Entrepreneurial opportunities as expressions of personal identities: interpretative engagement through personal value structures

ABSTRACT Entrepreneurial identities have a significant influence on new venture emergence. Yet, an entrepreneur’s (meaning-constructing) interpretive engagement with situations such as entrepreneurial opportunities remain relatively unexplained. This paper explores how entrepreneurs’ personal identities influence their interpretive engagement with entrepreneurial opportunities. We presented 34 entrepreneurs with three business scenarios and, using verbal protocols and content analysis techniques, inductively identified seven individual value types. We find that these value types vary among individual founders, revealing distinct personal identities (as personal value structures). These types are reflections of exogenously and endogenously oriented personal identities that depict how individuals perceive scenarios as situations that represent the environment as exogenous (scenarios as what is) or as endogenously constructed (scenarios as what could be). Therefore, we contribute to the entrepreneurship literature by highlighting the significance of personal identities as representations of entrepreneurial goals that give rise to different framings of situations as entrepreneurial opportunities as these become expressions of their personal identities.

WOMEN ENTREPRENEURS ON THE RISE: UNVEILING THE INTERPLAY BETWEEN GOALS-MOTIVATION, ORIENTATION AND OPPORTUNITY RECOGNITION AND PERFORMANCE

Women entrepreneurs in Indonesia significantly contribute in national economy. Traditionally, Indonesian society has a tradition of believing that women have more responsibility for the household. This study investigates the effect of entrepreneurial orientation and entrepreneurial goals and motives on woman entrepreneur performance through opportunity recognition. Respondents in this study are 220 women entrepreneurs in from several provinces in Indonesia. This study chose the Partial Least Square-based Structural Equation (PLS-SEM) model technique to analyze the data. This study successfully confirmed the influence of entrepreneurial orientation on opportunity recognition in women entrepreneurs. However, the researcher could not show the effect of entrepreneurial goals and motives on opportunity recognition in women entrepreneurs. Furthermore, entrepreneurial orientation, entrepreneurial goals and motives, and opportunity recognition significantly influence women entrepreneur performance.

ISSUES OF INTERNAL AUDIT DEVELOPMENT

Internal audit receives different interpretations among professionals. Currently the functions of internal audit have expanded so much that they have penetrated into the field of consulting, management and evaluation of business results. As a result, operational, managerial and performance audit functions have been put into practice, which in their objectives are sometimes mixed, cross with each other and give rise to different opinions.
 The article attempts to clarify the scope and objectives of each of the types of internal audit. In particular, the features and unique functions of operational, managerial and performance audits within the framework of internal audit are recorded, emphasizing their development stages and the tools used. The development directions of internal audit are analyzed based on the changing goals of entrepreneurship and the requirements of effective development.
 

Understanding Entrepreneurial Intentions among University Students: An Empirical Investigation

In most nations, entrepreneurship has been crucial to economic growth and social stability. India has the world’s biggest proportion of young people in its population, and it is struggling with the high rates of youth unemployment. In this jobless situation, finding new jobs is challenging for students. Therefore, having an entrepreneurial goal is the most crucial mechanism for doing a new business and being self-employed. This research aims to evaluate the perceptions of the Berhampur University students toward entrepreneurial attitude, subjective norm, and perceived behavioural control on entrepreneurial intentions by using Aizen’s (1991) Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) and data validation in the state of Odisha setting. This research study population was 1048 students of Berhampur University, and 319 students participated in data collection for research sample but 294 usable sample responses received as of the 2021-2022 academic year. The study used a cross-sectional research design. Purposive sampling was used to gather the data, and a closed-ended questionnaire was given to respondents. Data was cleaned and analysed by applying statistical tool of structural equation modelling to examine at the relationships between the constructs and variables. The research findings revealed a positive relationship between perceived behavioural control and entrepreneurial intentions. Surprisingly, the outcome results were somewhat contrary to TPB because the construct of personal attitude and subjective norm with entrepreneurial intentions did not have any significant relationships with the population of university students. This research will offer fresh perspectives on both academics and policymakers. Universities today play a key role in impacting students’ views and behaviours by offering a platform and an atmosphere that encourage an entrepreneurial spirit. In order to emphasise the advantages of being a young entrepreneur, policymakers should concentrate on establishing a new business and funding start-ups.

