From the vagaries of the economy, through to varying degrees of
social unrest, to the impact of adverse weather, businesses of all
forms and sizes across the globe must cope with ongoing change,
uncertainty, and risk. In this unpredictable environment, how can
SMEs react and control external factors? This edited collection
investigates the potential impact of long-term planning and
strategic awareness on the ability of SMEs to remain competitive in
a highly competitive world. The authors and editors demonstrate
that whether SMEs are able to identify and act upon externally
imposed forces and factors, or not, is the defining indicator of
their likelihood to struggle, survive, or even thrive. Outlining
the integral development opportunities or threats to existing
business activity inherent to the external environment, this book
offers a multidisciplinary insight, which brings together different
lenses to explore a range of cutting-edge themes from both research
and practitioner perspectives. The book also looks ahead, examining
the broad market reaction to external forces in order to predict
future implications. Given the significance of SMEs for the global
economy, the range of different views offered, including but not
limited to people management, entrepreneurship and education,
provide genuine insights for a diversity of audiences and readers.
Contemporary markets are increasingly complex and dynamic. Diverse
business contexts have become closer, and are increasingly
influenced by socio-economic and technological factors. Firms
nowadays build alliances even with competing players to ensure
entrepreneurial survival and growth. This publication aims to
investigate, compare, and contrast the theoretical and practical
elements of business concepts and models that are acclimated to the
dynamic changes of our modern era. Furthermore, it describes and
analyzes the current cooperative interactions among firms, and
evaluates the contribution of knowledge dynamics in coopetition.
Organizational performance is one of the major elements required in
contemporary markets, and the necessity to promote initiatives for
innovation in new technological investments creates the foundations
for growth, enabling businesses to explore opportunities in the
global context. This book aims to explore and utilize the existing
academic knowledge, and to contribute to the topic of coopetition
within and across firms for entrepreneurial growth. It is a
culmination of recent global circumstances and credible academic
theories, focusing on analyzing, evaluating and interpreting the
modern status-quo in the international business environment.
This book offers a unique view of how innovation and
competitiveness improve when organizations establish alliances with
partners who have strong capabilities and broad social capital,
allowing them to create value and growth as well as technological
knowledge and legitimacy through new knowledge resources.
Organizational intelligence integrates the technology variable into

create opportunities and challenges for sustainable enterprise
excellence. It also shows how the value of digital technology at
both personal and industrial levels leads to new opportunities for
creating experiences, processes, and organizational forms that
fundamentally reshape organizations.

Entrepreneurship is an essential driver for economic growth and
innovation. With the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) economies
implementing reforms to improve employment, growth,
diversification, governance structures, private sector development,
the ecosystem encouraging MENA's digital entrepreneurship potential
has been falling into place to unlock all its entrepreneurship
potential. Entrepreneurial Rise in the Middle East and North Africa
shares contributions from researchers and practitioners in a wide
variety of fields related to the relationships and
inter-dependencies between innovation, political regimes, and
economic and social development throughout the MENA region.
Chapters explore innovations across these varied sectors,
emphasising on the discovery of emerging patterns and catalysts to
these innovations and their impact on future research, practice,
and policy. The Quadruple Helix model describes this new economic
environment with examples throughout the MENA region on how
government, universities, companies, civil society/community
support innovation. Examining these unique start-up scenes,
Entrepreneurial Rise in the Middle East and North Africa: The
Influence of Quadruple Helix on Technological Innovation will be
beneficial for upcoming students, entrepreneurs, and researchers
interested in the concepts of the Quadruple Helix model of
