The corporate governance problem is likely to be worse in banks due to their attributes (greater opaqueness than other industries, greater government regulation...) that weaken many traditional governance mechanisms. The purpose of this research is to explore the governance characteristics of the Tunisian listed banks and to detect the impact of the internal governance mechanisms on their efficiency during the period 2002-2009.Our findings indicate that the structure and the size of the board of directors and the ownership structures present divergent effects on the banks efficiency. Then, empirical results show that Tunisian listed banks display a middle efficiency level of 81.60% during the period [2002][2003][2004][2005][2006]. The deterioration of the efficiency level is owed to big public bank; in fact, private banks are more efficient than the public ones.

Entrepreneurship education helps develop entrepreneurial behavior by stimulating students'entrepreneurial skills. Indeed, students can acquire and implement specific methodologies to create, develop and support new activities. Our study will aim to describe and explain the entrepreneurship education in the Tunisian university. This learning is organized around five key areas: the methodology of entrepreneurship; training seminars; socio-economic development; support entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial values.By following a hypothetical-deductive and descriptive method, we try to know the influence of exogenous variables that will foster entrepreneurship learning and improve the intent and the entrepreneurial skills of students. In this study, we focus on student populations of 3 years at the university (called LMD in Tunisia) after the program; namely, entrepreneurship awareness and developing a business plan. The choice of this frame is explained by the fact that these students are just a few months away from integrating into the world of work and express a variety of professional career intentions. Our research provides theoretical and practical contributions. In fact, it offers tools to advance the practice of entrepreneurship education at the University of Tunisia, with the aim of promoting the emergence of the entrepreneurial initiatives of students and graduates of the University.