PENGARUH PENDIDIKAN KEWIRAUSAHAAN DAN EFIKASI DIRI TERHADAP NIAT BERWIRAUSAHA DI KALANGAN MAHASISWA UNIVERSITAS DARUNNAJAH

This study intends to perform empirical research on students at Darunnajah University's entrepreneurship education, self-efficacy, and entrepreneurial goals. On the basis of cross-sectional data, the author employs quantitative methodologies. Students at the Darunnajah University's business faculty are the intended audience for the use of random sampling procedures. To get responses from respondents, the author employed a survey questionnaire. The structural equation model (SEM) is employed by the author. The study's findings indicate that the introduction of opportunities and the acquisition of entrepreneurial knowledge, specifically, have a strong positive impact on entrepreneurial self-efficacy and entrepreneurial goals. In addition, the entrepreneurial self-efficacy variable significantly and favourably influences entrepreneurial inclinations.

The crisis effect in TPB as a moderator for post-pandemic entrepreneurial intentions among higher education students: PLS-SEM and ANN approach

This research examines college students' entrepreneurial inclinations using TPB, self-efficacy, and the crisis effect. It also examines the crisis effect's moderating influence post-pandemic. A unique analytical technique using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) was used to evaluate the model's resilience. 310 Indian university students were surveyed online. Self-efficacy is a crucial predictor of entrepreneurial tendencies among higher education students. ANN analysis confirms SEM findings that self-efficacy and perceived behaviour control shape entrepreneurial desires. Despite its negative impact, the crisis effect doesn't appear to affect entrepreneurs' objectives. The crisis impact moderates all exogenous and endogenous factors except subjective norms and entrepreneurial goals, the research finds. The research also shows that students' education and geography affect their entrepreneurial inclinations. Gender, however, has little control. Policymakers and higher education administrators could boost entrepreneurial ambitions by fostering students' self-efficacy and perceived behaviour control. Understanding these elements allows higher education stakeholders to create targeted interventions and support systems to foster college student entrepreneurship.

Factors of Demographic and Sustainable Entrepreneurial Intentions: A Case Study of University Students in Can Tho, Viet Nam

Let's look into the sustainable entrepreneurial goals of university students in Can Tho, Vietnam, as well as the roles that demographic factors like gender, age, occupation, and marital status played in the process. In addition, the study investigates how factors such as the current school year, school entrepreneurship training, family generation, field of study, and family business might affect a person's sustainable entrepreneurial intentions. The information needed for this research came from the participation of 284 student respondents who were enrolled in a variety of institutions in Can Tho, Vietnam. The study used t-tests and ANOVA to examine relationships between demographic factors (gender, age, occupation, and marriage) and current school year, school entrepreneurship training, family generation, field of study, and family business in relation to sustainable entrepreneurial intentions. Researchers were particularly interested in determining whether or not there was a link between these criteria and the ambition to maintain a viable business venture. According to the findings, the field of study and current school year have a significant bearing on the students' plans to engage in environmentally responsible business. These results contribute to our understanding of the demographic factors that play a role in determining the degree to which students attending institutions in Can Tho, Vietnam, have an interest in launching their own companies. These results may provide information that might be useful to policymakers, educators, and other stakeholders in the process of establishing targeted interventions and support systems to encourage sustainable entrepreneurship among students in the area.

The Mediating Effects of Self-Efficacy on Entrepreneurship Education and Student’s Entrepreneurial Intention

To those pursuing careers in business disciplines, entrepreneurship education has become crucial. Based on entrepreneurship education philosophy, this study examines how learning and intention affect secondary students' entrepreneurial goals, especially those of Malvar School of Arts and Trade students in Grade 10. This tackles the scarcity of research on the role of self-efficacy as a mediator between entrepreneurial intention and entrepreneurship education. The descriptive correlational method of research was utilized in this study. The primary tool for collecting data was the questionnaire created by the researcher. Respondents were 198 Grade 10 students at Malvar School of Arts and Trade. The respondents believed entrepreneurship education and self-efficacy strengthened their intention to become entrepreneurs. They also believed that entrepreneurship education increases their understanding of starting their enterprise. Between entrepreneurship education and entrepreneurial intention, self-efficacy plays a crucial role, enabling students to anticipate when they will start a new firm.

The Effect of Risk Tolerance, Entrepreneurship Motivation and Self Efficacy on Entrepreneur Intention of University Students

This study's objective is to examine and gather empirical information on the relationships between college students' entrepreneurial goals and their motivation, self-efficacy, and risk tolerance. Management students in semesters 6 and 8 participated in this study as respondents. In this case study, 85 management students were selected as a sample. Based on the purposive sampling technique. Multiple linear regression analysis approaches are used to test the hypothesis in this case study. The findings indicated that entrepreneurial desire, self-efficacy, and risk tolerance all had an impact on entrepreneurial intention whereas risk tolerance had no impact. This research demonstrates that entrepreneurial intention is simultaneously influenced by entrepreneurial motivation, self-efficacy, and risk tolerance.

