“…The wealth generated from entrepreneurship has changed the global scenario of shortage, which explains why entrepreneurship is often associated with a society of prosperity (Covin & Wales, 2019;Farini, Puya, Soleymani, & Hosseinini, 2012;Murphy, Liao, & Welsch, 2006;Oliveira, Melo, & Muylder, 2015). Economists understand that entrepreneurship is what powers the economic engine (Acs, Desai, & Hessels, 2008;Audretsch, 2012;Dorobat & Topan, 2015;Filion, 1997;Kuratko, 2011;Vuong et al, 2016;Wakkee, Veen, & Eurling, 2015).

Despite the apparent relationship between personal values and entrepreneurship, this topic t has been subject to little academic research. This article aims to explain, in the Brazilian context, how the personal values of entrepreneurs influence the degree of professionalism in their business. The article uses a descriptive and exploratory quantitative approach, with data collected via a survey and focus group. Results show that, in the Brazilian context, ethics and capitalist values have a greater influence on professionalism than do risk, innovation, family history, etc. Certain personal values of small-business entrepreneurs become organizational values that drive their actions in challenging environments. The finding that only one of the ten independent variables has been considered statistically influential on professionalism constitutes its main theoretical contribution. It rethinks professionalism, no longer as a dependent variable, but as a personal value, like the rest, in independent, innovative and sovereign way.

“…Por se tratar de um ambiente dinâmico e de características específicas, porém, a maioria das organizações ainda necessita de uma base ou orientação para poder empreender no meio digital, o que exige certo conhecimento por parte do empreendedor. O mercado atual apresenta muitos desafios, como a competitividade e o aumento das exigências da sociedade em relação aos produtos e serviços (DOROBAT; TOPAN, 2015). Por isso, se não for bem planejada a estrutura desse novo negócio, podem surgir frustrações durante o processo de inserção da empresa no meio virtual.…”

ResumoFazer negócios no meio digital popularizou-se diante do barateamento da infraestrutura de telecomunicações e nesse ambiente a competitividade torna-se cada vez mais acirrada. Com o intuito de apoiar o micro e pequeno empreendedor durante esse processo, o Sebrae Paraná concebeu o Projeto Negócios Digitais, que posteriormente foi operacionalizado por unidades municipais, como o Sebrae Maringá. Isto posto, o objetivo do presente estudo é compreender como o Projeto Negócios Digitais realizado pelo Sebrae Maringá auxilia no desenvolvimento do empreendedorismo digital em micro e pequenas empresas. Para tanto, foi realizada uma pesquisa qualitativa por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas com os gestores do Projeto e o acompanhamento de três empresas que participaram. Também foi desenvolvida uma análise quantitativa descritiva para caracterizar o perfil do público participante. Por fim, os resultados obtidos mostram que as motivações dos participantes estavam relacionadas à busca de conhecimento sobre ferramentas e estratégias utilizadas no meio digital, porém a falta de tempo e de recursos financeiros retardam esse processo. Além disso, aponta-se a importância de iniciativas como a do Projeto e sugestões de melhoria. Palavras-chave:Empreendedorismo. Empreendedorismo digital. Negócios digitais. Sebrae.

“…Some of the nonfinancial benefits of entrepreneurship are independence, autonomy and improvement in the standard of living. Entrepreneurship helps to bring change and innovation and can lead to comparative advantage in international trade (Luke, Verrenynne & Kearins, 2007;van Praag & Versloot, 2008;Chirani, Farahbod & Pourvahedi;2013;Dorobat & Topan, 2015). Despite the benefits associated with entrepreneurship in the past century, there are concerns that it has also brought about an increase in the level of income inequality and the degradation of the natural environment.…”

Sustainability behaviour can be predicted by intentions. The study investigated the relationship between sustainability orientation (SO) and sustainable entrepreneurial intentions (SEI) of university students in South Africa. The study adopted a quantitative research design that involved the use of survey. The self-administered questionnaire method was used to collect data from the survey participants using the cross-sectional approach. The participants in the survey were final year undergraduate students of the Department of Business Management of two South African universities. Three hundred and one students participated in the survey. Reliability was measured using the Cronbach's alpha. The data analysis methods for the study were descriptive statistics, correlation and regression analysis. The results indicated that SO is a predictor of SEI of university students. Limitations, areas for further study and recommendations to improve the SO of university students focus on passive and active teaching methods of sustainable entrepreneurship.
