    COVID-19 and the global value chain: Immediate dynamics and long-term restructuring in the garment industry
    (Elsevier, 2022-02) Mostafiz, M. I.; Musteen, M.; Saiyed, Abrarali Mohammadusmanali; Ahsan, M.; Entrepreneurship; SAIYED, Abraralı Mohammadusmanalı
    Advancing the literature on global value chains (GVCs), this study investigates the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on immediate dynamics and long-term changes shaping the evolution of the garment GVC. We use a partially grounded, longitudinal approach to analyze data on seven cases of Bangladeshi garment manufacturers, supplemented by archival data on the garment industry. Based on our analysis, we theorize that the COVID-19 crisis has led to three types of dynamics (temporal, structural, and spatial) that contribute to GVC restructuring. Consistent with the paradox approach, we document two counter-tensions that influence the GVC in the long term: the push to disintegrate (i.e., permanently restructure) and the pull to integrate (i.e., preserve or strengthen the existing structural routines). We conceptualize the ultimate structure of the GVC as the alignment of a new balance of power and new capabilities of the GVC actors. Implications for theory, practice, and policy are discussed.

    From grassroots to international markets: A qualitative study of marginalized entrepreneurs in India
    (Elsevier, 2023-10) Saiyed, Abrarali Mohammadusmanali; Wierenga, M.; Fernhaber, S. A.; Nummela, N.; Entrepreneurship; SAIYED, Abraralı Mohammadusmanalı
    Much of the growing literature on international entrepreneurship focuses on how positive circumstances, such as having prior international experience, business networks, or formal institutions lead to international entrepreneurial action and overlooks the role more challenging circumstances might play. In this study, we extend and refine challenge-based entrepreneurship theory to explore what influences international entrepreneurial action undertaken by marginalized entrepreneurs in an emerging economy. Despite widening economic and social disparities in emerging economies, little is known about entrepreneurs who have traditionally been “left behind.” Our findings suggest that these marginalized entrepreneurs have not only a set of liabilities but also advantages, including creative problem solving and perseverance, as well as local knowledge and networks. To spur the first-person international opportunity belief associated with international entrepreneurial action, an intermediary with resources and networks is needed to offset the liabilities. These intermediaries act as gatekeepers, helping some marginalized entrepreneurs but holding back others.

    Start-up information search practices: the case of Turkey
    (Routledge Taylor & Francis, 2013) Fiş, Ahmet Murat; Çetindamar, D.; Entrepreneurship; FİŞ, Ahmet Murat
    Information search may be especially crucial in an emerging economy context where gaps in knowledge are magnified due to the limited availability, accessibility, and quality of sources. Under the framework of social embeddedness, we observe the role of previous entrepreneurial experience in information search conducted during start-up. The impact of information search on future growth is also explored. Based on an empirical study of 172 Turkish entrepreneurs, the results indicate that (1) first-time entrepreneurs search more intensely, (2) first-time entrepreneurs utilize a greater number of formal resources, and (3) the intensity of information search is positively related with future growth.

    Unlocking the relationship between corporate entrepreneurship and firm performance
    (De Gruyter Open Ltd, 2021-01) Fiş, Ahmet Murat; Çetindamar, D.; Entrepreneurship; FİŞ, Ahmet Murat
    This paper explores the relationship between corporate entrepreneurship and performance by developing a comprehensive theoretical model based on Schumpeterian understanding of entrepreneurship supported with the Theory of Planned Behavior from social psychology. The model shows how organizational culture (value) triggers a chain effect through its influence on entrepreneurial orientation (attitude) and managerial support (intentions) that ultimately generate impact on corporate entrepreneurship (behavior). We test our model in an emerging economy context and present our results with implications to theory and practice.
