Efforts to reduce the number of job seekers through entrepreneurship workshops and training on the production of tilapia fish crackers

The majority of Ngujungrejo residents earn their livelihoods through farming, primarily producing rice and various types of fish. They typically sell the fish fresh at nearby markets. However, they encounter challenges during periods of abundant harvests, as oversupply leads to price drops and the risk of fish spoilage, especially tilapia. Additionally, there has been a rise in the number of job seekers over the past three years. The goal of this initiative is to enhance residents' entrepreneurial skills and understanding while improving their ability to process harvests into higher-value products. Methods employed include surveys, entrepreneurship workshops, training sessions on producing tilapia fish crackers, and evaluation. The outcome of this effort has been a 60% increase in knowledge and understanding of entrepreneurship and a 75% improvement in skills related to tilapia fish production. This growth is anticipated to empower participants to establish home-based industries, consequently reducing the number of job seekers in the area.

Time to get your hands dirty: Bricolage or pro-organizational unethical response to entrepreneurial adversity

AbstractAs the business landscape escalates the level of uncertainty and thus profoundly disrupts entrepreneurship, it is crucial to understand risk-taking as a coping strategy for entrepreneurs with limited resources. Past studies have been fragmented: Some researchers have focused on creative risk-taking, whereas others have looked at unethical risk-taking. Little is known about how and when entrepreneurs respond to adversity in either a creative or an expedient manner. We posit that entrepreneurs respond to adversity by using either entrepreneurial bricolage behavior (EBB) or unethical pro-organizational behavior (UPB). Drawing from the emotivational account, we develop each theoretical model of bricolage and UPB to better understand how entrepreneurs’ emotional states play a critical role in their reactions to adversity. We theorize that, and test whether, entrepreneurial adversity is positively related to EBB and increase in EBB over time through increased interest when trait resilience is high. Also, we conceptualize and examine whether entrepreneurial adversity is positively related to UPB and increase in UPB over time through increased anger when trait resilience is low. We conducted a five-month longitudinal study of 100 entrepreneurs (482 observations). Our findings largely corroborated the hypotheses. Our study advances our understanding of entrepreneurs’ risk-taking by showing when and how they respond creatively or unethically.

Empowering Young Entrepreneurs: Practical Learning Initiatives in Primary Education

The output of this service shows that the lecture session succeeded in increasing students' understanding of the world of entrepreneurship, while the practice of making small parcels provided direct experience in applying these concepts. The exhibition of student work reveals originality in selecting local materials, helping the local economy, and exploring creative potential in business procedures. Apart from having a good influence on children, strong collaboration between schools, teachers and the surrounding community has also been successful. The complete study shows that the success of this service has helped encourage students' enthusiasm to continue exploring their entrepreneurial potential. The results of this service show that a holistic approach through a combination of lectures and practice of making micro parcels has a good impact on students' understanding of entrepreneurship. However, to ensure sustainability and sustainable growth, follow-up action is needed in the form of building an entrepreneurship program that is integrated into the curriculum and forming small groups to encourage student interest. Thus, this abstract illustrates the effectiveness of this service in arousing curiosity and entrepreneurial creativity at SDN Kuala Geulumpang students, with the aim of being able to make a good contribution to the development of their character and talents in the future.

Entrepreneurship in constrained immigration contexts – the liminal integration of Syrian refugees

ABSTRACT Drawing on a qualitative study of Syrian refugees in constrained immigration contexts in the North of England, this article explores refugees’ perceptions of integration and social exclusion through entrepreneurship. By exploring refugee experiences as they engage in entrepreneurship programmes or business start-ups, our findings highlight a divide among refugees with the means to start-up businesses successfully and those without. The article contributes to understanding entrepreneurship as a tool for refugees that indicates dyadic outcomes of idiosyncratic integration among equipped refugees and liminal integration among vulnerable refugees. The article extends our appreciation of the nuance in entrepreneurship, and develops liminality debates by stressing the transformative nature of refugee journeys that involve cross-domain transitions characterized by multiple separations. We call for the acknowledgement of refugee heterogeneity in neoliberal economies in ways that encompass holistic views of integration beyond the current focus on economic contributions at the expense of all else.

