Educators and students in entrepreneurship education are challenging the “think entrepreneur–think male” paradigm

Purpose – The paradigm “think entrepreneur–think male” continues to prevail in entrepreneurship education(EE). Aiming to explore how EE educators and EE students engage with this paradigm, this paper examines how students’ beliefs about entrepreneurship are shaped within the classroom.Design/methodology/approach – This study is based on a single case comprising 32 interviews with EE students and educators from a variety of higher education institutions in the Netherlands. Observations were conducted in a learning environment where undergraduate students from a range of EE minors (general, social and tech entrepreneurship) collaborated on projects under the guidance of entrepreneurship educators.Findings – Our findings reveal that gendered constructs are deeply embedded in EE, shaping perceptions of entrepreneurship. However, these constructs are changing and challenging the “think entrepreneur–think male”.Originality/value – This study contributes to gender and entrepreneurship literature by challenging the existence of the prevailing paradigm “think entrepreneur–think male” in EE. We emphasise the importance ofacknowledging individual entrepreneurial motivations while recognising gendered constructs in entrepreneurial support and resource access.

The effects of an education program on social and sustainable entrepreneurship for primary school children

This paper provides new insights into entrepreneurship education (EE) for children, by combining three elements that expand the EE literature in a novel direction: (1) the content focus is on social and sustainable entrepreneurship; (2) the educational setting studied is primary education; and (3) the focus is on the effects as perceived by the participating children themselves.Explorative research was done on two programs delivered by EE provider Fawaka School of Entrepreneurship in the city of Amsterdam, the Netherlands. A one-group pre-test/post-test survey among the full population of 450 participating children was conducted in 2021. The results provide clues that a program focused on sustainable and social entrepreneurship can provide different results than more ‘general’ programs on entrepreneurship, in particular with regard to differences between girls and boys. After the program, differences in entrepreneurial intentions are significantly smaller, and a number of significant differences with regard to self-confidence disappear.

Preparing undergraduate students for lifelong learning

This thesis presents an exploration of ‘how entrepreneurship education pedagogy can enhance undergraduate business students’ autonomous motivation for self-directed learning’. It has twin, equally valuable, purposes: to make an original theoretical contribution and to improve professional practice in this area. The work addresses the lack of pedagogical research in entrepreneurship education that focuses on learner development, with a specific aim at development of self-directed learning skills for lifelong learning. The research is approached with a concurrent, mixed methods design, comparing pre- and a post-EE, self-assessment survey results from 245 students, enrolled in a Young Enterprise venture creation programme, and a control group at a Dutch university. With the use of open-question surveys among the same population, during and after the EE modules, as well as from focus group discussions with a selection of participating students and teachers, explanation was sought for the observations drawn from the quantitative study. Significant relationships were found between students’ self-reported maturity of autonomy, self-efficacy, and motivation for learning, and in how these relate to self-directed learning readiness. Entrepreneurship education was found to significantly moderate the relationship between the learning characteristics and self-directed learning, and to strengthen of the students’ perceived readiness for self-directed learning. Explanation for the impact of EE were found to be related to the stage-wise, mixed pedagogy approach to learning, that combines authentic learning with a hierarchical approach to competence development, and supportive team dynamics. The research contributes to practice with a proposed conceptual framework for understanding how to prepare for self-directed learning readiness and a teaching-learning framework for its development in formal educational settings. It contributes to knowledge with its deeper understanding of how students experience learning in EE and how that affects their willingness to pursue learning opportunities.

