Entrepreneurial learning, opportunity recognition and development - Evaluating the impact of a training programme at TSiBA Education, Cape Town, South AfricaSamsodien, Adeeb January 2017 (has links)
Magister Commercii - MCom (Business and Finance) / The
youth
of
South
Africa
is
currently
faced
with
high
levels
of
unemployment
and
poverty.
This
raises
concerns
about
the
future
of
the
South
African
people
and
its
economy.
Consequently,
much
is
needed
to
develop
the
youth
to
allow
for
a
prosperous
future.
A
decrease
in
poverty
and
unemployment
was
found
to
be
linked
to
an
increase
in
education.
Entrepreneurial
education
can
have
a
significant
impact
on
entrepreneurial
success.
This
research
paper
aims
to
assess
the
influence
of
entrepreneurial
education
and
training
on
students' entrepreneurial
development.
To
ensure
a
comprehensive
assessment
of
the
development
of
students,
I
utilised
a
mixed
methodology
to
assess
students
both
quantitatively
and
qualitatively.
The
study
assessed
a
sample
of
students
from
South
Africa
and
the
United
States
of
America
who
jointly
partook
in
a
two-week
entrepreneurial
education
and
training
programme
at
TSiBA
Education,
Cape
Town,
South
Africa.
Entrepreneurial
education
and
training
had
a
positive
effect
on
the
students'
entrepreneurial
development,
entrepreneurial
orientation
and
intentions
to
start
a
business.
While
entrepreneurial
orientation
aids
the
exploitation
of
business
opportunities,
before
opportunities
can
be
exploited
they
must
be
recognised.
Bringing
into
question
the
link
between
students'
entrepreneurial
orientation
and
their
abilities
to
recognise
and
develop
opportunities
into
successful
ventures.
To
explore
this
I
interviewed
two
participants
and
found
the
high
entrepreneurially
orientated
participant
to
exhibit
greater
opportunity
recognition
and
development
abilities,
compared
to
the
low
entrepreneurially
orientated
participant.
I
concluded
by
finding
that
although
differences
do
exist
between
high
and
low
entrepreneurially
orientated
students,
entrepreneurial
education
and
training
could
positively
influence
students'
entrepreneurial
orientation
and
assist
in
the
development
of
entrepreneurs.
The
results
suggest
that
TSiBA
Education
should
attempt
to
increase
the
duration
of
the
entrepreneurial
programme
to
maximize
the
influence
of
the
entrepreneurial
education
and
training.

Previous issue date: 2012-08-30 / The purpose of this study was to analyze the entrepreneurial profile of students graduating in the Business Administration course of a Private Institution of Higher Education for identifying the need to improve the Pedagogical Project of the Course and consequent actions of its faculty in the formation of entrepreneurial students. The research has as methodological support the quali-quantitative or mixed approach, characterized as a descriptive exploratory study. For quantitative data collection, were utilized a questionnaire and a test of entrepreneurial tendency (TED), and for qualitative data collection, a semi-structured interview and document analysis. .The questionnaire and the test were applied to 30 students graduating in Business administration and an interview was conducted with six of these students and another with three professors of the course. The application of the test of entrepreneurial tendency revealed that the students were classified near the expected parameter in the dimensions need for achievement and tendency to have autonomy and independence , below the parameter in the dimensions tendency to take risk and creative tendency and only above the parameter in the dimension tendency to tale initiative and determination . Through the document analysis of the Administration Course, only brief mentions related to the entrepreneurial formation of students were found in the general objective of the course and in the professiographic profile of the graduating, and the presence of a discipline about Entrepreneurship and New Business Creation in the curriculum program. The professors interviewed, in an isolated attitude, informed that they promote discussions about the subject, but this is not a standard procedure, because it is not a systematized practice established in the course pedagogical project, in the teaching plans and in the teaching plans. The students interviewed manifested expectation related to the formation focused on entrepreneurship, but did not perceive specific instruments in the course destined to the development of entrepreneurial characteristics, neither an integrating effort of the disciplines for awakening and stimulating them to initiate their own business. It was concluded that the structure of the course under analysis should be reevaluated with the purpose of promoting interdisciplinarity and increasing the content of courses directly related to the subject in order to provide students the development of the needed entrepreneurial skills for increasing their success chance in undertaking their own business. / O objetivo desta pesquisa foi analisar o perfil empreendedor dos alunos concluintes do curso de Administração de uma Instituição de Ensino Superior Privada a fim de identificar a necessidade de aprimorar o Projeto Pedagógico de Curso e a atuação consequente de seu corpo docente na formação empreendedora dos alunos. A pesquisa teve como suporte metodológico a abordagem quanti-qualitativa, caracterizando-se como um estudo exploratório-descritivo. Para a coleta de dados quantitativos foram utilizados um questionário e um teste de tendência geral empreendedora (TEG) e, para a coleta de dados qualitativos, entrevista semiestruturada e análise documental. Os dados quantitativos foram coletados junto a 30 alunos concluintes e os dados qualitativos, junto a seis alunos e três professores do curso de Administração. A aplicação do teste de tendência empreendedora revelou que os estudantes se situaram próximos do parâmetro esperado nas dimensões necessidade de realização e tendência a ter autonomia e independência , abaixo do parâmetro nas dimensões tendência a assumir riscos e tendência criativa e apenas acima do parâmetro na dimensão tendência a ter iniciativa e determinação . Por meio da análise de documentos