Item Embargo Exploring knowledge dynamics and change management in diverse corporate entrepreneurship ecosystems(Springer, 2024-04-03) Liu, Jixun; Zhu, Xiaoxian; Xu, ZimuThis study investigates change management in the context of corporate entrepreneurship (CE) and presents an innovative conceptual model to improve commitment to change. Utilizing Lewin’s model and Bandura’s social learning theory, the research identifies six essential success factors (CSFs) that are vital for achieving effective change management in CE initiatives. Using a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods, this study examines the relationship between the preparedness of organizations, facilitating factors, and the level of commitment individuals have toward change in 38 entrepreneurial corporations in China. The study suggests a new conceptual framework called the people-centered implementation (PCI) model as a strategy for implementing CE change. This model prioritizes the establishment of synergy between the efforts of an organization and its individuals, resulting in increased commitment and successful execution of entrepreneurial projects. The PCI model provides valuable knowledge for practitioners managing change within CE initiatives and contributing to broader economic transition and institutional changes. The uniqueness of this study is its concentration on change management challenges specific to CE and its creation of a pragmatic model to tackle these challenges, ultimately leading to enhanced project success and wider economic influence.Item Embargo Returnee entrepreneurship in China: the multi-faced story in the travel of location, time and culture(Springer, 2022-09-09) Xu, ZimuWith experience, knowledge and skills accumulated in both home and host countries, returnee entrepreneurs have been recognised as the international knowledge brokers and make significant contributions to the countries’ social-economic development. Particularly, China has emerged as an important context for its high number of global mobility of citizens, the rapid development of the economy, various policies initiatives designed to attract returnees, and the national effort in high-tech industries (Gruenhagen et al., Foundations and Trends in Entrepreneurship 16:310–392, 2020). With China’s rapid economic growth and accelerated global integration, there is a shifting perspective and reality of entrepreneurs returning from overseas. They face various challenges rising from their physical travel of locations, experiencing and adjusting to multi-cultures, as well as changes brought by time moving forward. This chapter discusses the changing nature and current challenges and opportunities.
