Online business: ambitious daughters and their suspicious career in China?

Purpose Online business can be an attractive career choice but bears gendered implications under China’s market economy. This study aims to examine how highly educated young women negotiate their career choice of online business, given their enhanced career ambitions and the persisting conservative views of their parents. It is to be examined how these factors interact in shaping women’s strategies and commitment to their nonconventional careers. Design/methodology/approach The study draws on 23 interviews with 18 women involved in online business. The interviews were coded by themes about how women perceive and make career choices to enter online business, the influence of various motivations (e.g., economic security, decency, autonomy and earning potential) and women’s interactions with their parents under gendered social expectations. The study analyzes and categorizes women’s varied strategies and levels of commitment in taking up online business, an attractive but suspicious career for highly educated young women. Findings The study finds that some women chose to conduct online business as a secondary job behind their stable and formal primary job; their compromise under parents’ preferences and social expectations as “compliant daughters,” willingly or forced, coexisted with their persisting interest in online entrepreneurship. Other women, or “self-determined daughters,” embraced online business as their primary job; some benefited from parents’ tolerant views, but others needed to handle the pressure of parental disapproval by hiding or proving their nonconventional career choices worthwhile. Originality/value This study speaks to the gendered opportunity-necessity framework of entrepreneurship by illustrating women’s multiple motivations in China’s market reforms and the rising online entrepreneurship dynamics. The findings contextualize women’s career choices in different family dynamics and suggest how social expectations and gender norms are imposed and transformed, with a focus on the shifting gendered concerns of opportunity, security and decency in an era of digital economy.

Reclaiming employment: A pilot study of online entrepreneurship training for individuals with psychiatric disabilities

BACKGROUND: Many individuals with psychiatric disabilities face workplace challenges that motivate them to pursue self-employment, but accessible self-employment support is lacking. Using participatory action research, Reclaiming EmploymentTM (RE), an online interactive platform that provides self-employment education for people who experience mental health-related challenges around work, was developed to address these gaps. OBJECTIVE: An observational pilot study of RE examined usage, usability, self-efficacy, and self-employment income. METHODS: Participants (N = 97) used RE for six months; survey data was collected at three timepoints to measure entrepreneurial self-efficacy (ESE) and income generated from self-employment. Usability was assessed post-intervention using the System Usability Scale. RESULTS: More than 70% of participants used RE; there was no association between non-usage and demographic characteristics, nor prior use of other self-employment supports. RE users rated the platform at above average usability, although those who experienced long-term unemployment rated the platform significantly lower compared to wage or self-employed users. In longitudinal regression models, we found use of RE was significantly associated with increases in some ESE subscales and mean ESE. Use of RE was not associated with gains in income. CONCLUSION: This pilot study demonstrates acceptability, feasibility, and preliminary effectiveness of an online entrepreneurship training for individuals with psychiatric disabilities.

Can gamified online training make high school students more entrepreneurial? Experimental evidence from Rwanda

We study the short-run effects of a gamified online entrepreneurship training offered to high school students in Rwanda during the COVID-19 pandemic. Using a randomized controlled trial, we estimate sizeable effects of the 6-week training on entrepreneurial activity. One month after the training, participants in schools offered the training were much more likely to own a business than participants in control schools. The training induced students to participate more actively in their school’s business club, to undertake more business-oriented actions, to improve their business practices, and to interact more with other youth and family members about their business ideas. We hypothesize that the training motivated treated students to sustain their business activities during the COVID-19 crisis.

Online entrepreneurship teaching and learning approaches: A South African conceptual perspective

In this conceptual paper, we review literature on entrepreneurship education with the aim of determining viable approaches for teaching entrepreneurship using online platforms. We discuss existing studies on constructivism as a theoretical framework and examine how entrepreneurship education can be offered through online teaching, as well as the effectiveness and the design of online teaching for entrepreneurship education. We used a conceptual analysis methodology and also conducted a library search to examine previous pertinent literature on online entrepreneurship education. Our findings indicate that online entrepreneurship education should be grounded in constructivism as a learning theory. Additionally, during online entrepreneurship learning, lecturers should introduce and explain new concepts by using students' prior knowledge and should assign practical and experiential tasks. Our findings also show that online activities should allow students to interpret and assimilate new knowledge, and that online entrepreneurship modules should incorporate learning by doing and experiential learning. Lecturers should also provide feedback as part of online entrepreneurship learning and, at the end of such learning, lecturers should assign online questions that provide an opportunity for students to reflect on their learning and knowledge.

