- College environment and entrepreneurial intention in high school(2022-03-14) Edson Sadao Iizuka; MORAES, G. H. S. M. DE; SOUZA, M. G. DE© 2022, Edson Sadao Iizuka, Gustavo Hermínio Salati Marcondes de Moraes and Melissa Galdino de Souza.Purpose: There is no consensus on the most effective way to foster entrepreneurship in educational institutions, and educational policies on entrepreneurial activity differ significantly amidst organizations and contexts. Thus, the objective of this research is to analyze influence of the college environment and entrepreneurial characteristics on the entrepreneurial intention of Brazilian high school/technical students. Design/methodology/approach: The empirical research used partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) and a sample of 384 students of technical courses, such as Administration, Systems Development, Chemistry, Secretariat, among others. Findings: The proposed model was validated, and the hypotheses were confirmed, proving suitable for high school/technical education. Assessing the high school environment with this model can help determine each organization's strengths and weaknesses and, indeed, the impacts on the ecosystems in which it operates. The results of the multi-group analysis indicate differences concerning the courses as well. Research limitations/implications: The main limitations involve non-probabilistic sampling procedures and the collection having been carried out with a single cross-section. Practical implications: For managers and teachers, this article presents indicators to qualify the activities of the educational environment, considering teaching activities, extracurricular activities, fairs, actions of teachers and students, among other initiatives. Social implications: The article contributes to high school managers, particularly in technical schools, so that they understand the factors that influence the profile and entrepreneurial intention of students; in other words, something that can impact the lives of thousands of students, teachers and the community itself. Originality/value: This research presents a novel analysis of the antecedents that drive student entrepreneurship in an underexplored educational context in a developing country. The results show the necessary conditions for technical schools to foster entrepreneurial activity, feeding innovation ecosystems with entrepreneurial talent.
- Junior enterprise and entrepreneurial behavior in Brazil(2022-03-29) MORAES, G. H. S. M.; Edson Sadao Iizuka; ROCHA, A. K. L.; DIAFERIA, A. M.© 2021, Gustavo Hermínio Salati Marcondes de Moraes, Edson Sadao Iizuka, Anne Kathleen Lopes da Rocha and Amanda Mecchi Diaféria.Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to analyze what is the influence of the junior enterprise environment on the entrepreneurial profile and intention of university students and what is the difference in the entrepreneurial behavior between students who participated and students who did not participate in junior enterprises. Design/methodology/approach: A quantitative approach based on multivariate data analysis using confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling was applied to a sample of 549 respondents. Findings: Participation in junior enterprises influences the development of the students’ entrepreneurial profile more than their entrepreneurial intention. This study presents which behavioral characteristics are mostly developed with participation in a junior enterprise. Research limitations/implications: The questionnaire with perception conditions and self-assessment indicators; data collection by a single cross-sectional research design; the scope of the research, which did not use a probabilistic sampling. Practical implications: Practical implications are to assist higher education institutions in having a more accurate understanding of the role of junior enterprises in stimulating university entrepreneurship. To implement an effective entrepreneurial education, stimulating junior companies can be a fundamental action for the HEIs, and this is valid for courses in all areas. Entrepreneurial education in a practical context, as in the case of a junior company, can increase entrepreneurial intention. Originality/value: This research fills a research gap on the uncertainty of the effectiveness of entrepreneurial education in developing the entrepreneurial behavior and entrepreneurial intention of students, at least when considering the junior company as part of entrepreneurial education in the university context, presenting a robust quantitative methodology and a large sample in a developing country.
- Social business dilemmas in Brazil: Rede asta case(2015-01-05) Edson Sadao Iizuka; VARELA, C. A.; LARROUDE, E. R. A.© RAE.Social businesses seek financial, social and even environmental results. Academic knowledge on how such organizations operate, however, has emerged more recently. This article sought to investigate qualitatively the main tensions and dilemmas occurring throughout the history of Rede Asta, a pioneer social business in direct catalog sales of artisanal products in Brazil. Results indicate the Rede Asta managers have experienced tensions and dilemmas in three of the four categories identified by Smith, Gonin, and Besharov (2013): social and financial performance, organizational aspects and learning. One of the dilemmas involves organizational aspects and learning, since Asta achieves feasibility with two organizations: a nonprofit association and a for-profit corporation. On perceptions of belonging, stakeholders declared they felt they were a part of the organization's social and environmental goals; some even as activists.