relativos ao curso de Administração, apenas foram constatadas referências breves sobre a formação empreendedora do estudante no objetivo geral do curso e no perfil profissiográfico do egresso, bem como a presença de uma disciplina sobre Empreendedorismo e Criação de Novos Negócios na matriz curricular. Os professores entrevistados, em atitudes isoladas, informaram que promovem discussões sobre o tema, mas esse não é o procedimento padrão, pois não existe uma prática sistematizada prevista no projeto pedagógico do curso, nos planos de ensino e na prática docente. Os estudantes entrevistados manifestaram expectativa quanto à formação focada no empreendedorismo, contudo não perceberam instrumentos específicos no curso destinados ao desenvolvimento de características empreendedoras, tampouco um esforço integrador das disciplinas para despertá-los e estimulá-los a empreender seu próprio negócio. Concluiu-se que a estrutura do curso em questão deve ser reavaliada com a finalidade de promover a interdisciplinaridade e incrementar os conteúdos das disciplinas diretamente ligadas ao tema, além de introduzir outros relacionados ao assunto a fim de proporcionar aos estudantes o desenvolvimento das habilidades empreendedoras necessárias para aumentar sua chance de sucesso ao empreenderem seus próprios negócios.

A situational analysis of entrepreneurship mentors in South AfricaWatson, Gavin Edward Halliday 30 November 2004 (has links)
The South African government, in an attempt to accelerate economic growth and development, has identified the SMME sector and entrepreneurs as a vehicle capable of bringing about this change.
Unfortunately, this growth has been stifled due to the high failure rate of entrepreneurial businesses in the SMME sector. A possible solution for SMMEs and entrepreneurs is the introduction of mentoring. Mentoring entrepreneurs is the function of nurturing and supporting entrepreneurs by providing them with professional skills development and moral support in an attempt to positively impact on the business's sustainability. The study is the first of its kind in that it relates specifically to entrepreneurship mentors. This study empirically endeavours to determine the basic profile of entrepreneurship mentors in South Africa and their skills sets. The study aims to represent the importance of the skills as represented in the model and to understand the entrepreneurship mentoring environment in South Africa. / Business Management / M. Com.

Ecossistemas de inovação e empreendedorismo: uma contribuição de análise na Rede AGROINNCUBA / Ecosystems of innovation and entrepreneurship: a contribution of qualitative analysis in the AGROINNCUBA NetworkAraujo, Níddia Mari Alves de 14 December 2018 (has links)
Visando o crescimento de empresas de base tecnológica, nota-se um movimento de cooperação entre Universidades, incubadoras de empresas, parques científicos e outros segmentos da sociedade nacional e internacional, com o objetivo de conectar e estimular redes de conhecimento para que o empreendedorismo seja fomentado de forma eficiente e proporcione a geração de empresas estruturadas e sadias a médio e longo prazo. O principal objetivo desse trabalho foi buscar contribuir com o estudo de como são gerados os ambientes chamados de ecossistemas de inovação, uma vez que o foco esteve voltado para uma pesquisa qualitativa, através da análise de depoimentos, de parte dos atores envolvidos em estudo de caso ligado à rede internacional de incubadoras e parques científicos/tecnológicos do sistema agroalimentar, denominada AGROINNCUBA e apoiada pelo Programa CYTED. Após a análise e observação dos discursos dos coordenadores e responsáveis pelas incubadoras de empresas vinculadas à AGROINNCUBA, pôde-se perceber que o fomento do empreendedorismo de fato ocorre no ecossistema a que incubadoras de empresas e parques estão inseridos. Ao final, foram confirmadas as hipóteses iniciais, uma vez que: a) o estudo de caso sugere que as incubadoras e parques científicos e ou tecnológicos da rede constituem parte de um ecossistema de inovação e que a o vínculo com centros de pesquisa e universidades mostrou-se vital para o seu bom funcionamento e, b) que a Rede AGROINNCUBA é formada por um conjunto de membros mais maduros e outro conjunto com membros ainda em consolidação. A interação entre esses dois grupos foi considerada saudável e produtiva no sentido de se buscarem processos de evolução e compartilhamento de curvas de experiências. / Aiming at the growth of technology-based companies, there is a movement of cooperation between universities, business incubators, science parks and other segments of national and international society, with the objective of connecting and stimulating knowledge networks so that entrepreneurship is fostered efficiently and provide the generation of structured and healthy companies in the medium and long term. The main objective of this work was to contribute to the study of how the so-called ecosystems of innovation are generated, once the focus was on a qualitative research, through the analysis of statements, on the part of the actors involved in a case study linked to the international network of incubators and science / technology parks of the agro-food system, named AGROINNCUBA and supported by the CYTED Program. After analyzing and observing the speeches of the coordinators and managers of the incubators of companies linked to AGROINNCUBA, it was possible to see that the promotion of entrepreneurship actually occurs in the ecosystem to which business incubators and parks are inserted. In the end, the initial hypotheses were confirmed, since: a) the case study suggests that incubators and science and technology parks in the network are part of an innovation ecosystem with strong links with research centers and universities. This connection was vital to the genesis and its proper functioning and, b) that the AGROINNCUBA Network is formed by a group of more mature members and another group with members still in consolidation. The interaction between these two groups was considered healthy and productive in order to look for processes of evolution and sharing of experience curves.

