Title: Intrapreneurial intentions of undergraduate university students: a comparative study between Spanish and Nicaraguan students
Abstract:
Higher education is currently facing several challenges as a result of an uncertain environment. This has led to a demand from organisations for employees with an entrepreneurial, innovative, and risk-taking profile in a global environment. These traits are characteristic of the so-called intrapreneurs. This paper compares the intrapreneurial intentions of university students in Spain and Nicaragua by analysing the effect of the variables age, gender, previous professional experience and entrepreneurial or intrapreneurial training. Based on a total sample of 474 students, among the main results, we highlight the fact that Nicaraguan students have a higher assessment of innovation and risk-taking than Spanish students. In addition, age and professional experience are common variables that improve innovation and risk-taking for both groups. Although there is no gender gap among Nicaraguan students, in Spanish students women are rated lower than men.

Title: Crafting future entrepreneurs from emerging adults: what matters more - personality or context?
Abstract:
This paper analyses the effects of an integrated set of factors - personality traits and contextual variables on the entrepreneurial intention (EI) of emerging adults. Data were analysed with confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) for evaluating the model and stepwise multiple regression analysis for hypotheses testing. The key personality trait variable associated with the intent of emerging adults to open a business in future is the internal locus of control. (LOC) Two additional variables with significant association with EI are contextual variables: perceived barriers (PB) (a negative association) and perceived support factors (PS) (a positive association). Contrary to other studies, the authors did not find risk-taking propensity (RTP) to be associated with EI. This calls for additional research. The increase in emerging adults' social inclusion through self-employment is of great importance, so policymakers and the scientific community should search for the underlying factors that promote or hinder the entrepreneurial intentions of these young people.

Title: Culture and education as factors affecting entrepreneurship in Spain: an analysis of expert opinion
Abstract:
This article focuses on the Spanish context, which is characterised by high rates of unemployment and social exclusion, in which entrepreneurship can drive innovation and economic growth. The objective was to analyse culture and education as factors affecting entrepreneurship from expert opinion on the subject. The study used the most recent data on Spain in the global entrepreneurship monitor (GEM) database. Following a descriptive analysis, quantitative analyses were performed using non-parametric tests. The results indicated that the experts were not optimistic that culture or education were factors that would encourage entrepreneurship. Our findings support the view that the evaluation of entrepreneurship is affected by variables such as gender, the type of degree obtained, and professional area. The findings of the study indicate the need to reinforce entrepreneurship education and training (EET) in order to compensate for social inequalities that affect the decision to start a business venture.

Title: Re-thinking human capital acquisition for entrepreneurship: a holistic multidimensional approach
Abstract:
Given the substantial interest around the study of entrepreneurship, understanding the intricate network of factors that explain the decisions about human capital is of critical importance. Decisions concerning knowledge, skills and abilities are multidimensional since there are many modes, categories, and components of human capital acquisition. Human capital may come from a set of choices or a set of processes. The choices and processes are disaggregated into four categories: 1) what human capital entrepreneurs choose to acquire 2) where they want to acquire such human capital 3) how they want to acquire the human capital 4) when they want to acquire human capital. Furthermore, it is also important to understand the drivers/motivations of entrepreneurs regarding human capital acquisition. This paper is an in-depth organisation and review of the existing literature. We present a roadmap connecting the points that remain dispersed and fragmented. In addition, suggestions for future research are provided.

Title: Students' satisfaction from online learning: structural equation modelling analysis based on students' perception in higher educational institutions in India
Abstract:
This study examines the foremost antecedents of students' satisfaction with online learning in higher educational institutions (HEIs) in northern India during the COVID-19 pandemic. Data was collected through an online Google form from 2,658 (2,597 considered usable) enrolled students in HEIs in northern India using the purposive sampling technique. The data were analysed using exploratory factor analysis and structural equation modelling (SEM) using AMOS. Results revealed that learning environment, barricades, and advantages to learner are positively and significantly correlated with students' satisfaction, whereas challenges had a negative and insignificant correlation with students' satisfaction. Most notably, the significant impact of the learning environment on students' satisfaction is major, followed by barricades, advantages to learners, and challenges. This study will contribute to future research for measuring the student's perception of the adoption of online learning in diverse educational institutions.

