Risk is inevitable in business. For large companies, risk management is formalised and structured through compliance with industry standards. However, small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) rarely have adequate resources to develop their own standards or conform to pre-established criteria. This results in an increased vulnerability to risk, which tends to undermine SMEs’ sustainability. The primary reasons for the low adoption rate of risk management are related to the tremendous initial difficulty in orientating the business concerning risk and the significant investment of the workforce in developing and implementing a structured managerial process. The objective of this paper is to produce a guided process tool for small and medium-sized businesses with which they can identify, evaluate, and appropriately address risks from an SME perspective. Moreover, this intervention would offer enhancements at no cost beyond the time of its implementation. In order to identify what constitutes holistic risk management, document analysis was applied, which utilised risk management standards, academic articles, books, and regulatory policy and strategy documentation. The identified elements were integrated with a tool that improves business owners’ capacity to position themselves in context with their daily risk management challenges.

Grounded on the Knowledge Based View (KBV), this study examines the effects of a knowledge management enabler (Emotional Intelligence) on knowledge management processes (KMPs) in research universities. It investigates the direct effect of KMPs on creative performance. This study further examines the mediating role of Self-directed Learning in a relationship between KMPs and creative performance. This study used a sample frame of 248 academic and administrative personnel from Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in Pakistan. The relationships were tested through a partial least squares structural equation modelling method. The results reveal that Emotional Intelligence (EI) as an enabler has a positive and significant impact on KMPs. However, a direct relation between self-directed learning and creative performance is insignificant. Also, established associations were found to be positive and significant. This study’s findings validate the academic experience of EI and suggest how academics and administrators of HEIs can value KMPs and the self-directed learning that strengthens creative performance. With the increased importance of EI and KMPs in HEIs, there is a lack of studies investigating the relationship between EI, KMPs and creative performance. This study empirically examines the interface of EI, KMPs and creative performance in HEI’s and enriches the existing literature by exploring the mediating role of self-directed learning.

This study investigates the effects of national culture on financial sector development in emerging and developing economies. Prior literature on culture and finance has placed little focus on the multidimensionality of national culture and its potential implications for financial sector development. Therefore, this study contributes to the ongoing debate surrounding culture and finance by exploring broader cultural perspectives. The empirical findings show that national culture significantly explains cross-country differences in financial sector development. Various dimensions of national culture have a distinctive impact on financial sector development; for example, individualism and masculinity play boosting role, whereas uncertainty avoidance hampers it. The overall findings are reliable to a series of robustness checks and offer useful policy implications for governments, regulatory agencies, and other stakeholders.

Recently, the worsening state of the natural environment has caused researchers and practitioners to rethink the way in which this issue should be solved. It has been argued that the solution should not simply be one of regulation but rather of innovation. As such entrepreneurship, or more specifically ecopreneurship, has been identified as a possible avenue to bring about pro-environmental transformation within the business sector. To date however, research within the field of ecopreneurship is still lacking, especially within a developing country context, such as South Africa. In addition, most of the ecopreneurship data available do not report on gender differences. The purpose of this study was therefore to determine Generation Y students’ intentions towards becoming ecopreneurs within the context of South Africa, more specifically the Gauteng province, and to determine if any differences exist between male and female students. The study made use of primary data obtained through self-administered questionnaires that were distributed to 600 students across three (3) universities in South Africa. The variables used to determine student’s intentions to become ecopreneurs included environmental concern, environmental behaviour, perceived environmental knowledge, attitude towards ecopreneurship, perceived behavioural control, subjective norm and intention towards ecopreneurship. A combination of the judgement and convenience sampling techniques were used to identify the study sample. The statistical analysis used to analyse the collected data included, descriptive and reliability analysis and an independent sample t-test. The study found that students generally displayed positive intentions towards becoming ecopreneurs and that no significant difference was noted between male and female students regarding most of the previously mentioned variables. Female students did, however, record higher statistical means for environmental concern than male students.

