Abstract:

Entrepreneurial alertness can play a vital role in the identification and creation of opportunities involving early-stage ventures. However, the strategic function of entrepreneurial alertness in more mature organizations has not been explored. In a field study of organizations responding to an environmental disruption, we explore if entrepreneurial alertness influences decisions involving the creation and maintenance of competitive advantage. We find a direct effect of entrepreneurial alertness on strategic change decisions and organizational performance. Moreover, we find a synergistic influence of entrepreneurial alertness and other cognitions, including issue categorization and assessments of uncertainty, on strategic decisions. Findings demonstrate that managerial decision makers can take multiple, reinforcing pathways when heeding change.

Abstract:

Purpose This study furthers the body of knowledge on entrepreneurial decision-making, entrepreneurial marketing and female entrepreneurs by exploring practical implications of heuristics and biases in female entrepreneurs’ marketing decisions. Heuristics and biases influence many entrepreneurial decisions. Moreover, some of the most important entrepreneurial decisions are marketing-related. Given that the entrepreneurial marketing behavior emanates from entrepreneurial thinking and decision-making, one may conclude that female entrepreneurs’ marketing decisions are susceptible to heuristics and biases. This paper aims to explore the outcomes of heuristics and biases in entrepreneurial marketing decisions. Design/methodology/approach Data were collected by conducting semi-structured interviews with 19 Iranian female biotech entrepreneurs and analyzed by thematic analysis. Findings The findings indicate that introducing pioneering products to the market, overestimating product’s market appeal, unprepared entry, underestimating the competition, overcoming entry impediments, entry postponement, growth, success in incremental innovation and failure in radical innovation are the main outcomes of the identified heuristics and biases in the female entrepreneurs’ marketing decisions. Practical implications This paper has some precious practical implications for marketers as well as female entrepreneurs running small businesses. Generally speaking, reducing the negative impacts of the identified heuristics and biases of this study while enhancing their positive effects will increase the chances of female entrepreneurs to compete and succeed in tumultuous markets. Furthermore, our most important managerial implication is regarding overconfidence, which was very common in the female entrepreneurs’ marketing decisions by having various positive and negative outcomes. Thus, female entrepreneurs should be careful of this fateful bias in their decisions by knowing the most common signs of overconfidence. Originality/value This paper is unique because of not only identifying the main heuristics and biases but also their major outcomes in entrepreneurs’ major marketing decisions. Moreover, this paper is a pioneer in exploring heuristics and biases in female entrepreneurs’ decisions.

Abstract:

<p>Opportunities are the core of entrepreneurial process. By identifying, evaluating and exploiting lucrative opportunities, not only do entrepreneurs make profits for themselves, they also propel their societies to prosperity. In order to exploit opportunities, entrepreneurs need to make various decisions based on their evaluation of opportunities as well as their own capabilities. Most of the time, theses decision are made under reverse circumstances rife with uncertainty, ambiguity, lack of needed resources as well as high time pressure. Thus, it seems reasonable to hypothesize that entrepreneurs’ decisions to exploit opportunities are prone to decision making biases. In order to test this hypothesis, this paper conducted a qualitative content analysis approach by interviewing 17 Iranian entrepreneurs. According to our findings, overconfidence, escalation of commitment, planning fallacy and illusion of control are the common decision making biases in entrepreneurs’ decisions to exploit opportunities.</p>

Abstract:

Purpose: The aim of this paper focuses on advancing the entrepreneurial literature by enhancing the understanding of the connections between personal behavior and cognitive skills in decision making under uncertainty. Methodology: The method of this research has been adapted the framework used by Garrett and Holland (2015), who developed propositions from the conceptual narratives of how environmental uncertainty and complexity differentially affect the motivations and cognition of independent entrepreneurs and corporate entrepreneurs to engage in entrepreneurial action. Findings: The findings of this research provide a conceptual basis for a broader perspective on behaviors and cognitions that motivate or hinder entrepreneurial actions while at the same time, positioning the entrepreneur’s decision at the core of decision theory. Implications for theory and practice: Theoretically, this research contributes to a holistic view of opportunity decisions. It redirects the traditional analyses path of entrepreneurial decisions discussed distinctively from the personal behavior or cognition paradigm, which does not provide a complete view into the larger entrepreneurial decisions under uncertainty. Practically, our argument provides further insight into the black box of entrepreneurial opportunity decisions under uncertainty and thus highlights the need for a broader perspective for the entrepreneur, especially in the early stage of venture formation, where some cognitions and required personal attributes are needed in consonance for entrepreneurial action. Originality and value: Entrepreneurship research on decision making under uncertainty has mainly focused on the effect of uncertainty on entrepreneurial actions, while an attempt at the individual level, particularly, from the cognitive framework seeks to explain why actions differ. Scholarly efforts have also been made on what informs entrepreneurial actions from the perspective of the entrepreneur’s personal attributes. However, no integrated approach is offered in the literature to study how cognitive skills and personality traits complement each other.

