Increasing entrepreneurial intention: effective entrepreneurship course characteristics

Abstract

Ajzen's model of planned behaviour was used to measure the impact of specific entrepreneurship course characteristics on entrepreneurial intention. Course characteristics with a hypothesised positive influence on entrepreneurial intention were identified through literature research and an exploratory study. The hypotheses were tested with a quantitative study which was designed as an ex ante/ex post measurement. Course elements such as business planning activities, role models, student-oriented teaching and feedback processes are efficient components to increase entrepreneurial intention through its antecedents.

The Journalists of the Future Meet Entrepreneurial Journalism

“…This is why journalism students tend to have a low willingness to launch their own media companies (Delano 2001;Casero-Ripollés and Cullell 2013). However, several studies indicate that the introduction of entrepreneurship in education generates positive stimuli both in business in general (Charney and Libecap 2000;Lange et al 2011;Mueller 2011), as well as in the field of creative industries (Rae 2004) and journalism (Aceituno-Aceituno et al 2014;Paniagua-Rojano et al 2014). In this way, the incorporation of entrepreneurship in the education of journalists may lead to an increment in the emergence of entrepreneurial journalism projects.…”

“…However, when Mwasalwiba (2010) made a review the majority of articles have disputed the use of traditional teaching methods that still was the most frequently used approach. According to both Fayolle and Griffiths with colleagues Griffiths, Kickul, Bacq, & Terjesen, 2012) little attention has been directed towards program design and pedagogical approaches and Mueller (2011) argue that it is important to study what impact different course design and teaching methods have. Mwasalwiba (2010) report that there are many disagreements over teaching methods and during his review of 21 scientific journals he identified twenty-six different methods.…”

VI Jornada Nacional sobre estudios universitarios. II Taller de innovación educativa. Competencias: formación y evaluación

“…La idea de continuar amb una tradició familiar tampoc suposa una motivació determinant per a emprendre (mitjana = 1,5; ds = 1,010). Això trenca amb una de les vies tradicionals d'accés a l'emprenedoria identificades per la literatura prè-via (Mueller 2011 Pel que fa als impediments (taula 3) que redueixen la motivació per a que l'alumnat promogui el seu propi negoci, destaca especialment la creença que la inestabilitat que viu el sector periodístic en l'actualitat pot dificultar el llançament i la consolidació de la seva pròpia empresa (mitjana = 4,1; ds =0,918). Tot i que algunes investigacions prèvies han destacat que l'emprenedoria és una de les possibles solucions per a fer front a la crisi del sector comunicatiu (Campos-Freire 2010), l'alumnat enquestat percep la crisi com a quelcom negatiu que no deixarà avançar ni prosperar el seu projecte, en comptes de com una oportunitat.…”