Title: Entrepreneurial university ecosystems: does the country's level of development differently affect the students entrepreneurial intention? A perspective from public universities in Spain and Mexico
Abstract:
Entrepreneurial ecosystems in universities are a trusted framework to analyse entrepreneurship as a viable career option, that can promote recovery from a crisis scenario. Particularly, after COVID-19 pandemic, the current situation demands intensifying all the agents involved to contribute to the recovery of the entrepreneurial ecosystem. However, public universities are vital institutions that provide education in all disciplines and receive young people interested in learning. Thus, one question comes to mind when the unit of analysis is the public university in a developed country. Does the country's level of development differently affect the student's entrepreneurial intention in public universities? This research frames a global sample of 436 students, 220 (Spain) and 216 (Mexico), students suitable for structural equation modelling. Our findings suggest a significant relationship between entrepreneurial university ecosystems and the entrepreneurial intention of students in public universities. Moreover the entrepreneurial university ecosystem influences student's entrepreneurial intention through attitude and self-efficacy. On the contrary, the different level of development across studied countries does not affect the university students' entrepreneurial intention. It contributes to understanding the entrepreneurial contexts for public universities and brings new insights into the classification of entrepreneurial university ecosystems.

Title: Entrepreneurs' perceptions of their entrepreneurial process: a qualitative analysis of in-depth interviews with education graduates in the Basque Country, Spain
Abstract:
Entrepreneurship is necessary for the economic development of societies. Universities play a key role in this process by fostering entrepreneurship and promoting entrepreneurial skills. Studies show that entrepreneurship is largely mainstreamed into economics faculties; however, a multidisciplinary approach should be adopted to work across different fields. The aim of this study is to explore how graduates from faculties and schools of education in the Autonomous Region of the Basque Country (Spain) perceive the factors that have influenced their entrepreneurial process, in order to establish good practices, and to highlight strengths and weaknesses. A qualitative methodology was used by conducting and analysing 20 in-depth interviews. The main conclusions point to the lack of development of entrepreneurial skills in universities, the use of traditional methodologies by teaching staff, entrepreneurs' passion and their desire to create companies that possess specific hallmark characteristics, among others.

Title: Weaknesses of entrepreneurship education in science, technology, engineering and mathematics education in developing countries: empirical evidence of Kosovo
Abstract:
Science, technology engineering and mathematics (STEM) students are supposed to be better equipped to use new technologies and to customise them for the local needs. But most STEM students are not 'born for entrepreneurship'. Their low level of entrepreneurship awareness may be due to lack of entrepreneurship education. Determining a way to establish an entrepreneurship education, especially for STEM students, and evaluating its impacts on economic and social change is complex, particularly in developing countries (DCs). Our paper seeks to contribute to this debate by examining the case of Kosovo. The objective is to understand the reasons for the lack of entrepreneurship education for STEM students and to review the current strategy of Kosovo in tackling the entrepreneurship education for STEM students. The paper stresses at least three complementary reasons linked to the entrepreneurial ecosystem, the behaviour of higher education institutions (HEI) and the behaviour of the students.

Title: Digital technologies adopted by universities to support entrepreneurial students' spin-offs
Abstract:
This paper presents a theoretical approach based on the systematic literature review (SLR) method. The objective of the study was identifying the digital technologies adopted by universities to support entrepreneurial students' spin-offs. We identified 98 studies in the first round of Scopus database, in the period from 2004 to 2022, and conclude the analysis with 42 papers, after others rounds. Data collection was performed through the Boolean technique, using the keywords 'digital innovation' and 'university'. The results point to several technologies, in special MOOCs and mobiles application. The study contributes significantly to future research in the field of entrepreneurial universities, which encourage the generation of digital businesses, from the development of spin offs working to the entrepreneurial students.

Title: The role of research-based spin-offs in innovation ecosystems
Abstract:
The objective of the paper is to contribute to a better understanding of the various roles played by research-based spin-offs (RBSOs) in knowledge dissemination. It investigates if RBSOs act as connectors and knowledge translators, both between different types of organisations within an innovation ecosystem and across different geographical scales and knowledge environments. This latter role has been relatively less investigated but is important to open local innovation ecosystems. The paper analyses the networks formed by Portuguese RBSOs in the context of research, technology and product development projects. The results suggest that RBSOs play an intermediary role in the country's innovation ecosystem, which can assume different forms. In the national networks, they frequently bridge research and downstream organisations, contributing to the dissemination of knowledge within the ecosystem. In the international networks, their most important role may be as connectors and conveyors of advanced knowledge produced in external knowledge environments