Abstract:

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore the logics that expert entrepreneurs use when faced with a critical incident threat. Design/methodology/approach Attempts have been made to define “entrepreneurial logic”. This paper is influenced by Sarasvathy’s work on high-performance entrepreneurs, which finds that when faced with uncertainty entrepreneurs employ unconventional logic, and encompasses later research acknowledging social contexts where entrepreneurs operate. A typology of decision-making logics is developed, taking into account the situation of crisis. Seven expert entrepreneurs who faced crisis and, despite this, are still successfully operating businesses were interviewed. The paper develops a critical incidents methodology. Findings Experienced entrepreneurs were found to tend towards causal logic when “the stakes were high” and the decision may affect the survival of their business. They also weigh up options before acting and tend to seek advice from trusted “others” within their network before or after they have made a decision. A mixture of causal and intuitive logic is evident in decisions dealing with internal business problems. Research limitations/implications The decisions that entrepreneurs make shape and define their business and their ability to recover from crisis. If researchers can develop an understanding of how entrepreneurs make decisions – what information they draw upon, what support systems they use and the logic of their decision-making and rationalisation – then this can be used to help structure support. Originality/value By exploring decision-making through critical incidents we offer an innovative way to understand context-rich, first-hand experiences and behaviours of entrepreneurs around a focal point.

Abstract:

The encouraging efforts of economic growth through the development of entrepreneurship programs continue to be done. Following this, various entrepreneurship studies are also continuously evaluated in order to optimize the results. One of these studies is to determine the effect of motivation, perception, and learning process, on community entrepreneurial decisions in Seberang Ulu II District, Palembang City, South Sumatera Province. This research is an associative type, which tries to link the variables of motivation, perception, learning process, with entrepreneurial decisions. The sample used was 100 respondents who were taken by purposive sampling. The main data used is primary data with the data collection method using a questionnaire. The analysis method in this study uses multiple linear regression analysis. The results of the hypothesis proof show that 1) there is a significant influence of motivation, perception, and learning process, on entrepreneurial decisions; 2) there is a significant influence of motivation on entrepreneurial decisions; 3) there is a significant effect of perception on entrepreneurial decisions; and 4) there is no significant effect of learning process on entrepreneurial decisions. The value of determination coefficient shows that the variables of motivation, perception, and learning process, are able to contribute to the ups and downs of entrepreneurial decisions in the amount of 7.1%.

Abstract:

The essence of Entrepreneurship is making decisions that are constantly required to evaluate alternatives and make decisions regarding a wide range of matters. Decision making involves a lot of uncertainty and risk which poses serious challenges for Entrepreneurs to joggle among them in other to take the best decision. Study have shown that focus has been mainly on the analysis of the characteristics of potential entrepreneurs and the firm-creation process leaving the critical incredient that will help in decision making. The increasing challenges and complexity of business environments are making business decisions and operations more difficult for entrepreneurs to predict the outcomes of these processes. Hence, this paper proposes a decision support model -Fuzzy Inference System- that could be adapted for various business decision processes. This system has the capability to handle decision making, by critically considering the degree of membership of all the risk involved in a given problem space. The model uses the concept of fuzzy set theory to judiciously select the variables in a given problem space in an uncertain situations. From a real life practical point of view, this theory offers a natural approach to the resolution of multidimensional and complex problems when the available information is sparse and/or of poor quality. The fuzzy rule base sytem soften the adverse effects that a business may suffer from these uncertain factors. Keywords: Fuzzy logic, Membership functions, Decision, Fuzzy Set, Entrepreneur

