This article investigates the influence of information and communication technology (ICT) on business transformation. First,
the general, ICT-driven development lines of globalization and service-orientation are described. Then, an analysis of the
IBM Corporation’s transformation over the past 50 years into a globally integrated, service-oriented company illustrates that
ICT innovations must be dealt with by simultaneous adaptation of business model, organization and corporate culture. For many
companies the ability to manage this change becomes increasingly critical.

In this paper, we explore the impact of individualism and collectivism on three basic aspects of ethical decision making –
the perception of moral problems, moral reasoning, and behavior. We argue that the inclusion of business practices within
the moral domain by the individual depends partly upon individualism and collectivism. We also propose a pluralistic approach
to post-conventional moral judgment that includes developmental paths appropriate for individualist and collectivist cultures.
Finally, we argue that the link between moral judgment and behavior is related to individualism and collectivism.

As global trends regarding increased mergers and acquisitions continue, small local retailers must learn how to fend off these
strong attackers. We assess key services strategies when small-local retailers compete against large-national retailers in
industrialized (USA) and developing world (black South African township) retail settings. Of key interest is how theories
generated from industrialized world research apply in developing world settings. We found that small retailers fend off large
national retailers using virtually identical strategies regardless of the level of economic development.

Entrepreneurship and competitiveness dynamics in Latin America 总被引:1,自引:5,他引:1
This study analyses the relationship between entrepreneurial dynamics and the level of competitiveness in Latin American countries.
Based on a stage of economic development model, we demonstrate that Latin American countries under the model followed different
paths related to competitiveness. These different paths can explain the effect of specific competitiveness conditions on entrepreneurial
dynamics in Latin America.

Entrepreneurship,economic development and institutions 总被引:2,自引:2,他引:2
This paper is an introduction to the special issue from the 3rd Global Entrepreneurship Monitor Research Conference held in
Washington, D.C., in 2008. The paper has three objectives. First, to discuss the importance of the three stages of economic
development, the factor-driven stage, the efficiency-driven stage and the innovation-driven stage. Second, to examine the empirical evidence on the relationship between stages of economic development and entrepreneurship.
Third, to present a summary of the papers in the context of the theory.

The authors review the foundation for incorporating market concentration directly into consumer utility functions, and develop
a general equilibrium model to derive welfare-maximizing principles for optimal enforcement of antitrust policies toward concentrated
market structures, including merger policy. An intriguing result is that increased market concentration can fail to maximize
economic welfare even if a proposed merger might generate positive net efficiencies.

As a phenomenon of modified value-chain structures the economic importance of business-to-business markets has been growing
immensely during the past decades. This paper delivers a quantified overview of the market dimensions in terms of transactional
volume. In addition, it explains the causes for this market development such as an increased service orientation in business
transactions, higher degrees of customization, and influential factors on a macro level. In this context, future trends in
this sector will be outlined as well.

There is growing recognition among post-socialist (PS) economies that free-market entrepreneurship is essential for ultimately
improving their economic future. The promotion of market entrepreneurship, however, has been a challenging experience for
these economies. This paper examines various forms of entrepreneurship in PS economies. Drawing upon the institutional theory,
we also highlight the clear contexts and attendant mechanisms associated with institutions–entrepreneurship nexus in PS economies’
contexts.

As consumer use of information and communication technology (ICT) products grows, the importance of ICT standards in consumer
markets also grows. While standards for manufactured products were once developed at the national level in formal standards
bodies, standards for ICT products today are more likely to be developed by informal standards bodies that target global markets,
creating new challenges for national consumer protection laws. As part of the process of creating a single market, the EU
developed an innovative and successful form of “coregulation” known as the “New Approach” that coordinated the work of legislators
and standards developers to reduce technical barriers to trade in the internal market. In order to protect consumer interests
in markets for ICT products effectively, another “New Approach” is needed to coordinate the work of global ICT standard-developing
organizations with the goals of national and regional consumer protection laws, but the institutional challenges facing such
a strategy are daunting. The French DADVSI legislation represents progress in this direction; further progress may be possible
by adopting “better regulation” strategies.

Using local market employment rates as our measure of economic performance, we find a positive and significant correlation
between the average annual level of employment in a local market and the level of SBA guaranteed lending in that local market.
Furthermore, the intensity of this correlation is much larger in low-income markets. Indeed, our results suggest that this
correlation is positive and significant only in low-income markets. This result has important implications for public policy in general and SBA guaranteed lending in particular.

