Abstract

Opportunity Identification (OI) is one of the key entrepreneurial capabilities targeted in most entrepreneurship education programs. The most frequently used technique for facilitating business OI in entrepreneurship courses is brainstorming. Previous findings indicated the positive effect of hybrid (individual and group) settings on overall brainstorming outcomes, i.e., quality and quantity of the generated ideas, compared to only individual or group settings. However, to date, no study has explored the effect of hybrid brainstorming sessions on individual idea-generation skills outside the group, a possibility labelled "group-to-individual transfer". This study aims to fill this gap by conducting an experimental study with 33 bachelor's and master's students who attended an entrepreneurship course at a Dutch university. A repeated measurement study design is used to explore the effect of group idea generation on individual performance outside the group. Based on this design, students passed three phases, i.e., (1) individual, (2) group, and (3) individual idea generation, using an online platform, and the measurement was taken after the individual idea generation phases. The findings indicated that individual idea generation after the group work resulted in fewer comprehensible business ideas but with a higher rate of concrete ideas that were more innovative compared to ideas generated before the group work.

Abstract

Higher Education Institutions (HEI) play a central role in shaping the future through their ability to transmit, innovate and generate knowledge, near their students and community. They also establish strong relationship within society and the environment. Higher Education plays an important role in laying the foundations for the development of competencies for sustainable entrepreneurship, competencies that go beyond disciplinary knowledge and encompass skills, knowledge, and attitudes focused towards a holistic and sustainability-oriented approach. By preparing their students for the labour market, HEIs are proactively responding to the wide range of challenges that the dynamic and uncertain environment of the 21st-century presents. However, the demand is great and the road to be travelled is long. The literature review is extensive about the expected competencies, all indicating that they are critical success factors for individuals to ensure and sustain their career progression. Today's students are tomorrow leaders, players who can shape the world, make it a better place to live and work. Based on personal characteristics (attitudes and personality) and leadership, this study aims to contribute a better understanding of the relationships between these factors, with a particular focus on entrepreneurship. Using a quantitative approach, a questionnaire was given to undergraduate students of the Polytechnic Institute of Cávado and Ave (IPCA), in Portugal. The data were analysed and discussed according to the possible impact of the entrepreneurial leader's behaviour and the performance of the HEI where he/she is inserted. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
