Item Firm Performance and the Impact of Entrepreneurial Education and Entrepreneurial Competencies(Sumy State University, 2022) Kanaan-Jebna, J.M.A.; Alabdullah, T.T.Y.; Ahmed, E.R.; Ayyasamy, R.K.Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are considered to be the world’s largest. They play a vital role as they create jobs and improve the living conditions of their local communities as they contribute to the country’s GDP growth. Due to their contributions to the nation’s economy, they have been given much attention in entrepreneurship. This paper aims to study the impact of entrepreneurial education and entrepreneurial competencies on small and medium enterprises’ performance. Entrepreneurship is a vital component of any successful business strategy. It can be used to overcome the uncertainties of today’s business environment. The roles of these two independent factors in the business environment are also more relevant to small businesses. The goal of this paper is to develop a framework that explores the performance of firms from the perspective of their entrepreneurial education and entrepreneurial competencies. The proposed framework aims to provide a comprehensive view of the factors that influence the performance of businesses. It shows that entrepreneurial education is the antecedent of competencies that can affect firm performance, where entrepreneurial competencies is treated as a mediating variable. In addition, this study explores the role of entrepreneurial education and entrepreneurial competencies in developing financial and non-financial business performance. The framework is based on the resource-based view, a constantly applied approach to the small business context to utilize strengths and weaknesses to achieve sustainable competitive advantage. The paper provides valuable insights into the entrepreneurial factors that businesses can consider when enhancing their performance. It also helps entrepreneurs in developing their entrepreneurial education and competencies to increase their chances of achieving better results in their businesses which in return can help to reduce the number of business failures and thus, boost the country’s economy.Item Under COVID-19 Pandemic Impact: Do Internal Mechanisms Play Fundamental Role in Corporations’ Outcomes(Sumy State University, 2022) Alabdullah, T.T.Y.; Asmar, M.The new coronavirus (COVID-19) epidemic has had a significant impact on health care, the economy, transportation, and other areas in several businesses and locations worldwide. As a result of the quarantine policy, population mobility fell drastically, resulting in diminished people’s spending power and ultimately a stagnating economy. The same is true in The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, where the government has imposed a severe countrywide lockdown and a nocturnal curfew since the commencement of the COVID-19 epidemic. All travel to and from the country was halted as the borders were closed. In addition, many local and national preventative and control efforts have been undertaken to contain the spread of COVID-19 throughout the country. The present work aims at estimating the impact of internal mechanisms on corporations’ outcomes under the COVID-19 pandemic. The current work uses statistical analysis via SPSS, a Statistical Software, to test the hypotheses based on data collection of 100 corporations belonging to industrial and service corporations from the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan’s financial market for 2020. Regression analysis is used to test the hypotheses of the current work that are represented by board size, independent non-executive managers, and financial leverage of corporations, considering testing the control variable as well, representing the industrial type. Financial leverage is the dependent variable of the present study. The findings revealed that the greater number of independent non-executive managers, the big board size leads to a negative impact of financial leverage. The results showed that independent non-executive managers do not affect financial leverage. Furthermore, the findings admit that the industry type has no impact on financial leverage. The practical implication of the current work is helpful for different parties like academics and scholars in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan context. The present work adds contribution to the poor literature via introducing empirical evidence regarding the financial leverage as an indicator to the corporation’s outcomes – corporation performance and internal mechanisms relationship under the impact of COVID-19 pandemic.Item The Evolution of a Robust and Reliable Brand Experience Scale in the Malaysian Context: An Empirical Evidence(Sumy State University, 2021) AL-Fakhri, I.; Alabdullah, T.T.Y.The way consumers perceive, engage, and behave in today’s global marketplace is everything. Human connection is increasingly important in creating memorable experiences by offering the required interactions. As a response, marketers compete fiercely, and classic marketing ideas and tactics are no longer successful or enticing consumers. Marketers needed fresh ways to captivate customers; thus, experiential marketing was born.