It is indicated that 75% of small businesses fail within the first five (5) years of business operations. Small businesses can be blindsided by risks that management has failed to account for. However, risk management has the capacity to reduce business failure rates by relating good management practices across a business to risk events and aiding in the production of a consolidated response from the entire business. Still, small businesses are often hesitant in voluntarily complying with risk standards. Small businesses often fail to employ risk management because of the opportunity cost thereof in business or operational terms. Considering this, the aim of this article was to identify the factors affecting South African Small and Medium Enterprises (SME's) risk identification and management practices. In order to determine what relationship small businesses have with risk management the small businesses were surveyed in the Sedibeng District Municipal Area (SDMA). The survey determined which risks they could identify and how closely their actions to address those risks matched theoretical best practice. A quantitative approach was used and a structured questionnaire was employed to extract the required information. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA), reliability and descriptive analysis were the quantitative methods used to extract the knowledge presented. What was found is that small business owners were risk adverse and had limited awareness of the risks their businesses were exposed to. Experience drove both risk awareness and risk response in their businesses. Small businesses focus on business risk and operational risk but are not cognisant of many of the other risk types. Risk management was consequently lacking, and amounted to limited crisis management, and the processes that embody small business risk management factored into the three (3) steps of risk identification, risk treatment, and the revision of feedback from employees. The implication of the findings is that small businesses are especially vulnerable to risk events and require a means through which to address risk exposures in a way that is tailored to their limitations.

Equity markets play a pivotal role in the sustainability of developing countries, such as China. The literature on the detection of herding biases is confined to the aggregate level (firms, sector/industry and market). The present study adds to the behavioral finance literature by addressing the surprisingly unnoticed phenomena of the behavioral impact of herding bias on firm value (FV) at the firm level, using the sample of A-Shares listed firms at the Shanghai and Shenzhen Stock Exchanges (SSE and SZSE) under panel fixed effect specification. Initially, we detect the existence of investors and managers herding (IHR and MHR) biases at firm-level, and later, we examine their impact (distinct and interactive) upon the FV. The empirical results document the presence of IHR and MHR bias at market, sector and firm-level in both equity markets, which potentially drive the FV, while the impact is more pronounced during the extreme trading period. The findings are robust under different time intervals, and industry classification, therefore, offers useful policy implications to understand the behavioral dynamics of investors and managers.

Good urban governance is a multidimensional concept that focuses on the improvement of the quality of living conditions of local citizens, especially those of marginalised and disadvantaged communities. Cities face various adversities and challenges, such as unsustainable use of natural resources, lack of housing and infrastructure, the prevalence of poverty, rapid urbanisation, crime, disasters and effects of climate change. City resilience is an inclusive process that refers to a city’s ability to sustainably manage unexpected and expected risk-related events. In addition, it includes a city’s capacity to adapt to future challenges from a strategic and spatial perspective. This paper aims to analyze the nature of sustainable development in general. More specifically, it sets out to analyze the importance of urban governance in Africa and the interrelationship of good urban governance and city resilience. The purpose is to provide a theoretical underpinning and a practical orientation for the role that urban governance could play in sustainable development. The methodology is based on a document analysis by way of an intensive literature study. The qualitative description of the findings focused on the themes that emerged from the research and the manner in which they were conceptualised. It was established that while African countries have experienced certain successes, there have been many challenges as far as ‘good’ and ‘sustainable’ urban governance is concerned. Results indicated that the notion of ‘good urban governance’ is a prerequisite for African countries to design and execute sustainable development initiatives successfully.

