Entrepreneurship education (EE) plays a significant role on improving the entrepreneurial intention and willingness of youth and future entrepreneurs. This study aims to identify the effects of entrepreneurship education on the entrepreneurial intention of students in higher education institutions in China. A structural equation is used to analyze data collected from 406 Chinese students from business and management majors across 5 universities. Entrepreneurial opportunity recognition and self-efficacy were introduced as the mediating variable in this model. Results showed that 1) EE has a positive effect on the entrepreneurial intentions of the students, 2) partly mediating effects of entrepreneurial opportunity recognition and mediating effect of self-efficacy were found between Entrepreneurship education (EE) and entrepreneurial intentions (EI). The findings suggest that educational institutions should place a greater emphasis on entrepreneurship education and the recognition of business opportunities in order to promote entrepreneurial intent among students. Although a longitudinal study may be necessary to understand the long-term effect of entrepreneurship education, through empirical evidence this study demonstrates that the perception of entrepreneurship education among Chinese college students significantly influences entrepreneurial self-efficacy and indirectly influences entrepreneurial intention.

This study tries to make a theoretical framework for the use of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system through an empirical study of the explanatory capacity of Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) concerning the intention of use by international students in Chinese HEIs. An online questionnaire yielding 363 valid responses was collected from the international students in Chinese HEIs and the quantitative analysis was performed using the Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and Structural Equation Model (SEM) framework verifying the research model and hypothesis. The statistical analysis evaluated and analyzed the behavioral intentions and patterns, and the consequent factor for the use of the ERP system. The study suggests resource optimization, the trust of the ERP system, perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, and attitude towards using to have a significant impact on international students' behavioral intention to use the ERP system. Results from the analysis provide a crucial reference for Chinese HEIs while implementing ERP systems for the management of international students.
