Purpose: One of the challenges of urban management is to provide an entrepreneurial environment for the general population, which can be realized by the development of the entrepreneurial city, which will ultimately cause economic sustainability. In order to create an entrepreneur city, it is necessary to create and develop some infrastructures, one of the most important of which is Internet of things (IoT)-based technological infrastructures, so that municipalities have a leading role. The purpose of this paper is to investigate this phenomenon. Design/methodology/approach: The research method is a case study type, and a triangulation mixed-method research design has been used for it. For data collection in the quantitative section, questionnaire tools and in the qualitative section, interview tools as well as coding related upstream documents in the municipality were used. Findings: The findings showed that with the development of the IoT infrastructure, the conditions will be provided for creating an entrepreneurial city and its formation process will be accelerated, so that it will eventually leading to economic sustainability. It was also found that the conditions for the development of urban entrepreneurship based on IoT in the metropolis in question are not favorable. Finally, suggestions were made to improve this situation. Originality/value: This study contributes to the entrepreneurship literature and economic sustainability by explaining a new concept of an entrepreneurial city and defines the role of IoT infrastructure in its development. Existing literature on the systematic use of IoT in applied fields is still scarce, and this study provides useful insights into it. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Purpose: This study aims to gain a better understanding of Shariah compliance and its implementation stages in online businesses. It begins with an overview of online business and government initiatives aimed at encouraging businesses in Malaysia as well as a review of Islamic approaches towards online business, known as Shariah compliance. Design/methodology/approach: This study employed a qualitative approach via library research to obtain relevant data from selected databases, other researchers, religious sources, books, reports, and electronic sources. Findings: There is a crucial need to understand Shariah compliance in online businesses to protect the interests of all parties involved, especially the buyers and sellers.

Additionally, the study discusses the ideal ways of conducting online business according to the Shariah principles, which is pertinent particularly for Muslim entrepreneurs.

How might migrant entrepreneurs may use liabilities of foreignness and outsidership as a marketing strategy? Migrant entrepreneurs are embedded in a strong sociocultural environment, which influences both their market orientation decisions and marketing strategies.

These entrepreneurs might choose between targeting their ethnic communities or attracting local customers from outside their ethnic enclaves, supplying either ethnic or general undifferentiated products and services. In this light, this article exploits these options to suggest actions that these entrepreneurs might use to design their marketing strategies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Purpose: The dynamics of modern life lead to societal changes that affect innovation systems. Entrepreneurship is an important driver for fostering adaptive capacities of innovation systems in such uncertain and complex environments. This study aims to gain a detailed understanding of how (innovative) entrepreneurship can promote innovation systems, leading to more sustainable societies. A particular focus is placed on migrant entrepreneurship in the digital economy, as a concrete implication of innovative entrepreneurship, and its role within the Austrian innovation system. Design/methodology/approach: In order to develop a shared system understanding from a scientific and practical perspective, transdisciplinary multistage system modeling was applied. The transdisciplinary discourse involved 14 experts, and several system models were iteratively co-created during the course of the research. Findings: The main result demonstrates the interrelationship between the innovation system and migrant entrepreneurship in the digital economy, which includes six core reinforcing loops: (1) the mindsets of entrepreneurs, (2) the role of international collaboration, (3) the role of entrepreneurial education, the financial sphere in regard to (4) government and (5) private funding, as well as (6) the impact of formal procedures. Originality/value: The authors present and discuss the relational dynamics of this complex phenomenon as well as the applied transdisciplinary approach, with the aim of identifying a potential way to improve the sustainable impact of (migrant) entrepreneurship considering the case of the Austrian innovation system.

A report from the London School of Economics discusses the different types of entrepreneurial entry, specifically focusing on the overlap between informal-formal and necessity-opportunity entrepreneurship. The researchers argue that informal and necessity entrepreneurship are often associated with low human and financial capital and productivity, while formal and opportunity entrepreneurship are seen as more beneficial for growth and development. However, the researchers propose a more complex typology that includes successful informal firms and identifies four categories of entrepreneurial entry. The study also explores the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on entrepreneurship in an emerging market economy. [Extracted from the article]

Encouraging entrepreneurship is an effective way to empower women. While most nations have policies empowering women, are these policies effective in encouraging female entrepreneurship? Additionally, is there a gap between policy enactment and enforcement that hinders entrepreneurship? In this short article, we start a conversation by examining cross-country differences in female entrepreneurship and relating them to existing social, educational, and workplace policies. Further, we suggest a novel measure of enforcement that effectively captures the divergence between stated policies and successful reduction of discriminatory practices on the ground, providing us a tool to isolate cheap talk from effective policy intervention.

A recent study conducted by researchers at the University of Nevada explores the relationship between health insurance costs and entrepreneurship. The study suggests that high health insurance premiums can act as a barrier to individuals transitioning from paid employment to entrepreneurship, a phenomenon known as entrepreneurship lock. The researchers used data from the Current Population Survey and county-level panel data on health insurance costs to estimate the effects of health insurance premiums on the entry rate into self-employment. The results indicate that a 1% increase in the premium of the benchmark health insurance plan decreases the entry rate into self-employment by 0.76%. The study concludes that reducing health insurance premiums could increase the annual entry rate into self-employment by about 9%. [Extracted from the article]
