The Effect of Entrepreneurial Ideas and Skills on the Intentions of Algerian University Students to Launch New Start-Ups

In the fast-paced and ever-evolving world of entrepreneurship, start-ups have become synonymous with innovation and limitless potential. One of the significant channels used to encourage them is investing in the capabilities and ideas of visionary youths and university students who are considered society’s elite. However, despite the Algerian economy’s shift towards supporting entrepreneurship, especially among students, there is limited entrepreneurial activity overall, particularly in innovative start-ups, which has remained notably low. This indicates less inclination toward launching new start-ups among the students. Thus, the primary objective of this research is to examine the role of entrepreneurial ideas (EID) and entrepreneurial skills (ESK) in influencing the intention to launch new start-ups (ILNS) in Algeria. A cross-sectional research design was employed, involving the distribution of a pre-designed questionnaire among students registered in Algerian universities. Data collection was conducted across all the regions of Algeria, yielding a total of 297 valid responses. Data was analyzed using Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) via Smart-PLS 4 software. The findings highlight significant correlations between EID, EKS, and ILNS. These outcomes furnish fresh insights into the significance of cultivating personal entrepreneurial competencies. Moreover, they shed light on the mechanisms for nurturing entrepreneurship and offer practical recommendations to bolster students’ capacities to launch new start-ups, thereby contributing to the local economy.

BUSINESS IDEA FOR SELF-EMPLOYMENT OF AN INDIVIDUAL ENTREPRENEUR

The authors assert that young people must initiate their own entrepreneurial ideas and develop a business plan to begin their employment journey. Motivated students can become individual entrepreneurs as early as sixteen years old. Knowing the key elements of their future activities can help entrepreneurs anticipate, analyze, monitor, and evaluate the success of their enterprise before executing their idea-project. A business plan allows for adjusting planned or actual indicators to achieve income. The development process of a business plan includes analyzing the enterprise’s market environment, assessing the target audience’s needs, new sait, determining the organizational structure, identifying financial risks, and estimating income and expenses. The primary obstacles to starting one’s own enterprise include the Russian-Ukrainian war and its consequences, reduced potential customers due to lower incomes, limited financial and credit resources, and high advertising and marketing costs. The authors calculated the costs of starting a business with four employees. The Silhouette studio’s operation shows that it requires expensive equipment and a long payback period for a small enterprise. Risks in this area include purchasing low-quality equipment, lack of funds for unforeseen expenses, poor quality of services, ineffective advertising campaigns, excessive rent increases, too many workshops in the market, and poor location choice. The industry’s unique feature is a relatively short production cycle of one to two months for manufacturing complex products, making it a profitable investment, especially for working capital, providing quick returns. The planned payback period for the Silhouette studio is two to three years of operation, but it may happen sooner. The enterprise’s profit depends on advertising coverage, the income of the local population, and other aspects that affect the enterprise’s profit. A tailoring and repair shop is a distinctive institution providing quick, efficient services tailored to individual or inclusive needs.

The Significance of Early Entrepreneurship Education in Bangladesh: An Investigation on Innokids as a Case Study

The magnificence of early entrepreneurship education is plummeting and attracting the attention of academia recently. It tries to infuse the idea of entrepreneurship that may enhance or assist youth in finding early employment. In this study, the researchers try to investigate the need for Early Entrepreneurial Education (EEE) in Bangladesh and search whether there are any available ventures that are educating or training our youth to get early employment. The primary objective of this study is to investigate the importance of creating a mindset of entrepreneurship from an early stage of life among Bangladeshi teens and tweens. Then they explore the academic pedagogy that is infused among the target cohort who are 10-16 years of age in Bangladesh. This research investigated these objectives by taking Innokids (an educational start-up thatfocuses on needed skills: life, soft, tech, and business skills and helps kids to be self-employed and be a kidspreneur) as a case study that is operating in Bangladesh to the same cohort. This research followed a Qualitative research approach and collected data from secondary sources where the data wereanalysed by Qualitative Content Analysis (QCA) and Ethnographic Analysis (EA). The findings were based on case analysis and were found that Innokids is creating behavioural intention among kids to be future entrepreneurs and the academic pedagogies and contents are realistically aligned with the change of their intention. Regarding limitations, this research had to use researchers’ ownjudgment and observation and had to rely mostly on secondary social media data. This research concludes with academic and industry contributions that further research should be done to see the impact (impact study) and suggests that Innokids may be adopted by stakeholders to create an impact to the community.

