    Benchmarking for women entrepreneurship development in latvia
    (National Academy of Management, 2014) Zarina, Vita; Begeç, Suat
    The understanding of entrepreneurship has developed significantly over the last two decades with many recognised researchers promoting the idea that business environment, though vital for entrepreneurship, provides only a part of factors influencing the formation and emergence of a new entrepreneur. The goal of the research is to approximate the application of different indicators used and available for measuring entrepreneurship in general and women entrepreneurship in particular. The authors analyse the current application of business environment indices, e.g. the Global Competitiveness Index and Doing Business Indicators and the data gathered within the national study on women entrepreneurship, and offer to integrate the Global Entrepreneurship Indicators into policy-making.

    Strategic Partnerships in the Construction Industry in Latvia
    (Springer Int Publishing Ag, 2015) Vanags, Andris; Begec, Suat; Zarina, Vita
    In the modern world, where both business sustainability and competitiveness are among the main goals, none of the companies can survive without establishing some kind of informal or formal partnership with others, thus influencing the whole value chain. Meanwhile, business diversification has led to a multivariate construction industry structure challenging the traditional division of roles. Thus, the objective of the study was to establish the research methodology for the assessment of strategic partnerships, as well as to carry out empirical study on the extent to which the existing strategic partnerships influence the industry's value chain. There was carried out an analysis of the construction industry's structure in Latvia on the basis of the statistical data, developed the methodology for partnership analysis, approximated and analysed the major partnerships, and carried out the market stakeholders survey and focus group discussions to substantiate the findings. The study highlights partnership differentiation both by structure and strategic goals. It was discovered that customer-focused partnerships tended to last much longer leading to customer loyalty and repeated business, while profit-focused partnerships were often only a temporary solution, the major influencing factor for any successful partnership being the alignment of the strategic goals of all involved partners.
