“…These social beliefs often place stronger limitations on women’s access to the necessary resources for entrepreneurship than on men’s access to the same resources. Second, cultural and institutional barriers may discourage women from choosing entrepreneurship as a career path, as these barriers can impede their ability to achieve success in the field (St-Jean and Jacquemin, 2022; Halilem et al , 2022). Discriminatory experiences at the workplace can also discourage women from engaging in entrepreneurial activities (Reyes and Neergaard, 2023).…”

Purpose This paper aims to use the Social Cognitive Career Theory and a serial mediation model to explore how entrepreneurial self-confidence and attitudes mediate the connection between entrepreneurial education and entrepreneurial intention. Additionally, the study seeks to examine how gender impacts these relationships. Design/methodology/approach To test the formulated hypothesis and the serial mediation effect, a sample of 1,266 master’s students from nine universities/institutions across three primary regions of Vietnam was used. The structural equation modeling technique, with Gaskin (2019)'s plugin and a 5,000-bootstrapping sample, was applied. Also, a multi-group analysis was used to illustrate the differences between male and female students in the relationships between variables. Findings The research reveals that entrepreneurial education plays a contributive role in increasing entrepreneurial self-efficacy, entrepreneurial attitudes and startup intentions. Entrepreneurial self-efficacy and entrepreneurial attitudes also serve as serial mediators in the entrepreneurial education-intention relation. Moreover, this study demonstrates the significant moderation role of gender in these links. Practical implications The outcomes of the current research hold significance for educators, policymakers and practitioners, as they can use these findings to encourage individuals to engage in entrepreneurial activities and to improve the overall entrepreneurial ecosystems. Originality/value The current research sheds new light on the entrepreneurship and gender literature by using the Social Cognitive Career Theory to elucidate the serial mediating role of entrepreneurial self-efficacy and entrepreneurial attitudes in the relation between entrepreneurial education and entrepreneurial intentions.

“…It is also the introduction and development of new products or services (innovations) that combines implementation of scientific research into economic practice (Kirchberger, Pohl, 2016;Zhao, 2007;Mitchell, Singh, 1996;Dorf, Worthington, 1987). Some definitions also refer to the added value generated by the commercialisation process (OECD, 2013; Viale, Etzkowitz, 2010) and its effects (patents, licenses, spin-off formation, other collaborative activities) (Halilem et al, 2022;Caerteling et al, 2008). Considering the above, the following definition was formulated: Science commercialisation is a process, in which scientific effects provided in the framework of university-business cooperation becomes the subject of market trading, and thus contribute to the added value generation for society and economy.…”

The aim of the study is to determine the role of multimedia technologies used in architecture for socially significant communication. It is important to answer the following question: Can the content and graphic shapes included in the façade be used to shape public awareness and create social identity? One of the objectives is to examine the marketing potential of a message included in an image on a façade, and the possibilities of using it in building a region's brand. Design/methodology/approach: The examination included 15 buildings in which various multimedia technologies were used with the intention to create a message. Among the solutions applied in these objects are those in which the message is composed directly, by a metaphor, or indirectly in combination with the architectural features. The research material was analysed, and groups of useful subjects were selected for further investigation: -Promotion of a town.-Accentuating the location.-Accentuating the importance of events.-Popularisation of art.-Façade as a display and information channel. Findings: groups of subjects were selected, which might be used in creating social integration and regional marketing. Research limitations/implications:The below research is of preliminary character. In next steps, other aspects could be added, e.g. multimedia technologies, or seeking means of expression, methods of building images. Practical implications: The article presents the possibilities that multimedia systems offer in the area of message creation. It could potentially give direction to decision-makers with regard to their marketing activities, or the efforts to accentuate certain public functions of a town or region. The results of this research may interest investors, architects, and artists. The anticipated effect is that both awareness and the frequency of using multimedia systems will grow. Social implications: The article discusses the questions of the social role of art and façade graphics in architecture. It examines the effects of a message contained in an image on the issues of social identity and developing bonds. Originality/value: The study proves that façade graphics have a substantial impact, and it shows the possibilities of using such graphics in regional marketing; it also mentions their form, scope, and means.

“…Similarly, firms can vicariously learn by engaging academics as board members and advisors and through contract research and capacity-building training. These mechanisms enrich our understanding of business school academics' knowledge transfer, and previous studies have primarily focused on consultancy services and expert advice to firms (Amara, Halilem, and Traoré 2016;Halilem, De Silva, and Amara 2022;Wright et al 2009).…”

“…This shortcoming is profound in economic settings with weak structures for knowledge transfer from the higher education sector to society and firms (Nsanzumuhire and Groot 2020;Zavale and Langa 2018). Therefore, there is a need to understand business school academics' transfer of knowledge to firms (Amara, Halilem, and Traoré 2016;Goethner and Wyrwich 2020;Halilem, De Silva, and Amara 2022) in contrast to much empirical evidence on academics in the applied sciences and engineering disciplines (Perkmann et al 2013(Perkmann et al , 2021.…”

Society's growing demand for knowledge transfer from higher education institutions to firms through academics is a notable trend. Nonetheless, the nuances of how business school academics perceive their engagement in knowledge transfer to firms remain inadequately explored. This research endeavors to bridge this knowledge gap by drawing upon interviews conducted with 52 business school academics in Ghana. The synthesized findings derived from the interpretive phenomenological data analysis provide crucial insights grounded in the ability–motivation–opportunity theory framework. Within this framework, “opportunity” describes image‐ and project‐opportunity context drivers, such as media engagement, goodwill, in‐service training students, and projects by international development organizations fostered through relationship‐building and networking. “Motivation” explains the established national, societal, and self‐serving mandates, stimulating institutional‐, society‐, and person‐driven motivations. “Ability” encompasses the capacity of academics to employ both generic and relational mechanisms. The interplay among ability, motivation, and opportunity catalyzes the creation of various knowledge content types linked to specific market contexts.
