    (Emerald Group Publishing Ltd, 2024) Kryeziu, Liridon; Kurutkan, Mehmet Nurullah; Krasniqi, Besnik A.; Ramadani, Veland; Hajrullahu, Vjose; Haziri, Artan
    PurposeThe dynamism of competition in international markets requires managers to react accordingly and ensure the firm's survival and competitiveness. This study examines the impact of cognitive styles and dynamic managerial capabilities (DMC) on a firm's international performance and the mediating role of these capabilities in the relationship between cognitive styles and international performance.Design/methodology/approachThis study adopts a quantitative cross-sectional research design, employing a sample of 306 firm owner-managers from exporting companies in Kosovo.FindingsThe findings suggest that managers' cognitive styles positively influence firm international performance, including their impact on DMC. Results also indicate that only managerial cognition mediates cognitive styles' effects on a firm's international performance, compared to managers' social capital.Originality/valueIn this study, the authors contribute to the literature by integrating cognitive styles with DMC in a transition country. Moreover, the authors demonstrate that DMC mediate the impact of cognitive styles on the firm international performance.

    COVID-19 AND SMEs IN KOSOVO: ASSESSING EFFECT AND POLICY PREFERENCES
    (World Scientific Publ Co Pte Ltd, 2021) Krasniqi, Besnik A.; Kryeziu, Liridon; Bagis, Mehmet; Kurutkan, Mehmet Nurullah; Idrizi, Sara
    The enforced lockdown and closure of businesses in response to the Covid-19 pandemic has resulted in economic crises across the globe, bringing the attention to entrepreneurship and its importance to economic recovery. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of the coronavirus pandemic on SME's and the entrepreneurs' policy preferences based on firm size and industry type. To achieve this, evidence from a Business Support Centre Kosovo's (BSCK) survey involving 236 SME owners interviewed online is reported. Findings from SME survey suggest the problems with cash flow and reduction of customer demand, among others, are major problems faced by SME's across all firm size groups and industry types. Findings from factor analysis clustered SME policy preferences into three groups: policy preferences related to financing and liquidity constraints, market related and tax preferences. This study discusses some policy and managerial implications urging the need for more nuanced and variegated understanding of the effect of coronavirus pandemic on SMEs.

    COVID-19 impact and firm reactions towards crisis: Evidence from a transition economy
    (Wyzsza Szkola Biznesu, Natl Louis Univ, 2022) Kryeziu, Liridon; Bağış, Mehmet; Kurutkan, Mehmet Nurullah; Krasniqi, Besnik A.; Haziri, Artan
    PURPOSE: The new situation arising from the COVID-19 pandemic has brought many difficulties for companies worldwide. To combat the pandemic, governments have enforced lockdown and closure of businesses, and in response, companies have developed various reactive strategies to ensure their survival. The purpose of this study is twofold: to examine the impact of COVID-19 on firms and examine firm reactions towards the COVID-19 crisis. The study analyses the impact of COVID-19 on firm size, ownership type, and industry characteristics. Secondly, to analyze firm reactions based on four components: technological preferences, strategic behavior, management practices, and social networks. METHODOLOGY: This study employs a quantitative method, using a survey of 320 firm owners and managers conducted in Kosovo by the Institute of Entrepreneurship and Small Business. FINDINGS: Findings suggest that income dropped significantly for SMEs based on the firm size. Based on industry characteristics, findings show that all industries have been influenced negatively. Regarding the ownership type, findings suggest that family firms are more affected by COVID-19 than non-family firms. Factor analysis suggests that the technological preferences, managerial practices and strategic behavior, and social networks effectively responded to the crisis derived from COVID-19. Findings also suggest that firms did not employ a single reaction (e.g., technological change) but combined several reactions where one reaction led to another reaction that proved effective and led to firm survival during the crisis. ORIGINALITY/VALUE: Despite growing theoretical and empirical literature about COVID-19 and firms, this study shows the impact and firm responses towards the crisis of COVID-19. Furthermore, focusing on the context of Kosovo, the study contributes to the challenges that firms face in different cultural and institutional settings.

