“…To overcome the limitations of this biased approach, CSV needs to be interpreted as common objectives of personal, economic, and social value. Buil et al [20] noted that in a business based on social issues, stakeholders tend to consider social aspects more than individual interests, which produce positive externalities. This explains the background of the period change in which both consumers and workers value mutual commitments rather than profits.…”

The purpose of this study is to reveal the effect of personal value as a part of creating shared value (CSV). We extracted factors of personal value through a literature review. Personal value consists of social commitment, self-actualization, goal setting, and solidarity. Self-actualization is the universal motivation of the individual, goal setting is the basis for the occurrence of action, and solidarity is the relationship factor that defends competition and personalization. This study was conducted on three hypotheses. Hypothesis 1 is that self-actualization will have an effect on CSV. Hypothesis 2 is that goal setting will have an effect on CSV. Hypothesis 3 is that solidarity will have an effect on CSV. The proxy of CSV is social commitment. We examine the effects of these personal values on CSV by surveying 557 university students. This study applied the regression model to test the hypotheses. The empirical results are as follows. CSV increases when we are more self-actualized. Goal setting positively affects CSV. CSV goes up as we have many relationships with organizations and are more cooperative in work. This study suggests the important elements of personal values in a university setting for CSV, and enables setting the direction of the education by setting the index of the attitude to increase the value of the individual in CSV.

“…The teachers are also being challenged to design effective teaching strategies and plan meaningful activities for these students [4]. Entrepreneurship education has improved regarding teaching models, learning theories and learning environments [5][6][7][8][9]. However, the literature is controversy as to the impact of entrepreneurship education on students' entrepreneurial intentions [2,10].…”

Entrepreneurship has been regarded as a new science in the promotion of economic development, which has led to rapid development in entrepreneurship education. The growing number of students enrolled in entrepreneurship programs creates unprecedented challenges on educators. Although multiple teaching and learning activities are adopted in entrepreneurship education, these are mainly carried out using traditional classroom lectures, case studies and group discussions. Nowadays, information & communication technology (ICT) is used to enhance the effectiveness of traditional teaching methods and competency training. PowToon is a web-based ICT tool that hat allows teachers and students to quickly and easily create animated presentations. Using quasi-experimental design and qualitative method, this study is to examine whether PowToon is an effective tool for business plan presentation. The study find that the animated presentations attracted more investment than the groups that did not prepare animated videos. It reflects that developed videos which helps entrepreneurial team to better deliver their business ideas to investors in a well-thought out way. In addition, the results of the study show that individuals who generate a business idea did not necessarily significantly influence their investment decisions. Our findings challenge the concept on self-biases evaluations of the economic potential of their own business ideas. Finally, the students were very willing to adopt new ways of delivering their business ideas. create opportunities for governments to improve efficiency and strengthen their management and operations [18]. Many studies have confirmed that ICT increases procedural efficiency, customer service quality and reduces costs as well as positively influencing corporate performance, such as productivity, profit, market value and market share [12,19].ICT also could benefit teachers, promote learning and improve learning outcomes, particular at the elementary and high school levels [13]. Although higher education is where new knowledge is supposed to be created and acquired, it rarely is successfully applied to teaching activities [20]. Furthermore, higher education classes are more likely than elementary or high school classes to be large, which suggests relatively lower quality teacher-student interaction and relatively more common teacher-centered learning.The common course formats and key features of business courses include business plan (BP) development and pitch competitions [6]. BPs usually are employed to raise capital and plan for future developments. Recently, the idea of "crowdfunding" has rapidly spread around the world. The idea is to give individual investors opportunities to apply a relatively small amount of capital to fund new or expanding businesses [21]. If you were to ask investors whether the crowdfunding platform or the fundraising team was more important, many of them would tell you that the key is to display a video [22].PowToon is a cloud-based ICT tool that hat allows teachers and...

“…However, only recent studies discuss dynamic capabilities at the individual level, recognizing them as some of the skills and abilities that the manager of a company needs to operate the company in dynamic environments (Augier and Teece, , ; McKelvie and Davidsson, ; Teece, ; Askari, ; Wilden et al , ). In research on dynamic capabilities at the individual level, establishing similarities with the entrepreneurial skills of the manager/entrepreneur is inevitable (Tang et al , ; Buil et al , ; Kucel et al , ) because the individual skills and characteristics of the manager influence the strategic decisions that lead to business success (Williamson, ; Augier and Teece, ; Lanza and Passarelli, ).…”

Dynamic capabilities are considered relevant competencies in the fields of strategic management, as they are proposed as a framework for analysing the sources of wealth creation in rapidly changing environments. However, there are few authors who have analysed dynamic individual capability requirements for the manager of a business to ensure business sustainability. These authors define dynamic capabilities as individual competencies and skills available to the manager (sensing, seizing, transforming), which could influence strategic decisions and have the ability to adapt quickly to changing environments and affect business sustainability. The paper aims to analyse the existence of a relation between individual dynamic managerial capabilities and social and environmental commitment for business sustainability. The long‐term success of a firm clearly depends on the manager's capacity to establish an environment of cooperation and teamwork with stakeholders. This paper aims to look at the existence of a positive impact of individual dynamic capabilities on stakeholders' commitment. The results suggest that individual dynamic capabilities have a positive impact on business sustainability, the relation with social commitment being stronger than the relation with environment commitment. Stakeholders' engagement is positive influenced by the extent in which managers are socially committed. Individual dynamic managerial capabilities are a positive factor in the long‐term success of a firm. Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd and ERP Environment
