Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The global economy has always influenced the trends and choices of entrepreneurship. Simultaneously, entrepreneurship is also an important driving force behind rapid economic development. However, in the face of the "dual transformation" of the economic system and the increasingly complex business environment, entrepreneurs face new challenges in an ever-changing environment, and the question of how enterprises can generate and enhance entrepreneurial capabilities to achieve sustainable success is of great significance. We are pleased to invite you to conduct an in-depth study of the area. This Special Issue is dedicated to the study of sustainable entrepreneurship during economic uncertainty. We focus on how entrepreneurs can overcome the risks posed by changes in the economic environment and achieve high-quality sustainable entrepreneurship. As a journal that provides academic consultation and industrial guidance, we are interested in academic research into entrepreneurship in macro and micro aspects, especially research results and development directions in technical economics and management that integrate sustainable development, global economic integration, and technology, economics and management.

In this Special Issue, we welcome both original research articles and reviews. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following areas:

  • entrepreneurial management of the circular economy;
  • sustainable entrepreneurship and regional development;
  • risk management of enterprises in an uncertain economy and so on.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

Sustainable management in high-tech enterprises is a key aspect of successfully operating modern companies, especially under conditions of risk and uncertainty. This study reviews the field of sustainable management and interval analysis and identifies the main trends and challenges facing high-tech enterprises in the modern world. This study emphasizes the importance of applying interval analysis in making strategic decisions and developing sustainable business models that can adapt to variable environments. This paper presents empirical data, illustrating the practical application of interval analysis tools in the management in high-tech enterprises. It analyzes the effectiveness and potential of this approach to increase the levels of sustainability and competitiveness of organizations in constantly changing business environments. In general, this article is a valuable contribution to the development of sustainable management theory and practice for high-tech enterprises, enriching the existing knowledge in this area and offering new perspectives for research and practical application. Our research has been validated and is presented in the results section. The purpose of this study is to present current developments in methodologies and tools for risk measurement within the probabilistic paradigm of uncertainty, which are supposed to be used in relation to the economic evaluation of real investment projects. The methodological directions or approaches to risk measurement formed in this context are (1) based on quantile measures, within which the quantitative aspect of risk is modeled using quantile quantiles of the distribution of a random variable describing the possible (predicted) results of economic activity; (2) the Monte Carlo method, which is a tool for evaluating the indicators of economic efficiency and risk in justifying real investments, taking into account different distribution laws and mutual relations for the financial and economic parameters of the investment project, as well as its computational and instrumental elaboration.

Affected by economic uncertainty, the success rate of sustainable entrepreneurship is not optimistic at present. Effectively improving the success rate of sustainable entrepreneurship is of great significance for ensuring and maintaining sustainable development for long-term socioeconomic and environmental sustainability. Based on social network theory, entrepreneurial capital theory, psychological capital theory, and the literature on sustainable entrepreneurship, this study explores the influence mechanism of online social network relationships on sustainable entrepreneurial success from the perspective of those relationships, dividing entrepreneurs’ abilities into an online relationship-building ability and online relationship coordination ability. We used an empirical study with 346 valid questionnaires. The results of a PLS-SEM analysis show that online social network relationships have a significant impact on sustainable entrepreneurial capital, in which online relationship-building capacity has a similar impact on both sustainable entrepreneurial resource integration and acquisition; online relationship-building capacity can positively affect both transactional and interpersonal psychological capital; sustainable entrepreneurial resource integration can be more effective than resource acquisition in promoting sustainable entrepreneurial success through the use of social media; and transactional psychological capital has a more significant impact on sustainable entrepreneurial success than does interpersonal psychological capital. This study provides new insights into how entrepreneurs can fully utilize their online social network relationships to achieve entrepreneurial success. Full article
