“…Aquí se presenta otro modelo, basado en el de Suárez-Álvarez y Pedrosa (2016), pero añadiendo algunas variables tanto personales como contextuales que han demostrado una relación importante con el emprendimiento en los últimos años (véase, Figura 3). El modelo tiene en cuenta la biología, de modo que la genética, la fisiología con las hormonas y la neurociencia con la actividad cerebral han demostrado ciertos patrones correlacionales en el emprendimiento (Lindquist et al, 2015;Nofal et al, 2021). Las normas políticas y socioculturales son el nivel contextual más amplio, donde entran en juego las leyes, regulaciones e impuestos de cada país o región.…”

Entrepreneurship is one of the most important aspects for the growth of any country. On the one hand, because it is a source of innovation, employment, and wealth and, on the other, because of the negative consequences of entrepreneurial failure, economically, socially, and psychologically. The study of entrepreneurship is carried out through different approaches, such as social, economic, biological, and psychological. Although no one doubts the importance of each of them, the psychological approach−specifically, the entrepreneurial personality−has been one of the most productive on this topic in the last decade. conducted a comprehensive review of the study of entrepreneurial personality. The present article, more than five years later, aims to present the main contributions of psychology to the assessment of entrepreneurial personality since then (theoretical models and measurement instruments and their psychometric properties). Future lines of research are discussed.

“…However, both theories are not thorough enough, because the inner connection that CEO's intention may be affected or decided by biological traits that are completely ignored in those theories. As biology influences many organizational phenotypes (Arvey et al, 2016;Nofal et al, 2017;Rietveld et al, 2020) in the study of e-commerce adoption by SMEs, this incompleteness and theoretical lack can be due to the lack of research on the biological aspects of entrepreneurship.…”

PurposeThe study aims to investigate the relationship between chief executive officers' (CEOs') prenatal testosterone exposure, absorptive capacity and e-commerce adoption by small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).Design/methodology/approachBased on a study of 1,519 SMEs led by a male CEO in China, the impact of entrepreneur's digital ratio on e-commerce adoption is empirically analyzed through a multivariate logistic model.FindingsThe results show that the second-to-fourth digit ratio (2D:4D), a reverse measurement of prenatal testosterone exposure, is negatively correlated with the adoption of e-commerce by SMEs. This evidence suggests that CEOs with high prenatal testosterone exposure have a higher probability of adopting e-commerce. In addition, this research indicates a positive correlation between absorptive capacity, which is defined by market innovation, process innovation and marketing innovation, and the adoption of e-commerce by SMEs.Originality/valueThis research can contribute to the discussion by providing new insights into the antecedents of the adoption of e-commerce in SMEs.

“…There are theoretical studies that contribute to the field by considering neuroentrepreneurship from different perspectives (Krueger & Welpe, 2008;Singh & Ronch, 2011;Martin de Holan, 2014;McMullen et al, 2014;Colosio et al, 2017;Guillory et al, 2017;Martin de Holan & Couffe, 2017;Perez-Centeno, 2017a;Perez-Centeno, 2017b;Perez-Centeno, 2017c;Shaver et al, 2017;Sud, 2017;Treffers, 2017;Ward et al, 2017;Aydın & İrmiş, 2018;Heydari et al, 2020;Korpysa, 2020;Massaro et al, 2020;Nofal et al, 2021;Ballı & Aycı, 2021;Girişken & Cakar, 2021).…”

The main purpose of this study is to try to explain entrepreneurship within the framework of brain-based entrepreneurship approach (neuroentrepreneurship). In our study, we examined creative thinking and opportunity recognition, which are two characteristics that are frequently used to define entrepreneurs. Data were collected using Electroencephalography (EEG). The sample of the research consists of 35 participants (entrepreneurs and non-entrepreneurs). Research data were analyzed with WINEEG and SPSS programs. The findings of the research indicate that there are differences between the brain activity of entrepreneurs and non-entrepreneurs during creative thinking and opportunity recognition. In addition, it has been observed different neural networks in the brains of entrepreneurs, especially during opportunity recognition.