Audiovisual Education and Training Network for European Vocational Excellence

The European creative visual industry is undergoing rapid technological development, demanding solid initiatives to maintain a competitive position in the marketplace. AVENUE, a pan-European network of Centres of Vocational Excellence, addresses this need through a collaboration of five independent significant ecosystems, each with a smart specialisation. AVENUE will conduct qualified industry-relevant research to assess, analyse, and conclude on the immediate need for professional training and educational development. The primary objective of AVENUE is to present opportunities for immediate professional and vocational training, while innovating teaching and learning methods in formal education, to empower students and professionals in content creation, entrepreneurship, and innovation, while supporting sustainability and healthy working environments. AVENUE will result in a systematised upgrade of workforce to address the demand for new skills arising from rapid technological development. Additionally, it will transform the formal education within the five participating VETs, making them able to transition from traditional artistic education to delivering skills, mindsets and technological competencies demanded by a commercial market. AVENUE facilitates mobility, networking and introduces a wide range of training formats that enable effective training within and across the five ecosystems. A significant portion of the online training is Open Access, allowing professionals from across Europe to upgrade their skills in various processes and disciplines. The result of AVENUE will be a deep-rooted partnership between five strong ecosystems, collaborating to elevate the European industry. More than 2000 professionals, employees, students, and young talents will benefit from relevant and immediate upgrading of competencies and skills, ensuring that the five European ecosystems remain at the forefront of innovation and competitiveness in the creative visual industry.

Carbon management for tour operators (CARMATOP)

Client: Foundation Innovation Alliance (SIA - Stichting Innovatie Alliantie) with funding from the ministry of Education, Culture and Science (OCW) Funder: RAAK (Regional Attention and Action for Knowledge circulation) The RAAK scheme is managed by the Foundation Innovation Alliance (SIA - Stichting Innovatie Alliantie) with funding from the ministry of Education, Culture and Science (OCW). Early 2013 the Centre for Sustainable Tourism and Transport started work on the RAAK-MKB project ‘Carbon management for tour operators’ (CARMATOP). Besides NHTV, eleven Dutch SME tour operators, ANVR, HZ University of Applied Sciences, Climate Neutral Group and ECEAT initially joined this 2-year project. The consortium was later extended with IT-partner iBuildings and five more tour operators. The project goal of CARMATOP was to develop and test new knowledge about the measurement of tour package carbon footprints and translate this into a simple application which allows tour operators to integrate carbon management into their daily operations. By doing this Dutch tour operators are international frontrunners.Why address the carbon footprint of tour packages?Global tourism contribution to man-made CO2 emissions is around 5%, and all scenarios point towards rapid growth of tourism emissions, whereas a reverse development is required in order to prevent climate change exceeding ‘acceptable’ boundaries. Tour packages have a high long-haul and aviation content, and the increase of this type of travel is a major factor in tourism emission growth. Dutch tour operators recognise their responsibility, and feel the need to engage in carbon management.What is Carbon management?Carbon management is the strategic management of emissions in one’s business. This is becoming more important for businesses, also in tourism, because of several economical, societal and political developments. For tour operators some of the most important factors asking for action are increasing energy costs, international aviation policy, pressure from society to become greener, increasing demand for green trips, and the wish to obtain a green image and become a frontrunner among consumers and colleagues in doing so.NetworkProject management was in the hands of the Centre for Sustainable Tourism and Transport (CSTT) of NHTV Breda University of Applied Sciences. CSTT has 10 years’ experience in measuring tourism emissions and developing strategies to mitigate emissions, and enjoys an international reputation in this field. The ICT Associate Professorship of HZ University of Applied Sciences has longstanding expertise in linking varying databases of different organisations. Its key role in CARMATOP was to create the semantic wiki for the carbon calculator, which links touroperator input with all necessary databases on carbon emissions. Web developer ibuildings created the Graphical User Interface; the front end of the semantic wiki. ANVR, the Dutch Association of Travel Agents and Tour operators, represents 180 tour operators and 1500 retail agencies in the Netherlands, and requires all its members to meet a minimum of sustainable practices through a number of criteria. ANVR’s role was in dissemination, networking and ensuring CARMATOP products will last. Climate Neutral Group’s experience with sustainable entrepreneurship and knowledge about carbon footprint (mitigation), and ECEAT’s broad sustainable tourism network, provided further essential inputs for CARMATOP. Finally, most of the eleven tour operators are sustainable tourism frontrunners in the Netherlands, and are the driving forces behind this project.

