A Study of University Students’ Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competencies under Internet Plus and China’s Dual Carbon Targets

China’s policy on carbon peaking and carbon neutrality has sparked a new wave of emerging industries towards reaching the dual carbon targets. The growth of these industries meant that there is an urgent need to develop innovative entrepreneurs who are committed to realizing the dual carbon goals. Therefore, it is of great significance to analyze the innovation and entrepreneurship competencies of university students in achieving the goals. Under the background of internet plus, university students are critical in realizing the dual carbon goals as they possess specific characteristics compared to the comprehensive competencies of innovative entrepreneurs. With the help of the internet and through the combination of online and offline model, this paper examined university students in a specific area to determine the structure and influencing factors of their innovation and entrepreneurship competencies. The results indicate that in the era of internet plus, factors such as national policy, students’ place of origin, career direction, as well as innovation and entrepreneurship activities play a key role in the innovation and entrepreneurship competencies of university students towards reaching the dual carbon goals. More proper research needs to be conducted on university students with different personality traits even though university students in the era of internet plus can make use of innovation and entrepreneurship opportunities in achieving the dual carbon targets.

The Education Impact on the Innovativeness of Female Entrepreneurship: A Systematic Literature Review

The women's education and its potential impact on entrepreneurship and innovation represent a growing interest in socioeconomic academic research (Paoloni and Manzo, 2023; Pereira, 2020; Bishu and Alkandry, 2017). The present paper makes a systematic literature review based on the topic of Gendered Education and Innovation in female entrepreneurship, considering the evolution over almost the last two decades and the current state of the art. The study is based on the Scopus database. It examines articles, books, and indexed conference proceedings that have focused on the influence of women's education on their entrepreneurial journey and innovative capabilities. The studies having in Abstract, Title, or Keywords "education " AND " innovation " AND " entrepreneur* " OR "enterprise*" AND "gender" are 257. Source types, year of publication, field of research, source title, keywords, country/territory, and language classify studies. After this, the most cited studies were analyzed to answer the RQs. The studies reviewed show a positive correlation between women's level of education and the likelihood of engaging in entrepreneurial activities. Education provides technical and managerial skills, boosts self-confidence and expands networking, facilitating access to resources and opportunities (de las Mercedes Barrachina Fernández et al., 2021; Gupta et al., 2009). From a theoretical point of view, the research contributes to gender studies about female entrepreneurship, focusing on the relationship between education and innovation. Analyzing how education influences women's entrepreneurship can help identify and address educational and socio-cultural barriers that limit women's access to entrepreneurship and active participation in innovation. From a managerial perspective, the results of such research can inform public policy, guiding government and organizational efforts in promoting specific educational programs that encourage women's entrepreneurship and innovativeness. Promoting women's innovativeness and entrepreneurship can contribute to overall economic development, as greater inclusion of women in the business landscape can lead to increased diversity, competitiveness and innovation (Minniti and Nardone, 2007; Morton et al., 2016; Pereira, 2019; Pereira and Salaris, 2019; ).

Construction of an innovative entrepreneurship project learning platform introducing a group recommendation algorithm for college students

This work aims to construct an innovative entrepreneurship project learning platform based on a group recommendation algorithm, which assists college students in better identifying and utilizing appropriate team resources during the entrepreneurial process. In order to achieve this goal, the genetic algorithm and probability models are introduced in the research process to improve the accuracy and personalization of group recommendations. First, the genetic algorithm is designed based on the initial population of individuals consisting of college students' diverse innovative entrepreneurship project information and personal characteristics. Individuals are iteratively optimized to find the optimal team combinations through crossover, mutation, and selection. Simultaneously, a probability model is employed to establish the group recommendation algorithm, and a large number of data samples and features are utilized for model training and prediction. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed Genetic Algorithm-Probability Model-Group Recommendation (GAPMGR) is validated through experiments and comparative analysis. The research findings indicate that the GAPMGR method proposed has significantly improved team combination recommendations for college students' innovative entrepreneurship project learning platforms. Compared to traditional methods, the GAPMGR algorithm's group recommendation performance has improved by 4.92%, enabling more accurate matching of suitable team resources. By introducing the genetic algorithm and probability models, the innovative entrepreneurship project learning platform based on group recommendation can effectively enhance students' entrepreneurial abilities and team collaboration effects. This platform can provide personalized team resource recommendations for students, promote interdisciplinary cooperation, and facilitate the successful implementation of innovative entrepreneurship projects. In the fields of education and entrepreneurship, this work provides a valuable entrepreneurial learning tool for college students and serves as a reference for educational institutions and entrepreneurship mentors. In the field of technology, this work explores the application of the genetic algorithm and probability models in group recommendation, offering new ideas and methods for further research and application.

Gendered perception and factors influencing the choice of innovation in the fisheries sector: A case of southern Ghana

This study seeks to examine the perception of fish workers about fisheries innovation and factors influencing the choice of innovation in Ghana's Greater Accra and Central regions. The study uses weighted mean index and multinomial logit model to analyze the data on 230 fish workforces. The results reveal that fish workforces perceive the likelihood of men innovating to be more relative to women due to the difference in the nature of fish activity undertaken by men and women. Factors such as age, gender, education, marital status, saving, credit access, perceived usefulness, association membership and location significantly affect the choice of innovation techniques. Specifically, female fish workers were found to be less likely to use entrepreneurial innovation but more likely to choose demand/supply driven innovation techniques. The paper recommends that the Ministry of Fisheries and Aquaculture Development (MoFAD) and its Development partners organize training sessions on gender dimensions to reiterate the importance of adopting fisheries innovation for enhanced productivity. Also, fish workers especially women should be encouraged to join groups and develop a culture of savings to position them for innovation adoption. With growing interest in innovative initiatives within the fisheries sector that facilitate fishing activities, this study is one of the first to explore innovation adoption from a gendered perspective in Ghana.

Cultural diversity and innovative entrepreneurship

AbstractA growing empirical literature has established a positive relationship between cultural diversity and entrepreneurship, often attributing this effect to innovation benefits of diversity. However, not all entrepreneurship is inherently innovative, raising the question of whether cultural diversity may increase the likelihood of an entrepreneur pursuing an innovative instead of a more replicative business strategy. This study investigates the relationship between regional cultural diversity and the innovation orientation of early-stage entrepreneurs and considers moderating factors by decomposing shares of foreign-born population by origin (within and outside of the EU) and by education level. Combining survey data from the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor with population-based indicators of cultural diversity, we carry out a multilevel analysis for 140 European regions. The results suggest that entrepreneurs in culturally more diverse regions are significantly more likely to exhibit innovation orientation.