Social cognitive career theory and higher education students’ entrepreneurial intention: The role of perceived educational support and perceived entrepreneurial opportunity

PURPOSE: This study aims to integrate insights from the Socio-Cognitive Career Theory (SCCT) and entrepreneurship literature to develop a research framework of how perceived entrepreneurial opportunities (PEO) and perceived educational support (PES) shape the progression of entrepreneurial self-efficacy (ESE) and entrepreneurial career interests (ECI). Additionally, this study investigates whether ECI mediates the effects of PEO and PES on entrepreneurial intention (EI) and how PEO and PES moderate the effects of ESE and ECI on EI. METHODOLOGY: A sample of 888 university students was recruited from Vietnam. Cronbach’s alpha and confirmatory factor analyses were adopted to test the reliability and validity of the scales. Structural equation modeling (SEM) is then used to test formulated hypotheses. FINDINGS: The current study demonstrates that ESE and ECI directly trigger EI. Although PES and PEO did not directly impact EI, their influence on EI was mediated through ESE and ECI. In addition, PEO was found to act as a positive catalyst for the transformation of ESE and ECI into EI. The greater the entrepreneurial opportunities students perceive, the more likely they are to convert ESE and ECI into intentions to become entrepreneurs. IMPLICATIONS: This study makes a significant contribution by emphasizing the relevance of the SCCT framework in understanding entrepreneurship and brings to the forefront the role of PES and PEO in shaping the progression of ESE, ECI and, ultimately, EI. In addition, the findings of this study provide practical implications for nascent entrepreneurs, entrepreneurship educators, and policymakers. ORIGINALITY AND VALUE: This study is one of the first to investigate the role of PEO and PES in the development of Vietnamese students’ SES, ECI and, ultimately, their intention to engage in entrepreneurship.

Entrepreneurial Learning: Creating Value towards Social Justice

Economic equality contributes towards social justice through equal access to opportunities for employment, income generation, or starting businesses. Entrepreneurship is often viewed as the panacea for job creation and reducing unemployment. Entrepreneurship education, therefore, supports the development and expansion of learners’ knowledge and understanding of entrepreneurship. The notion is that when more learners opt to become entrepreneurs, economic inequality will be reduced. Entrepreneurship education continues to be studied for its contribution towards attaining social justice through economic equality. Recent literature, however, indicates a notable shift towards embracing a broader perspective of entrepreneurship education rather than only lauding it for its economic value creation. Numerous contemporary publications use the term entrepreneurial learning rather than entrepreneurship education. This shift emphasises the role of learners to learn self-directedly so as to think entrepreneurially or behave in an entrepreneurial manner rather than educators teaching them to “become entrepreneurs” (i.e., starting a business). Entrepreneurial learning intends to benefit not only the entrepreneurship learner but also purposefully endeavours to create value for others. The current conceptual paper focuses on this broader value-creation purpose of entrepreneurial learning and how this different view can contribute to attaining social justice if embedded in the South African school curriculum using a socio-constructivist theoretical framework. Conceptual recommendations are made for the optimal construction of entrepreneurial learning in upcoming curriculum adaptations to buttress its broader value-creation purpose in support of social justice.

Back From the Dead: Exploring the Tension Between Imagination and Custodianship in Revenant Organizations

Organizational actors often look to the past to revive practices of the past. A growing body of research suggests that there is opportunity in the past and highlights how dormant or declining industries have been revitalized. We take this line of research a step further by examining how entrepreneurs (reanimators) revive long-since-failed organizations (revenants), a process we refer to as reanimation. Thus, rather than create a “new” venture, many entrepreneurs are turning to revive defunct or “dead” organizations. On the one hand, the act of reviving a dead organization suggests that reanimators perceive value in the failed organization's past; otherwise, why not start something new? On the other hand, theory predicts organizational actors might likely avoid such associations with the past since they are rooted in failure. As such, understanding what elements of an organization's past an entrepreneur retains or discards and how organizational leaders successfully reanimate failed firms is critical to our understanding of entrepreneurship and tradition. During this reanimation process, we observe a fundamental tension between imagination and custodianship. We find that the entrepreneur's ability to resist the urge to leverage their imagination through innovation and instead act as a custodian by honoring the past influences the organization's prospects for survival post-reanimation. Our theorizing offers guidance for understanding the inherent tensions between innovation and tradition in firms with rich histories, the potential downsides of unchecked imagination, and the importance of gaining stakeholder acceptance before exercising the authority to innovate.

