    Get PDF
    The influence of university lecturers who teach, but do not practice, entrepreneurship is an important question facing academic entrepreneurship. Current literature lacks discussions regarding important predictors for becoming an entrepreneur, especially among lecturers. Because technological developments make it possible for a lecturer to become an internet entrepreneur, this study conducted a systematic literature review of articles related to identifying individual predictors that can affect internet entrepreneurial ventures among academics. Thirty-five articles published between 2012 and 2022 and sourced from the Clarivate Web of Science are summarized, reviewed, and synthesized. The findings show that human capital, social capital, and internet competence are important individual predictors that influence internet entrepreneurial ventures among lecturers. This study also proposes the use of a new fourth variable, academic internet entrepreneurial self-efficacy, to explain the phenomenon of academic internet entrepreneurship among lecturers. This study contributes to the understanding of individual predictors that influence internet entrepreneurial ventures among academics and whether lecturers can act as educators and entrepreneurs at the same time. Therefore, it is important for lecturers to develop their entrepreneurial skills both in theory and practice

    A Comprehensive Analysis of The Varied Interpretations among Islamic Scholars Concerning Bitcoin Transactions

    Get PDF
    At present, there is a notable divergence in viewpoints among Islamic scholars pertaining to the legality of Bitcoin transactions. A subset of these scholars categorically prohibits its use, while another endorses it. This disparity has precipitated confusion within the Muslim community, thereby complicating the task of adopting one stance over the other. The primary aim of this study is to meticulously examine and analyze the arguments presented by both subsets, with the objective of shedding light on the underlying causes of this divergence of viewpoints. To achieve this, the study utilizes a blend of descriptive and inductive analytical methodologies. The findings indicate that the scholars who prohibit Bitcoin largely base their arguments on external factors, with a minority of objections directly related to the inherent attributes of Bitcoin itself. In contrast, the subset that endorses the use of Bitcoin tends to focus on the intrinsic system of Bitcoin, often minimizing the importance of external factors. However, even the endorsers of Bitcoin acknowledge that current Bitcoin transactions are not without risks. They suggest that these risks should be addressed by the appropriate authorities through the implementation of effective preventive measures