Title: Training in social entrepreneurship using educational videos: description of two different learning experiences
Abstract:
Due to the situation caused worldwide by the pandemic, many people's habits and ways of life have been modified. One of the main changes is related to high university learning, which has gone from being face-to-face, to telematics in many cases. This has led to changes in the teaching methodologies and, of course, in the learning resources used by the staff. This paper aims to show, through real experiences developed in two different universities in Madrid, the benefits and the generation of value that the use of information and communication technologies (ICT)-specifically focused on the generation and sharing of teaching videos on social entrepreneurship can contribute to on-line university education. Teaching social entrepreneurship should be based on active learning methodologies and through the interaction between theory and practice. We consider especially important that young university students acquire the entrepreneurial spirit linked with ethical behaviour at work and corporate social responsibility. The experience described in this paper show that these resources from ICT - especially educational videos are appropriate for the teaching of social entrepreneurship in the XXIst century under uncertain conditions.

Title: Parental education and child labour: evidence from Pakistan
Abstract:
Child labour deprives children of their right to education, resulting in a lack of skills, human capital, and a reduction in future earnings. This study provides a better understanding of child labour by examining its relationship with socio-economic factors. Using PSLM 2019-2020 data, logit estimates show that an increase in the parental level of education reduces the chance of child labour. The well-being measured by the wealth index shows that children from wealthy households are less likely to work. Furthermore, the fathers' employment substitutes, while mothers' employment complements children's work. Girls are less likely to involve in child labour than boys. However, this may be interpreted carefully as girls are primarily engaged in household chores that are not reported. Finally, children from rural areas are more likely to do work than children from urban areas. Similarly, children from Balochistan have a greater chance of child labour than Sindh, Punjab, and KPK.

Title: Entrepreneurial intentions: the role of parental self-employment
Abstract:
Using the entrepreneurial intention model, we examined how parental self-employment/role models impact the relation between the antecedents of entrepreneurial intention and social valuation, closer valuation, entrepreneurial skills, and environmental support. A total of 319 respondents were analysed by structural equation modelling. Multi-group analysis (MGA) was used to test the role of parental self-employment to establish if there is significant difference between respondents whose parents were self-employed and those whose parents were not into self-employment. This study revealed that respondents with parental self-employment perceive a higher attitude towards entrepreneurship, perceived behavioural control, entrepreneurial skills, entrepreneurial support, and entrepreneurial intention than those without parental self-employment. However, the MGA established that the entrepreneurial intention for respondents with parental self-employment is similar to those without parental self-employment. The results of this study have policy implications especially in the area of learning and teaching of entrepreneurship.

Title: Role of education human capital in ICT-trade relationship
Abstract:
The study investigates how ICT affects trade because of prior effect of education human capital on ICT using gravity panel model for the period 2000-2018 including 130 countries. First, we find positive and significant relationship between ICT use and bilateral merchandise exports flows. Second, the findings indicate that higher ICT use by both the exporting and importing country has a positive impact on exports of countries with higher education human capital. The effects of interaction between ICT and human capital on exports flows from low-and middle-income to high income countries as well as trade between low and middle-income countries are positive and significant for the exporter country. The interaction terms on trade flows involving high-income countries as exporters, in contrast, are negatively significant. For importers, interaction has positive and significant effects except trade flows from high-income to low-and middle-income countries, where it asserts positive but insignificant effect.

Title: The influence of marketing skills, entrepreneurship education, and entrepreneurial motivation on the entrepreneurial intention of the students of Universitas Jambi
Abstract:
This study examines the effect of entrepreneurship education, marketing skills, and entrepreneurial motivation on students' entrepreneurial intentions. The population in this study were undergraduate students at Jambi University in the final semester of the academic year 2020-2021. Data were collected using a questionnaire and then analysed using the SEM-PLS model approach. The results of the study indicate that marketing skills and entrepreneurship education directly and indirectly affect entrepreneurial intentions through entrepreneurial motivation. The analysis of the structural equation model that has been determined can be the basis for policymakers at Jambi University to create an entrepreneurial climate through the learning process and other programs to increase student entrepreneurial interest.

Title: Education and economic growth in Morocco: a causal analysis approach
Abstract:
This work aims to establish the nature of the long and/or short term relationship as well as the causal inference between human capital and economic growth in Morocco. In this respect, we adopted an appropriate methodological approach, in particular the dynamic ARDL model, in multivariate analysis, the Cointegration test (Pesaran et al., 2001) as well as the Granger causality test according to the Toda-Yamamoto approach (1995). The results show that investment in human capital, through education, does not seem to have an immediate effect on economic growth in the case of Morocco, but rather is represented as a positive and significant factor for long-term economic growth. Moreover, the causal relationship for the case of Morocco is expressed from production (or growth) to education and that it is not simply a mutual causality relationship.