Shaping contexts through entrepreneurship: a micro-historical analysis of Hongbang entrepreneurs in China (1896-1949)

Purpose The purpose of this study is to address a significant gap in the understanding of entrepreneurship at the microfoundation level. It focuses on how individual entrepreneurs, specifically Hongbang entrepreneurs in China from 1896 to 1949, shape and transform their contexts. The aim is to provide a deeper understanding of the mechanisms that facilitate entrepreneurial success. Design/methodology/approach The study adopts a microhistorical approach, investigating the case of Hongbang entrepreneurs in China during 1896-1949. It involves an in-depth examination of historical records to explore the strategic interactions between these entrepreneurs and core stakeholders such as consumers, financial intermediaries, government regulators, and human resources. The research methodology emphasizes a process-oriented view, examining the evolution of personalized networks into extensive connections. Findings The research reveals that Hongbang entrepreneurs successfully reshaped their unfavorable embedded contexts by strategically collaborating with key stakeholders. They influenced consumer tastes, allied with financial intermediaries, negotiated with governments on regulation policies, and developed human resource stocks. The transformation was facilitated by the evolution of their networks from personalized to extensive connections. These findings highlight the localized strategies such as cronyism in resource acquisition within China’s private property development industry. Originality/value This study contributes to the field by offering insights into entrepreneurial contextualization and networking. It sheds light on the complex interplay between entrepreneurs and their contexts, providing a nuanced understanding of localized strategies in the Chinese context. The findings add value to the discourse on entrepreneurship by elucidating the strategic and processual acts through which entrepreneurs engage with stakeholders and reshape their environments.

Personal Characteristics and Strategic Entrepreneurial Behaviour of Rural Female Entrepreneurs: Insights From Oman

This study delves into the impact of personal traits on rural female entrepreneurship within family-owned enterprises. We investigate how rural female entrepreneurs strategically navigate their businesses, taking into account market conditions, technical aspects, financial considerations, operational challenges, organizational dynamics, and innovation factors. Employing a mixed-method approach, we collected quantitative data from 183 formal and informal rural female entrepreneurs using a semi-structured questionnaire available in both English and Arabic, utilizing snowball sampling. Through Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA), we identified strategic objectives, and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) assessed the alignment of the proposed approach with the data sample. Additionally, we present six brief case studies based on interviews with female entrepreneurs to gain insights into how personal traits influence strategic entrepreneurial behaviour. Our findings highlight the significant influence of age and education on the strategic goals, motivation, and decision-making of rural female entrepreneurs. This research has broader implications for policymakers and stakeholders, offering insights into encouraging inclusive and sustainable female entrepreneurship in diverse rural contexts. By recognizing the relationship of personal attributes and institutional forces, this study contributes to our understanding of entrepreneurship in a dynamic and culturally rich environment, ultimately contributing to socioeconomic development in Oman and beyond.

Neuroanatomy of Entrepreneurship and Bibliometric Analysis of Studies with Vosviewer

Entrepreneurship has been at the focus of many scientists doing research in the field of social sciences. Studies have focused on entrepreneurial intention, entrepreneurial disposition and entrepreneurial behavior. Generally, empirical methods have been used in studies, but the neurophysiological, neuropsychological and psychoneuroendocrinological reasons behind the individual's entrepreneurship have been neglected. In short, genetic factors, hormones, behavioral genetic factors related to the individual's being an entrepreneur were not taken into account in the studies. However, with the use and development of neuroscience methods, tools and approaches in different fields, the opportunities offered by neuroscience in research on entrepreneurship in the field of Social Sciences have recently begun to be utilized. This has facilitated the neuroanatomical examination of entrepreneurial individuals. Entrepreneurship research focuses on the individual's family, environmental, social and educational interactions. In order for entrepreneurship to be understood in a multidimensional way, it is necessary to consider human behavior in terms of genetic transfers, hormones, behavioral genetics and the interactions of these factors with each other. For this reason, studies on the concepts of "entrepreneurship and neuroscience", "entrepreneurship and genetics", "entrepreneurship and biology" and "neuroentrepreneurship" gain importance. The aim of this study is to provide information about the neuroscience methods, tools and approaches used in entrepreneurship research, to make a detailed bibliometric analysis of the researches, to identify the trends and gaps related to the mentioned concepts and to bring them to the attention of researchers and to make suggestions about what should be done in future studies. Since a better understanding of entrepreneurial thought, intention and behavior will contribute to the development of entrepreneurship, mapping the studies in the literature in terms of the neuroanatomy of entrepreneurship and analyzing them within the scope of quantitative data makes the study unique. The study consists of five parts. In the first part of the study, studies carried out for a better understanding of entrepreneurship in terms of neurophysiology, hormones and genetics are given by making use of neuroscience methods, tools and approaches in the literature. In the second part, neuroscience tools, methods and approaches used in entrepreneurship research are explained. In the third part, the method of the research and in the fourth part, the bibliometric analysis findings are given. In the last part, the discussion and conclusion, the deficiencies identified in the field and recommendations for future studies are made. As the analysis unit, bibliometric data of different types of papers scanned in the Web of Science (WoS) database and published between 2006 and 2023 was taken as a basis. As a result of the research, 379 publications related to the words "entrepreneurship" and "neuroscience" were identified and the most studied 260 of them were neuroscience, neurology, 53 business economics and 47 mathematical computational biology. 346 publications on "entrepreneurship" and "genetics" have been identified and the most studied 146 of them are genetic inheritance, 44 are biochemistry, molecular biology and 35 are business economics. 183 publications on “entrepreneurship” and “biology” were found, 58 of which were studied the most, multidisciplinary sciences, 55 related to genetic inheritance and 44 of them related to business. Within the scope of the study, only 9 publications related to "neuroentrepreneurship", which are directly related to entrepreneurship and neuroscience, were identified in the Web of Science (WoS) database. In the last part, discussion and conclusion, what needs to be done in entrepreneurship research and suggestions are presented.

