Is Team Entrepreneurial Orientation important in generating creative business ideas? The moderating role of team-perceived heterogeneity and the individual creative mindset
Tkacz, Monika; Agirre Aranburu, Izaskun; Lizartza-Martín, Aitor
PURPOSE: The study aims to unveil if Team Entrepreneurial Orientation (TEO) facilitates identification of creative market opportunities understood as novelty and quality business ideas. Entrepreneurial Orientation (EO) has rarely been measured at a team level and few studies have attempted to examine the relationship between EO and actual creative outcomes. The proposed research model searches for new patterns that can foster creativity of entrepreneurial teams. In addition, the research adds the moderating effect of perceived team heterogeneity and individual creative mindset (Growth-Creative and Fixed-Creative Mindsets) as contingency variables to improve the understanding under which circumstances the entrepreneurial teams generate creative business ideas. METHODOLOGY: The research sample comprises entrepreneurial teams from the Mondragon Team Academy in the Basque Country, Spain. The survey data were collected after the entrepreneurial teams performed idea generation. The applied experiment of idea generation of entrepreneurial teams has not been generated for the purpose of the study but it formed part of the natural processes of the selected sample of teams. The novelty and quality of business ideas were evaluated by experts in the field. The data relationships were analyzed through partial least square structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). FINDINGS: Entrepreneurial Orientation of teams leads to product-market entries but not necessarily to novel product-market entries. Entrepreneurially oriented teams have a greater tendency to generate quality and slightly modified existing business ideas rather than to generate novel market opportunities. The applied moderators present different interaction results with the studied relationships. Specifically, individuals with a Fixed-Creative Mindset in a team have an antagonistic interaction on the TEO-Quality relationship. Team-Perceived Heterogeneity and Growth-Creative Mindset of individuals have no effect on either the TEO-Quality or the TEO-Novelty link. IMPLICATIONS: The research demonstrates the importance of contextualization of the nature of creativity in EO as a crucial antecedent of market innovations. Our study adds to the literature and practice by providing evidence that EO at a team level (TEO) plays a critical role in exploring product-market entries, given that TEO facilitates Quality outcomes only. Entrepreneurially oriented teams do not easily achieve Novel outcomes that allow them to enter new markets. Individuals with Fixed Creative Mindset in a team should be avoided as they block the relationship between Team Entrepreneurial Orientation and Quality. Likewise, our study supports the validity of Entrepreneurial Orientation at a team level, which can lead to more suitable practical implications for a team and its creativity management if applied. It could help in developing appropriate team formation and team management practices. ORIGINALITY AND VALUE: The study proposes rare and unique EO analysis at a team level and at young companies’ level (start-up). The study contributes to the original and overlooked in the literature conceptualization of EO within Schumpeter’s perspective of “creative destruction” in entrepreneurial activities. The examined theoretical foundations of EO led to clearer antecedents of behavioural effects of entrepreneurial teams towards product-market entries. The study initiates, identifies and calls for new further research lines to contribute to a greater and contingent understanding of how entrepreneurial teams generate creative business ideas, especially, novel business ideas, which are necessary for “creative destruction”, the EO construct itself and overall economic development.

Relación entre valores cooperativos y la RSC. Caso Corporación Mondragon
Querejeta-Agirre, Izaskun
La contribución de las cooperativas vascas a su comunidad desde diversos ángulos
es un hecho patente desde hace décadas. La responsabilidad social está presente en su ADN,
estableciéndose desde sus orígenes y, con el paso del tiempo evolucionando y adaptándose
a las necesidades de la sociedad. En la actualidad, el compromiso no solo se circunscribe al
entorno, sino que se amplía a cuestiones medioambientales, personas y comunidades con
escasos recursos, la pandemia mundial o el euskera entre otros. La internacionalización y el
cambio de mentalidad en las organizaciones ha propiciado que esa responsabilidad se haya extendido hasta adoptar la forma y denominación de Responsabilidad Social Corporativa (RSC).
Mediante este estudio, de carácter descriptivo y bajo una metodología mixta, se analiza la relación entre los principios y valores cooperativos y la RSC para conocer sus diferencias conceptuales, si la responsabilidad está integrada dentro de cada empresa de Mondragon, cuál ha
sido su evolución, características, cómo se desarrolla en la actualidad y qué percepción tienen
las personas trabajadoras sobre ella; The contribution of Basque cooperatives to their community from several viewpoints has been a clear fact for decades. Social responsibility is present in its DNA, establishing
itself from its origins and, over the years, this responsibility has been adapted to the needs
and demands of society. Currently, the commitment is not only limited to the environment,
but also extends to environmental issues, people and communities with limited resources, the
global pandemic or the Basque language, among others. Internationalization and the change of
mentality in organizations has led to this responsibility being extended to adopt the form and
name of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).
Through this descriptive study and under a mixed methodology, it is analysed the relationship
between cooperative principles and values and CSR to find out their conceptual differences,
whether responsibility is integrated within each Mondragon company, what has been its evolution, features and carried out today and what perception the workers have about it.

A pricing model to monetize your industrial data
Mendizabal Arrieta, Gorka; Castellano, Eduardo
Data monetization has become a relevant aspect of the industrial manufacturing. Consequently, this paper proposes a theoretical framework as well as a mathematical model to price industrial data. For this purpose, three characteristics of the data were considered, i.e. 1) quality; 2) entropy and 3) value. Besides, the role of data marketplace’s players was analyzed. In order to validate the economic equation, a case study was carried out by a Spanish manufacturer.

A methodology for performance assessment at system level—Identification of operating regimes and anomaly detection in wind turbines
Urmeneta Olmedo, Jon; Izquierdo, Juan
In the growing wind energy sector, as in other high investment sectors, the need to make assets profitable has put the spotlight on maintenance. Efficient solutions which leverage from condition or performance based maintenance policies have been proposed during the last decades, but the proposed methods generally focus on individual components or stand for specific application areas. This paper aims to contribute to the development of performance based maintenance strategies within the wind energy sector by providing a condition monitoring based generic methodology for wind turbine performance assessment at system level. The proposed methodology is based on the detection of critical periods in which low performance is detected repeatedly. Multiple machine learning methods and models are applied to assess the wind turbine performance. This methodology has been applied in a case study with SCADA data of eight wind turbines. An analyst could benefit from the implementation of the methodology and the easy-to-interpret results shown in the proposed control chart, especially in cases in which there is less know-how about which variables have higher impact on systems performance.
