  • 본 연구는 중소 벤처기업에서 성과에 가장 중요한 영향을 미치는 요소인 기업가를 대상으로 기업가의 정치적 기술과 사회적 네트워크가 기업가적 성과와 어떤 영향관계를 갖는지 고찰하고자 한 탐색적 성격의 실증적 연구이다. 연구결과 기업가의 사회적 역량인 정치적 기술은 사회적 네트워크와 기업가적 성과에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, 사회적 네트워크는 일부 하위 요소만이 기업가적 성과에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 특히 약한 유대의 네트워크 원천은 정치적 기술과 기업가적 성과를 완전매개하는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 이 같은 연구결과는 중소 벤처기업에서 성과 창출에 중요한 영향을 미치는 요소인 기업가를 대상으로 역량과 성과의 관계를 고찰했다는 점, 그리고 기업가의 사회적 네트워크가 사회적 역량인 정치적 기술과 기업가적 성과 사이에서 어떤 역할을 하는지를 구체적으로 밝혔다는 점에서 의의가 크다. 또한 정치적 기술이라는 구체적이고도 새로운 선행변수의 도입과 사회적 네트워크의 역할 수립이라는 점에서 이론적 공헌이 있을 뿐만 아니라, 성과 창출 이전 단계에 해당하는 기업가의 역량 개발에 관한 실제적인 정보를 제공했다는 점에서 실무적 공헌을 찾을 수 있겠다.

  • Entrepreneurial intention is receiving immense recognition in entrepreneurship researches, as it motives an individual to become an entrepreneur. Still, the interplay between gender perspective and contextual factors (i.e., access to capital, business information, social network, educational support, structural support) are not fully investigated in understanding the entrepreneurial intention in developing countries like Bangladesh. Therefore, the paper aims to examine the gender difference and educational discipline difference in the university's students' entrepreneurial intention in relation to contextual factors in Bangladesh. In this study, sample has been particularly taken from the different disciplinary students of private universities. Five-point Likert scale-based survey questionnaire was developed based on past researches. 280 online survey forms were distributed among the university students and finally 225 students' response were found correct as the study sample size (final survey response rate = 80%), after eliminating the incorrect survey responses. For statistical analysis SPSS 23.0 version is used. One-way ANOVA is used to measure the gender and discipline difference on entrepreneurial intention among male and female students. The results show that business information and social network will have more influence on male students' entrepreneurial intention, and comparatively, business students have more willingness to become entrepreneurs than other departmental students.

  • Recently, the start-up firms have been under the spotlight because they can create many jobs and are regarded as the growth engine of a country in the fourth industrial revolution. Moreover, after the global financial debacle, many countries emphasize on an entrepreneurial spirit and venture firms. they also pay attention to the importance of educations to promote the start-up firms. In this work, based on technology acceptance model, we try to identify the main factors of accepting online start-up education system. We first defined this system as the online start-up education system which refers to a system to support learning for knowledge, experiences and overall process of start-up firms' tasks. This system also simulates tasks related with prep-entrepreneur so that can be regarded as a kind of decision support systems. As this system has some characteristics, we confirmed some factors of extended technology acceptance model. In our experiments, we find that the perceived ease of use and trust are main factors of acceptance for the online start-up education systems. These results mean that the system should be made to be easy and trustful for their users. Therefore, we expect that this work will be helpful to researchers and developers who consider start-up education systems and provide a way to activate founding start-up firms.

  • COVID-19 presented the world with a severe loss of life and impact, which has no geographical bounds or expected time to when its effects will subside. It has affected countries across the globe, disrupting economic levels and businesses in every industry while also altering individuals' everyday lives. The current research aims to examine the impact of coronavirus pandemic on entrepreneur's business activities and their perceptions on the difference in consumer behavior during this time. The findings reveal the pandemic negatively impacted business productivity and profits, forcing many businesses to physically close permanently. Surprisingly, female entrepreneurs do not perceive a change in consumer behavior compared to pre-COVID-19 times. Interestingly, the results indicate there is a negative impact on employees' efficiency to conduct work in which almost no research has conveyed such a finding. For this purpose, a survey was conducted with 445 responses from male and female entrepreneurs in the capital city of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, using a simple random sample over the period of four months. Ultimately, this research will help entrepreneurs gain more knowledge and a deeper understanding of this new environment necessary to undertaking certain measures and adaptability in order to sustain their businesses during unprecedented times.