Educators' conceptualization of entrepreneurship in Omani entrepreneurship education practice

The delivery of entrepreneurship education can present a challenge for educators unfamiliar with entrepreneurship and the entrepreneurial process in practice. It is not uncommon for educators to be pushed toward teaching entrepreneurship, despite having limited or no personal experience of entrepreneurship. This is commonly the case in Oman, which has introduced mandatory entrepreneurship classes for all higher education students as a part of the Oman 2040 vision, which seeks to increase the level of entrepreneurship within the country. Arising from this, there is the potential for a disconnect between educators’ discourse and conceptualization of entrepreneurship in their teaching practice and the actual practice of entrepreneurship. This research explores how Omani educators conceptualize entrepreneurship in their delivery of entrepreneurship education, through 80 hours of ethnographic observation of two mandatory online entrepreneurship education classes in Oman, delivered during the COVID-19 pandemic. The findings highlight that the educators conceptualized entrepreneurship as the process of business creation, a central pillar of economic growth, a linear process, and as a career. These conceptualizations underpin a classical and narrow view of entrepreneurship. Identifying educators’ conceptualization and understanding of entrepreneurship within their teaching practice can highlight potential misalignment between entrepreneurship as it is taught, and how it is practiced.

Coastal Resource-Based Entrepreneurship: A Strategy to Improve the Quality of Life of Coastal Area Communities

This research is a descriptive qualitative research using observation, interview and documentation data collection. The research subject is the community of Untia Fishermen Village in Makassar City, totaling 5 informants who have various incomes ranging from agriculture, fisheries and marine potential in Untia Fishermen Village. The results showed that coastal communities need knowledge and understanding of entrepreneurship and how to process coastal resources. The process of community empowerment through coastal resource-based entrepreneurship training in accordance with the empowerment stage, namely the stages of training implementation, namely planning, counseling, coastal resource-based entrepreneurship training activities, mentoring and evaluation. Supporting factors such as the positive response of the community, adequate natural potential as the main raw material and support from the government, while the inhibiting factors for empowerment through manufacturing training are lack of capital, packaging equipment is still rarely sold, and the community has not been able to optimize the training process and has not been able to manage time. Hopefully, coastal resource-based entrepreneurship is an emerging concept as a potential solution for wise management of coastal natural resources with the aim of maintaining the sustainability of natural resources and the environment, while increasing the income and quality of life of coastal communities.

Game design as reflective pedagogy in entrepreneurship education

The relationship between business education and games, primarily simulation games, dates to the 1930s in Europe and the 1950s in the US and continues to grow today. These games are often used to teach action-oriented disciplines, such as marketing, strategy, and entrepreneurship, providing situations in which decision-making under risky circumstances can be practiced. Our research shifts the focus from playing games to designing them for learning. Our game design activity brings the ambiguity and uncertainty from the entrepreneurial environment into the classroom, where risks can be taken, and failure is part of the experience. Students dive into an iterative design process grounded in inquiries and investigations. This requires communication and negotiation skills, aiming to construct dynamic business representations in constant conversation with the situation. Although students' lack of professional experience and game design knowledge poses challenges, the design activity uncovers many learning possibilities and discoveries. Our pedagogical approach attempts to embrace constructionists’ learning characteristics by using a board game to mediate the design process, besides the gameplay. Students' designs should not only reflect their problem-solving experiences, identities, and understandings, but also construct meaning through conceptualizing business interpretations as game elements, mechanics, and rules. Through observations in university classroom settings (Canada, France, and Brazil), we present examples of students' game designs and how they interpreted entrepreneurial challenges through their designs. By employing design thinking to create conceptual representations in a meaningful game, they showed their understanding of entrepreneurship, worldviews, and contextual knowledge grounded in their sociocultural contexts. A board game became a tool that embodied design possibilities based on low-cost resources and was used in classrooms without computers, internet access, or other technical devices. A board game provides an inclusive and immersive learning experience that supports better conceptual understandings of systems, such as entrepreneurial activity. This research contributes not only to understanding the role of board games in business education (in contrast with prevalent digital simulation games) but also motivates the next generation of entrepreneurial educators to experiment with novel teaching methods.