Start-ups in the Era of Digital Revolution: Factors that Shape the Intention to Launch a New One

Although we are in the heart of the digital revolution era, the original understanding of "start-up" as an enterprise in the early stage still dominated the literature. The vague understanding of the start-up concept led to a considerable misunderstanding, which may be misleading in exploring the launching phenomena. Despite this, fewer studies have addressed this issue and accurately understood it from conceptual or empirical perspectives. This paper aims to illustrate the definition of a start-up. After that, the authors utilised secondary data from the existing academic literature to develop a conceptual framework to understand individual and environmental factors' roles in the intention to launch a new start-up and suggest propositions for a future empirical test. The findings identified individual factors (entrepreneurial ideas, skills) that have remained unclear in the literature. Entrepreneurial ideas and skills can be fundamental in pushing individuals to be entrepreneurs. Moreover, university business incubators might introduce as a moderator; the arguments about their effect on personal and intellectual abilities remain unexplored very well. More inclusive conceptual perspectives are required to provide evidence crucial for developing and filling the existing gap. Based on the proposed framework, the authors encourage scholars to test its propositions empirically.

Rethinking skills development and entrepreneurship for refugees: The case of five refugee communities in India

This paper explores the understudied yet greatly relevant relationship between entrepreneurship and skills development for refugees in India from five different communities: Afghan, Rohingya, Tibetan, Chin, and Somali. Building on interviews, focus groups and participatory drawings from 66 refugees and staff respondents, it foregrounds the compounded interplay of skills development with intersectional oppression of refugees and their socio-political freedoms in navigating livelihoods and entrepreneurship avenues. By combining capabilities with intersectionality, the paper argues that the idea of entrepreneurship for refugees should seek to move beyond the neoliberal agenda of self-employment and self-reliance and towards well-being, social integration, and holistic development.

Reconciling theories on why employees of small firms are more likely to become entrepreneurs

Abstract A common finding in the literature on heterogeneity in entrepreneurial entry is that workers of small firms relative to large firms are more likely to become entrepreneurs (i.e., the “small firm effect”). Researchers disagree, however, on how to interpret this relationship, and in which contexts. A traditional argument is that work experience in small firms facilitates the acquisition of knowledge relevant to entrepreneurship, which, in turn, facilitates transitions into entrepreneurship. An alternative explanation argues that, at least in technical domains, the small firm effect derives from the potential for large firms to better integrate ideas internally (i.e., intrapreneurship). We inform this debate by leveraging a unique, nationally representative survey that provides rich details about the emergence of entrepreneurial ideas and their potential implementation inside vs. outside of firms. Consistent with the former explanation of the small firm effect, for the average worker, we find strong evidence that small firms (relative to large firms) are better at providing an environment that facilitates transitions to entrepreneurship. However, we also find that technical workers are more likely to attempt to implement ideas in larger firms relative to non-tech workers. Our results thus imply that while the traditional mechanism drives the small firm effect for non-tech workers, both mechanisms contribute to the effect for the tech workers, thus helping to reconcile competing explanations in prior studies. In addition to unpacking the drivers of the small firm effect, our study has broader implications for the recent discussion on the drivers of entrepreneurial dynamism.

Co-creation in entrepreneurship education: How autonomy support enhances the intention to develop entrepreneurial ideas

Co-creation involves giving students an active role in the design of entrepreneurial courses, with important consequences in terms of autonomy support and entrepreneurial intention. In study 1, we manipulated cocreation and hypothesized a positive influence on autonomy support and entrepreneurial intention. Results showed a positive influence of the experimental manipulation on entrepreneurial intention by increasing autonomy support. In study 2, we examined the relationships between autonomy support, satisfaction, curiosity, and entrepreneurial intention. Results showed positive relationships between autonomy support and class satisfaction, curiosity, and entrepreneurial intention. Class satisfaction and curiosity had positive relationships with entrepreneurial intention. The implications were discussed.

