Het lectoraat Management van Cultuurverandering, een onderzoeksgroep van de Hogeschool van Amsterdam, legt zich onder andere toe op theorievorming rond organisatieculturen. Onderdeel daarvan is onderzoek doen naar mindsets. De fundamentele ideeën hierover kunnen ook voor andere doeleinden gebruikt worden. Daarom dit stuk, het is een uitkomst van een denkexperiment. Google investeert in de ontwikkeling van mensachtige robots, humanoids. Echt op mensen gelijkende machines die geschikt zijn functies te vervullen in ons sociale leven. Google heeft besloten meerdere bedrijven voor dit doel op te kopen en een onderzoeksgroep hiervoor op te richten. In deze tekst wordt uiteengezet hoe de mentale structuur van een humanoid eruit kan zien. Mindsets gebruikt in de theorievorming van het lectoraat kunnen misschien dienst doen als mentaal besturingssysteem van humanoid gedrag.

Excellentieprogramma’s staan sinds de start van het Sirius Programma hoog op de nationale onderwijsagenda. Intrinsiek gemotiveerde honoursstudenten prefereren docenten die hun motivatie voeden door autonomie-ondersteuning, gecombineerd met het bieden van structuur en verbondenheid. Deze studie richt zich op de samenhang tussen hoe een docent bepaalde aspecten in zijn/haar sociale werkomgeving ervaart en welke invloed dat heeft op zijn/haar doceerstrategie, in het bijzonder de strategie die autonomie ondersteunt. Daarnaast is ook nagegaan of de soort instelling (met of zonder Sirius subsidie) van invloed is op de autonomie-ondersteunende doceerstijl. De onderzochte hypothese luidt: het bieden van een autonomie-ondersteunende doceerstijl aan studenten in extracurriculaire excellentieprogramma’s hangt positief samen met docenten die zelf vrijheid ervaren vanuit hun sociale werkomgeving, die zelf intrinsiek gemotiveerd zijn, en die zelf een growth mindset hebben. Honoursdocenten (N = 47) van zes hogescholen hebben een digitale vragenlijst ingevuld. Correlatieberekeningen laten zien dat een fixed mindset gepaard gaat met het bieden van meer structuur, en dat het ervaren van druk vanuit de sociale werkomgeving gepaard gaat met het bieden van minder autonomie en minder structuur. De balans tussen autonomie en structuur en ervaren werkomgevingsdruk blijft een belangrijk thema voor toekomstig beleid en scholing rondom excellentieprogramma’s.

Using a series of case studies, we show that global mindset is at the heart of global growth and opportunity for entrepreneurial ventures. We review how having an entrepreneurial mindset and international experience influence the rapidity of internationalization by discussing the entrepreneurial process and how the global mindset of founders of born global firms influences their choices in the competitive landscape. This chapter closes with a discussion of a continuum — globalization frustrated (focusing on firms with entrepreneurs that have global mindsets but cannot internationalize) to globalization mandated (focusing on firms that are forced to be global).

Not having enough of what one needs has long been shown to have detrimental consequences for decision making. Recent work suggests that the experience of insufficient resources can create a “scarcity” mindset; increasing attention toward the scarce resource itself, but at the cost of attention for unrelated aspects. To investigate the effects of a scarcity mindset on consumer choice behavior, as well as its underlying neural mechanisms, we used an experimental manipulation to induce both a scarcity and an abundance mindset within participants and examined the effects of both mindsets on participants’ willingness to pay for familiar food items while being scanned using fMRI. Results demonstrated that a scarcity mindset affects neural mechanisms related to consumer decision making. When in a scarcity mindset compared with an abundance mindset, participants had increased activity in the orbitofrontal cortex, a region often implicated in valuation processes. Moreover, again compared with abundance, a scarcity mindset decreased activity in dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, an area well known for its role in goal-directed choice. This effect was predominant in the group of participants who experienced scarcity following abundance, suggesting that the effects of scarcity are largest when they are compared with previous situations when resources were plentiful. More broadly, these data suggest a potential neural locus for a scarcity mindset and demonstrate how these changes in brain activity might underlie goal-directed decision making.

