REVITALIZING FOREST MANAGEMENT IN INDONESIAN FOREST INDUSTRY POST-COVID-19: EXPECTATIONS FROM YOUNG FORESTERS (A CASE STUDY FROM UNIVERSITY STUDENTS)

The global health emergency triggered by COVID-19 has had a significant impact on Indonesia's forestry industry. This study investigates the expectations of young foresters regarding the post-pandemic landscape, exploring various aspects such as industry performance, focus, worker protection, global strategies, and personal views on the industry's future. In conjunction with descriptive statistics, word cloud analysis was employed to identify salient issues drawing substantial attention. Through purposive sampling at a leading forestry university in Indonesia, the study reveals that young foresters perceive the transition towards developing industries based on non-timber forest products and environmental services as potential areas of growth. However, they acknowledge that the timber-based industry has historically been the backbone of Indonesia's forest industry and is likely to maintain its significance as forest management trends toward plantation forestry. Additionally, the study demonstrates the enduring appeal of the forestry sector to the younger generation, positioning it as a valuable entrepreneurial field.

Connecting the Wings of Dynamism: Bibliometric Analysis of Artificial Intelligence and Entrepreneurship Fields

This study aims to create a holistic viewpoint by concentrating on two dynamic areas of artificial intelligence and entrepreneurship with bibliometric analysis. The concept of artificial intelligence, which is constantly heard as the digital world gradually penetrates our lives, and entrepreneurship, which is referred to as the atomic element of the economic infrastructure, are addressed in the same pot with this research. The attitude of both areas against varying circumstances constitutes the essential basis of this examination. The view that the effectiveness in the areas can be increased with the synergy to be created between the two focuses is supported. With this intention, the study commences with an informative literature section, where the introductory elements of the areas are conveyed. Afterward, it tries to clarify why these zones need to be examined together. Following this, a bibliometric analysis study, frequently used to bring unfamiliar kinds of literature jointly, is conducted using data obtained from the Web of Science database and subjected to various analyses. In the last stage, the study is completed by examining these outputs and analyzes. As a result, conclusions support “the duo” can be investigated jointly. The study contributes to the idea that artificial intelligence and entrepreneurship are wings working in synchrony for the requirement of success.

Beyond success and failure: learning from execution of corporate entrepreneurial actions

Purpose This article aims to redefine the paradigm of evaluating corporate entrepreneurial actions, moving beyond the simplistic success/failure dichotomy. It underscores the importance of a nuanced understanding of the outcomes of such initiatives, emphasizing the need for organizations to learn from both their successes and failures. The focus is on fostering a learning organization culture, where strategic decision-making is enhanced through a comprehensive analysis of past entrepreneurial endeavors, thus ensuring long-term corporate health and growth. Design/methodology/approach The study is based on the analysis of the existing literature and illustrative real-world cases from prominent corporations. Findings The findings reveal that understanding the reasons behind the success or failure of strategic initiatives is crucial for sustainable corporate growth. The study highlights that mere success can be misleading without comprehending the underlying factors, just as failure can offer valuable lessons if properly analyzed. The 'Learning from Execution Matrix' facilitates this understanding, aiding corporations in fostering a culture of continuous improvement. The DIRS (Decomposition, Interpretation, Rewarding, Scaling) framework further helps in breaking down and scaling these learnings for broader application within the organization. Originality/value This article contributes to the field of strategic entrepreneurship by providing a novel framework for analyzing corporate entrepreneurial actions. The 'Learning from Execution Matrix' and the DIRS framework offer practical, actionable tools for managers and leaders, fostering a culture of learning and strategic adaptation.

ADHD Behavior and Entrepreneurial Behavior: The Mediating Role of Entrepreneurial Intention

The fundamental objective of this research is to study the relationship between Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) behavior and entrepreneurial behavior in Tunisian students. Based on the theory of person-environment adjustment (P-E), the theory of planned behavior (TPB) and the analysis of data collected from 267 Tunisian students using a self-administered online questionnaire, the results of the present study showed no relationship between ADHD behavior and entrepreneurial action. However, entrepreneurial intention plays a mediating role in this relationship. These results constitute a theoretical contribution to the entrepreneurial field. Similarly, the results of the current study lend further support to the person-environment “P-E” theory, which posits that the functionality of a component of ADHD behavior depends on its fit with the environment. In particular, the uncertain and autonomous entrepreneurial environment could be an attractive career choice for people who display hyperactive/impulsive behavior. As for the theory of planned behavior “TPB,” the results of this study also show that intention is a fundamental antecedent of entrepreneurial behavior. This research has practical implications. Its results can be used by stakeholders in the entrepreneurial ecosystem (teachers, incubators, career coaches,… etc.) to detect future entrepreneurs and absorb the unemployment of Tunisian university graduates.