Title: The impact of green human resource management on employee green behaviour in higher education institutions: the mediating role of green self-efficacy
Abstract:
The paper uses ability-motivation-opportunity (AMO) theory and social cognitive theory (SCT) to explore the effects of green human resource management (GHRM) on employee green behaviour (EGB) and green selfefficacy (GSE) and examine a mediating effect of GSE in the relationship between GHRM and EGB in higher education institutions in India. An empirical study is undertaken using questionnaires amongst academics (n = 175) working in higher education institutions (HEIs) in India. Subsequent hypothesis testing is done through structural equation modelling in AMOS 22.0 version. The findings indicate that GHRM is a significant predictor of EGB and GSE. Furthermore, GSE demonstrated partial mediation in GHRM-EGB relationship. The results suggest that policymakers in higher education institutions must introduce and appreciate systems to promote green behaviour in individuals. This study contributes to GHRM and EGB literature in the context of HEIs in India and is the first to consider GSE as a mediating instrument.

Title: Does financial education act as a catalyst for SME competitiveness?
Abstract:
Small and medium-sized enterprise plays a significant role in economic development by creating jobs, increasing wealth, and reducing poverty. The present study was conducted in the industrial area of Chandigarh, Mohali and Panchkula (India). Data was collected from entrepreneurial and managerial classes of the SME sector through a questionnaire through direct personal investigation. The survey was conducted using the questionnaire's non-probability purposive sampling method. The findings indicate that financial education is the most significant factor affecting SME success, followed by access to financing, which considerably affects SME performance. The data suggests that financial risk has a negative effect on SME performance, although the impact is not statistically significant. Furthermore, the significance of a variable's power may be determined by examining whether the sample means fall within confidence intervals. SMEs should be well educated to access alternative funding channels to the banking system that provide feasible alternatives for accomplishing value creation objectives.

Title: How to recruit students - students' expectations and employer opportunities in Serbia
Abstract:
Organisations need to have continuity in knowledge development. This means that they have to engage existing staff, who unfortunately retire or leave the organisation due to better job opportunities. This is especially true for Serbia. From the other side, negative population growth, high brain drain and not so great educational structure of working-age population are reality. This can lead to knowledge risks associated with the organisations inability to reach competent staff in the future. Therefore, a solution could be found in recruitment of final year students. We conduct student surveys at two universities in Serbia, one privately-owned and one state-owned and found that students in Serbia have clear expectations of future employers in terms of recruitment and job characteristics. They pretty much rely on new technologies in the recruitment process and want similar things to their colleagues from abroad. Research gave us opportunity to provide insights in students' expectations and employer opportunities in Serbia.

Title: Higher education and national governance: comparison of their relationship with talent
Abstract:
In the information age and era of globalisation, it is crucial that companies attract, develop and retain workers. However, this issue is not only a matter for companies; nowadays, governments and societies compete for talent at a global level. Several dimensions shape this macro talent environment: investment in education, employee training, and health infrastructure, among others. In this study, we focus on higher education (rankings and participation rates by level of education) and the country's governance according to the talent-relative position of countries in the Institute for Management Development (IMD) World Ranking (WTR). If the median of governance indicators rises by four parts, the country's world talent ranking will improve by one place. On the higher education side, a strong relationship exists with the proportion of students attending top 200 universities. However, the talent ranking of the country is more positively affected by improving participation rates at the masters and doctoral levels.

Title: Entrepreneurial attitude: a gender study among management students in India
Abstract:
India has made progress on various social indicators as an emerging economy, with a growing workforce and education rate. However, gender equality is an area that still requires development for economic and social advancement. Entrepreneurship is considered essential for this development, and research has identified factors that affect entrepreneurial attitudes. This study aims to explore the impact of business and entrepreneurial education on the entrepreneurial attitude of management students in Delhi and the NCR region, as well as the influence of gender on this attitude. The study used a quantitative research design and a questionnaire to collect data from 117 undergraduate and postgraduate management students. The results show that education significantly affects entrepreneurial attitude, with a notable difference between levels of business education and specialisation. Gender had no significant effect on entrepreneurial attitude, and no moderating effect was observed.