Hanze Innovation Traineeship Pilot

Het Hanze Innovation Traineeship Pilot project is geïnitieerd op de Hanzehogeschool Groningen door drie onderzoeksgroepen (lectoraten) die zijn ingebed in het Marian van Os Centre of Expertise Ondernemen (CoEO). De trainees worden gecoacht in een Community of Learners en begeleid door een diverse groep van onderzoekers van de volgende onderzoeksgroepen van de Hanzehogeschool Groningen: (1) International Business, (2) Marketing/Marktgericht Ondernemen en (3) User-Centered Design. Het doel van het programma is om regionale MKBs in Noord-Nederland te ondersteunen om duurzaam te innoveren met de hulp en ondersteuning van trainees en onderzoekers van de drie onderzoeksgroepen. De trainees worden begeleid bij het ontwikkelen en implementeren van een door onderzoek ondersteunde innovatie tijdens een afstudeerproject en een 12-maanden durende traineeship bij het bedrijf. Bij de start van het programma ondergaan de MKBs een innovatie-gezondheids-check die wordt herhaald nadat de traineeship is afgerond. Over het algemeen zouden de bedrijven hun bedrijfsprestaties en innovatiecapaciteit moeten kunnen verbeteren door middel van het programma. Verder zal de onderzoekssamenwerking tussen de onderzoeksgroepen van de Hanzehogeschool en de MKBs leiden tot een beter inzicht in innovatiebarrières en succesfactoren. De opgedane kennis over regionale MKB-innovatie zal in alle sectoren en industrieën worden geprojecteerd. De uiteindelijke projectresultaten zullen dienen voor het besluitvormingsproces van toekomstige innovatie traineeship programma's

HiPerGreen

The Dutch floriculture is globally leading, and its products, knowledge and skills are important export products. New challenges in the European research agenda include sustainable use of raw materials such as fertilizer, water and energy, and limiting the use of pesticides. Greenhouse growers however have little control over crop growth conditions in the greenhouse at individual plant level. The purpose of this project, ‘HiPerGreen’, is to provide greenhouse owners with new methods to monitor the crop growth conditions in their greenhouse at plant level, compare the measured growth conditions and the measured growth with expected conditions and expected growth, to point out areas with deviations, recommend counter-measures and ultimately to increase their crop yield. The main research question is: How can we gather, process and present greenhouse crop growth parameters over large scale greenhouses in an economical way and ultimately improve crop yield? To provide an answer to this question, a team of university researchers and companies will cooperate in this applied research project to cover several different fields of expertise The application target is floriculture: the production of ornamental pot plants and cut flowers. Participating companies are engaged in the cultivation of pot plans, flowers and suppliers of greenhouse technology. Most of the parties fall in the SME (MKB) category, in line with the RAAK MKB objectives.Finally, the Demokwekerij and Hortipoint (the publisher of the international newsletter on floriculture) are closely involved. The project will develop new knowledge for a smart and rugged data infrastructure for growth monitoring and growth modeling in the greenhouse. In total the project will involve approximately 12 (teacher) researchers from the universities and about 60 students, who will work in the form of internships and undergraduate studies of interesting questions directly from the participating companies.

