. The creative economy in October 2021 contributed 7.8% of GDP and in 2022 targets US$ 25.14 billion. Creative economy-based MSMEs are an embodiment of optimism and positive aspirations in supporting and realizing the vision of an advanced Indonesia. The aim of this research was to analyze the competitive advantages of the Perdanaria Jakarta Modern Night Market. This study uses a qualitative approach with in-depth observation. The data used in this study are primary data obtained through structured interviews with micros mall medium enterprises based on creative economy, the management and crew of the Perdanaria Jakarta Modern Night Market. Based on observations and interviews with the owner of the Perdanaria Jakarta Modern Night Market, it can be seen that creative economy-based MSMEs have implemented their activities with creative and innovative ideas in presenting their products and marketing to attract and arouse consumer tastes with various models (fashion), flavors and variants (culinary) and fine arts. The results of this study can be generalized to other creative economies.

The problems that arise are the lack of co-creation product development, low technology utilization, and organizational difficulties in adapting to market changes. From these problems, this study offers the role of dynamic capability (DC) to be adaptive during market changes by optimizing organizational resources in creating creativity. DC requires the role of virtual leadership (VL) and relational capital (RC) to encourage creative performance (CP). The evidence gap is another problem in the form of contradiction in the research results on the influence of VL on CP, which are still inconclusive. This research empirically tests the role of DC with VL and RC as antecedent variables that can be used as strategies for achieving CP. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling to obtain 180 respondents who are creative industry leaders in Central Java. This study uses the perspective of dynamic capability theory (DCT). The analysis tool is structural equation modeling (SEM), which is processed using AMOS software. The results of this study empirically prove that the role of DC can be fully mediated. This study provides practical contributions for managers to encourage organizational members to improve sensing, learning, integration, and reconfiguration capabilities in using virtual technologies and networked organizations.

This study examined economic sustainability in micro and small enterprises (MSEs) participating in the "One Town, One Product" (OTOP) program in Laguna Province. Using a descriptive correlation approach, the surveys gathered quantitative data from MSEs and Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) representatives. The aim of this study was to assess MSE economic performance, disparities between DTI and MSE views, challenge severity, and recommend improvements. Results showed that MSEs in OTOP Laguna achieved sustainability in financial performance, labor productivity, and product diversity. Disparities surfaced in areas such as human capital and goods quality. Challenges in product development were significant, whereas capacity building, standards compliance, market access, promotion, and finance were less concerning. An action plan was developed to boost financial performance, human capital, labor productivity, and community engagement, thus fostering a sustainable business environment for Laguna’s MSEs.

The increasing internationalization of companies has led us to reflect on the structuring of an emerging field of research, namely international entrepreneurial culture (IEC). Moreover, the absence of a solid theoretical framework is one of the main factors contributing to the scattered nature of research in this field, which has led us to conduct further research on international entrepreneurial culture. After presenting the definition and dimensions of IEC, this study aims to analyze and synthesize previous empirical findings on this phenomenon to understand its causes and influencing factors, behaviors, and processes in the global context in which it is embedded. Following this study in the Tunisian context, we found that Tunisian companies have no intention of embracing the phenomenon of international entrepreneurial culture. The absence of an organizational culture, whether among managers or members of the organization, has a major effect on the entrenchment of an international entrepreneurial culture. Thus, international trade is a real motivator for Tunisian companies to embark on internationalization. In this respect, we propose some avenues of research to consolidate and develop the field of international entrepreneurial culture.

Education plays a significant role in developing entrepreneurial mindset among undergraduate students. However, regarding the aspect of lower income economies, research has not fully paid attention to its exploration. Hence, this study aims to identify the role of entrepreneurial education in shaping entrepreneurial intention among undergraduates in Yemen, an underdeveloped economy. With the help of data collected from 247 students in two universities in Yemen, the results indicate a significant impact of entrepreneurial education on intention among business undergraduates. Further, the results indicate a partial mediation of entrepreneurial attitude and background in the relationship between entrepreneurial education and intention, and no mediating role is observed with entrepreneurial skills in the same relationship. This research adds to the scant literature relevant to underdeveloped economies and therefore could be a useful resource for policy makers to pay more attention to developing entrepreneurial programs focusing on talent and skill development in higher education, which can improve the harmonization between universities and the industrial sector and further entrepreneurship development.

The workplace environment is not spared by how consumerism culture (CC) influences the transformation of individual lifestyles and aspirations. This study investigated the impact of CC on the employees’ work effectiveness of the subject national government agency (NGA) in the Philippines. This descriptive-quantitative research used a structured questionnaire to cover the impact of CC on the four dimensions of work effectiveness: work attitude, individual well-being, environmental sustainability, and social connections of employees within the organization. The data were gathered from 109 employees of the subject NGA. The study found that among the dimensions of work effectiveness, only environmental sustainability appeared to be affected by CC. Moreover, the study conducted within the context of the subject NGA revealed that there is no statistically significant relationship between CC in terms of employees’ shopping frequency and their perceptions of product or service brand reputation, and the four key dimensions of work effectiveness. This finding indicates that CC, as represented by these variables, does not significantly impact the critical aspects of employees’ work effectiveness within the organization. This study can serve as baseline information for developing a comprehensive employee development program for enhancing work effectiveness and fostering a healthier workplace culture among the prevailing consumerism trends in society.
