  • University Students' Entrepreneurial Ability: The Role of Entrepreneurship Education, Readiness, and Intentions   Order a copy of this article
    by Rajat Sharma, Sumit Kumar, Muskan Singh, Md. Rahat Khan, Indrajit Ghosal 
    Abstract: In the context of university students, gender, and various levels of education, the role that entrepreneurial preparedness plays in the interaction between entrepreneurship education (EE) and intention is still an important question. This study aims to determine the effects of entrepreneurship education and entrepreneurial preparedness on the plans of university students to launch a firm. Email surveys were used to gather data from several Indian institutions. After the data had been cleaned and confirmed, 326 valid responses were used for hypothesis testing using SPSS (Version 23). The findings indicate that a person's entrepreneurial preparedness strongly mediates the association between entrepreneurship education and the intention to launch a firm. Male undergraduate students exhibit a larger influence of entrepreneurship instruction on their objectives than female postgraduate students. According to the study, variables other than schooling, such as mental readiness, play a significant role in developing student entrepreneurial goals in any country.
    Keywords: Entrepreneurship education; Entrepreneurial Readiness; Start-up Intention; Higher Education Institutions; India.

  • Sustainability Practices of Venture Capitalists: A systematic review, proposed framework, and future research agenda   Order a copy of this article
    by Irem Orgun, Judith Behrens, Olivier Witmeur 
    Abstract: Sustainable and responsible investment (SRI) has become a central point of attention for investors to transform their practices, including the integration of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) metrics into organizational management. Despite this increasing interest in sustainability, a systematic literature review on the sustainability practices of venture capitalists (VCs) as a research field is currently lacking. Guided by the PRISMA protocol, we selected 80 articles published between 2015 and 2022 in the Scopus database. We then used VOSviewer to perform a co-occurrence analysis on the selected articles. We synthesize VCs' sustainability practices across three domains: (1) product and service offerings, (2) organizational foundations, and (3) implications of sustainability information. We highlight the central role of stakeholder theory, the most popular theory among the reviewed papers. We present future research avenues by addressing the mixed findings and highlighting opportunities for theoretical and empirical advancement.
    Keywords: Venture Capital; ESG; Sustainability; Systematic Literature Review.
