La visión del emprendedor como un héroe solitario es común en la sociedad. Sin embargo, muchos negocios nuevos son creados por equipos. De hecho, los negocios emprendidos en equipo tienen mayores probabilidades de obtener beneficios, sobrevivir en el mercado y crecer rápidamente que los emprendidos en solitario. Pero para lograr un mejor resultado a la hora de emprender, no basta con decidir formar un equipo, sino que es necesario también decidir con quién asociarse. Además, siendo la familia un contexto en el cual buscar socios potenciales para formar equipos emprendedores, resulta clave tener en cuenta cómo influye la composición del equipo emprendedor en el caso de nuevos negocios familiares. Este artículo pretende responder a estas cuestiones a partir de lo que dicen la teoría y los datos con el fin de ofrecer orientaciones prácticas para quienes se encuentran iniciando nuevos negocios. En este sentido, hacer una selección cuidadosa del equipo es fundamental, teniendo en cuenta los equipos emprendedores familiares pueden tener algunas limitaciones que hay que considerar.

Altres ajuts: COLCIENCIAS (617/2013) ; ICREA Academia programme ; This study explores the influence of green entrepreneurial activity on sustainable devel-opment, using institutional economics as a theoretical framework. Also, the role of entrepreneurship policy is analysed in the context of Saudi Arabia. Using information from the General Authority for Statistics from 13 Saudi Arabian cities, the main findings show that green entrepreneurship posi-tively contributes to the economic, social, and environmental components of sustainable development during the period 2012-2017. These results demonstrate a measurable indication of sustainable development outcomes, whereby Saudi Arabian institutions align entrepreneurial activities with a positive triple bottom line effect. Accordingly, these findings contribute new evidence to justify government commitment to supporting green entrepreneurship in Saudi Arabia and encour-age future domestic policies.

Design/methodology/approach: The study integrates insights from institutional and cultural leadership theories to provide a fresh perspective to advance comparative entrepreneurship research. To test the hypotheses, the authors conduct a multiple regression analysis with observations from 34 countries, using data (from the year 2013) from the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor for the dependent variable and from Global Leadership and Organizational Behavior Effectiveness to create leadership factors as independent variables. Findings: The results show that all the types of leadership considered in the study have a relevant effect on entrepreneurial activity. However, charismatic leadership has a greater effect on entrepreneurial activity, particularly on opportunity entrepreneurship. The research also shows that autonomous leadership has a negative impact on entrepreneurial activity, although, when it is moderated by the humane dimension, this relationship changes. Practical implications: Since the alternative dimensions facilitate or inhibit the generation of new firm creation, it is critical for researchers, teachers and leaders to learn about and to ...

Some countries are failing to develop environmental initiatives, whereas others are transitioning and advancing toward this new trend. In particular, Saudi Arabia has initiated efforts toward becoming an ecologically-friendly society. Motivated by this, we explore whether cultural characteristics are associated with green entrepreneurship in Saudi Arabia. Institutional economics is adopted to frame our hypotheses and analysis. The hypothesized relationships were empirically tested in a sample of 84 observations from 21 cities during the period 2015-2018. Data were collected from reports by the Saudi General Authority and analyzed through regression models. The main results show that cultural characteristics, such as environmental actions, environmental consciousness, and temporal orientation, increase the level of green entrepreneurial activity across cities in Saudi Arabia. The findings of this study contribute to existing knowledge on green entrepreneurship, as well as to the discussion of implications for policy and practice related to environmentally-friendly productive activities.

Numerous studies have recognised that a gender gap exists not only in entrepreneurship but also in development outcomes, such as firm performance and poverty alleviation. Few, though, have considered the role of institutions in incentivising women and men in the generational improvement process, such as social mobility. Hence, does the institutional environment framing gender differences constrain or enable potential effects of female (compared with male) entrepreneurs on microeconomic outcomes such as social mobility? We investigate the institutional influence on the probability of becoming a female entrepreneur and the effect of this decision on social mobility in developing countries. We test gender comparisons through two-stage probit least squares (2SPLS), showing that post-materialism, autonomy, network membership, democracy, and respect for human rights have positive effects on both women's and men's self-employment jointly as well as female self-employment specifically. We also show that the decision to become an entrepreneur has a greater ...