    Dark triad personality, motivational dynamics and nascent entrepreneurs entrepreneurial intentions: cross-country comparison
    (Springer, 2024) Kryeziu, Liridon; Bagis, Mehmet; Kurutkan, Mehmet Nurullah; Ates, Cagdas
    This research explores the relationships between the dark triad, motivational dynamics, and entrepreneurial intentions, as well as the moderating effect of the country on these relationships. Using a cross-sectional design, the study utilizes a sample of 701 new entrepreneurs from Turkey (n = 368) and Kosovo (n = 333). The findings indicate that narcissism positively influences entrepreneurial intentions. Additionally, psychopathy and Machiavellianism negatively impact motivational dynamics, while narcissism has a positive effect. Furthermore, the positive effects of motivational dynamics on entrepreneurial intentions have been confirmed. Mediation analysis reveals that individual motivations partially mediate the relationship between the dark triad and entrepreneurial intentions. Finally, the research results show that the country plays a moderating role in the relationships between narcissism and entrepreneurial intentions, personal attitudes and entrepreneurial intentions, psychopathy, and perceived behavioral control, and the need for achievement and narcissism with personal attitudes. Our study provides theoretical contributions as well as policy and managerial implications in the emerging field of entrepreneurship.

    The effect of entrepreneurship education on nascent entrepreneurs' entrepreneurial intentions: The mediating effect of individual motivations
    (Ios Press, 2023) Kryeziu, Liridon; Bagis, Mehmet; Kurutkan, Mehmet Nurullah; Haziri, Artan; Krasniqi, Besnik A.; Harris, Linda Ukimeraj
    BACKGROUND: This study examines the effect of entrepreneurship education on entrepreneurial intentions and individual motivations and the mediation of individual motivations in the relationship between entrepreneurship education and entrepreneurial intentions. METHODS: We tested 374 questionnaire samples using quantitative research methods. We used PLS-SEM and mediation analyses to analyze the data. RESULTS/CONCLUSIONS: First, the findings show that entrepreneurship education positively affects individual motivations of entrepreneurial intentions, personal attitude, subjective norm, perceived behavioral control, and need for achievement. Second, subjective norms and the need for achievement did not impact entrepreneurial intentions compared to personal attitudes and perceived behavior. Finally, we found that while personal attitudes and perceived behavioral control mediated the relationship between entrepreneurship education and entrepreneurial intentions, subjective norms and the need for achievement had no effect. The study contributes to the literature and provides policy and managerial implications for macro and micro factors affecting entrepreneurial intentions in transition economies.

    Topics, trends and theories in family business research: 1996-2020
    (Springer, 2023) Bagis, Mehmet; Kryeziu, Liridon; Kurutkan, Mehmet Nurullah; Krasniqi, Besnik A.; Yazici, Omer; Memili, Esra
    The existing body of literature on family business studies has expanded considerably. However, despite numerous literature reviews in past research, certain aspects, such as the evolving conceptual patterns in the field and the theories that guide it, remain unexplored. This article aims to uncover the conceptual patterns and theoretical foundations shaping the field, highlighting influential sources, institutions, countries, and authors within the realm of family businesses. The research utilizes bibliometric analyses and qualitative content analysis. Our findings determined that family business research produced its first theoretical studies between 1996 and 2004 (the first period), focusing on management, altruism, and agency issues during this period. During this period, agency theory dominated the field. In the period 2005-2013 (second period), we identified the following as emerging concepts in the field: diversification, entrepreneurship, family capital, family values, family involvement, relationship conflict, stewardship, succession, commitment, and psychological ownership. The dominant theories during this period were agency theory, resource-based theory, management theory, and institutional theory. In the third period, the prominent topics are the following: dynamic capabilities, stewardship, familiness, family dynamics, non-family employees, top management team, governance, trust, sustainability, corporate social responsibility, family management, family ownership, social capital, internationalization, corporate entrepreneurship, entrepreneurial orientation, family influence, knowledge sharing, board of directors, succession planning, succession process, emotions, gender, family control, and heterogeneity. In this period, in addition to the theories in the previous period, Socio-Emotional Wealth theory, social identity theory, social capital theory, stakeholder theory, and upper echelon theory are dominant in the field. The article concludes with recommendations for future research directions.

