The talent and artistic characteristics of these entrepreneurs can create ecosystems of cultural innovation, as there is an effervescent creativity that can and should be used in favor of the territory. This connection can mitigate psychological and social problems, activating community belonging and offering visibility to culture makers. This study aims to investigate the contributions of microenterprises in the field of culture to regional development in the metropolitan region of Rio de Janeiro. These developments contribute to the economic and social balance of the territory; leveraging existing cultural resources, offering belonging and income to the local community. A systematic review was carried out divided into two stages, first in the formation of the bibliographic portfolio and in the results extracted from the procedure, then the connection between regional development and culture was analyzed. Three indexed databases were used, the Web of Science, SciELO and Scopus, with the search period between 2001 and 2021, which underwent 102 articles after the eligibility process. It was noticed that the link between the keywords “cultural entrepreneurship” and “regional development” was little interned in magazines that were more protective of the debate in the world; however, there was an important scientific gap for the academic debate, such as the transversality that culture is capable of generate from your products and services.

Entrepreneurship stands out in Latin America in spite of the failures of its companies, due to weak innovation. From the educational system and state public policies, as one of the measures, entrepreneurial education is being promoted to achieve the degree of innovation. To this end, this paper aims to understand and interpret the meaning of entrepreneurial education given by the business incubator of a public university in Arequipa, Peru, and the development of entrepreneurial culture. Belonging to the interpretative paradigm from the qualitative approach using the hermeneutic phenomenological design in which 10 university teachers participated where the in-depth interview technique was applied. The information was processed with ATLAS.ti version 9 software, generating codes and categories according to the theoretical and empirical triangulation. Among the findings in the main categories we have: the entrepreneurial education of the teacher and the promotion of the entrepreneurial culture. In the acquired entrepreneurial education: the role of the teacher is that of mentor, pedagogue; in his training the motivation was for the content of the program, providing experiences to entrepreneurs; in the skills acquired from the entrepreneurial ecosystem, agile methodologies; in the teaching to be transmitted in the classroom with the students will be to present their product through a pitch, to analyze the viability of their product or service. And in the promotion of the entrepreneurial culture they propose: extracurricular activities such as entrepreneurship seedbed, spaces for discussion groups and assimilation in the classroom. Concluding that entrepreneurial education is being strengthened with teachers and fostering the entrepreneurial culture in the medium term and within the university classroom. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article analyzes entrepreneurship education from the perspective of curricular courses, extracurricular activities, and postgraduate or continuing education in universities; and seeks to contribute to the theoretical evidence of the positive relationship between intrapreneurial activity and education in Colombian universities. For this purpose, a descriptive, correlational and non-experimental study has used contingency tables and a binomial logistic regression model with 3,152 graduates of various undergraduate degree programs from 120 universities. The findings suggest that taking entrepreneurship courses, participating in extracurricular activities, and having additional training after undergraduate degree studies increases the probability of being an intrapreneur. However, the probability is not significant if the graduate participated simultaneously in curricular and extracurricular activities. Post-undergraduate training is the one with the highest odd ratio in the model. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

El artículo analiza la educación emprendedora en los cursos curriculares, las actividades extracurriculares y la formación de posgrado o continua en universidades, y busca aportar evidencia de la relación positiva entre actividad intraempresarial y educación en egresados de universidades colombianas. Para ello, se llevó a cabo un estudio descriptivo, correlacional y no experimental, a través de tablas de contingencia y un modelo de regresión logística binomial, con 3.152 egresados de diversos programas de pregrado de 120 universidades. Los hallazgos sugieren que el hecho de haber cursado asignaturas curriculares de emprendimiento, participar en actividades extracurriculares y tener formación adicional después del pregrado aumenta la probabilidad de que un egresado sea intraempresario. No obstante, la probabilidad no es significativa si el egresado participó, de manera simultánea, tanto en actividades curriculares como en extracurriculares. La formación posterior al pregrado es la que presenta un odd ratio mayor en el modelo.