IMPACT-UP

Ondernemerschap is een krachtige manier om maatschappelijke opgaven aan te pakken en brede welvaart in de regio te stimuleren. Als Brabantse kennisinstellingen werken we samen met Provincie Noord-Brabant aan kennisontwikkeling over ondernemen met een positieve maatschappelijke impact. We doen dit middels de volgende projecten:1. Brabant Impact Class - Wie zijn de impact ondernemers in Brabant en waar lopen zij tegenaan? In dit project brengen we zoveel mogelijk ondernemingen in beeld die bijdragen aan impact. We vragen hen naar de kansen die ze zien en de belemmeringen die zij ervaren. We koppelen hun vragen aan studenten en docenten. Zij ondersteunen deze ondernemers op hun beurt weer in allerlei vakken en projecten – en dat draagt weer bij aan ons inzicht in impact ondernemen.2. Case Based Learning - We laten aansprekende voorbeelden van Brabantse impact ondernemers te laten zien in het onderwijs. Van deze voorbeelden van onze alumni worden cases ontwikkeld die vervolgens een plek krijgen in verschillende onderwijsprogramma’s. Zo vergroten wij de ondernemersdrive bij studenten en mogelijk ook het aantal studentondernemers.3. Businessmodel Ontwikkeling met Impact - Welke ondernemingen in Noord-Brabant zijn succesvol in het creëren van impact? Wat doen zij en wat kunnen anderen ervan leren? En tegen welke belemmeringen lopen zij aan? Dit project maakt succes- en faalfactoren inzichtelijk en deelbaar.4. Geld met Impact: Wie laat startups duurzaam groeien? - De startende en groeiende impact ondernemers en investeerders met ESG-drijfveren lijken elkaar niet goed te vinden. Dit project richt zich op het onderzoeken van de financiële kant van het ecosysteem. Hoe zijn investeringen van private en publieke partijen in startups, scale-ups en sociale ondernemingen een stimulans voor ondernemerschap met maatschappelijke impact en brede welvaart?5. Kennisecosysteem - We willen de kennis over impact ondernemen zoveel mogelijk van waarde laten zijn in Brabant. Dit doen we door ontmoetingen te organiseren voor impact ondernemers, studenten ondernemers, docenten ondernemerschap en begeleiders en coaches. Ook delen we de inzichten van het onderzoek.Deze ‘nieuwe’ kennis zetten we om in werkbare principes voor ondernemers (in spé). Dit doen we in samenwerking met impact ondernemers in de regio en aanbieders van ondersteuning. Zo werken we samen toe naar het inzetten van hoogwaardige Brabantse kennis voor de maatschappij van morgen.

Innovatie in economische opleiding: verbeteren hbo-docenten vaardigheid in het multidisciplinaire samenwerken door het gebruik van de geïntegreerde casemethode

Dit onderzoek gaat over het verbeteren van de multidisciplinaire samenwerkingsvaardigheden van hbo-docenten. Binnen Hogeschool Rotterdam Business School worden er meerdere initiatieven ondernomen om uit te zoeken welke methode deze belangrijke vaardigheid kan helpen ontwikkelen en ook past binnen de hbo-onderwijspraktijk. De “geïntegreerde casemethode” is geïdentificeerd door docenten als de meest effectieve methode. Deze methode gaat een stap verder dan de huidige algemeen gebruikte Harvard business methode. Dit gaat langs drie lijnen van integratie: 1) het integreren van onderzoek, schrijven en doceren van een case: in plaats van het gebruik van bestaande en vaak dure Harvard cases, worden hbo-docenten getraind om zelf een organisatieprobleem te onderzoeken, een case te schrijven en te doceren; 2) het integreren van regionale cases in business curricula: in plaats van buitenlandse (vaak Amerikaanse business stijl) cases te gebruiken, worden hbo-docenten geholpen om real-life cases te schrijven van organisaties en bedrijven in de regionale omgeving van de hogeschool; 3) het integreren van beroepspraktijk in onderwijspraktijk: aanvullend op behandeling van casestudies in theorie, worden bedrijven betrokken in de onderwijspraktijk. Studenten houden interviews met CEO’s/managers, voeren veldonderzoek uit in het bedrijf. Het bedrijf geeft feedback en beoordeelt eindresultaten. Deze methode is uitgeprobeerd door acht docenten van vier verschillende opleidingen tussen 2016-2018. Deze multidisciplinaire samenwerking leidde tot een succesvolle Engelstalige minor “Business Pressure Cooker” en “de Rotterdam International Case Competition”. Om dit succes te vergroten en een breder draagvlak te krijgen voor de geïntegreerde casemethode, is een methodiek nodig. Hierin kunnen meerdere docenten van verschillende opleidingen worden getraind. Het gewenste resultaat is dat a) docenten handvatten krijgen om de casemethode professioneler toe te passen in hun onderwijspraktijk; b) een kennisnetwerk ontwikkelen waardoor docenten van diverse opleidingen hun kennis/ervaring kunnen uitwisselen, kracht bundelen om case-based onderwijsonderdeel gezamenlijk uit te ontwikkelen.

