    This study aims to determine the Entrepreneurship Intention of students in Universitas Negeri Surabaya (Unesa) which is a metropolitan area and Riau Islands University (Unrika) in Indonesia Free Trade Zone. To distinguish Entrepreneurship Intention from students in this study using Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB). This type of research is quantitative exploratory research. Data analysis using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with the WarpPLS approach. Respondents in this study are Unesa and Unrika students, 6th-semester Economics or had taken entrepreneurship courses with a total of 142 students. There are similar intentions of Unrika entrepreneurship with Unesa. In Unrika, they were in the free trade zone area so they were more consumptive towards electronics because of their low price and reluctant to be entrepreneurs. In the free trade zone, if we want to sell an item outside the island, it will be charged by the gonverment, and the price will be same like the price from the outside of free trade zone. Moreover, most of their parents are workers or civil servants and not entrepreneurs. The cause of Unesa students is reluctant to become entrepreneurs because most of them want to become civil servants based on the influence of the family environment which on average comes from the village and works as a civil servant. For Unrika, most of them are college workers, so their mindset before and when they are studying is as workers

    This work contributes to the field of Academic Entrepreneurship by providing a theory-driven explanation of the spin-off creation process. It adopts the theoretical lens of entrepreneurship as a process by considering three main phases: Opportunity Identification, Entrepreneurial Intentions and spin-off creation. Moreover, it looks at the role of individual and organizational factors in the process and adopts the Social Information Processing Theory's theoretical lens. Based on a Systematic Literature Review (SLR), we perform a thematic analysis to understand the more considered individual and organizational variables and classify them into two macro-dimensions and nine dimensions. Moreover, we use a narrative analysis to understand how each process’ phase has been studied and which variables have been most considered. We obtain a conceptual framework, hypothesizing a circular model of the process and considering the impact of the most studied individual and organizational variables. Finally, we propose a research agenda for the mechanisms that should be investigated in future research

    This work contributes to the field of Academic Entrepreneurship by providing a theory-driven explanation of spin-off creation, conceptualized as a process that includes the following phases: opportunity identification, entrepreneurial intentions and spin-off creation. Illuminated by the Social Information Processing Theory, it looks at the role of individual and organizational factors in the process of spin-off creation. Based on a Systematic Literature Review- we highlight how each process’ phase has been studied and which individual and organizational factors are more relevant in influencing the spin-off creation process. Drawing from our results, we elaborate a conceptual framework that proposes a research agenda for the mechanisms connecting individual and organizational issues in the process of spin-off creation

    Has the First Global Financial Crisis Changed the Entrepreneurial Values in a Digitalized Marketing-based Society? The Case of GEM Latin American Countries

    Get PDF
    As the world economy is globalized, crises are rapidly spread due to the massive use of ICTs (Information and Communication Technologies), also affecting the entrepreneurial values involved in business creation processes. In this sense, digital marketing has a vital role to play, as it can serve as a tool based on technology applied to foster nascent entrepreneurship. Using data for GEM Latin American countries, and applying clustering analysis based on the K-means method, the objective of this work is to test if the actual First Global Financial Crisis (FGFC) has altered the entrepreneurial values in Latin American firms. The main result of this work is that the traits of entrepreneurial activity in GEM Latin American countries have progressively shifted from quantity to quality, so digital marketing has increasing importance

    You never travel alone : challenging the masculine ethos of individualism in academic entrepreneurship

    Get PDF
    This study focuses on women’s experiences of becoming and being academic entrepreneurs in the research area of health technology in Finland and Sweden. We follow the feminist critics of entrepreneurship studies, which focus mainly on how women could fit better into the masculine idea of entrepreneurship and thus how women could become more risk-taking and self-centred. Through our analyses of women’s career interviews, we argue that academic entrepreneurship is a social matter where the desire to benefit others, a wish to work in a non-hierarchical environment, and social relations in the private and public spheres of life matter. We further show how entrepreneurial journeys are quite versatile and depend on women’s life situations, for example, but also on the academic structures that appear more rigid in Finland than in Sweden. Finally, we state that academic entrepreneurship demands openness to search for and receive support.acceptedVersionPeer reviewe

    What motivates academics toward entrepreneurship? Examining the formation of academic entrepreneurial intention from the push-pull perspective

    Get PDF
    IntroductionAlthough academic entrepreneurship has received considerable attention over the last decades, little attention has been devoted to discussing the formation process of academic entrepreneurial intention underlying the push-pull perspective. This study attempts to explore the mechanism of how academic entrepreneurial intention is shaped, with job-related negative elements as push factors, and entrepreneurship-related positive attractors as pull factors.MethodsIn this paper, regression analysis and Bootstrap were conducted using SPSS 26.0 and MPLUS 7.0, whose applicability has been widely demonstrated in research.ResultsFindings were derived from 1042 academics from Chinese universities. Results showed that both push and pull factors do contribute to boosting academic entrepreneurial intention. Particularly, the entrepreneurship-related pull factors including entrepreneurial opportunity identification and expected entrepreneurial benefits play a dominant role in trigging academic intention to engaging entrepreneurship. Moreover, our findings further confirmed the moderating role of social network in the process of academics pushed by negative job-related factors to emerge entrepreneurial intention.DiscussionThis study extends the research perspective on the factors influencing academic entrepreneurial intention by examines the impact of push and pull factors on academic entrepreneurial intention simultaneously. This deepens the formation mechanism of academic entrepreneurial intention. Besides, the current study identifies a new look at the role that social network plays in academic entrepreneurship

    The impact of human, social, and psychological capital on academic spin-off internationalization

    Get PDF
    Academic spin-offs (ASOs) are companies with a strong international vocation for two main reasons: first, they market their products and services in global market niches to profit from their high investment in R&D, characteristic of the sectors in which ASOs operate; and second, as a consequence of the international training and experience and of the international networks that the founding academic entrepreneurs of these companies tend to enjoy, derived from their scientific activity. Despite this natural tendency to internationalize, ASOs and specifically the founding academic entrepreneurs of these companies present certain difficulties in accessing resources for internationalization and in achieving credibility in foreign markets due to their university origins. Based on the resource-based view (RBV), and network theory (NT), this work proposes that the human capital, the social capital, and the psychological capital of the academic entrepreneur could compensate for these obstacles, providing key resources for the internationalization of their companies. The results contribute to the RBV, NT, and academic entrepreneurship and internationalization literature since they show that human capital, in terms of the international experience and training of the academic entrepreneur, their networks of relationships with international academic agents, and their psychological capital, are all antecedents of the internationalization of ASOs. However, the networks of academic entrepreneur relationships with international market agents appear to be irrelevant in the process of international expansion of ASOs.Open Access funding provided thanks to the CRUE-CSIC agreement with Springer Nature.