An Assessment of the Supreme Court's Ruling in South Dakota V. Wayfair: A Macromarketing Case Study

Years ago Shelby Hunt noted that cromarketing focuses on marketing systems, the impact of marketing systems on society, and the impact and consequences of society on marketing systems. The ruling by the United States Supreme Court enabling states to require remote sellers to collect and remit sales taxes on in-state purchases exemplifies the latter. Imposing a new tax burden on previously untaxed remote sellers has the power to alter the structure of retailing and impact consumer welfare. Responding to “new economic realities,” the Court reversed long-standing precedent requiring that sellers must have a physical presence in the state to be subject to taxation. Proponents viewed this as a major step in restoring lost tax revenues to the states. Critics point to the inconsistency of the Court's ruling with stare decisis, the regressive nature of sales taxes, and recent public policy mandates stemming from the Covid pandemic. Although the Wayfair ruling is now the law and many of the concerns voiced prior to the Court's action seem to have been unfounded, the macromarketing implications remain. The potential impact of public policy on retailing cannot be ignored nor should the regressive nature of an increase in sales taxes on income inequality be overlooked. Additionally, there remain questions of fairness and administration with the ruling. Students of macromarketing should not ignore these issues. The responsibility to examine the impact of society—and the Court—on marketing systems was reinforced years ago by Bartels and Jenkins: “…the goal of marketing is the achievement of entrepreneurial goals in a manner consistent with the best overall interests of society… Macro models represent value judgments made by society for society; by governments in the form of laws, administrative orders, and judicial decisions…and by others who assume the role of advocating what is best for the general welfare.”

STUDENT PERSPECTIVE GAP BETWEEN ENTREPRENEURSHIP GOALS AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP DISINTEREST

The college period is a time where every student will find their identity and try to grow and adapt to the campus environment. At that time, students should be able to explore themselves to continue to develop not only in the majors that have been chosen but also to be able to see the career opportunities that exist in addition to the majors that have been chosen.This study aims to look at the gaps in students' perspectives regarding the goals of entrepreneurship with disinterest in entrepreneurship. This study uses a descriptive qualitative research type where to draw conclusions from the results of the study, the researcher asks the same questions to the informants to see the uniformity of perspectives obtained from the interviews and then describes the results of the interviews and draws conclusions. The informants in this study were students who had followed the Entrepreneurship Course by running the Entrepreneurial Learning Experience Practice.The results of student research assume that the purpose of entrepreneurship is to provide career options and help earn income but still after taking courses with entrepreneurship learning experience assignments. Students also have not found their interest in entrepreneurship in college for a simple reason. to do other coursework

Persepsi Generasi Muda Tentang Pertanian Organik dan Pengaruhnya Terhadap Minat Berwirausaha

The number of farmers that continues to decline is one of the problems that occur in the agricultural sector. The interest to become a farmer or business actor in agriculture, especially for the younger generation also tends to decline. They perceive that it is more tiring to work in the agricultural sector because they work outdoors. By administering a survey to 63 members of Komunitas Petani Muda Indonesia, this research aimed to determine the opinions of the younger generation about organic farming and their impact on entrepreneurial goals. The technique of collecting samples employs probability sampling, descriptive analysis, and SEM-PLS. The results show that the knowledge and positive views about organic farming affect the interest in entrepreneurship, However, their interest in organic farming tends to be low. Several factors contribute to this, including the fact that many individuals who do not understand organic products equate the price of organic products with conventional agricultural products and the difficulty of marketing organic products. The conclusion is that perception influences the desire of young people to become entrepreneurs.

When old institutions pay off: a new entrepreneurial state in South Korea and its limit in incorporating small firms into semiconductor production

AbstractThis study discusses why South Korea has not always succeeded in the ‘entrepreneurial state’ approach – defined as policy efforts to move away from the old developmental state model to a new industrial system of innovation in which small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are incorporated – by focusing on the limitation of new semiconductor industrial policies of the former Moon Jae-in government (2017–2022). Conventionally, many scholars have exclusively ascribed this limitation to large businesses' (chaebol's) practice of in-house production. Building upon historical institutionalism and its concept of increasing returns, alternatively, we shift attention to the way the Moon government played its entrepreneurial role. We argue that, as the government sought increasing returns from the developmental state idea and institution, the likelihood of wider SME incorporation decreased. Nationalism enabled the government to control the policymaking process but made it difficult to obtain new information through policy contestation. The government depended on developmental alliance to increase policy visibility through the chaebol's capabilities, but demands of small firms were downplayed. This study proposes to construct a more theoretical framework with which to explain how the old political economy model affects new entrepreneurial goals.

