“…More recently, Morris, Webb, Fu, and Singhal (2013) used the methodology to identify a set of 13 entrepreneurial competencies to develop in students. In addition, Delphi techniques have been used to validate startup models (Chorev & Anderson, 2006), identify the nature of opportunities (Léger-Jarniou & Tegtmeir, 2017), and identify online business services for entrepreneurs (Evans & Volery, 2001).…”

“…As such, this article breaks free from content-based examinations of EE to articulate how we make the learning of entrepreneurship in higher education stronger through peer review and public critique. Using a Delphi approach (Gartner, 1990; Léger-Jarniou & Tegtmeir, 2017), we convened an expert panel of 17 award-winning entrepreneurship educators and researchers to investigate what EE is, our role as educators, the role of students, and how students engage in and practice entrepreneurship in higher education. We use scholarly theories of teaching and learning to illuminate both the theoretical and the a posteriori aspects of teaching and learning entrepreneurship.…”

Entrepreneurship education (EE) research is not advancing as fast as general entrepreneurship because it is not subject to the same level of scholarship. Grounded in the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning from the field of adult education and using an expert Delphi Panel approach, we offer a glimpse into the minds of top entrepreneurship educators. We suggest studying EE through a teaching lens offers insights and elevates teaching as a form of scholarship on par with traditional, more accepted forms of research. Our Delphi analysis suggests a definition of EE as developing the mindset, skill set, and practice necessary for starting new ventures, yet acknowledging the outcomes of such education are far reaching. We introduce five continuums of EE that encourage a transition to teaching approaches based on adult learning, namely andragogy and heutagogy. Implications for entrepreneurship educator training, the need for practice, and the future of EE research are discussed.

“…The factors that influence the decision-making logic and innovative behaviour are linked to the values of individuals, as values guide employees' actions and behaviours (Léger-Jarniou & Tegtmeier, 2017;Schwartz, 2003). Holland and Shepherd (2013) explored how entrepreneurs' personal values affect the way they exploit opportunities based on their decisions.…”

Purpose -One of the challenges in the business world is maximising effectiveness and firm performance. This study proposes that the right blend of people (with openness to change and self-transcendence values) and process (effectuation) would result in innovative behaviour and firm performance.Theoretical framework -The effectuation process has been found to be useful in promoting innovativeness, especially among small firms whose resources are scarce. This relationship is also true in large firms, although these have more resources and operate in a relatively stable environment.Design/methodology/approach -Using a snowball sampling approach, a total of 206 completed questionnaires were collected online from employees involved in decision making and innovative work processes in multinational companies in Selangor, Malaysia. PLS-SEM was used to analyse the data.Findings -The right people (who are open to change or self-transcendent) blended with the right process (effectuation) were found to positively predict innovative behaviour and firm performance. Effectuation and innovative behaviour also mediated the relationships between individual values and firm performance, suggesting that people and process should coexist to enhance firm performance.Research Practical & Social implications -Effectuation is scarcely practised in large firms. Therefore, we suggest that large firms encourage the use of effectuation through training. As the practice is better received among individuals who are open to change and self-transcendent, these values could also be used as hiring criteria.Originality/value -This study contributes to the literature by analysing the roles of people and process in optimising firm performance, and identifying effectuation and innovative behaviour as mechanisms that link individual values to firm performance.

“…Finally, compared with the international interest in entrepreneurial opportunity research (Ardichvili et al, 2003, Léger-Jarniou andTegtmeier, 2017) and entrepreneurial orientation Dess, 1996, 2001;Wiklund and Shepherd, 2005), it is surprising that only a few chapters in the past years have contributed to research in these two areas. Hurmerinta and Paavilainen-Mäntymäki (2013) study how entrepreneurs identify, evaluate and capitalize on opportunities by investigating diaries.…”

The Dynamics of Entrepreneurial Contexts

The dynamics of entrepreneurial contexts ultimately, published in upcoming volumes in the Frontiers in European Entrepreneurship Research series. INTRODUCING THE CHAPTERS Jones et al. (Chapter 2) take stock on research on migrant entrepreneurship and develop suggestions for future directions. First, they point to the need for comparative studies that would enable understanding how the institutions and policies impact on migrant entrepreneurship. They also highlight that the celebratory discourses depicting the single, heroic migrant entrepreneur (Ogbor, 2000) need to be balanced by deeper understanding of racism and social exclusion. In addition, they envision that migrant entrepreneurship should benefit from more in-depth analyses of gender and generate understanding from gendered arrangements in the household and in the firm. Finally, the authors propose a way forward by focusing on the non-economic, social outcomes from migrant entrepreneurship. Jones et al. underline that the mixed embeddedness theory 'has brought the impact of structures back to the analysis of migrant entrepreneurship, and their interplay with personal networks'. It is therefore appropriate that Aaltonen and Akola, in Chapter 3, apply a mixed embeddedness framework to investigate, empirically, the role of trust and bridging social capital in immigrant business owners' start-up processes in Finland. The authors argue for the particular case of the Finnish context to investigate the topic since significant immigration is a relatively new phenomenon in Finland. Thus, in contrast to many other contexts, the role of bridging social capital and trust building between immigrant entrepreneurs and the surrounding society are, arguably, more immediate in Finland. Through a qualitative methodology and presenting short vignettes-stories-the study analyses the development of trust, or otherwise, relationships between business owners and their clientele, the entrepreneurship community, authorities and employees. Both occasions of trusting and distrusting were recognized. The findings also reveal the overlapping and interdependent dimensions of social capital. Personal trust between the entrepreneur and clientele becomes important when lacking collective or institutional trust. Shared codes and language strengthen the trust between actors. Trust building can be viewed as a process but it is far from linear. Thus, time needed for trust building may become somewhat a surprise for the immigrant entrepreneurs. A novel stance is taken by Axelsson, Höglund and Mårtensson in Chapter 4 to contextualize entrepreneurship in a wider context of political and programmatic discourse. The authors rely on a discourse approach,