    Women entrepreneurship in family business: dominant topics and future research trends
    (Emerald Group Publishing Ltd, 2022) Bağış, Mehmet; Kryeziu, Liridon; Kurutkan, Mehmet Nurullah; Ramadani, Veland
    Purpose This article examines the dominant research topics that guide the literature on women's entrepreneurship in family businesses. Design/methodology/approach The authors used performance and scientific network mapping analyses from bibliometric techniques. Performance analysis was used to identify the most influential journals, authors, countries, co-citation, multidimensional scaling (MDS), hierarchical cluster (HCA) and document analysis to identify dominant research themes. Findings The research results show that studies on women's entrepreneurship in family businesses are gathered in three clusters. The studies in the first cluster focused on family succession and women's roles. The themes of the succession process, gender bias, leadership and entrepreneurship in the second cluster are intense. Finally, in the third cluster, the themes of women leaders and identity construction dominate. Research limitations/implications First, new conceptualizations of female entrepreneurship from family businesses emerge over time (example: fementerpreneur); accepting and using these words takes time. For this reason, the authors may have missed the newly emerged concepts in the field of family businesses in the search strategy. Second, although MDS results are widely used in bibliometric research, other forms of MDS analysis may reveal different groups and clusters. Finally, bibliometric analysis is based more on retrospective and dominant themes in the most cited articles, with a heavy emphasis on the most cited papers. Hence, new articles and contributions can be equally important. Originality/value Previous studies have not examined the subject of women's entrepreneurship in family businesses. By addressing this issue and setting the agenda for future research, the authors contribute to the literature on women's entrepreneurship in family businesses.

    Youth entrepreneurial intentions: a cross-cultural comparison
    (Emerald Group Publishing Ltd, 2022) Bağış, Mehmet; Kryeziu, Liridon; Kurutkan, Mehmet Nurullah; Krasniqi, Besnik A.; Hernik, Joanna; Karaguzel, Ensar Selman; Karaca, Volkan
    Purpose This paper aims to determine the antecedents that affect higher education students' entrepreneurial intention and awareness in two developing economies (Turkey and Poland) and one transition economy (Kosovo). Design/methodology/approach This study uses a quantitative research approach based on a sample of 342 questionnaires. Using SPSS 23, AMOS and Process Hayes, this study tests research hypotheses using explanatory and confirmatory factor analysis, correlation analysis, regression analysis and mediation analysis. Findings The findings show that personal attitudes (PA), perceived behavioural control (PBC) and need for achievement (NFA) variables affect students' entrepreneurial intentions and alertness (EIA) in Turkey, Poland, and Kosovo. PA and PBC mediate the impact of NFA on EIA. In addition, analyses show that the country variable does not have a moderator effect on EIA, PA, NFA and PBC variables. The findings reveal that students' perceptions of EIA differ by country. Research limitations/implications The sample comes from a university in three countries; therefore, these results cannot be generalised to the entire population. In addition, the study was carried out with a cross-sectional study urging the need for a longitudinal analysis of the data, which may provide better results. Practical implications Results can benefit policymakers and higher education administrators for resource planning, organising educational curricula and strategic policy plans for building the entrepreneurial ecosystem. Originality/value The originality of this article is that it presents a model to reveal the effect of PA, PBC and NFA variables on EIA in three different countries.