Integrated Nature-Inclusive Circular Farming: agroforestry as a business model

In the Netherlands, the theme of transitioning to circular food systems is high on the national agenda. The PBL Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency has stressed that commuting to circular food chains requires a radical transformation of the food chain where (a) natural resources must be effectively used and managed (soil, water, biodiversity, minerals), (b) there must be an optimum use of food by reducing (food) waste . . ., (c) less environmental pressure, and (d) an optimum use of residue streams. The PBL also recognizes that there should be room for tailored solutions and that it is important to establish a benchmark, to be aware of impacts in the production chain and the added value of products. In the line of circular food systems, an integrated nature-inclusive circular farming approach is needed in order to develop a feasible resource-efficient and sustainable business models that brings shared value into the food chain while invigorating the rural areas including those where agricultural vacancy is occurring. Agroforestry is an example of an integrated nature-inclusive circular farming. It is a multifunctional system that diversifies and adapts the production while reducing the carbon footprint and minimizing the management efforts and input costs; where trees, crops and/or livestock open business opportunities in the food value chains as well as in the waste stream chains. To exploit the opportunities that agroforestry as an integrated resource-efficient farming system adds to the advancement towards (a) valuable circular short food chains, (b) nature-based entrepreneurship (nature-inclusive agriculture), and (c) and additionally, the re-use of abandoned agricultural spaces in the Overijssel province, this project mobilizes the private sector, provincial decision makers, financers and knowledge institutes into developing insights over the feasible implementation of agroforestry systems that can bring economic profit while enhancing and maintaining ecosystem services.

Ongelijke behandeling bij financieringsaanvragen en daarmee beperkte toegang tot financiering is voor vrouwelijke founders de belangrijkste barrière om te internationaliseren. Investeerders stellen vaak hun belang boven dat van de ondernemer en hebben een conservatieve insteek waar het gaat om investeren in bedrijven van vrouwelijke founders die internationaal willen groeien. In een vraagarticulatieproces gaven vrouwelijke founders aan dit als remmend ervaren: investeerders zouden vaak ‘een korte termijn visie hebben, en op vernuftige wijze, founders uit hun eigen bedrijf te ‘ontslaan’ en zelf verder gaan met het concept’. Dit vroegtijdig ‘ontzielen’ van bedrijven heeft op de lange termijn een averechts effect omdat deze bedrijven vaak niet succesvol blijken. Er is behoefte aan: 1. Inzicht in.de belangen van investeerders versus die van vrouwelijke founders 2. Meer bewustwording hoe er wordt aangekeken en omgegaan met vrouwelijke founders Daarom onderzoeken we: • De motieven van vrouwelijke ondernemers om internationaal te groeien • De knelpunten die zij ervaren bij het zoeken naar financiering/investeringen voor internationale groei • De motieven en belangen van investeerders om in vrouwelijke founders te investeren om de volgende onderzoeksvraag te beantwoorden: In hoeverre bestaat er een kloof tussen de belangen van vrouwelijke founders en die van investeerders? En daarmee : 1. Inzicht te ontwikkelen in de door vrouwelijke founders ervaren mismatch tussen hun belangen en die van investeerders 2. Een consortium voor een vervolgtraject te ontwikkelen dat voortbouwt op inzichten uit dit onderzoek om bovengenoemde mismatch op te lossen, 3. bijvoorbeeld door ontwikkeling van een "Gender due dilligence" met daarin nieuwe criteria die recht doen aan internationaliseringsambities van vrouwelijke founders. We sluiten aan bij de Kennis en Innovatieagenda van de missie Maatschappelijke Verdienvermogen en bouwen voor op eerder onderzoek van het HvA-brede lectoraat Entrepreneurship-. Het consortium bestaat uit Hogeschool van Amsterdam, Van Weerden BV en vertegenwoordigers van vrouwelijke ondernemersnetwerken, investeerders en investmentcoaches