Processus d'innovation dans l'entrepreneuriat : la place des artefacts dans l'activité en équipe-projet / Innovation process in entrepreneurship : the place of artifacts in the project-team activityPoidi, Kanina Irène 08 February 2019 (has links)
Cette thèse défend un modèle de l’entrepreneuriat en équipe en tant que processus dynamique, en évolution au niveau global et systémique, médiatisé par les TIC. Nous présentons l’entrepreneuriat en équipe comme une activité en contexte, qui s’incarne dans une culture, une histoire, un environnement, et qui se développe au travers même des moments d’interaction qu’elle génère. Ces moments de coopération et de coordination en équipes localisées, ou multi-localisées (Vacherand-Revel, 2017) constituent des espaces d’intersubjectivité (Zarifian 1996) dans lesquels différents artefacts entrent en jeu. Nous émettons l’hypothèse que ces artefacts dans l’activité vont participer activement au développement de l’activité entrepreneuriale innovante en servant de support à la formation des équipes, à l’élaboration des idées, et à la conception. Basées sur un protocole méthodologique qualitatif et développemental, nos analyses mettent en évidence plusieurs facteurs et ressources de l’activité, notamment le dispositif de formation entrepreneuriale, et les artefacts mobilisés par les acteurs. Ces artefacts dans l’activité (Adé, 2000), sont transformés en artefacts de l’activité au cours de processus de genèse instrumentale (Rabardel, 1995). Ils peuvent alors prendre un statut d’objets intermédiaires (Vinck, 1999, 2009) ou d’objets-frontières (Star, 2010, Vinck, 2009) au sein de l’activité. Les analyses montrent le rôle prépondérant de l’objet d’innovation, qui est l’œuvre commune de l’équipe. Il est à la fois un aboutissement et un point de départ permettant le développement des intentions de l’équipe et de la trajectoire du projet. L’objet d’innovation nait d’un processus de conception et de création (Almudever, 2012). Ces analyses montrent l’interdépendance des situations de coopération et de conception collective dans la formalisation de l’objet d’innovation. La nature du projet entrepreneurial, objet construit et en construction, souligne l’intérêt d’un dialogue entre théories de l’activité et théories de l’action. / This thesis defends a model of entrepreneurship as a dynamic, global and systemic process, mediated by technologies. We present entrepreneurship as an activity in context, embodied in a culture, a story, an environment, and which develops itself through interactions. The moments of cooperation and coordination in localized teams, or multi-localized teams (Vacherand-Revel, 2017) constitute spaces of intersubjectivity (Zarifian 1996) in which different artefacts are used. We hypothesize that these artifacts in the activity will actively participate in the development of innovative entrepreneurial activity by providing support for team training, idea development, and design. Based on a qualitative and developmental methodological protocol, the analysis highlights several factors and resources of the activity, in particular the entrepreneurial training device, and the artefacts mobilized by the actors. These artifacts in the activity (Adé, 2000) are transformed into artifacts of the activity during instrumental genesis processes (Rabardel, 1995). They can then take a status of intermediate objects (Vinck, 1999, 2009) or boundary objects (Star, 2010, Vinck, 2009) within the activity. The analysis shows the predominant role of the innovation object, which is a common production of the team. It is both an outcome and a starting point for the development of intentions and the trajectory of the project. The innovation object arises from a process of design and creation (Almudever, 2012). This research shows the interdependence of the situations of cooperation and collective design in the formalization of the innovation object. The nature of the entrepreneurial project – an object built and under construction - highlights the interest of a dialogue between Activity theory and Action theories.