The knowledge spillover theory of entrepreneurship 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8
Zoltan J. Acs Pontus Braunerhjelm David B. Audretsch Bo Carlsson 《Small Business Economics》2009,32(1):15-30
Contemporary theories of entrepreneurship generally focus on the recognition of opportunities and the decision to exploit
them. Although the entrepreneurship literature treats opportunities as exogenous, the prevailing theory of economic growth
suggests they are endogenous. This paper advances the microeconomic foundations of endogenous growth theory by developing
a knowledge spillover theory of entrepreneurship. Knowledge created endogenously results in knowledge spillovers, which allow
entrepreneurs to identify and exploit opportunities.

There is an ongoing debate in the literature on the development of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in less developed countries
(LDCs) on two issues: the survival of SMEs in the course of economic development and the importance of government promotion
programs for SME development. This research paper aims to examine those issues empirically with Indonesian data. For this
purpose, it develops and tests a set of hypotheses. It shows that both real gross domestic product per capita and government
development expenditure (especially that used to finance SME development promotion programs) have positive impacts on SME
growth. With this finding, the research argues that SMEs in LDCs can survive, and even grow in the long-run, for three main
reasons: (a) they create a niche market for themselves, (b) they act as a “last resort” for the poor, and (c) they will grow
along with large enterprises (LEs) because of their increasingly important production linkages with LEs in the form of subcontracting.

The research reported in this article develops a model for assessing the cost of banking services faced by small businesses.
The lack of price competition in the provision of small business banking services combined with limited transparency concerning
actual fee levels prevents small businesses from readily estimating likely fee levels. Prior research and government reports
note the difficulties faced by small business in relation to banking services and this research contributes to an understanding
of the potential dead weight losses incurred resulting from poor signalling and information asymmetry and potentially a deficient
public policy framework.

The number of non-farm proprietorships in the US has expanded significantly in past decades, but this expansion has not occurred
evenly over space. Regression analysis correcting for spatial autocorrelation reveals that proprietors respond rationally
to economic incentives. Parameter estimates for variables measuring collateral, age, ethnic mix, government policy, female
labor force participation, and natural amenities, each have the expected signs. A few options are available to policymakers
for influencing growth in self-employment densities over time.

This paper gives an overview of the empirical research on the effects of new business formation on regional development and
introduces the contributions to this special issue. The effects of new businesses on regional development emerge over a longer
time-period of up to ten years. A main focus of the contributions to this special issue is on the distribution of these effects
over time and on the magnitude of the overall effect. While the basic pattern found for the different countries and regions
is quite similar, the magnitude of the overall effect can be different and may even be negative. There are strong indications,
that the type of entrants plays an important role in this respect.

A model of the effect of affect on economic decision making 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The standard economic model of decision making assumes a decision maker’s current emotional state has no impact on his or her decisions. Yet there is a large psychological literature that shows that current
emotional state, in particular mild positive affect, has a significant effect on decision making, problem solving, and behavior. This paper offers a way to incorporate this
insight from psychology into economic modelling. Moreover, this paper shows that this simple insight can parsimoniously explain
a wide variety of behaviors.

The “Internet,” as a global self-regulated and interconnected network of institutions driven by educational and subsequently
commercial priorities, has evolved into an element within a broader “global information society.” Industry, treated benevolently
by market-led governments, has created co- or self-regulatory institutions or compacts, but as consumers have eagerly embraced
the broadband Internet the scheme of governance must embrace respect for the social and economic rights and responsibilities
of consumers at national, European and global levels. This paper shows how existing divisions between public-sector, private-sector,
and civil-society institutions and responsibilities have rapidly become eroded and it portrays the emerging agenda for “multistakeholder
governance.” The involvement of the consumer on a more legitimised and consensual level than is permitted under industry-led
regulation is as yet a novel approach, but this paper draws on case studies which demonstrate the salience of these issues
to consumers as citizens, and it concludes by preparing an agenda for Information and Communications Technology (ICT) companies
to adopt more sophisticated patterns of participatory co- and self-regulation.

The effect of new business formation on regional development over time: the case of Germany 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
We investigate the effects of new business formation on employment change in German regions. A special focus is on the lag-structure
of this effect and on differences between regions. The different phases of the effects of new business formation on regional
development are relatively pronounced in agglomerations as well as in regions with a high-level of labor productivity. In
low-productivity regions, the overall employment effect of new business formation activity might be negative. The interregional
differences indicate that regional factors play an important role.
