The influence of quantitative and qualitative population conditions needs to be jointly considered in the assessment of urban water demand. Through fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA), quantitative and qualitative conditions can be jointly analysed to obtain the patterns or recipes that explain the hypothesis tested. This work assesses the influence of water price, income level, ageing index, number of members in household, household antiquity and household surface on the urban water consumption from a district-level approach. The approach proposed is a novelty since it is focused on urban water demand and the related socioeconomic conditions in Valencia city. Results obtained show the influence of water price and members in household as main conditions that explain the water consumption of Valencia districts. This work highlights the relationship between the conditions analysed and water consumption, allowing the identification of the water consumption patterns in a developed urban area from a district-level approach.

After the UN’s adoption of 17 Sustainable Development Goals in 2015, it became clear that the relationship between sustainability and entrepreneurship was an area for re-examination. Traditional measures of entrepreneurial success rested largely on economic indicators; observatories like the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) extended them, including cultural and social indicators. There is now a real need to measure and analyze the relationship between sustainable entrepreneurship and eco-innovation and drive positive economic activity outcomes, sustainable development, and social welfare. For GEM’s consideration, this paper proposes a reimagined tool by which to measure sustainable entrepreneurship and eco-innovation in businesses and assess their level of alignment with UN SDGs. Specifically, it presents a new measurement method, incorporating, but simplifying, a complex range of variables, which can be crystallized into a set of items (questions) to determine businesses’ commitment to entrepreneurship sustainability—social, economic, and environmental. The results can be cross-referenced with other relevant variables, and indicators proposed by the UN, to determine what causal or explanatory relationships might or might not exist. The proposal represents a valuable extension to existing data gathering tools, and will be of use to researchers and practitioners in the field of entrepreneurship—especially as its sustainability credentials and environmental impact are in the spotlight.

The term ‘entrepreneurial eco-system’ (EES) currently belongs to the most popular ones in economic geography – and in the practice of start-up support policies in many countries, too. Due to its exclusively positive connotations the usage of this term creates unrealistic hopes among entrepreneurship support practitioners. Scholars may be reminded to previous supposed panaceas of regional economic policies like clusters, ‘creative class’ members or high-tech industries. As for these predecessors as well, the concept is “fuzzy” (Markusen 1999), the available empirics are “scanty” (ibid.) and its perception among policymakers is oversimplified, exclusively positive and partially naïve. To a degree, this is a consequence of an extremely unclear definition of what is meant by an EES. The undertheorization of the EES discourse, as observed by some scholars, is not due to a lack of conceptual approaches per se, but due to a lack of convincing, theoretically strong approaches. In fact, the majority of the EES publications is conceptual or even theoretical, usually without any serious empirical underpinning. From our perspective the latter has one important consequence: EES theory is weak because there is a lack of representative, comprehensive and sophisticated empirical studies, indicators and methods to measure EES. This paper provides a unique attempt to measure EES at the sub-national level of regions, that is, from our perspective, the most appropriate spatial level to identify and measure (and theorize) EES as the regional entrepreneurship literature provides striking evidence in favor of entrepreneurship as being primarily a regional (or local) event. Our paper contributes to the current EES debate by arguing that a robust empirical measurement of various EES at the sub-national level may help to improve the quality of EES theory. We propose to start with Erik Stam’s interpretation of an EES based upon ten “conditions” for whom we develop specific variables for application in concrete data collection exercises in different regions. We develop an overall EES index as well as subnational indices for each of the ten conditions. We also propose a method to care for the various weighting problems to be solved. Our attempt has been successfully pretested in Germany and Spain and has meanwhile entered a more ambitious pilot phase in 2018. One of this paper’s aims is to get feedback from scholars studying EES regarding our proposed method.

Most of the nations forming the Eurozone are hoping to boost entrepreneurship as one of the leading elements for job creation, innovation, and wealth to overcome the economic crisis. However, the quality of the entrepreneurial activity changes when qualified initiatives tend to impact on the economic development, while non-vocational-driven entrepreneurship has a null or little impact on the economy. This research analyzes the average quality of the Eurozone entrepreneurial activity driven by innovation before and after an economic crisis. The primary results of this chapter are (1) the quality of the entrepreneurial activity increases when there is a public-private collaboration to foster entrepreneurship, and (2) long-term unemployment generates necessity entrepreneurship and diminishes entrepreneurial quality.

The authors provide a broad view of the field of entrepreneurial ecosystem evaluation in a sample of Arabic countries, emphasising the importance of a country’s status to fostering good-quality entrepreneurial activity. After framing the issue and reviewing the most relevant academic literature, the authors discuss the existing relationship between the current entrepreneurial conditions in each country and the characteristics of their entrepreneurial activity. They also consider the status of the entrepreneurial ecosystem of each country and its potential impact on the creation of new business activities, identifying their strengths and weaknesses and reflecting in depth on the elements that would have to work to progress the modernisation of these ecosystems.

Rev.esc.adm.neg Como el mercado mundial está globalizado, las crisis se expanden rápidamente debido al uso masivo de las Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación (TICs), afectando también a los valores empresariales insertos en los procesos de creación de empresas. En este sentido, el marketing digital tiene un papel fundamental que jugar, al poder servir como una herramienta basada en la tecnología aplicada para fortalecer el emprendimiento naciente. Usando datos de los países latinoamericanos pertenecientes al proyecto GEM, y aplicando análisis clúster usando el método K-medias, el objetivo de este trabajo es comprobar si la actual Primera Crisis Global ha alterado los valores del emprendimiento en las empresas latinoamericanas. El principal resultado de este trabajo es que los rasgos de la actividad empresarial en los países GEM de América Latina se han desplazado progresivamente de la cantidad a la calidad, por lo que el marketing digital está teniendo una creciente importancia

A profound review of the literature on entrepreneurship reveals that it does not exist a specific information tool to measure the individuals’ readiness for entrepreneurship. The purpose of this research has been building such kind of instrument to estimate the individuals’ readiness for entrepreneurship. Its design takes in consideration the inclusion of the main variables identified by the literature as those most associated with entrepreneurial profiles. These variables have been grouped into three categories: sociological, psychological and managerial-entrepreneurial. Each group provides batteries of items which are evaluated thanks to a specific scoring system. The final objective is to provide a system to calculate individual scores of readiness for entrepreneurship and, at the same time, partial scores on concrete aspects of it. The information tool is presented at this paper and will be tested and refined in the near future

The spatial configuration of entrepreneurship in Spain is heterogeneous and quality entrepreneurship is generated in ‘creative’ regions characterized by high levels of human capital, internationalization, and exposure to enhanced managerial practices.
