“…In the case of the students of Valencia, only the attitude towards the behaviour has been proved to be a predictive variable. These results are in line with those of Miranda et al (2017) in a study carried out with students from different Spanish universities, who also found that the attitude towards entrepreneurship behaviour was the main and only antecedent of the entrepreneurial intentions. These same results were obtained by Piperopoulos and Dimov (2015) who explained that although high levels of perceived behaviour are shown, this does not translate into greater intentions to undertake, because the environment is an influential factor in this process.…”

“…In recent years, research on entrepreneurship in academia has grown in parallel with the emergence of the entrepreneurial spirit in the university context (Miranda, Chamorro-Mera, & Rubio, 2017). However, in spite of the increase of studies related to the intentions of university students, studies with students of nonbusiness disciplines have been scarce (Jones & Jones, 2014), and even more Sport Sciences'(SS) studies in our country (González-Serrano, Crespo, Pérez-Campos, & Calabuig, 2017).…”

Abstract:Entrepreneurship is a key factor in fostering the development of the countries and regions economies. The regional culture is an aspect that can affect the entrepreneurial intentions of university students and it has not been investigated in students of the sport sector. Therefore, the aims of this study are to know if there are differences between the entrepreneurial intentions and their different entrepreneurial variables among students of Sport Sciences (SS) of two Spanish universities of different regions (Valencia and Sevilla), and to know if the predictive variables of the entrepreneurial intentions of these students are different. Thus, a survey has been administered to 172 Sport Sciences (SS) students from the last course of Valencia and Sevilla. The results show that there are statistically significant (p <.05) differences between the Sport Science students from Valencia and Sevilla in the variables of perceived control behaviour, subjective norm and attitude toward behaviour. As for the predictor variables of the entrepreneurial intensions also differences were found, being in the case of the Valencia´ students the attitude towards the behaviour the only predictive variable. In the case of the Sevilla´ students all the cognitive variables related to the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB), as well as proactivity were predictive variables of the entrepreneurial intentions. These results are discussed, highlighting the influence of the regional culture on the entrepreneurial intentions of these students. Finally, it concludes that the culture plays an important role in the entrepreneurial intentions of Sport Sciences students and a series of practical implications for the sports politicians and governors of the different universities are presented.

“…In that sense, the university plays an important role in providing a basic and appropriate training to their students, a training that qualiies them to reach their vital or business goals [1][2][3][4][5]. Entrepreneurs are people generating ideas who, at the same time, develop the required competences to be beter business people and beter citizens.…”

This text is based on a study that was done with the aim of analysing the development of university training processes through real entrepreneurship projects. The research was carried out using the study case modality, and it was focused on observing the teaching methodology variations according to the implementation-or not-of a real entrepreneurship project as a method in a certain subject, collecting data of both the faculty and the students. Departing from the current situation of economic crisis and unemployment in Spain and from the despondency and discouragement situation of the students in their latest years of university studies, the self-employment is set up as a new job opportunity for the training projects of these university students. This study departs from the inclusion of an entrepreneurship plan as a method of evaluation and teaching in several subjects belonging to Advertising and Public Relations studies. With this entrepreneurship model, we study the formative consequences for the students and the impact on the society. Results showed a common methodological patern regardless of the training model of the subject-obligatory entrepreneurship versus optional entrepreneurship-and a faculty interest in alternating several methodologies.

ABSTRACT:The complexity of knowledge-based society is constantly adding new challenges for higher education institutions. Entrepreneurial university model is developed in such a way that it incorporates the additional role of the commercialization of knowledge and active contribution to the development of private enterprises in the local and regional economy. The main objective of the paper is to explore the characteristics of university which support entrepreneurial activities and facilitate the generation and exploitation of knowledge and technology. The main research question is how the university can become an incentive factor for the development and success of academic spin-off ventures? The results of the research have shown that the characteristics of the social and institutional environment inß uence the development and success of academic spin-off ventures by developing various mechanisms that encourage innovation and entrepreneurship. In addition, the research has shown that the university, by strengthening the culture of academic entrepreneurship as well as, by establishing cooperation with industry and public institutions on all levels, encourages the development of academic spin-off ventures. In the concluding observations, we emphasized the importance of further research in the Þ eld of higher education institutions, in order to provide additional contribution to the literature focused on academic entrepreneurship, as well as to provide practical recommendations for improving the success of academic spin-offs.KEY WORDS: academic spin-off, entrepreneurial university, entrepreneurial learning, knowledge transfer.