Theoretical Framework: The study is based on Kolb's (1984) experiential learning theory and active learning models. These theories provide a solid foundation for understanding how learning occurs through experience, emphasizing the development of soft skills. Method: The research follows a qualitative and exploratory approach, with data collection based on bibliographic review and participant observation. The study was conducted in entrepreneurship courses, focusing on the observation of students' soft skills through the application of Kolb’s experiential learning cycle. Results and Discussion: The results show that the application of ELT in entrepreneurship education promotes the development of soft skills. The theoretical and practical implications are discussed in light of experiential learning theory, highlighting the importance of an active approach to education. Research Implications: The research has important implications for the fields of education and entrepreneurship, suggesting that experiential teaching can be an effective tool for developing essential behavioral skills for the labor market. Originality/Value: The study contributes by demonstrating the applicability of ELT in entrepreneurship education, addressing the gap between traditional teaching and the need to develop soft skills in academic contexts.

The psychology of entrepreneurial performance—theoretical and applied: Robert A. Baron and Michael Frese, co-recipients of the 2024 Global Award for Entrepreneurship Research

AbstractProfessors Robert A. Baron and Michael Frese are the joint recipients of the 2024 Global Award for Entrepreneurship Research. Their research contributions have helped establish the disciplinary foundation necessary to explore entrepreneurship from theoretical and applied psychological perspectives. From a theoretical psychological perspective, Professor Baron has repeatedly introduced a disciplinary scaffolding from cognitive psychology, social psychology, and judgment and decision-making psychology to develop the field’s socio-cognitive perspective. He has examined entrepreneurship’s basic “why” questions: (1) Why do some persons but not others choose to become entrepreneurs? (2) Why do some persons but not others recognize opportunities for new products or services that can be profitably exploited? (3) Why are some entrepreneurs so much more successful than others? From an applied psychological perspective, Professor Frese has examined entrepreneurship as the epitome of a proactive approach to work, advocating the benefits of personal initiative and the need for a self-regulatory approach to performance among both small business owners and employees in transition economies. Continually taking stock of what is known about the psychology of entrepreneurship through reviews and meta-analysis, he and his students have advanced an evidence-based approach to entrepreneurial training and performance in challenging contexts. Together, Professors Baron and Frese have served as ambassadors for the field of entrepreneurship, welcoming an entire generation of micro scholars to explore the entrepreneurial process and the psychology of the entrepreneurs who enact it.

Principals Leadership in Improving Students Entrepreneurial Competence

The problem of imbalance between the number of labor force growth and available jobs is a seriousconcern in the context of education and economic development today. The phenomenon where the number of Vocational High School (SMK) graduates continues to grow but their ability to become entrepreneurs or create new jobs is still minimal highlights the importance of effective entrepreneurship education. Currently, entrepreneurship education in schools tends to only touch the surface, focusing on introducing entrepreneurial values, without giving emphasis on internalizing these values or encouraging real actions in daily life. Based on these problems, this paper will discuss how the principal's leadership and how the principal's leadership strategy in improving student entrepreneurship in SMK. The research process using literature study begins with the identification of the topic or research question to be researched. After that, researchers search for related literature through various sources of information such as libraries, online databases, and electronic journals. With great responsibility, school principals are responsible for the implementation of learning activities that can ultimately improve existing graduates, especially in the field of entrepreneurship. In line with this, some of the strategies that can be carried out by school principals in improving student entrepreneurial competence are by creating innovation, working hard in improving school quality, motivation, never giving up, and having entrepreneurial instincts.

Family entrepreneurship: a bibliometric analysis and future research agenda

The family entrepreneurship regroups family members, family business and the entrepreneurship activities. This makes it a fertile and rich research field, which needs to be explored and analyzed to understand the specific behaviors and orientations of the family entrepreneurial initiatives. The main purpose of this paper is to present a bibliometric analysis and research agenda of scientific publications dealing mainly with the family entrepreneurship field. The bibliometric process is the methodological design adopted to review the previous studies about our problematic. The scope of our study is limited to the scientific articles have been published between 2000 and 2022 (September), in the three data bases: Web of sciences, Scopus and Jstor. 73 out of 181 articles selected have been retained and analyzed after the assessment process taking into consideration different inclusion and exclusion criteria. In addition, the Excel’s tools and the VOSviewer software version 1.6.18 are the main technological devices used to carry out this research. Our study shows that family entrepreneurship is a legitimate area of research, despite the fact that it is still in its pre-paradigmatic and launching stages. Thus, further academic studies dealing with the family entrepreneurship research clusters generated through the thematic and bibliometric analysis (as presented by the figure 5) need to be deepened

The influence of entrepreneurial education on the development of entrepreneurial intentions of young people

