External factors in forming entrepreneurial intentions of Lomonosov Moscow State University students for 2020–2024

The implementation of «The Scientific and Technological Development Strategy of the Russian Federation» and national projects is impossible without an inflow of new entrepreneurs. Young people including students are most active in business creation among the entire Russian people. The object of this study is students’ entrepreneurial intentions, and the subject is external factors that influence its formation. The empirical basis is a survey of 1917 students from various faculties of Moscow State University who took courses on entrepreneurship and the creation of technological startups in the period of 2020-2024. We confirmed the connection of students' entrepreneurial intentions with the following factors: the presence of entrepreneurs in the family or in the surroundings, societal assessment of entrepreneurial career, the university environment and the direction of study. We find that the proportion of students who have opened or plan to open a business in the short term is higher among students who have entrepreneurs in their family or among friends. The number of students with entrepreneurs in their surroundings is increasing with each additional year of study. More than half of students positively perceive how the public assesses the choice of an entrepreneur's career, while the presence of entrepreneurs in surroundings significantly affects this perception. We reveal that the students studying in such areas as business and management, public administration and political science have the highest indicators of entrepreneurial intentions, with minimal indicators belonging to chemistry, law and economics. We determine which factors can be influenced to stimulate the entrepreneurial intentions implementation among students, who will have an important role in the development of technological entrepreneurship and commercialization of scientific developments in near future.

Wind, hydro and solar energy challenges for Technical Vocational and Training (TVET) electrical entrepreneur in Malaysia: A review

Renewable energy is one of the alternative energy resources in Malaysia to replace fossil fuel use, which is an important issue that needs to be established. Some of the possible renewable energy sources are wind, hydro and solar. Since 2019, various incentives announced by the Malaysian Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources (KeTSA) to enhance renewable energy development which is in line with Government Energy policy. However, today, in contrast to the participation of investors and international contractors, the presence of entrepreneurs and domestic workers in this sector is feeble. In this regard, the Technical Vocational and Training (TVET) institution is seen to have the potential to minimize this crisis by creating competent, skilled and competitive electrical entrepreneurs for the field of renewable energy. This paper explores the ability of TVET electrical entrepreneurs to participate in renewable energy businesses. Based on the literature on energy entrepreneur development, it was found that the TVET electrical entrepreneur faces four challenges, namely financial, technology costs, logistics and government support. The proposed future development of renewable energy is in Mini-hydro and solar photovoltaic (PV), while wind power does not seem viable to TVET electricity entrepreneurs.

Exploring the Asymmetric Cost Behavior in the Context of European Non-Listed Firms

This study provides international empirical evidence for the asymmetric cost behavior of the cost of goods sold and the operating expenses in the context of the European non-listed firms. We employ a data sample of 4,177,625 firm years observations from Amadeus Database for the period 2009-2017 to explore the asymmetric cost behavior phenomenon at the EU-28 countries pool and country level. Substantial variation in the direction of the asymmetric cost behavior, across countries and firm size clusters, is observed. However, in a considerable number of cases, the cost of goods sold and the operating expenses exhibit symmetric cost behavior. We conjecture that the reasons behind the observed pattern of asymmetric cost behavior in the organizational setting of non-listed firms are the relatively low availability of entrepreneurial economic resources and the presence of entrepreneurs which might affect the resource allocation decision-making process.

Entrepreneurship, Professionalism and Leadership Intention of Generation Z

Aim - This study aims to measure the level of entrepreneurship, professionalism, and leadership intention of the Z generation. This effort is to investigate whether the socio-demographic characteristics of the Z generation, such as gender, education level, work experience, family income level, the presence of entrepreneurs in the family, or the immediate vicinity, leading to significant differences on the levels of entrepreneurship, professionalism and leadership intention.
 Methodology – The simple random sampling method was used to collect data. A total of 563 questionnaires was collected for the study. The participants were mainly the students in high schools and vocational schools of higher education in the Adiyaman-Kahta district. SPSS 22.0 program was used to analyze the data set.
 Findings - Cronbach's alpha value of the scale of entrepreneurship, professionalism, and leadership intention was measured as 0.89. Moreover, non-parametric analysis methods were used to test the hypotheses of the study because the data did not show normal distribution (p <0.01). The hypotheses were analyzed with Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal Wallis H tests.
 Originality – The study will help the policymakers to develop projects and training programs to promote entrepreneurship in the generation Z and following generations.