FACTORS OF HAPPINESS WILL AFFECT UNDERSTANDING OF ENTREPRENEURSHIP EDUCATION AMONG STUDENTS IN SECONDARY SCHOOL

Entrepreneurship education is not only fostered at the tertiary level institutions but it has also been nurtured as early as the secondary school level in Malaysia. Regarding the awareness of the importance of entrepreneurship education, Malaysia have implemented subjects with elements of entrepreneurship in its education system, such as subjects’ accounting and business subjects. Therefore, this study proposes profiling those who are already taken the subject in school and examining the factors of understanding entrepreneurship education will reflect the level of happiness in their studies. A sample of 266 students from 13 secondary schools in Northern Malaysia are involved in this study The study’s findings indicate that more than half students understand and are happy with the entrepreneurial learning they have received and view business as an opportunity to involved.

Sosialisasi Etika Berwirausaha Islami di Era Covid-19:

The Covid-19 pandemic has an impact on all aspects of people's lives, including the economic aspect. Among the effects of the Covid-19 Pandemic felt by most people in terms of the economy are; income decreased until they were forced to lose their jobs. In difficult conditions like this, not a few people are trying to make ends meet without paying attention to ethics. This is due to the pressure of difficult circumstances and the absence of an understanding of the importance of applying Islamic ethics in work and/or entrepreneurship. The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic was also felt by the majority of residents of Central Dibal, Dibal Village, Ngemplak District, Boyolali Regency. In order to anticipate various unethical actions in work and entrepreneurship, it is necessary to socialize about Islamic entrepreneurship ethics. The aim is to educate the public about the importance of ethical principles of Islamic entrepreneurship, especially in unfavorable circumstances as a result of the Covid-19 Pandemic. This socialization activity was carried out using the lecture method from the resource persons and continued with questions and answers and discussions. Residents of Central Dibal feel a number of benefits from the implementation of this community service activity. Among the benefits obtained are; (1) people get comprehensive knowledge about ethics in doing business or entrepreneurship in an Islamic way; (2) the public is aware of the importance of understanding entrepreneurship in an Islamic way in order to avoid sustenance that is not blessed; (3) the community feels the importance of applying Islamic entrepreneurship ethics in various conditions, even though the economic conditions are difficult in the midst of the Covid-19 Pandemic that hit.

Enterprise and entrepreneurship in peripheral contexts: experiences and prospects from the caribbean small island developing states

The transformative effect of entrepreneurship has been well-documented. Indeed, entrepreneurship has been linked to the growth and prosperity of nations, contributing to the sustainable development of various sectors. Developments globally have seen growing attention to the transformational effect of entrepreneurship and its potential in developing and emerging contexts. However, while many experiences have been covered, those of some developing and emerging contexts have received far less attention. Among these under-covered contexts is that of Caribbean Small Island Developing states (SIDS). It is important to note that the development of entrepreneurship as a field can benefit from a broader understanding of more contexts. This special issue is an opportunity to advance understanding of and the dimensions of entrepreneurship in a largely grey area in the literature, the Caribbean Region. This maiden paper plays a strategic role in situating the papers which follow in a larger body of research and practice relating to entrepreneurship with a focus on the Commonwealth Caribbean SIDS. Perhaps more importantly, the approach is not simply to introduce the papers but more strategically to provide rich contextual material on the quality of entrepreneurship in the region, which then forms the backdrop for the remaining papers. A comprehensive over-view of entrepreneurship is offered, alongside a discussion of some of the historical and contemporary developments, while highlighting the specific character of entrepreneurship in a region that is largely shaped by forces which have in many ways rendered it peripheral to development. Even so, the approach is not pessimistic. As such the paper ends with a demonstration of how an understanding of entrepreneurship in the Caribbean can contribute to and inform the development of practice and theorising, more generally, including advancing an understanding of developments not just in entrepreneurship but in the broader field of International Business. Indeed, the experiences of under[1]covered regions such as these are useful in that they offer novel testing ground for emerging theories and assumptions and can make relevant contributions to the development of entrepreneurship as a still emerging field of research.