El emprendimiento aún se localiza en un ciclo de evolución debido a los obstáculos que han impedido su desarrollo más rápido; en algunos países en vías de desarrollo aún existen confusiones en la terminología o la falta de acceso a resultados concluyentes. El objetivo de esta investigación es identificar los factores que inciden en la creación de un emprendimiento. Las aplicaciones se enfocaron en tres aspectos: Educación y Entrenamiento Empresarial, Transferencia de Investigación y Desarrollo, y Normas Culturales y Sociales. Para el efecto, se realizó una revisión de literatura de los conceptos, hallazgos y aportes de diversos autores que fueron compilados de manera organizada y luego descritos en el documento. Bajo el planteamiento del modelo de Diaz-Casero et al, (2012), se concluye que el contexto nacional y regional impactan de forma significativa en la disposición de aperturar un negocio y que las características de nivel individual ejerce influencia general, pero dicha influencia no se mantiene en el tiempo por los distintos factores en los que se ve involucrado el futuro emprendedor.

El análisis de la literatura especializada en la educación empresarial permite ver las dudas existentes en torno a su validez y la dificultad de comparación y generalización de los resultados obtenidos por las investigaciones previas sobre esta educación, al no existir un consenso en su definición y terminología. Por tanto, el objetivo de este trabajo es establecer y delimitar una definición que integre las diferentes perspectivas existentes en la literatura previa y se consiga, de este modo, un lenguaje unificado que contribuya a definir programas formativos que alcancen los objetivos deseados, aumenten las intenciones empresariales y mejoren las competencias empresariales

El emprendimiento es un factor clave para el surgimiento de las empresas, ya que el ser emprendedor está ligado a ser innovador, cuestión que se suscribe como un hecho cultural donde el ser humano logra su desarrollo como individuo, a la vez que su entorno empresarial termina proporcionándole beneficios para su crecimiento personal y profesional. En el presente artículo se analizan investigaciones que reconocen la importancia del emprendimiento en la educación de los jóvenes a partir de la experiencia en diferentes ambientes universitarios en Malasia, Australia, Túnez, Venezuela, Nigeria, Latinoamérica y Colombia. La revisión del concepto de emprendimiento se desarrolla desde diferentes autores a través del tiempo lo que ha generado cambios en su concepción, derivando complementos en la teoría que han permitido hablar de ser emprendedor, cultura emprendedora, espíritu emprendedor, educación empresarial, perfil emprendedor y habilidad empresarial. De esta manera, el foco de análisis corresponde a una mirada del emprendimiento juvenil en estudiantes universitarios con la capacidad de llevar procesos formales y legales, orientados a satisfacer una necesidad específica en el mercado, generando empleo y una oferta de bienes, técnicas y/o servicios, mediante el aprovechamiento de las oportunidades que le permiten posicionarse y desarrollar su capacidad de agencia a pesar de su condición etárea en diferentes sectores productivos. Finalmente, se reconoce que las características personales de los estudiantes emprendedores universitarios se centran en la fuerza vital, el deseo de superación y progreso, la capacidad de identificar oportunidades, la visión prospectiva hacia el futuro, la habilidad creadora e innovadora, la aceptación y propensión al cambio, la iniciativa, la confianza en las facultades propias, la actitud mental positiva hacia el éxito, el compromiso, la constancia, la perseverancia, entre otras.