- Mapping of Academic Production on Social Enterprises: An international analysis for the growth of this field(2018-12-05) ROMANI-DIAS, M.; Edson Sadao Iizuka; LARROUDE, E. R. A.; BARBOSA, A. D. S.© 2018 Marcello Romani-Dias et al., published by Sciendo.The purpose of this article is to identify, organize and analyze the international scientific production on social enterprises (SE). It presents the results of a bibliometric study combined with a systematic literature analysis. We analyzed 204 academic articles on the subject, from four different sources: (i) articles published in journals with high impact factors; (ii) most cited articles as per Google Scholar; (iii) articles addressing topics related to SE; and (iv) articles from the Social Enterprise Journal, specialized in the subject. Results point to remarkable recent growth in the field of SE, both theoretically and empirically. In addition, this study presents the main pieces of work, countries, institutions, research questions, methodology and results found in the SE literature. Studies have concentrated around six main categories: (1) understanding SE, through different approaches, concepts and models; (2) governance and relationships with stakeholders; (3) attempts to increase practical references and samples within the field; (4) organizational learning, structure and critical factors for success and failure of SE; (5) metrics, indicators and social impact generated by SE; and (6) legislation of different countries and how it relates to SE.
- Sustainability in management education: a Biggs’ 3P model application(2020-06-08) KANASHIRO, P.; Edson Sadao Iizuka; SOUSA, C.; DIAIS, S. E. F.© 2020, Emerald Publishing Limited.Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to assess the main factors that contribute to teaching and learning sustainability in management education (SiME), which is defined as a body of knowledge that meets the needs of both current and future generations of students. Design/methodology/approach: The authors adopt the Biggs’ Presage–Process–Product (3P) learning model to guide and categorize the findings from the literature review on SiME. This study provides an overview of journal articles published between 2002 and 2017. Findings: In the context of SiME, Biggs’ 3P model shows how teaching context and students’ background (presage factors) influence students’ approaches to learning, which can range from surface to deep learning (process) and result in various learning outcomes (products). Research limitations/implications: The literature review may have excluded important and relevant work from the sample. Practical implications: This review highlights that personal and institutional commitments are necessary to promote effective learning of sustainability. Social implications: Effective learning outcomes (deep learning) in sustainability should encourage students to reflect on their personal values and behaviors and to acquire analytical skills aimed at promoting conservation and remediation of social, environmental and economic problems. Originality/value: This paper provides an application of Biggs’ 3P learning model in the context of sustainability, which highlights the conditions for deep learning as critical given the complexity and urgency of addressing sustainability crises.
- Tensões organizacionais inerentes como elemento distintivo a natureza dos negócios sociais(2019-04-12) Seimor Walchhutter; Edson Sadao IizukaOs Negócios Sociais (NS) são como organizações lucrativas e possuem, simultaneamente, um propósito social e, em alguns casos, ambiental. A necessidade de conciliar esses objetivos pode fazer com que os NS sofram tensões organizacionais específicas em suas atividades. Nesse sentido, a complexidade que apresenta esse campo, devido ao seu caráter aparente-mente axiomático, é justamente o fator motivacional dessa pesquisa, que tem por objetivo compreender as tensões rela-tivas aos NS. Por meio de uma revisão da literatura em NS e de achados empíricos a partir de um estudo de casos múltiplos, foi possível identificar que os NS enfrentam desafios únicos ao combinarem objetivos distintos. Os resultados desta pesquisa demonstram que as tensões que ocorrem nas quatro dimen-sões organizacionais identificadas nos estudos de Smith, Gonin e Besharov (2013) proporcionam um desequilíbrio permanente característico a esse tipo organizacional que o distingue de organizações provenientes de outros setores da sociedade, identificadas nesse artigo como: tensões relacionados ao desempenho, à aspectos organizacionais, ao pertencimento e à aprendizagem, as quais, de acordo com a revisão teórica e achados empíricos, são inerentes aos NS.