A influência dos familiares empresários no potencial empreendedor dos estudantes

No passado recente, a família constituía-se como modelo motivacional para o potencial empreendedor dos seus descendentes. No período de pós-crise económica europeia, desconhece-se o seu papel. Este artigo visa analisar em que medida a presença de empresários na família influencia o potencial e as motivações empreendedoras dos seus descendentes.Uma amostra de 966 estudantes do Ensino Superior português respondeu ao inquérito Motivações Empreendedoras, que evidenciou adequadas propriedades psicométricas.Verificou-se uma influência positiva da presença de empresários na família nas motivações de realização familiar e societal, apesar de uma ausência de efeito nas motivações de recursos e rendimentos, bem como de prestígio e de aprendizagem/desenvolvimento pessoal.Ter empresários na família influenciou positivamente os fatores Judging Perceiving e Thinking Feeling do Carland Entrepreneurship Index. Contudo, a path analysis revelou a inexistência de um efeito direto da presença de empresários na família no potencial empreendedor e nas motivações de realização familiar e societal dos estudantes, apesar de se ter registado um efeito indireto significativo, tendo por mediadores o desejo dos estudantes em trabalhar por conta própria e a capacidade de criar uma empresa. Ter empresários na família evidenciou ainda um efeito direto nestes mediadores, bem como em ter/implementar ideias de negócio.

The evolution of regional cross-border water regimes, the case of Deltarhine

In this study, we look at the evolution of a cooperative water regime in the delta of the Rhine catchment. In a Dutch–German case study, we focus on cross-border cooperation on the local and regional scale, describing and analyzing how a remarkably resilient and robust transboundary water regime has evolved over the course of 50 years. Context-, interest- and knowledge-based explanations contribute important insights into the evolution of the Deltarhine regime, and it is shown that the legal, institutional and socio-economic context shapes and constrains regional cross-border cooperation. Surprisingly in this regard, we find that European water directives have not yet played a decisive, catalyzing role for policy harmonization across borders. Finally, we show that key individuals play a crucial role in regime formation and development. We suggest that the presence of entrepreneurs and leaders adds explanatory power to current conceptual frameworks in international river basin management, thus meriting further research.

Policy entrepreneurs in international river basins\u2014getting climate adaptation on the cross-border water policy agenda

In this study, we look at the role which water policy entrepreneurs play in promoting and stimulating climate adaptation measures in international river basins. In a Dutch-German case study in the Rhine delta, we explore the range of strategies that policy entrepreneurs employ in cross-border water management to effectively anchor and embed climate adaptation in the water policy debate.We focus on climate adaptation on the local and regional scale in the Deltarhine region where increased flooding and prolonged drought periods are expected under the current climate change scenarios with a considerable impact on flood protection, agricultural activities, drinking water and ecosystem development.We analyse the impact of policy entrepreneurs while coping with the challenging cross-border setting and dealing with structural differences in national systems such as the legal and institutional framework. It is shown that whilst the European water guidelines advocate a river basin approach across borders, the guidelines do not (yet) play a catalyst role regarding climate adaptation, and the presence and activities of policy entrepreneurs contribute in putting climate adaptation on the cross-border policy agenda.Finally, marked differences in the presence of entrepreneurs in Germany and the Netherlands are observed for which two important complementary explanations are offered relating to contextual elements of power asymmetry and dependency as well as different policy styles and organisational cultures in both countries.

Are Entrepreneurial Intentions Self-Regulated? Self-Consciousness, Core Self-Evaluations and Entrepreneurial Intentions of Higher Education Students.