A successful start-up begins with an innovative idea, which is then realized by identifying and seizing an opportunity. Innovation is one of the most crucial entrepreneurial qualities in this type of entrepreneurship. The aim of this paper is to determine the fundamental and specific characteristics of start-up entrepreneurship and to examine the entrepreneurial intentions and knowledge of young people in this field. The empirical research in this paper includes both secondary and primary research. Secondary research involves the presentation of relevant studies in the fields of start-up entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial education. The primary empirical research was conducted on a sample of 160 students from higher education institutions in Međimurje and Varaždin counties. The results indicate that students are relatively well-informed about the possibilities of starting a start-up company. Their personal assessments of their familiarity with the processes involved in starting a start-up are of average value. Additionally, respondents identified administrative procedures, high taxes, lack of knowledge about funding sources, and insufficient information about reference centers as the main obstacles to entering entrepreneurship. By testing the research hypotheses, it was found that attending formal classes in entrepreneurship positively affects the entrepreneurial intentions of young people. The limitations of the research include the restriction of the sample to northwestern Croatia. The findings suggest a further need to strengthen entrepreneurship education and expand it to younger populations in the Republic of Croatia.

APPLICATION OF MACHINE LEARNING TECHNIQUES TO INCREASE THE LEVEL OF ACCURACY OF OPTICAL CHARACTER RECOGNITION RESULTS

One of the most pervasive processes of modernity is undoubtedly digitalization, which has encompassed all key spheres of human life. The development of information technology has contributed to large-scale changes not only in the everyday aspect of life, but also more globally, automating complex business processes in the field of entrepreneurship, economics, and healthcare. The transition to digital data and documentation has provided greater accessibility to necessary information and has also enhanced the efficiency of its analysis and processing. Due to this fact, optical character recognition (OCR) technology has gained significant importance, enabling the identification and extraction of textual data from images. OCR systems play a pivotal role in the digital transformation of society as they eliminate the need for manual handling of textual information in images and are applicable in automating the majority of business processes associated with paper-based data processing, such as gathering statistical data from paper forms, reflecting paper documents in electronic document management systems, converting textual information into audio files, and so on. This paper is dedicated to describing optical character recognition technology, as well as providing an overview of machine learning techniques that are actively used in the context of its modern implementation, in order to enhance the quality of the obtained results. In addition, the paper presents the principles of operation of the described approaches, their capabilities, as well as some limitations that may be encountered when using them in various scenarios.

RESEARCH ON THE FORMATION MECHANISM OF ENTREPRENEURIAL RESILIENCE OF CHINESE RURAL MAKERS FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF SELF-LEADERSHIP

This study adopts a combination of theoretical research and empirical research methods. First, we designed a questionnaire based on a literature review, primarily using a Likert 5-point scale, which covered variables such as self-leadership, entrepreneurial resilience, entrepreneurial identity, flow experience, and government entrepreneurial support perception. The Rural Makers column group and the industry alliance assisted in the distribution of 587 questionnaires to the Chinese rural maker group, leading to the final collection of 427 valid questionnaires. We performed data analysis and hypothesis testing using statistical software such as SPSS26.0 and AMOS24.0. The results show that: (1) Self-leadership has a significant positive impact on the entrepreneurial resilience of rural makers. (2) Self-leadership indirectly promotes the formation of entrepreneurial resilience. (3) Entrepreneurial identity and flow experience have a positive impact on entrepreneurial resilience. (4) Perception of government support for entrepreneurship positively moderates the relationship between entrepreneurial identity and entrepreneurial resilience. These findings reveal the formation mechanism of entrepreneurial resilience among rural makers, provide theoretical guidance and practical inspiration for improving the entrepreneurial resilience of rural entrepreneurs and coping with entrepreneurial challenges, and also enrich the research results in the field of rural entrepreneurship.

Understanding Entrepreneurial Commitment: A Test of Side-Bet Theory

This paper contributes to the burgeoning literature on entrepreneurial commitment by providing a first empirical investigation of Howard Becker’s side-bet theory in the context of nascent entrepreneurship. We investigate how different forms of commitment relate to both entrepreneurial behavior and various side-bet categories: satisfying conditions, non-work concerns, others’ expectations, impersonal bureaucratic arrangements, perceived lack of alternatives, individual adjustments to social positions, and self-presentation concerns. We collected data from a representative sample (n = 242) of individuals granted with the French national student-entrepreneur status (NSES). Results froms hierarchical linear regressions reveal different patterns of side bets associated with entrepreneurial commitment, depending on its nature (value-based or exchange-based) and on its focus (the project or the profession). Our study (1) extends side-bet theory to the field of entrepreneurship and (2) improves understanding of factors associated with commitment during the volitional phase of the entrepreneurial process.

