    This article provides a more comprehensive view of relational capital (RC) and how it affects knowledge sharing (KS) within family firms. Through the lens of an RC framework with four dimensions (agent, context, object, and relationship) and a relational perspective, we propose that the agent, context and relationship have an effect on the sharing of the object (knowledge). To operationalize the dimensions we used mutual trust and reciprocal commitment to represent the agent, norms and sanctions the context, and strength of ties the relationship. To empirically test the proposal, quantitative relational data at the dyadic level was collected from 27 agents including family members and non-family members in a manufacturing company located in Mexico. Data was analyzed using social network analysis through multiple regression quadratic assignment procedure (MRQAP). Findings suggest that RC is better represented by one individual dimension (mutual trust), one relational dimension (ties strength) and one contextual dimension (norms and sanctions) and they prove to have a significant effect on KS. This study contributes to the social capital and knowledge management literature by expanding, through a relational perspective, the understanding of the RC variables and their effects on KS within the context of family businesses in a Latin American emerging economy. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature.

    Entrepreneurial universities emphasize teaching, research, and community outreach, with entrepreneurial education playing a vital role in fostering an entrepreneurial culture and achieving social and economic impact. While entrepreneurial education is well-established in business programs, its integration into non-business disciplines, such as engineering, presents unique challenges, including aligning entrepreneurial content with technical curricula and measuring outcomes effectively. This study examines the impact of delivering Small Doses of Entrepreneurial Content (SDEC) on senior biotechnology students' key entrepreneurial competencies-decision-making, resilience, and opportunity recognition. The SDEC was integrated into a course through a “Learning Kit” comprising lectures, workshops, entrepreneurial talks, and project evaluations. Using a pre-and post-intervention design with validated scales and statistical analyses, the study revealed significant gains in specific decision-making and opportunity recognition skills, particularly among students with prior entrepreneurial exposure. This research contributes to the literature by addressing the challenges of designing entrepreneurial education in non-business disciplines and offering a scalable, transversal approach that complements technical curricula. The findings underscore the potential for embedding entrepreneurial education across diverse disciplines and provide a practical reference for educators seeking to implement such interventions effectively.

    Currently, the economic effect of entrepreneurship research has been highly associated with opportunity entrepreneurship, while necessity entrepreneurship has a lower effect. This manuscript revisits the relationship between poverty and entrepreneurial activity, mainly necessity-driven, analyzed by Amorós and Cristi (2011). We hypothesize that countries with a high pursuit of entrepreneurial activities reduce poverty, even if necessity-motivated entrepreneurship is developed. We test our hypothesis using Global Entrepreneurship Monitor data and the UN-UNDP, Human Development Index from 2010–2019. Our results reconfirm that total and necessity-motivated early-stage entrepreneurship both, have a positive effect on countries’ poverty reduction trends, especially in developing countries. We discuss the relevance of entrepreneurship activities on development beyond pure economic effects and highlight the importance of entrepreneurship in the pandemic situation caused by COVID-19, which is pushing more people into poverty situations.

    Mexican SMEs conscious leadership and conscious culture: the mediating effect of higher purpose

    Purpose This study examines the direct effect of conscious leadership on organizational culture in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and tests whether higher purpose mediates this relationship, thereby advancing understanding of the micro-to-meso translation processes within conscious capitalism. Design/methodology/approach A cross-sectional survey of 115 Mexican SMEs was conducted. Data from senior executives were analyzed using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS SEM). Mediation was tested via bootstrapping with 5,000 resamples, and robustness checks addressed common method bias and predictive validity. Findings Conscious leadership has a strong direct effect on conscious culture (β = 0.512, p < 0.001). Higher purpose partially mediates this relationship (indirect effect β = 0.198, p = 0.007), revealing complementary behavioral and sensegiving pathways that together explain 55.1% of the variance in conscious culture. Practical implications SME leaders can embed higher purpose through purpose-based decision checklists, purpose-linked KPIs and stakeholder scorecards tracking safety, decent work and customer trust. Leadership development should train owner-managers as meaning makers skilled in sensegiving. At the policy level, existing SME training programs and public financing schemes could incorporate purpose-articulation modules at low cost, embedding ethical reflection into established support mechanisms without significant additional burdens. Originality/value Despite growing attention to conscious leadership and purpose, empirical research on how leaders shape culture in SMEs remains scarce – particularly in emerging economies such as Mexico, where strong founder imprinting and weaker formal institutionalization make leadership influence especially salient and observable. By theorizing and empirically testing higher purpose as a sensegiving mechanism, this study moves conscious capitalism toward greater explanatory rigor, offering a dual-pathway framework for cultivating ethical cultures through leadership enactment and purposeful institutionalization.