Resumen El emprendimiento social propone ser una promesa para el alivio de los problemas sociales del mundo. Al ser un concepto relativamente nuevo, la definición es sumamente amplia, lo cual resulta contraproducente para su construcción y diseminación. El propósito del estudio es identificar las diferentes propuestas de emprendimiento social llevadas a cabo por las cuatro principales organizaciones a nivel mundial que actualmente promueven el concepto de emprendimiento social: Fundación Ashoka, Fundación Skoll, Fundación Schwab y el Centro Yunus; así como de otras organizaciones practicantes y relacionadas con la enseñanza del concepto en educación superior. El estudio cualitativo utilizó el análisis de documentos de estas organizaciones, así como entrevistas a tres académicos expertos y practicantes del emprendimiento social. El estudio identificó tres escuelas de pensamiento claramente diferenciadas con base en su visión de cómo el ingreso, la escalabilidad y la replicabilidad de los proyectos afectan el emprendimiento social. El estudio provee evidencia de las diferencias importantes en la definición del concepto de emprendimiento social por parte de fundaciones más conocidas en el campo. La distinción de las escuelas de pensamiento es particularmente importante para la enseñanza y la definición de políticas públicas de emprendimiento social. Abstract Social Entrepreneurship is a new and exciting topic that holds a great promise in helping alleviate the social problems in the world. As a new subject, the meaning of the term is too broad which interferes with the construction and understanding of the concept. The purpose of this study is to identify the elements of the different proposals of what social entrepreneurship looks like, from the perspective of four organizations leading social entrepreneurship projects: Ashoka Foundation, Skoll Foundation, Schwab Foundation and Yunus Center; as well as from three other field and academic related institutions fostering and practicing social entrepreneurship. The study used document analysis from Skoll Foundation, Schwab Foundation, Yunus Center and Ashoka Foundation, and an open ended interview applied to experts from practitioner institutions. The study identified three clearly differentiated schools of thought, based on their views on revenue, scalability, replicability and geographic location. The definition of the different schools of thoughts is particularly important for the teaching of social entrepreneurship, and for the promotion of more adequate and accurate social policies to foster the development of social entrepreneurship.

Language ability and entrepreneurial education are seen as essential resources for start-ups operating in intensified landscapes of internationalisation and globalisation. Deemed as the necessary skills for corporate effectiveness vis-à-vis rivals, this paper responds to calls for increased understandings of cultural components as vital to entrepreneurship and the product of institutional forces. Thus, it explores (a) the impact language ability has on start-up expansion; (b) the perceptions of international relations as based on language ability as a tool for cross-cultural communication; and (c) the role of educational context from the entrepreneurs’ perspective. Based on interviews from European online start-ups across three discrete contexts—Finland, Portugal and Sweden—it concludes that contextual trends regarding language and education are founded upon the cultural-cognitive and normative pillars of institutionalisation. Further, by combining actor-context perspectives, it poses that language ability and education are resources borne from the domestic environment which positively moderate the start-up’s international success. Nevertheless, the notion of learnt entrepreneurship remains contested. Taken together, this study contributes by offering deeper insight into the role of context on entrepreneurial tendencies by combining resource and institutional perspectives. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The traditional management educational methods like in class group activities derive from Western democratic principles and work well in tolerant and pluralistic climate. However, in dogmatic and oppressive social environment, they just reinforce the dominant culture and create obstacles to fostering the students' critical reflexive thinking. Learning space becomes constrained by different overwhelming contextual factors: from group pressure to an authoritarian political background. On the case of the Russian business ethics classroom, this paper examines the influence of an oppressive context on the learning space and offers an approach to weakening this influence by intensifying students' critical reflexivity using writing assignments and supportive teacher's feedback based on a narrative therapy approach.

Este artículo presenta y analiza los resultados, para Colombia, de una investigación realizada entre los investigadores Gasse y Tremblay (2009) de la Universidad de Laval (Canadá) y profesores de la Universidad Icesi (Colombia), en donde se estudiaron muestras para Canadá, Francia, Túnez y Colombia. Para el caso colombiano se analizaron las percepciones de estudiantes de cursos obligatorios y electivos sobre Espíritu Empresarial (Entrepreneurship) en la Universidad Icesi durante el primer semestre de 2009. Los resultados permiten evaluar los comportamientos de los estudiantes en relación con el proceso empresarial y se derivan de allí conclusiones relacionadas con el proceso formativo implementado en la Universidad Icesi.
