O artigo tem por objetivo identificar formas de se melhorar a educação superior em empreendedorismo, focando o caso dos estudantes brasileiros interessados em ser seus própriospatrões, ou seja, emteremseus própriosnegócios. Eles são aqui chamados de fundadores intencionais. O estudo é um survey complementado por uma breve revisão da literatura. O questionário online foi respondido por 12.604 fundadores intencionais de um amplo espectro de cursos superiores de 37 instituições de ensino superior públicas e privadas brasileiras. Segundo suas respostas, eles têm mais alta demanda por educação em empreendedorismo e mais alta intenção empreendedora do que se vê em outros países. Três hipóteses foram testadas. Os resultados mostram que sua intenção de empreender e seu nível de crença em serem competentes para empreender com sucesso (self-efficacyou autoeficácia, em Português) são indiferentes à variação do quanto fazem de disciplinas e atividades de educação em empreendedorismo (EE) no ensino superior. Por outro lado, há relação significante e positiva entre a intenção empreendedora e a demanda por EE. A elevada demanda dos estudantes parece poder ser aproveitada como facilitadora do necessário aperfeiçoamento da EE no Brasil. As discussões e as conclusões do fim do artigo oferecem recomendações não apenas para a melhoria da educação superior, mas também para a realização de mais pesquisas.

In this study, the relationship between life values, the enterprise potential and the entrepreneurial intentions were researched. The survey was conducted in Serbia, and the respondents were students. A total of 380 valid questionnaires were collected. For the data processing, the following statistical methods were used: descriptive statistics, correlation and regression analysis. The main research results are as follows: 1. Correlations between life values items and enterprise potential dimensions and entrepreneurial intentions dimensions, for the most part are not statistically significant, but there is also a significant number of correlations that are positive and statistically significant. The most powerful, significant and positive correlation achieve the following life values dimensions: LV3 -Self actualization, then LV5 -Love and affection. 2. The regression analysis indicates the presence of a statistically significant predictive effect of certain life value dimensions on the dimensions of enterprise potential and entrepreneurial intentions. Predictive effect is not so strong, but it is present at certain life value dimensions: LV3 -Self actualization and LV5 -Love and affection. These are the same dimensions having the strongest correlations, so it can be said that the results of these two analyses are consistent. 3. Dimension EI -Entrepreneurial intention has a statistically significant and positive correlation with the following dimensions of life values: LV5 -Love and affection, LV3 -Self actualization and LV2 -Personal gratification. 4. Individuals may examine their own life values, and on that basis examine their opportunities and potentials for entrepreneurial ventures. They can also implement appropriate adjustments in their value system, if they choose to run their own business.

“…According to several studies, the attitude approach has been proven viable especially for explaining entrepreneurial intentions and behaviour [e.g., Liñán 2008;Liñán and Chen 2009;Goether et al 2012;Moriano et al 2012;Walker, Jeger and Kopecki 2013;Rantanen, Pawlak and Toikko 2015). Likewise it has also been used in the evaluation of entrepreneurship education programmes [e.g.…”

Abstract:In the Helsinki-Uusimaa region of Finland, 2012 was the theme year of entrepreneurship, with the central aim of promoting entrepreneurship among young people. Throughout the year about 80 different events took place. The present study analysed the impact of the theme year and its activities. The study will examine the changes in the attitudes and perceptions towards entrepreneurship amongst young people. The first sample (N = 873) was collected in early 2012 and the second sample (N = 725) in early 2013. The results indicate the challenging nature of trying to influence attitudes towards entrepreneurship and perceptions of entrepreneurship. According to the results the perception of entrepreneurship changed slightly during the theme year, but only amongst upper secondary school students. Similarly a small change was observed in the relationship between the perception and appreciation of entrepreneurship. In addition the study shows how challenging it is to evaluate the impact of promotional activity at the regional level.