Innovative Solutions for the Formation of Personnel Security of Online Entrepreneurship

The aim of the article is to study the list of innovative solutions for the formation of personnel security of online entrepreneurship. The article analyzes the current state of conditions and features of the formation of personnel security for online entrepreneurship in Ukraine. The relevance of online entrepreneurship for Ukrainian enterprises is substantiated, indicating both the advantages and disadvantages. A definition of online entrepreneurship has been proposed, its types have been considered. Innovative solutions for the formation of personnel security in online entrepreneurship reflect constant changes in the modern business environment and require an integrated approach to ensuring the efficiency and stability of activities. In the contemporary online enterprises, it is necessary to implement leading digital personnel management systems, which will allow you to effectively monitor work processes and ensure control over access to confidential information. Such systems will also help increase the level of cybersecurity and decrease data leakage, reducing risks for the organization. Active implementation of artificial intelligence and data analysis in the practical activities of organizations allows you to predict risks in the field of personnel relations, identify possible threats and take timely measures to prevent them. Machine learning algorithms can detect unusual patterns or activities that may indicate possible security threats, such as unauthorized access or cyberattacks. In addition, conducting specialized online courses and trainings on cybersecurity and the use of remote work for staff are key elements of ensuring personnel security. Increasing the level of staff awareness of these issues helps to avoid unforeseen situations and ensure the stable operation of the enterprise in the online environment. This approach reduces the risk of leakage of confidential information and ensures security for both the company and its customers. Prospects for further research in this direction are to determine the degree of the most innovative solutions for the formation of personnel security of online entrepreneurship, and at the conceptual level there is a need to closer define some concepts and their logical use in practice. Further development of innovative solutions can lead to an increasingly creative approach to the formation of personnel security of online entrepreneurship.

Rethinking Entrepreneurial Education: The Role of Digital Technologies to Assess Entrepreneurial Self-Efficacy and Intention of STEM Students

The COVID-19 pandemic imposed restrictions and social distancing requirements that limited face-to-face education. However, the challenge of continuing studies, albeit in an online environment, promoted the redesign of teaching models, thanks to the availability of digital technologies such as MOOCs, gamification, and digital platforms. The aim of this study is to analyze if students' entrepreneurial self-efficacy and intention can be achieved through an online designed and delivered entrepreneurial course, as in face-to-face entrepreneurial education, and whether digital technologies are helpful in pursuing this goal. Data from a sample of 210 engineering students enrolled in an online entrepreneurship course having a duration of 16 weeks revealed a positive impact of digital technologies adoption on students' self-efficacy and intention in launching a novel entrepreneurial venture. Practical implications concern insights about entrepreneurship education programs’ learning strategies that need to be redesigned, with the adoption of ad hoc digital tools to support projects and business plan development. Finally, the study proposes managerial and policy implications for improving the inclusion of digital tools for enhancing University students' entrepreneurship education in the digital era.

Does the face expression recognition model under the online entrepreneurial education model important for deep learning technologies and entrepreneurial emotions?

AI's rapid development has already affected the economy and society, and it might revolutionize how goods and services are manufactured and categorized. This affects the country's production, employment rate, and competitiveness. This research aims to determine how emotions (good and negative) impact deep learning technologies and company startup intentions. The research also examined how emotion recognition influences online entrepreneurship education and how deep learning and entrepreneurship are connected. In conclusion, the research is one of the pioneering efforts that provides a comprehensive grasp of deep learning and facial recognition in entrepreneurship. 78 of the 650 replies were insufficient, according to the statistics. Some individuals constantly picked 3, while others submitted blank questionnaires. The answer is inadequate. 572 surveys were utilized for the study. Positive emotions affect the urge to establish a company, according to the research. People who are generally happy may be able to develop their entrepreneurial expertise and be more driven to behave entrepreneurially. Positive and negative emotions have a significant impact on the deep learning technology and entrepreneurial intention connection. The findings imply that individuals who often experience pleasant emotions may be better able to improve their entrepreneurial cognition and, as a consequence, their drive to engage in entrepreneurial activity. The facial recognition model in entrepreneurship significantly moderates the relationship between deep learning technology and entrepreneurial intention (=0.262, p 0.001); hence, hypotheses 6, 7, and 8 are validated. This provides support for the hypothesized results, claiming that facial recognition plays a significant role in determining the relationship between deep learning technology and entrepreneurial intention. The results would be significant for university students, academicians, and policymakers as they seek to link practices and outcomes. The study is among the pioneers on issues related to deep learning mechanisms in eastern China.