South Africa has been faced with a long history of socio-economic challenges of which unemployment can probably be considered as one of the most daunting. Resulting from this problem, the South African government has placed much emphasis on small business and entrepreneurial development. When looking at entrepreneurship on a global scale, females have been lagging in the business domain and most of the entrepreneurship data available merely report on business development as a whole and do not distinguish between genders. In light of this, the purpose of this study was to determine the self-reported entrepreneurial skills, characteristics and intentions of a group of unemployed South African individuals and if any differences between males and females exist regarding the mentioned variables. The study made use of primary data obtained through self-administered questionnaires. A convenience sampling technique was used resulting in a final sample of 206 unemployed individuals from the Vaal-Triangle region in South Africa. Various statistical techniques were employed to analyse the data, these included: outlier statistics, internal-consistency reliability analysis, descriptive statistics, correlation analysis and an independent sample t-test. The unemployed individuals recorded statistically significant means indicating that they have entrepreneurial skills, display positive entrepreneurial characteristics and possess positive intentions towards becoming entrepreneurs. In addition, males were associated with a statistically larger mean for all constructs compared to females. The study showed that unemployed individuals have high intentions to start businesses, especially the male cohort.

Flourishing and thriving small, medium and micro enterprise (SMME) sectors have become one of the leading recognised cornerstones of economic development. The ability of these businesses to act as key drivers of economic growth, innovation and job creation make them valuable assets towards any nation’s strive for a more inclusive economic and social outlook. For South Africa in particular, burdened by an epidemic of unemployment, poverty and income inequality, SMMEs role in improving the socio-economic environment proves pivotal. Yet, despite their potential, these businesses face a myriad of challenges, emanating from both internal and external environments, that restricts their growth and development. The primary aim of this study is to identify and compare the main socio-economic challenges faced by SMMEs in two local areas within the Vaal Triangle region. The study made use of a quantitative research approach and a cross-sectional research design through means of the survey method. The sample consisted of a total of 198 SMME owners that resided in both the Emfuleni (ELM) (n = 100) and Midvaal (MLM) (n = 98) local municipal areas. Data analysis involved the use of descriptive statistics, cross tabulations and chi-square tests. Overall the results of the study revealed that amongst the biggest challenges faced by SMMEs included managerial as well as economic aspects such as a lack of skilled labour, insufficient business training and lacklustre local economic conditions. The comparative analysis further revealed more significant infrastructural challenges in the Emfuleni local municipal area while market challenges such as a lack of demand as well as higher transportation costs were experienced by SMMEs located in the Midvaal area. The findings of the study provide valuable insight towards fostering an enabling environment for SMME development, specifically on local levels. In this regard policy stakeholders should adopt a multi-sectoral SMME focus. Possible recommendations include enhanced macroeconomic stability, strong public-private partnership formation and the provision of strong business support structures that facilitate management skills development together with the provision of strategic finance facilities.

Entrepreneurship has been pointed out as a key contributor to sustained economic growth and development as it not only creates employment, but increased spending in markets, knowledge transfers, employment and innovation. However, very few studies exist that empirically measures the relationship between the three variables; economic growth, economic development and entrepreneurship. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to determine and highlight the importance of entrepreneurship as a contributing factor to economic growth and development. Traditionally, economic growth is measured by the gross domestic product (GDP) of a country. As no formal measurement of economic development exists, an index was created taking into consideration the Human Development Index (HDI), percentage population above the poverty line and employment rate. The entrepreneurship development variable is measured by the Total Early-Stage Entrepreneurial Activity (TEA). The study followed a quantitative research design and made use of secondary time series data with the sample period ranging from 2005 to 2016. The study area comprised five selected member states of the European Union (EU) which included Germany, the Netherlands, Hungary, Belgium and Poland. Findings suggest that economic growth, development and entrepreneurship seem to be inexplicably connected. As several other factors may also contribute to the fluctuations of economic growth and development results differed from one country to another. However, the analyses from the Dutch, Hungarian and Polish economies for the period under consideration reveal correspondingly healthy economic and social environments where entrepreneurial climates are flourishing. The analysis from Germany and Belgium, however reveal subdued entrepreneurial development. Based on these findings, it is recommended that the development of SME sectors especially in transition economies be centralised as important focus areas towards improving economic and social growth outlooks. In turn, policy stakeholders should ensure the creation of enabling environments structured around responsive micro and macro decision-making.