Abstract:

The aim of this paper is, through a two-staged literature review, to identify the role and impact of causation, effectuation, and bricolage logics during internationalization and, in particular, in entry-mode choice. The results show that entrepreneurs in their internationalization decisions can follow one, a combination, or a sequence of logics depending on the venture's or its international lifecycle and experience, the (perceptions of) internal and external context, and network relations. Likewise, entry modes such as JVs, strategic alliances, and export can be driven by different logics or their combination, while foreign direct investment is predominantly driven by causation logic. Bricolage has received little attention in extant work and, thus, is a future avenue for research. Research, although growing in importance, falls short of longitudinal studies, which are necessary to identify shifts, and, importantly, performance consequences of different decision-making logics.

Abstract:

This paper examines an individual’s entrepreneurial adoption decisions to use mobile banking for both business and social reasons. A conceptual model based on social cognitive theory is developed to explain an individual’s propensity to adopt mobile banking. The theoretical framework examines how advertising, experience, perceived risk, learning inclination, and entrepreneurial proclivity influence a person’s intention to use mobile banking. This paper stresses the role of financial risk in determining a person’s intention to use mobile banking and whether their entrepreneurial nature is influenced by their experience and advertising they are subjected to about the advantages or disadvantages of mobile banking. This paper ties together research on technological innovation with entrepreneurship and learning studies. The author stresses the importance for financial institutions to market the innovativeness of mobile banking whilst addressing security concerns. The impact of a person’s social environment through personal contacts and acquaintances underpins social cognitive theory and helps to understand the motives for a person adopting mobile banking. The paper integrates mobile banking literature with current thinking on the importance of entrepreneurship and learning influences to how a person adopts a technological innovation.

Abstract:

Les entrepreneurs contribuent de manière significative aux activités économiques et à la création d'emplois. S'engager dans des activités entrepreneuriales exige que les entrepreneurs s'exposent à la forte probabilité d'échec, à des risques et à l'incertitude. Par conséquent, il est crucial de comprendre et d'identifier les facteurs qui contribuent à la création d'entreprise, à la poursuite de leurs activités et au développement des activités des entrepreneurs. Cette étude explore 1) un nouveau facteur qui détermine différents niveaux de la tendance à entreprendre à travers les pays et les cultures, et 2) la façon dont les entrepreneurs et les équipes entrepreneuriales choisissent leurs voies de développement et d'évolution.Le chapitre 1 illustre et utilise de manière inédite une caractéristique linguistique du temps futur, la morphologie flexionnelle (c'est à dire conjugaison) pour le temps futur (IF), afin de mesurer la perception de l'incertitude, et d'explorer son effet sur la tendance à entreprendre d'un pays. L'utilisation de la morphologie flexionnelle pour le futur est censée inciter les locuteurs à percevoir intensément l'incertitude. Par conséquent, ces pays et régions connaissent moins de nouvelles entreprises créées. Les preuves empiriques appuient la proposition en utilisant les données au niveau des pays dans 137 pays de 2010 à 2018. Les résultats impliquent que la caractéristique linguistique du futur peut servir comme un facteur institutionnel de la perception de l'incertitude par un individu et contribuer à l'hétérogénéité de la tendance à entreprendre nationale et régionale.Le chapitre 2 examine si la composition de l'équipe fondatrice des entrepreneurs novices aide à prédire s'ils deviennent des entrepreneurs à fort développement. Contrairement aux recherches précédentes, cette étude prend le point de vue de l'entrepreneur en suivant l'activité entrepreneuriale de 1000 entrepreneurs novices au cours de leurs dix premières années. Les résultats montrent que la composition de l'équipe de l'entreprise initiale est importante pour la probabilité que les entrepreneurs connaissent au final un statut de fort développement. Les résultats montrent en outre que les membres non familiaux qui participent en tant que partenaires commerciaux à la toute première entreprise des entrepreneurs les aident à réentreprendre. De plus, les entrepreneurs à fort développement sont plus souvent des entrepreneurs habituels. Lors de l'analyse au niveau de l'entreprise, différents résultats apparaissent, ce qui souligne la nécessité de bien choisir le niveau d'analyse lors de la comparaison des résultats de l'activité entrepreneuriale.Le chapitre 3 évalue l'évolution des équipes fondatrices entrepreneuriales. Les équipes sont des facteurs clés du succès des nouvelles entreprises, mais ils ne sont pas statiques dans le temps. Dans ce chapitre, la chronologie des changements des équipes est mise en évidence et démontrée pour faire des conséquences différentes. Cette enquête a été menée en suivant 1000 équipes britanniques au cours des dix premières années de leurs activités. Selon la chronologie du départ du fondateur et de l'entrée de nouveaux membres, l'éviction du fondateur et le remplacement sont deux types d'évolution nouvellement définis. Les résultats révèlent différents facteurs (propriété au capital, opportunité entrepreneuriale alternative et la disparité de la répartition de la propriété) pour le départ et l'éviction des fondateurs, ainsi que pour l'entrée de nouveaux membres et le remplacement. Des plus, la disparité de la répartition de la propriété après l'évolution de l'équipe est affectée différents évènements affectent différemment l'ampleur de. Ces résultats mettent en lumière l'importance de la chronologie des changements des équipes
Entrepreneurs contribute significantly to economic activities and job creation. Engaging in entrepreneurial activities requires entrepreneurs to face the high likelihood of failure, take risks, and bear a great deal of uncertainty. Hence, understanding and identifying factors that contribute to individuals starting a business, keeping engaging in and growing their entrepreneurial activities are crucial. This study explores 1) a novel factor that determines various levels of entrepreneurial propensity across countries and cultures and 2) how the entrepreneurs and entrepreneurial teams choose their development paths and evolvement.Chapter 1 illustrates and initiatively employs a linguistic feature of future tense, inflectional morphology (i.e., conjugation) for future tense (IF), to measure the perception of uncertainty, and explores its effect on a country's entrepreneurial propensity. Using inflectional morphology for future tense is argued to make speakers perceive uncertainty intensely. Therefore, their resident countries and regions experience fewer new ventures created. The empirical evidence supports the proposition by using the country-level data in 137 countries from 2010 to 2018. The finding implies that the linguistic feature of future tense can serve as the institutional factor of an individual's perception of uncertainty and contribute to the heterogeneity of nationwide and regional entrepreneurial propensity.Chapter 2 investigates whether the founding team composition of novice entrepreneurs help predict whether they become high-growth entrepreneurs. Unlike previous research, this study takes the entrepreneur's perspective by tracking 1000 novice entrepreneurs' entrepreneurial activity in their first ten years. The results show that team composition in the very first company matters for the likelihood that entrepreneurs ultimately experience high-growth status. The findings further indicate that non-family members participating as business partners in the very first company of the entrepreneurs help them become habitual. Moreover, high-growth entrepreneurs are more often habitual entrepreneurs. When running the analysis at the company level, different results appear, which highlights the need for choosing well the level of analysis when comparing the outcomes of entrepreneurial activity.Chapter 3 assesses the evolution of entrepreneurial founding teams (EFTs). EFTs are key drivers of new ventures' success, but they are not static over time. In this chapter, the temporality of EFT evolutionary events is highlighted and evidenced to make different consequences. This investigation was conducted by tracking 1,000 U.K. EFTs for the first ten years of their ventures. Based on the temporal sequence of founder departure and new member entry, founder crowd-out and replacement are two newly defined types of evolution. The results reveal different antecedents (equity ownership, alternative entrepreneurial opportunity and the disparity of ownership distribution) for founder departure and crowd-out, as well as for new member entry and replacement. Furthermore, the disparity of ownership after evolution is affected differently by evolutionary events in terms of magnitude. These findings shed light on the importance of the temporality of EFT evolutionary events

Abstract:

There are fewer female entrepreneurs than their male counterparts worldwide. This disparity persists even in countries like Sweden with the highest gender equality index scores and therefore presumed to be more gender equal. Moreover, women are underrepresented in the entrepreneurship literature. With fewer studies exploring female entrepreneurs and the gender-specific challenges, they face because ofinsufficient support, financial and otherwise. Gender equality in entrepreneurship has socio-economic importance and it plays a significant role in the overall economic growth. Making entrepreneurship a crucial economic development tool for women. With previous research showing that female entrepreneurs tend to exit their ventures at a higher rate, in this study we have explored the entrepreneurial exit decisions of female entrepreneurs with a focus on Sweden. Through our qualitative study, we interviewed 10 women that had previously made an entrepreneurial exit. Our findings show that female entrepreneurs mostly exit due to voluntary reasons, which affirms previous research that has found that female entrepreneurs are more likely to exit voluntarily than male entrepreneurs for mostly personal reasons and not because of underperformance (Justo et al., 2015; Jawarna et al., 2020). Moreover, we have further explored voluntary exits and involuntary exits. With findings showing that voluntary exits happen mostly due to management-related issues, economic instability, geographic relocation, or when the entrepreneur finds what they perceive as a better opportunity. All the involuntary exits in this study were a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. This study contributes to the literature of entrepreneurial exit as well as gender studies with its recommendations.

I look at a sample of 280 firms that went public in the United States between 2015- 2019. This paper finds that firm age and debt are negatively related to the likelihood of being venture-capital backed. It also finds that firms in technology and biotechnology industries are more likely to be backed by a venture-capitalist.

Abstract:

Le capital risque est une source de première importance pour financer et permettre le développement de jeunes entreprises. La prise de décision des investisseurs en capital-risque (CRs) est un processus décomposé en plusieurs étapes dans lesquelles les caractéristiques des entrepreneurs constituent le critère déterminant de la décision d’accepter ou de rejeter l’entreprise dès le stade préliminaire. Parmi ces caractéristiques, identifier et préciser quels sont les types d’expériences que les CRs prennent le plus en considération est le premier objet de notre recherche. Aussi, à cette étape, la prise de décision des CRs est influencée par leurs caractéristiques subjectives et leurs interactions avec les entrepreneurs qui partagent les mêmes caractéristiques que les leurs. Est-ce que les expériences entrepreneuriales aussi bien des CRs que des entrepreneurs interagissent et biaisent l’évaluation ? Il est notre objectif de répondre à cette question à travers notre étude. Enfin, la constance du taux de rejet peut en partie être causée par des perceptions erronées de la part des entrepreneurs sur les attentes des CRs. A quoi les entrepreneurs estiment-ils que les CRs attribuent davantage d’importance dans leurs évaluations préliminaires ? Nous recherchons la preuve d’une divergence entre les CRs et les entrepreneurs quant à l’évaluation des entrepreneurs, une piste jusqu’alors non exploitée. Nos résultats montrent que l’expérience entrepreneuriale domine dans la décision des CRs au stade préliminaire et que les entrepreneurs ayant déjà connu un échec ne sont pas éliminés d’avance. De plus, nos résultats montrent que les caractéristiques subjectives des CRs influencent leurs évaluations des entrepreneurs, qui sont d’autant plus élevées que les CRs et les entrepreneurs partagent la même expérience entrepreneuriale. Nous avons aussi trouvé une divergence entre les évaluations des CRs et des entrepreneurs. Ces derniers attribuent une plus grande importance aux types d’expériences entrepreneuriales sur lesquelles ils ont du contrôle que les CRs. Ce résultat laisse entendre un biais d’intéressement égocentrique qui pourrait en partie expliquer la très forte proportion de rejet au stade préliminaire. Globalement, notre recherche met en exergue l’importance de l’expérience entrepreneuriale des CRs comme des entrepreneurs, de leurs interactions et de leurs biais cognitifs, produits de leurs expériences propres, pour expliquer le processus de prise de décision des CRs et sa nature fortement sélective
Venture capital is a critical source of funding and development of new ventures. The investment decision of venture capitalists (VCs) is a multi-stage assessment process where the entrepreneurs’ characteristics are the most important criteria. We undertook a threefold study to explore the distinctive role played by entrepreneurs’ experience among other characteristics. First, we aim to specify what types of experience really matter to VCs. How do they value different forms of human capital such as education and non-entrepreneurial work experience compared to entrepreneurial experience? Does it vary across VCs with different experience? Our second purpose is to investigate the influence of potential biases among VCs when they share the same experience as entrepreneurs. Third, we compare VCs’ to entrepreneurs’ evaluations with the goal to provide a complementary demand-side explanation – i.e. entrepreneurs - to the consistency of the reject rate, a still unexplored question.We ran a twofold conjoint analysis with active VCs and entrepreneurs. Our results show that if entrepreneurial experience drives primarily the screening decisions, personal VCs’ characteristics influence their evaluations, notably toward entrepreneurs the most similar to themselves. We also find that entrepreneurs with failures are not blacklisted and are preferred to entrepreneurs without failure under some circumstances. When comparing VC’s and entrepreneurs’ evaluations, we find a divergence. Entrepreneurs attribute a larger importance to the types of entrepreneurial experiences they can control than VCs. We suggest that biases caused by their exposition to hubris explained such divergence. Overall, our research points out the importance and the specificity of entrepreneurial experience of both VCs and entrepreneurs, their interactions and the cognitive biases shaped by their respective experiences in explaining the screening decisions and its highly selective nature. We contribute to narrow down the research gap about the relationship between entrepreneurial experience specificity and screening evaluations considering the interactions in the VC – entrepreneur dyad, and, more generally, heuristics in decision-making processes

