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]

The article emphasizes the need for governments to carefully consider the effects of their policies on entrepreneurship. [Extracted from the article]

The Covid-19 pandemic has led to a surge in entrepreneurship in the United States, with Americans starting businesses at record rates. This boom has been surprisingly durable, with new business applications continuing to increase even three and a half years after the pandemic began. Startups are important for job growth and productivity, and the increase in entrepreneurship is seen as a positive sign for the economy. The pandemic, along with changing consumer habits and enabling conditions such as financial support and technology, has contributed to this surge in entrepreneurship. It remains to be seen whether this trend will continue and have a lasting impact on the economy. Policymakers should support and nurture this entrepreneurial boom to maximize its potential.

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. We draw from a marketing perspective to discuss how to generate successful strategies as a migrant entrepreneur. 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]

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]

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]

A study conducted by researchers at Anhui University of Finance and Economics in China examined the impact of the Integrated Medical Insurance System (IMIS) on the return-to-hometown entrepreneurship among migrant workers. The study found that the IMIS significantly increased the likelihood of migrant workers returning to their hometowns for entrepreneurship by 0.44%. This effect was more pronounced for male workers with lower educational levels, higher income, larger social networks, and lower risk preferences. The study also suggested that the combination of the IMIS and the Mass Entrepreneurship and Innovation policy (MEI) could further promote the return of migrant workers to their hometowns for entrepreneurial activities.
