“…If a person is highly individualistic, they may not be influenced by the approval of their elders and peers. This finding confirms EIQ research that subjective norms may not significantly affect entrepreneurial intention [77,78]. However, removing subjective norms from the EIQ would remove an important construct of content validity.…”

Youth agricultural entrepreneurship programs lack cohesiveness in their curriculum content. The purpose of this study is to investigate an agricultural entrepreneurship curriculum framework for youth in Latin America and the Caribbean. Two quantitative studies guided our investigation. First, a Delphi panel study was used to identify the core competencies of a youth agricultural entrepreneurship program. An expert panel identified 45 knowledge, skill, and ability (KSA) items in a three-round Delphi panel. The KSAs with the highest final rankings included evaluating business opportunities, agricultural value chain, successful enterprises, local markets, evaluating funding options, business planning, budgeting, market assessment, and problem-solving. Second, we conducted a needs assessment (in Spanish) with rural youth from the Dominican Republic to determine their agricultural entrepreneurial intent and program training needs. Fifty-four Dominican students completed the Entrepreneurial Intent Questionnaire, revealing strong entrepreneurial intent (i.e., positive entrepreneurial attitudes, subjective norms, perceptions, and perceived behavioral control). Next, participants completed the Competency Questionnaire, based on the Delphi panel results, which showed that gaps existed between the KSAs’ importance to agricultural entrepreneurship and students’ capability of demonstrating those KSAs. The Youth Agricultural Entrepreneurship Curriculum (YAEC) framework was developed from the findings. The YAEC framework should be used to create and implement youth agricultural entrepreneurship programs in LAC.

“…The factors that influence entrepreneurial ethics perception/climate and the outcomes of entrepreneurial ethical decision making and behavior are represented by 27 and 20 articles, respectively. Some literature addresses two themes concurrently [18,59,73], with a total of five articles falling into this category.…”

“…This has led to research hypotheses that are difficult to support with data. For example, Martínez-Gregorio et al [59] predicted a U-shaped relationship between bribery and firm performance, but their results indicated a non-monotonic relationship between the two. This study only explained the relationship between bribery and firm performance from a cost-benefit perspective, ignoring the possibility that bribery may also affect resource allocation efficiency, corporate innovation, and so on.…”

Entrepreneurship is a multifaceted and constantly evolving process that is often marked by various challenges, such as environmental uncertainty, resource constraints, intense competition, and ambiguous roles. These complexities can give rise to ethical dilemmas, including conflicts of interest and unethical behavior, which can further be compounded by the incorporation of digital technology in entrepreneurship. Despite the growing recognition of the significance of entrepreneurial ethics, research in this area remains limited and fragmented. Therefore, this study aims to navigate the complexity of entrepreneurial ethics and address knowledge gaps by conducting a systematic review of the extant literature in the field of entrepreneurship, ethics, and management between 2003 and 2023 using the PRISMA protocol. The review focuses on three key aspects: (1) factors that shape entrepreneurial ethical perception and climate, (2) factors that influence entrepreneurial ethical decision making and behavior, and (3) the consequences of entrepreneurial ethical decisions and behavior. This study proposes future research avenues that can deepen our understanding of the interplay between digital technology and entrepreneurial ethics, stakeholder influence on ethical decision making, and the relationship between ethical leadership and entrepreneurial performance. Ultimately, the findings from this study provide a comprehensive framework for examining and comprehending the critical domain of entrepreneurial ethics, which can effectively address ethical dilemmas and establish socially conscious ventures that positively impact both the economy and society.

“…The instrument's validity was underpinned by a theoretical framework, derived from a review of the literature on measuring entrepreneurship intention, as well as studies exploring the significance of entrepreneurship within educational contexts, spanning both secondary and higher education sectors (Duval-Couetil et al, 2011;Mets et al, 2017;Martínez-Gregorio and Oliver, 2022). In our study, items were adapted to address pertinent constructs in the entrepreneurship domain, drawing upon items that have received prior validation, thereby ensuring the instrument's content validity.…”

Entrepreneurial thinking is considered a desirable competency in the profile of today’s professionals because it includes sub-competencies that strengthen individuals’ leadership capacity and stimulate the development of creative solutions that present a high impact on society. However, it has been detected that disadvantaged communities located in areas with underdeveloped conditions and rural areas present a significant disparity in access to training models, current infrastructure, and activities that promote entrepreneurship compared to developed communities frequently found in large cities. Through a comparative analysis with quantitative methods, we seek to argue the need that these types of communities have. In addition, the design of a training model based on the design framework for Education 4.0 is presented; this training model seeks to train in the sub-competences of entrepreneurial thinking using the “push and pull” technique with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as its central axis. This seeks to close the existing gap, provide affordable resources to these types of disadvantaged communities, and, at the same time, promote local solutions through the SDGs. The study is conducted in the eastern region of Michoacán, Mexico, and will present the preliminary results.