Abstract:

In the context of the globalization of human capital, this thesis examines the role of CEOs with international experience, known as returnee CEOs. The first essay argues that that CEOs’ international expertise is acquired at the opportunity cost of local social capital, such as political and business ties, which is more critical than expertise in transition economies with weak legal institutions. Based on the sample of 2847 CEOs appointments in China, I find that returnee CEOs are associated with inferior performance, lower market reactions to appointment announcements and an adverse regulatory environment. The negative relation disappears when social capital is acquired, regional legal institutions are strong or returnees’ international expertise is in demand. Exploiting an exogenous increase in the supply of returnee talent as a result of new provincial policies, I find the results consistent. The second essay examines the returnee CEOs in newly public entrepreneurial firms that are in transition period. I propose that returnee CEOs possess the tacit knowledge of foreign advanced legal institutions, which can help entrepreneurial firms overcome the formalization challenges they face in getting listed. The results based on 355 newly public Chinese entrepreneurial firms indicate that returnee CEOs, especially those who have returned from countries with advanced legal institutions are associated with superior post-IPO performance. In addition, foreign venture capitals (VCs) are found to strengthen the positive impact of returnee CEOs, especially when both VCs and CEOs are from countries with advanced institutions. In the third essay, I examine returnee CEOs’ managerial decision of listing location. Based on the sample of IPOs of Chinese entrepreneurial firms, I find that returnee CEOs are more likely to undertake foreign IPOs, especially for entrepreneurial firms operating in high-tech industries, until the credibility crisis of US-listed Chinese firms was triggered by Muddy Water Research in 2011. Overall, this thesis provides original evidence on the impact of international experience of CEOs and makes important implication on the benefits realization of brain gains in countries with weak legal institutions.

Abstract:

The aim of the present study is to gain a deeper understanding of decision-making of individuals involved in the entrepreneurial process. It is achieved by comparing entrepreneurs with different level of expertise in contexts that are more or less entrepreneurship-inducing. The issues of learning and expertise – investigation of what entrepreneurial knowledge is and how it is applied – are also addressed. This is an attempt of a multidisciplinary study based on entrepreneurship theory and empirical research as well as cognitive psychology. The cognitive perspective provides a link between the entrepreneur and the new venture creation through focusing not on the personality traits, but on an individual’s cognitive behaviour. The study’s contributions to the field of entrepreneurship are as follows: Expert entrepreneurs do recognise the cognitive nature of the decision task and are able, to a high extent, to match their decision-making techniques with the nature of the task. It means that the entrepreneurial decision-making is not an inborn aptitude but a skill, which is expressed through the adaptable behaviour of experts. Novice entrepreneurs, however, do not possess this ability, even though they might acquire it in the course of their business lives. Thus, one of the most important implications of the study is the idea that adequate decision behaviour in entrepreneurial context can be taught and learned. To provide optimal methods of learning is a challenge faced by entrepreneurship education.

