This paper develops and tests a model of pathways between participation in entrepreneurship education programmes (EEPs) and entrepreneurial intention. EEPs are degree programmes designed to provide mastery and experience over several years of academic study. Structural equation modelling on survey data gathered from 348 graduating students from eight universities in Pakistan showed how three EEP components (learning, inspiration and resources) influence intention: learning and inspiration activities both increase perceived norms for being an entrepreneur and students' perceptions that they can be entrepreneurs (perceived control). Access to incubation resources had the strongest effect on intention by increasing perceived norms which in turn increases positive attitudes and perceived control. These findings provide insight into the conclusions drawn from previous studies by showing how positive student experience across different components of entrepreneurship programme have a positive impact on students' intentions to start their own business.

“…Practice-oriented programs that provide an opportunity to have real experience can be effective in increasing the desire to start a new business (Honig, 2004). As mentioned in various studies, entrepreneurship education is required to include behavioural simulations and areas such as negotiation, leadership, creative thought, technological innovation and development of new products, discovery and exploration of new business opportunities, long-term business planning need to be focused (McMullan, Long & Graham, 1986;Stumpf, Dunbar & Mullen, 1991;Vesper & McMullan, 1988). The role of entrepreneurial education and training in identifying potential entrepreneurial attitude especially at a young age is inevitable for students, educators and decision-makers (Rasheed, 2000).…”

Total Quality Management in a College of Business: Operations and Administration

Although Total Quality Management (TQM) has recently become the often cited "panacea" for the ails of production and service industries, until recently, little thought seems to have been given to the application of TQM to the field of education. There are many signs of incipient interest in applying TQM to campus operations. Examples include a limited number of journal articles and professional papers, promotional flyers, and a few job vacancy notices for individuals to head up TQM operations on college campuses. The application of TQM in the education sector has two dimensions: (1) design and curriculum issues and (2) operations and administration issues. The purpose of this article is to address some of the issues relating to installing and administering a TQM approach in a business school and to give specific guidelines and suggestions to operationalize a TQM program. TQM AND BUSINESS SCHOOL OPERATIONS This article focuses upon the operations or administration side of applying TQM in the education sector. The factors necessary for establishing a foundation for a TQM system, input, process, outcome assessments, and overall guidelines for implementation are explored. The old adage "practice what you preach" appears to be especially applicable to education in general and specifically to colleges of business. While it is true that university environments are certainly different in many respects from those of business and industry and that policies and programs developed for business entities are not necessarily pertinent to education, the concept of Total Quality Management is one that the education community should examine closely before dismissing it as not applicable. As noted by Dean Thomas Keller (1991, p. 32) of the Fuqua School Business at Duke: Quality programs are under way at corporations around the country, but very few educational institutions have accepted the challenge of adopting Total Quality Management (TQM) principles at their organizations. That, however, is just the path that the Fuqua School is taking: the implementation of TQM principle.
