This study, grounded in Market Orientation Theory, examines the impact of entrepreneurship capacity building on the business success of street food vendors in the Arusha Region of Tanzania. Market Orientation Theory emphasizes the importance of understanding and responding to customer needs as a pathway to business success, a principle central to this research. Employing a descriptive cross-sectional design, data were collected from 150 registered street food vendors using structured questionnaires measuring financial management skills, marketing skills, innovation capacity, and business performance. The analysis revealed significant positive relationships between entrepreneurship training and business success, with financial management skills identified as the strongest predictor, followed by marketing and innovation capacities. The findings suggest that enhancing these market-oriented competencies enables street food vendors to better meet customer demands, adapt to changing market conditions, and improve overall competitiveness and sustainability. This study underscores the need for tailored capacity-building programs that address the unique challenges faced by informal sector entrepreneurs, offering valuable insights for policymakers, training providers, and development partners seeking to promote inclusive economic growth and poverty reduction in Tanzania’s urban informal economy.

This study examines the influence of entrepreneurial behaviors on startup performance in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. Grounded in Entrepreneurial Event Theory (EET), this research employs a cross-sectional survey of 244 startup owners, analyzed through descriptive and regression analysis. The findings reveal that competitive aggressiveness is the most significant predictor of startup performance, followed by innovation and proactiveness, while risk-taking has a modest but significant effect. These results extend EET by demonstrating that perceived feasibility and desirability drive specific entrepreneurial behaviors in resource-constrained environments. Practically, the study highlights the need for startups to adopt data-driven competitive strategies, proactive innovation approaches, and structured risk-taking models. Additionally, it provides policymakers with insights to design startup-friendly policies and funding mechanisms that foster sustainable entrepreneurial ecosystems. The findings contribute to entrepreneurship theory by contextualizing the behavioral dynamics of startups in emerging markets, paving the way for future research on industry-specific entrepreneurial patterns.

This study provides a qualitative literature review on the relationship between green finance and firm performance in Ho Chi Minh City (HCM) through the aggregation of academic knowledge, key themes, and research gaps to develop a conceptual framework for informing future empirical studies. The reviews covers peer-reviewed journals, reports, and policy papers published from 2020 to 2025 focusing on green finance practices such as green credit, green bonds and ESG investing, and their impacts on financial, environmental, and operational performance. The findings are organized across core dimensions of green finance and performance, with a critical evaluation of methodologies and academically contributions. The proposed conceptual framework details the direct and indirect impacts of green finance on firm performance, financial outcomes, environmental impacts, and stakeholder perceptions. Five hypotheses that relate to the performance of CSR, the commitment of management, environmental performance, intangible capital and green innovation are able to improve financial performance. This framework aims to deepen understanding of green finance in Vietnamese businesses and promote its integration into operations. The study advocates a balanced approach to profitability, sustainability, and stakeholder trust, contributing to the discourse on sustainable development in emerging economies.