Abstract:

The monograph contains methodological and methodological approaches to the formation of business decisions in the conditions of uncertainty. We used the experience of evaluating successful and unsuccessful entrepreneurial decisions of the authors in the industries that have been developing in our country for many years and decades, and which began to develop as modern types of business relatively recently. The peculiarity of the monograph is the emphasis on the consideration of business risk management as factors of development. For students and teachers, as well as all those interested in business.

Abstract:

It is legally established that entrepreneurial activity is risky, that is, the actions of entrepreneurs in the conditions of established market relations, competition, the functioning of the entire system of economic laws cannot be calculated and implemented with complete certainty. Many decisions in entrepreneurial activity have to be made in conditions of uncertainty, when it is necessary to choose a course of action from several possible options, the implementation of which is difficult to predict.

Abstract:

The Croatian constitution-maker’s dedication to the concept of a social state begets the state’s duty to care for public health. This duty is especially salient amid the SARS-CoV-2 virus pandemic. One would be well-advised to be watchful of the dangers that periods of crisis pose for the viability of liberal democracies: in Croatia, protective measures against the COVID-19 disease have been entrusted to the national Civil Protection Command in an initially illegal way. This was later on retroactively convalidated by legislative “patchwork” solutions. It is to be expected that the issue of such measures’ constitutionality will in the foreseeable future present itself on the Constitutional Court’s docket. This paper focuses on one of the most contentious measures - that of a ban on Sunday trade, particularly its implications for the economic constitutional rights such as the right of ownership and entrepreneurial freedom. Furthermore, the authors’ analysis of several Constitutional Court’s decisions from the time of the previous economic crisis will endeavor to anticipate the Court’s decisions in upcoming cases.

Abstract:

This study aims to analyze the behavior when making the decision to become entrepreneurs of young people aged 21-23 (economics undergraduates in their final year at universities in Romania and Hungary). The tool used in the analysis is the questionnaire applied that revealed the factors making up the behavior when deciding to start a business. Knowing their motivation will allow them to understand action decisions, development plans, as well as the perception of today's world and the new reality. Similar studies have highlighted the link between the behavior of the young generation, including starting a business, and access to the Internet using new technologies (43% of young people aged 21 to 24 spend between 4 and 8 hours a day in front of screens), lack of financial resources, difficulty in accessing funding sources, lack of career counseling or moral support from those close to you. Compared to the needs of students in Hungary, the study underlines, in the case of Romanian economists, the link between their behavior when facing the entrepreneurial decision and funding sources (lack of own funds, difficulty accessing funding sources), but also lack of career counseling. The identified solution is to support the establishment of a counseling center for economics students within the faculty following the model of the center that operates in the University of Hungary.

Abstract:

In the competence framework of the EU's educational policy, entrepreneurial and communication competences have a special place in the development of modern and functional citizenship, and they overlap to a great extent. The paper approaches entrepreneurial competences as transversal competences applicable in all areas of life – a system of competences transferred to different areas of activity. Communication competence is an expected outcome at all levels of education, and the paper highlights key communication competences that are relevant for entrepreneurial behavior as well. In addition to openness, flexibility, and other traits and competences shared by both systems of competences, the paper also underlines the common aspect of communication and entrepreneurial competence – situational awareness that represents the first step in improving communication, whereas entrepreneurial awareness guides adequate decision-making in entrepreneurship. This connection between communication and entrepreneurial competence directs teachers to implement teaching procedures to develop communication competences that, at the same time, contribute to the development of entrepreneurial competence.

Abstract:

Entrepreneurship is seen as the main factor of development and growth in all countries. Therefore, numerous studies related to entrepreneurship are performed. The studies aimed at the factors that affect entrepreneurship usually pursued the way that the occurrence of entrepreneurial intention is explained by positive premises. This study was carried out by starting from the idea that there can be negative factors influencing the entrepreneurial intention such as hopelessness, helplessness, haplessness, and nepotism. In this context, a survey was conducted with the students from universities located in the provinces in eastern Turkey. According to the results of the study, the feeling of hopelessness and haplessness has no influence over entrepreneurial intention. It is concluded that the feeling of helplessness affects the entrepreneurial intention adversely while nepotism influences it positively. In light of the findings, some recommendations were made to decision makers.
