“…We can say that, traditionally, universities were only focused on two missions (research and teaching). However, over time, there was a need for many academics to participate and be involved in entrepreneurial activities (Etzkowitz 1998), which are considered the "third mission" of universities (Lopes et al 2020a(Lopes et al , 2020b.…”

“…Through its third entrepreneurial mission, academia may also nurture opportunities to launch partnerships, thereby helping regions to generate wealth and become more competitive (Lopes et al 2020a(Lopes et al , 2020b. It is important to understand the role played by regional and national stakeholders, as well as the existing barriers to entrepreneurial initiatives and the means to overcome them within the context of the entrepreneurial academy (Davey et al 2015).…”

“…It is important to understand the role played by regional and national stakeholders, as well as the existing barriers to entrepreneurial initiatives and the means to overcome them within the context of the entrepreneurial academy (Davey et al 2015). Consequently, researching university entrepreneurship is fundamental given its extreme importance to the economic development and growth of countries/regions (Lopes et al 2020a(Lopes et al , 2020b.…”

“…In recent years, entrepreneurship education has been extensively investigated (Kisubi et al 2021;Lopes et al 2020aLopes et al , 2020bMaula and Stam 2019;Alnasser et al 2021;Nguyen and Duong 2021;Aljaaidi and Waddah 2021;Wei et al 2019); however, with the constant changes in the market, it became necessary to develop studies that meet the expectations of the market within new conjectures such as the COVID-19 pandemic (Bigos and Michalik 2020;Hernández-Sánchez et al 2020).…”

This research aims to study the determinants of entrepreneurial intention in academia and compare the outcomes from two different moments, before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. For this purpose, a quantitative methodology was used, whereby a questionnaire was given to higher education students in these two chronological moments. From the obtained results, it was possible to ascertain that, given the motivational dimension, the attitude towards behavior and perceived behavioral control are having a positive impact on entrepreneurial intentions during the pandemic and that subjective norms have a negative impact on entrepreneurial intentions. This relationship of influences is unchanged, either before or during the pandemic. Regarding the environmental dimension, both of the variables under analysis are having a negative impact on entrepreneurial intention during the pandemic period, which corresponds to an aggravation or loss of positive influences when compared to the context before the pandemic, and the next assessment had a positive impact on entrepreneurial intentions. On the theoretical contributions, the findings are very important, as they strengthen the literature on entrepreneurial intentions, and in specific contexts of social and economic instability. As for practical contributions, this research suggests actions to agents with an important intervention role in the community, one of these agents is Higher Education Institutions, which play a determining role by creating a positive environment to support their students’ entrepreneurial intent. This research is original, as far as we are informed, and it is the first to study entrepreneurial intention in academia during the COVID-19 pandemic in the Portuguese context. Moreover, we suggest that the obtained results should be succeeded by further studies to confirm the evolutionary trends now identified on the subject under analysis.

“…Over recent decades, there has been a rising interest in understanding innovation and entrepreneurship practices from the perspective of regional development (Cooke & Leydesdorff, 2005;Farinha et al, 2019). An important reflection raised by RIS involves the best means of evaluating the perceptions of interested parties as regards the appropriateness of the strategies for intelligent specialization defined with the regional framework proposed by Lopes, Ferreira, Farinha, and Raposo (2018).…”

The regional innovation systems (RIS) concept has become popular among academics, political decision-makers and regional stakeholders of innovation. Understanding the competitive dynamics of RIS and their impact on regional competitiveness today has thus become a priority. This paper provides researchers, academics, political decision-makers and other interested parties with a map of the different approaches to RIS, aiding in the definition of new territorial innovation policies. With a co-citation resource approach, an extensive search of the Web of Science database was carried out and it encountered four clusters in the literature on RIS: regional knowledge systems; regional institutional systems; regional research and development systems; and regional network systems. This correspondingly sets out new theoretical perspectives based on bibliometric analysis techniques and new paths for scientific reflection and research.

Entrepreneurial intention among women: A case study in the Portuguese academy

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

A growing interest in academic entrepreneurship has characterized the past few years. Young university students are increasingly encouraged to create their companies to boost their region's social and economic development. In this regard, women entrepreneurs have been playing a decisive role. They have been increasing in number, becoming of key importance due to their status and significance for the gender impact on entrepreneurship. This research evaluates women's entrepreneurial intention in the Portuguese academy, denoting which entrepreneurial intent is influenced by environmental factors such as closer valuation and social valuation and motivational factors such as attitude toward the behavior, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control. For this purpose, a quantitative methodology was used. A questionnaire was applied to 731 female students of higher education in Portugal. The analysis of the results allowed us to perceive which variables under study influenced the entrepreneurial intention. The findings will reinforce the literature, thus, contributing to strengthening the theoretical framework on entrepreneurial intentions in women and launching clues for action within public decision‐makers, universities, and civil society, allowing to adopt practices that will increase entrepreneurship in women. To our knowledge, this research is one of the few studies on female entrepreneurial intention in academia in a peripheral region of Europe such as Portugal.
