“…Currently, although the awareness of entrepreneurship among young people has changed in a positive way, in order to perfect the start-up ecosystem, to encourage entrepreneurship, motivating students to self-develop their sense of self-development and create a driving force for economic development is necessary. This issue has been mentioned a lot in both developed countries as well as Asian countries, such as Adewal et al (2016), Castiglione (2013), Wasihun (2015), David et al (2016). In Vietnam, research on this topic is not plentiful.…”

Starting a business by the establishment of a new business or a new business project plays an important role in the economic development of each country. Promoting the entrepreneurial spirit of students at universities is the basis for contributing to the success of start-up countries. This study provides empirical evidence of factors affecting student entrepreneurship based on survey data of a sample of 321 students. The study results clarify the factors affecting the initial entrepreneurial intention of students, and are an important foundation for starting-up in the future. Since then, the findings from regression analysis are the basis to imply some solutions from the school and the Government to promote the entrepreneurial spirit of young people.

Entrepreneurship Education through Successful Entrepreneurial Models in Higher Education Institutions

In higher education institutions, entrepreneurship learning based on successful entrepreneurial role models may promote education for sustainable development. Several theoretical perspectives, such as the human capital theory, the entrepreneurial self-efficacy and self-determination theory, argue that entrepreneurship education is positively correlated with entrepreneurial intentions of students, as it provides adequate know-how and skills and motivates them to develop their entrepreneurial careers. In entrepreneurship education programmes, exposure to successful entrepreneurial models could be a significant factor for stimulating students’ confidence in their ability to start a business and for improving their attitudes towards entrepreneurship. This study aims (i) to identify characteristics viewed by students as being specific to a successful entrepreneur, (ii) to establish the influence of exposure to successful entrepreneurial role models (chosen by students) during entrepreneurship education classes on student entrepreneurial intentions, and (iii) to assess how such exposure influences the attitudes of students towards entrepreneurship. For this purpose, the authors ran a pilot experiment with 30 graduate students enrolled in a Business Creation course using a research methodology that combined qualitative techniques with quantitative measures. Content and statistical analyses were utilised to examine differences in student entrepreneurial intentions and attitudes towards entrepreneurship after being exposed to successful entrepreneurial models. Our study provides evidence that entrepreneurship education based on successful entrepreneurial role models may positively influence the entrepreneurial attitudes and intentions of students and could lead to higher orientation of student perception towards social benefits of entrepreneurship (new jobs) compared to financial ones (high income). However, our findings stress that if educators want to improve the efficiency of education focused on developing entrepreneurial skills, graduate programmes should be designed differently for business and non-business students, since studying successful entrepreneurial stories impacts these two groups differently.

“…Jansen et al (2015) identify three major categories of initiatives: education (for awakening dormant entrepreneurs), stimulation (to support students in starting a business) and incubation (to drive young companies to independence). Along these lines, empirical evidence identifies positive impacts of entrepreneurship education programs and training activities (Bae et al, 2014;Fayolle and Liñán, 2014;Liñán and Fayolle, 2015;Urbano et al, 2017). The key role of educational programs is to increase student awareness and to highlight the entrepreneurial path as a viable career option (Donckels, 1991).…”

Purpose -The purpose of this paper is to analyze this phenomenon and identify its determinants using data from Brazilian higher education institutions.Design/methodology/approach -Based on a data set comprehending 2,230 university students from 70 different institutions across the country, the authors develop five Probit models to assess impacts related to individual traits and systemic conditions on five dependent dimensions: entrepreneurial activity, potential entrepreneurs, high-impact entrepreneurship, serial entrepreneurship and innovation-driven entrepreneurship.Findings -The lack of significance in many of the variables included in estimations suggests that student entrepreneurship seems to be a rather random phenomenon in Brazil.Research limitations/implications -Findings pose challenges for student entrepreneurship, as targets for intervention are not clear.Originality/value -Over the past decades, universities have been receiving an increasing demand to go beyond their role of producing science and technology to explore its knowledge potential to produce novel commercial applications. However, while there is a growing interest in ways to foster scientific academic entrepreneurship, universities also serve as a positive environment for student entrepreneurship training, knowledge sharing, testing ideas and learning. So far, the importance of student entrepreneurship has received far less attention than it likely deserves.