Young adults with psychotic-spectrum disorder have lower odds of attaining educational goals, partly due to cognitive problems. Cognitive remediation (CR) could improve cognitive- and potentially academic functioning. The current study examined an adapted CR-intervention ‘Mindset’ aimed at academic functioning for people with a psychotic-spectrum disorder in secondary education. Pilot-feasibility study of Mindset including the experience of nine participants with psychotic-spectrum disorder who received Mindset and six CR trainers. Post-CR interviews with participants and trainers were subjected to qualitative evaluation. Furthermore, preliminary results from pre- to post-CR changes on the College Self-Efficacy Inventory (CSEI), Cognitive Problems and Strategies Assessment (CPSA) and Multidimensional Students’ Life Satisfaction Scale (MSLSS) are presented using Reliable Change Index (RCI) and effect-sizes (Cohen’s d). Qualitative evaluation showed that overall experience with Mindset was positive for participants and trainers. Mindset was not experienced as too difficult and aligned well with education. However, tailoring to the individual is required. Effect sizes in change from pre- to post-CR were small for school satisfaction (d = 0.25) and self-reported cognitive problems (d = 0.12), small to medium for increases in self-efficacy (d = 0.49) and large for increases in strategy use (d = 3.58). Feasibility of Mindset was good in terms of adaptation and expansion, implementation and limited efficacy. However, concerning acceptability, drop-out prior to Mindset was high and Mindset needs adjustment in terms of individual tailoring and language. Future studies have to attest to its efficacy.

Background: The full potential of social entrepreneurship remains challenging to achieve, despite continuous efforts in various economies, including South-East Asia. Several obstacles need to be addressed, such as the scarcity of skilled employees, limited business understanding among founders, difficulties accessing funding and infrastructure, and the absence of proper social impact measurement. Higher education institutions (HEIs) often face constraints in engaging and supporting early entrepreneurial activities, exacerbating the imbalance in the social entrepreneurship landscape. This imbalance has been observed in both Thailand and Myanmar. Research objectives: The Erasmus+ funded project, STEPup, running from 2020 to 2023, recognized an opportunity to foster innovative social entrepreneurship practices tailored for disruptive business settings in these two countries. By applying the challenge-based learning approach through interactive case challenge proceedings involving social entrepreneurs, faculty mentors and students, the development of the entrepreneurial mindset of the latter group was studied. Research design and methods: To accomplish this, a multi-method research design was chosen, which involved a case-challenge experience within the framework of 6 universities, a questionnaire-based survey conducted among the student population which took part in the case-challenge experience and desk research. Results: The study revealed the necessity for a self-organizing and organic support system for social entrepreneurship. The objective of this paper is to present recommendations and strategic guidelines to enhance access and opportunities for existing social enterprises and social entrepreneurs seeking to establish and sustain a social enterprise ecosystem. The proposed framework leverages the support, expertise, and structure of existing higher education institutions. Conclusions: Higher Education Institutions can serve as excellent cases demonstrating how to design and develop resource hubs for social enterprise practitioners and engage stakeholders from all sectors to address social issues and promote awareness.

Honours studenten hebben behoefte aan een autonomie-ondersteunende doceerstijl (Núñez, Fernández, León, & Grijalvo, 2014). In het huidige onderzoek onder docenten (N = 54) van zes hogescholen is van persoonlijke (intrinsieke motivatie, overtuiging met betrekking tot ontwikkelbaarheid van intelligentie en ervaren druk) en organisatorische kenmerken (type instelling) nagegaan of zij samenhangen met het bieden van een autonomie-ondersteunende doceerstijl in extracurriculaire excellentieprogramma’s. Docenten scoren hoog op de autonomie-ondersteunende doceerstijl. Correlationele analyse laat zien dat docenten die meer overtuigd zijn dat intelligentie niet ontwikkelbaar is (mindset theorie van Dweck), meer structuur bieden. Docenten die meer druk ervaren bieden minder autonomie én minder structuur. Organisatorische kenmerken van hogescholen lijken niet direct van invloed te zijn op autonomie-ondersteuning.

The paper draws a comprehensive overview of relevant.•The paper critically analyzes the state of the art, indicating directions for future research. The paper discusses adoption of Serious Games (SGs) for supporting development of an entrepreneurial mindset in university students of technical and scientific universities. The paper relies on the authors experience in the eSG project, which aims at introducing students, mainly through practice, to basic concepts of entrepreneurship and company management. In the framework of the project, courses have been designed and carried out in three different countries: Italy, Spain and the Netherlands.The paper discusses the main requirements for the courses and presents a table template, based on state of the art models for entrepreneurship education, that we have used for the scouting of the most suited SGs and defining the most appropriate mix for their use in the courses, keeping into account targeted competences and skills, usability and pedagogical effectiveness.Using the template, the paper draws a comprehensive overview of relevant SGs available on the market and identifies, through an expert analysis, key benefits and issues concerning their adoption in teaching entrepreneurship for the target students. Finally, the paper critically analyzes the state of the art, indicating directions for future research that should lead to development of more effective SGs for entrepreneurship education.