Title: Factors affecting student motivation to study and their retention in online business programs
Abstract:
This paper provides reflection on preferences of online education by students in business higher education. This case study is based on survey of 1,184 students of a business university. The aim is to identify students' preferences in online education that impact their motivation to study. Analyses were to test the theoretical construct of factors that impact student preferences to continue their studies. Students' reflection on their experiences brings factors crucial to retain students. Results show preferences and motivation of students. Majority is oriented on new technologies, using modern features and education applications; women are oriented on flexibility of online delivery, but otherwise prefer standard contact with the school. All students need to stay in contact with the university as it brings numerous positive effects.

Title: Digitalisation, education and economic growth in the Mediterranean countries
Abstract:
Technology and education are significant factors in the economic growth of countries. This study examines whether digitalisation and education contribute to economic growth in the Mediterranean region. We use a panel data sample of 14 countries from 2003 to 2020 and apply the generalised method of moments (GMM) dynamic panel data model. The choice of this approach is not arbitrary and not trivial. It outperforms other models in terms of endogeneity, autocorrelation, heterogeneity issues, and mitigating potential estimation biases. The results show that education, internet and broadband access contribute positively to economic growth. We note also the significant relationship between the internet and cell phones.

Title: Education and opportunity in Spain and the USA: evidence from youth labour market entry
Abstract:
Using large random samples of young adults ages 24 to 30 in Spain and the USA, I examine socioeconomic mobility in each country and how vocational education options may enhance or detract from such mobility. In Spain, the socioeconomic status of young adults is less dependent on that of their parents than in the USA, but educational attainment is strongly related to family background in both countries. What differ are educational returns. In Spain, educational attainment strongly predicts job satisfaction, but in the USA, it predicts employment and earnings. Yet, if the distribution of average adult skills by education level in the USA matched that of Spain, inequality by education level in the USA would be roughly halved, all else remaining equal. Regarding the role of vocational education, young adults in Spain with non-tertiary vocational credentials show an employment advantage that does not translate to higher earnings.

Title: Stakeholders' satisfaction level of service quality of certificate equivalency in higher education: a UAE case
Abstract:
The quality of services provided by the Certificate Equivalency Department of the Ministry of Education in the UAE is investigated by addressing the customer satisfaction level of the department's services. The body of the study is divided into three categories according to the type of provided service, employment status of the customer, and time required to accomplish the requested service, and descriptive and inferential statistics are used to analyse data. The satisfaction level showed statistically significant difference in the mean between the student group and the employee group in favour of employees being more satisfied with the service. Results also show that the time of accomplishment of the requested service was the decisive factor in the overall feeling of satisfaction from the customers' perspective. Our findings represent the first study of its kind conducted on the quality of services offered by the Ministry of Education in the UAE.

Title: The application of the technology acceptance model to determine students' intention to adopt online teaching and learning in South Africa
Abstract:
Most open distance learning (ODL) institutions are embracing technology to deliver their teaching and learning (T&L) activities. The rapid growth of internet-based technological innovations and the COVID-19 pandemic have further influenced the T&L adopted by ODL institutions. This study aimed to apply the technology acceptance model (TAM) to determine students' attitudes towards online T&L and to establish whether attitude towards online T&L influences intention to adopt online T&L in an ODL environment. A survey research method was considered appropriate to achieve the research objectives of the study and to test the hypotheses developed. The study targeted marketing students registered for undergraduate and honours marketing qualifications at an open distance electronic learning (ODeL) university. Perceived ease of use (PEU) and perceived usefulness (PU) were found to influence students' attitudes towards online T&L platforms, while their attitude towards online T&L was found to influence their intention to adopt online T&L. The findings present several reasons why academic leaders should consider PEU and PU when designing online T&L curricula and learning management systems.

Title: Financial literacy in a Buddhist monastic setting - evidence from a field study
Abstract:
Financial education can contribute to more sustainable societies and the United Nation's sustainable development goals, with international organisations striving not to exclude any group from measures to enhance financial literacy. But is financial knowledge even relevant in a monastic context? This paper explores this question and provides unprecedented insights into the financial literacy of monks in two Tibetan Buddhist monasteries with remarkable differences in their curricula. It becomes evident that monks are not completely isolated from the realities around them but are increasingly engaging in (digital) financial transactions. The unique evidence shows that financial issues play a role in the lives of monks, with the results regarding the level of financial literacy comparing favourably to the underlying reference study of the Standard & Poor's Global Financial Literacy Survey.