The main aim of this study is to demonstrate that private self-consciousness (SC) and core self-evaluations (CSEs) influence their formation, via the perceived feasibility and desirability of entrepreneurship or in interaction with it. Two hundred and sixteen students, from a university, an engineering college and a management school, participated in a survey questionnaire which measured these variables as well as controlled factors (e.g. entrepreneurship education, presence of entrepreneurs in their close social network). The results confirm that CSEs have a positive effect on feasibility and desirability (p < .001) which mediate their effect on intention (p < .007). They also show that private SC has a positive direct effect on intention (p < .001). Additionally, the positive interaction effects of desirability and feasibility and public SC and feasibility on intention are highlighted (p < .05). Unexpectedly, none of the hypothesized moderation effects of private SC were corroborated. The convergence of these results with prior research, the limitations of the study and practical implications are discussed.

Business model innovation and owner–managers: the moderating role of competition

This study examines the relationship among owner–managers, business model innovation, and competition. We present a newly constructed dataset of 111 new firms that launched electronic trading platforms (business model innovations) in the US and European bond markets between 1995 and 2004. We contribute to the emerging literature on business model innovation by integrating effectuation theory with the Austrian school's view of competition as a discovery process to examine the role of the entrepreneur in business model design. Our findings reveal that the presence of entrepreneurs as owner–managers positively influences the degree of innovation: this relationship is stronger in less competitive environments but is weaker (and may even reverse) in highly competitive environments. We discuss implications for theory and for entrepreneurs in influencing the degree of business model innovation, and suggest future directions for research.

‘Information and Communication Technologies’ and entrepreneurial activity: drivers of economic growth in Europe

Innovation and entrepreneurial activities have become increasingly important elements for economic growth and are also decisive factors in a country's level of development. As regards the scope of this work, the European region as a whole occupies the top positions in most of the technological indicators. Entrepreneurial activity plays a significant role for the economy of a country owing, among other matters, to its effects on the labour market and economic growth. Apart from fomenting job creation, the presence of entrepreneurs may be related to the structure and performance of a country's economy. The main purpose of this work is to analyse what relationship exists between technological availability and the presence of entrepreneurs in European countries.

From the Boardroom to the Chamber: Business Interests and Party Politics in Mexico

One of the lesser-acknowledged conclusions from analyses of the third wave of democratization relates to the importance of conservatives to democratic consolidation. Yet we know very little about the way that such interests are incorporated into the formal, institutional arena of parties and elections – especially as relates to business interests. This is true in spite of a clear, cross-regional rise in the presence of entrepreneurs themselves in politics. This article generates and evaluates a set of expectations for the political behavior of business interests. I focus my empirical attention on Mexico, where such interests are historically speaking very well organized internally, and analyze the incorporation of business-association members into the parliamentary delegation of Mexico's three major political parties. I conclude by considering where we might look for the political mobilization of business interests in the interest of establishing a research agenda for the future.

The Relationship between Entrepreneurial Characteristics, Firms' Positioning and Local Development

This paper aims to explain how the presence of entrepreneurs' specific subjective characteristics can influence a firm's strategic orientation and, as a consequence, local development. By analysing several subjective characteristics taken from a sample of 101 successful entrepreneurs from southern Italy, certain issues emerge regarding the link between the economic performance of the ventures launched in this area and the weak level of growth. The research approach makes use of the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor conceptual model, which summarizes the major causal mechanisms affecting national economic growth.

Achievement Values of Filipino Entrepreneurs and Politicians

The presence of entrepreneurs is regarded as crucial to modernization and economic development-processes which, despite their complexity, must, in the final analysis, be regarded as the outcomes of human activity and decision making. As a prominent actor and decision maker, the enterpreneur has been the focus of a long tradition of multidisciplinary research. Much of this research has been directed toward a fundamental problem: Are there any that distinguish entrepreneurs from other people? The trend in recent years has been to approach the problem through country and area studies with particular emphasis on the elites of developing countries. My research belongs to this genre and was conducted in the Philippines between March and August of 1972. It deals with the perennial question of attributes but differs from most other studies by using a comparative approach. Samples of industrial entrepreneurs and elected politicians are compared and, from observed differences between these groups, inferences about entrepreneurial characteristics are made.