THE INFLUENCE MECHANISM OF SELF-LEADERSHIP ON ENTREPRENEURIAL RESILIENCE OF CHINESE AGRICULTURE ENTREPRENEURS

This study investigates how self-leadership influences entrepreneurial resilience among Chinese agricultural entrepreneurs. We constructed a theoretical model incorporating self-leadership, entrepreneurial identity, flow experience, perceived government entrepreneurial support, and entrepreneurial resilience, based on the Cognitive-Affective Personality System theory and self-leadership theory. We collected data through a questionnaire survey of 427 agricultural entrepreneurs and analyzed it using SPSS and AMOS. The findings indicate that: (1) self-leadership has a significant positive impact on entrepreneurial resilience, entrepreneurial identity, and flow experience; (2) entrepreneurial identity and flow experience play partial mediating roles between self-leadership and entrepreneurial resilience; and (3) perceived government entrepreneurial support positively moderates the relationships between entrepreneurial identity, flow experience, and entrepreneurial resilience. This study enriches the theoretical research in the field of agricultural entrepreneurship and provides practical guidance for enhancing the entrepreneurial resilience of agricultural entrepreneurs.

Dealing with Failure: The Media’s Portrayal of Entrepreneurs in Croatia

Entrepreneurship and stigma have been subjects of interest in various studies within the entrepreneurship field. The evidence suggests that societal stigma may lead to the stigmatization of entrepreneurs who have faced business failure, potentially influencing their strategic decisions and the likelihood of re-entry into entrepreneurship. Additionally, the liability of newness and the stigma of failure are critical factors that shape entrepreneurial dynamics and outcomes in different national contexts. The fear of societal judgment and negative perceptions can deter individuals from engaging in entrepreneurial activities, hindering entrepreneurial risk-taking and innovation, and limiting the growth and development of entrepreneurial ventures. The societal stigma associated with business failure in former socialist economies has been a significant factor influencing entrepreneurial activities in these regions. Research has indicated that socialist ideology historically stigmatized private proprietorship, associating it with negative connotations such as parasitism, exploitation, and profiteering. This lasting stigma has had implications for individuals pursuing entrepreneurial opportunities in post-socialist economies, impacting their perceptions and decisions regarding entrepreneurship. The transition from socialist planned economies to market-oriented systems has brought about changes in attitudes towards entrepreneurship. While socialist legacies may have initially influenced societal norms and perceptions of entrepreneurship, the emergence of market economies has led to a reassertion of entrepreneurship in these regions. Numerous studies indicate that the way media depicts entrepreneurs and their ventures plays a crucial role in shaping the attractiveness of entrepreneurship as a career choice and in developing social norms pertinent to the entrepreneurial spirit. In our research, we utilize qualitative content analysis to examine the representation of entrepreneurship, including the successes and failures of entrepreneurs, in Croatian media. The findings reveal a dominant adverse perception of entrepreneurship as a career in Croatia, with entrepreneurs frequently depicted as tycoons. Additionally, since the 1990s, entrepreneurs have faced stigma, and there appears to be no evident direction for improvement in this area.

How do Startups use AI? A Q-methodology approach to understanding adoption patterns.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) can move beyond mere task automation and can actively foster the very process of innovation. As startups are the organizational entities which rely heavily on creativity and innovation, it is intriguing to evaluate the use of AI in startups and in the entrepreneurship field. As AI is already becoming increasingly pervasive and indispensable in the startup ecosystem, the question arises, how exactly startups are using AI. We used the Q-methodology to investigate this topic empirically. This methodology was chosen because it combines the strengths of both qualitative and quantitative methods. The Q-samples (i.e., set of statements) were developed from secondary sources like literature and primary sources like interviews. In this context three in-depth-interviews with entrepreneurs were conducted to comprehensively cover the topic. The concourse comprised a set of 43 statements, that each provided one aspect of “How do startups use AI?”. The collection of the Q-Samples was then followed by the Q-sorting, in which participants were asked to rank the items according to their degree of agreement. In this study 30 entrepreneurs from different startups in Germany were interviewed. The interviews were conducted online via a video chat to give participants the chance to comment on their ranking. We used the QMethod Software for data collection and analysis. The research illuminates current AI practices among startups, identifies common fields and highlights areas for further development. The findings of this study reveal the prioritization of operational efficiency as the driving force behind AI implementation. However, it is quite concerning that ethical considerations are largely ignored, posing risks of potential ethical oversights in AI utilization. Furthermore, most startups see AI as a facilitator of human creativity rather than a replacement. Overall, this paper is relevant to a diverse audience interested in understanding the current landscape, challenges, and opportunities associated with the usage of AI technologies within the startup ecosystem. This audience includes entrepreneurs, investors, researchers, educators, and policy makers.