Generalización de los efectos de alineamiento y clasificación en educación secundaria: evaluación de la eficacia de una actividad para la promoción de la competencia emprendedora

The entrepreneurial initiative is considered a key competence to be developed in secondary education. However, research on the effectiveness of entrepreneurial exposure activities in adolescence still being scarce. The results can be misinterpreted if hidden effects such as sorting and alignment are not considered. The aim of this study is twofold. First, to test for the effectiveness of an entrepreneurial exposure activity developed in a Spanish secondary school. Second, to study the presence of sorting and alignment effects on adolescent population. A quasi-experimental design with a control group is conducted on 225 participant students, 158 were randomly assigned according to a cluster sampling to the intervention group (M=13.19±0.91 years old, ranging between 11 and 15; 57.6% boys) and 67 to the control (M=13.33±0.88 years old, ranging between 11 to 15; 59.7% boys). Relevant variables such as entrepreneurial intention, entrepreneurial self-efficacy, attitude towards entrepreneurship, subjective norm, psychological capital, prosocial behavior, and certainty about future studies choices were assessed pre and post-intervention. The entrepreneurship exposure activity involved six sessions where the students in teams were asked to develop an entrepreneurial idea that helps to solve a social problem. The results considering the group means only show statistically significant differences in attitudes towards entrepreneurship. The intervention acts as a buffer for the decline in this variable in the intervention group. Additionally, the analysis verified the generalizability of alignment and sorting effects while assessing entrepreneurial intention in entrepreneurship exposure activities with adolescents. Implications for other vocational orientation activities are discussed.

Crowdfunding as a Financing Alternative for Entrepreneurial Ventures

Abstract Entrepreneurs often use various sources of financing to finalise an entrepreneurial idea. Crowdfunding on specialised internet platforms is an alternative method for collecting funds from several small sources for business investments and projects. The biggest difference between crowdfunding and other forms of financing is that crowdfunding uses smaller amounts of money from many investors interested in a business idea. Crowdfunding has been globally known for over a decade, and in Croatia, the interest has been growing for several years. The paper aims to demonstrate the importance and potential of crowdfunding, which, as a collective micro-investment of citizens, can serve as an alternative funding source for entrepreneurial ventures. The paper presents the research results conducted in Croatia based on the data collected through survey research. The paper investigates the knowledge and familiarity with the term and motives for investing through crowdfunding platforms.

Halal Entrepreneurialism effect on Halal Food Industry Future in Ethiopia: Mediation role of Risk Propensity and Self Efficacy

As the Prophet and His followers engaged in it as a respectable vocation, the idea of entrepreneurship is not a novel one in Islam, as can be seen from history. To describe and distinguish entrepreneurs in the Halal market from those in other industries, Islamic economic researchers have recently coined the phrase "Halal entrepreneurship" or "Halalpreneurship." The incorporation of Islamic principles reshapes business owners in the Halal sector through specific characteristics that allow for the use of the terms "Halalpreneurs" and "Halalpreneurship." Only a few academic studies, though, have attempted to define Halalpreneurship. This chapter seeks to accomplish two key goals in this context. First, to give a thorough introduction to Halal entrepreneurship (Halalpreneurship) by highlighting the key characteristics that set it apart from other forms of entrepreneurship. Such comprehension and information will enable one to recognize his or her position as a Halalpreneur in the Halal sector. Second, to identify business prospects for Halalpreneurs in various Halal industrial areas around Ethiopia through self-efficacy and risk propensity. The chapter uses content analysis methods to accomplish its goals through reading research papers, books, journals, and articles from various secondary sources.

Humanistic approaches to change: Entrepreneurship and transformation

Social transformation is core to the idea of entrepreneurship, yet it plays a minor role in entrepreneurship research. We explore humanistic approaches to change by building on the Schumpeterian perspective of transformation/creative destruction and expanding it in three critical ways. First, we argue that entrepreneurship and history should engage methodologically with transformation ‘as a perspective’ taken by the researcher or observer. Second, we contend that to explore the process of entrepreneurial transformation historically, it is necessary to engage in a broader conceptualisation of temporality. Third, we posit that to fully grasp transformation, we ought to study not just the reconfiguration of material resources that Schumpeter has proposed but also the immaterial (intellectual and imaginative) re-evaluations that trigger social transformation, thus focussing on the semantics of transformation. The articles in this Special Issue explore entrepreneurship and transformation through these three lenses, making social transformation more central to historical entrepreneurship research.