Richard Cantillon and public policy

PurposeRichard Cantillon (168?–173?) is known as the first economic theorist and the founder of entrepreneurship theory. Few would describe him as engaged in policy issues, but he did write about policy issues of interest to scholars interested in entrepreneurship and economic development. He has long been classified as a mercantilist of a bygone day, even as many believe he was resolute in not commenting on policy matters at all. His views could be a key to pursuing the policy goals of entrepreneurship scholars.Design/methodology/approachThe authors look at several topics in Cantillon's Essay on the Nature of Commerce in General (1755), read in its historical/political context, to better understand Cantillon's views. The authors then relate Cantillon's views to recent interventions in the economy.FindingsThe authors found that Cantillon held clearly antimercantilist, or free market, views. The authors also recognize that his views, given his status as the founder of entrepreneurship theory, can contribute to modern economics. As in Cantillon's day, institutional uncertainty has negative economic consequences and often leads to unproductive entrepreneurship, which is only made worse by the increased complexity of the modern economy.Originality/valueThe authors clarify Cantillon's views against modern-day interpretations and offer a clearer understanding of Cantillon's writings in the context of his Essay on the Nature of Commerce in General (1755). The authors also show the importance of the proper role of institutions for productive entrepreneurship—and the danger of unproductive or destructive entrepreneurship when such institutions do not have policies favorable to entrepreneurship.

Obsessive passion, opportunity recognition, and entrepreneurial performance: The dual moderating effect of the fear of failure.

A strong inclination toward an important or preferred activity is a critical factor that drives individual to engage in corresponding activities. This study focuses on how entrepreneurs, influenced by obsessive passion, are motivated to put great effort into taking advantage of business opportunities and accomplishing entrepreneurial goals. By using SPSS and AMOS tools to analyze the multi-source questionnaire of 208 entrepreneurs, the research results show that obsessive passion can promote entrepreneurial performance and opportunity recognition plays a mediating role. In addition, endogenous and exogenous fear of failure play different moderating roles in the effect of obsessive passion on opportunity recognition. The research conclusion deepens the theoretical understanding of entrepreneurial passion, opportunity recognition, and fear of failure at a more subtle level.

Risk-Taking and Sustainable Entrepreneurship Intention in Côte d’Ivoire SMEs: Moderating Role of Government Subsidy policy

This study’s goal was to examine the impact of SME risk-taking and government support policies on the sustainability of SMEs, using a Moderating Effect Model. The research was conducted through structured interviews to gain insight into Business Risk-Taking and Sustainable Entrepreneurship Intention among SMEs in Côte d’Ivoire. Participants were chosen using a purposive sampling strategy in order to gather qualitative data. 509 respondents completed a self-administered questionnaire, which was used to gather data. Using PLS-SEM, the data were analysed and several hypotheses were evaluated. The study discovered that, through the indirect influence of risk propensity, risk attitude, and risk assessment, government subsidy policy moderation has a positive and substantial link between risk-taking and sustainable entrepreneurial goals. Governments and private finance sources might find these insights useful for fostering a more entrepreneurial climate.

Digitalisation in the development of social entrepreneurship

The article considers the process of digital transformation in the sphere of social entrepreneurship, which solves socially significant problems of public life, simultaneously providing a positive economic, social and environmental impact thereon. The use of the Internet and digitalisation of the economy transforms radically the cooperation processes between all involved actors. Social entrepreneurship is no exception. In this context, this paper explores the role of digitalisation in the development of social entrepreneurship. In order to achieve the set goal and analyse the available data, the authors used such general scientific methods of knowledge as abstraction, deduction, deconstruction, synthesis, analogy and axiomatics. The use of this methodological apparatus made it possible to conclude that the process of digitalisation and introduction of information technologies in the sphere of social entrepreneurship provides new tools supporting the activities in this sphere as well as changing the very context of social entrepreneurs’ work. This made it possible to highlight the factors influencing the development of digitalisation in social entrepreneurship, as well as to identify new and promising areas of digital transformation in the sphere of social entrepreneurship. These primarily include the use of the blockchain and smart contracts which offer new opportunities for financing, storing data and achieving social entrepreneurship goals.
