Global studies have found tendencies: traditional culture promotes entrepreneurs' networking in the private sphere, impeding innovation, whereas secular-rational culture facilitates networking in the public sphere, benefiting innovation. This embeddedness is here scrutinised in contrasting societies, China and Denmark. Global Entrepreneurship Monitor has surveyed entrepreneurs in China, Denmark and elsewhere. Analyses reconfirm the global tendencies and show that, China in contrast to Denmark, public sphere networking is sparser, but private sphere networking is denser. Innovation is negatively affected by private sphere networking and positively affected by public sphere networking, but innovation is less promoted by public sphere networking in China than in Denmark.

“…Most reviewed studies focus on the establishment and success of small businesses and new ventures as key desired or expected outcomes of EET, which positions EET as a vehicle to advance SDG 8. Many of those studies focus on the enhancement of entrepreneurial intention through EET, exemplified by cases in sustainable/stable economies (e.g., the USA [84], Spain [85] and the Netherlands [60]), as well as warning/alert economies (e.g., Turkey [86], Egypt [87], Iran [87] and Pakistan [61]). Others focus directly on enhancing entrepreneurial behavior such as increasing startup rate and small business success (e.g., [57,88]), while a few link EET to economic growth at a macro level (e.g., [89]).…”

Entrepreneurship has the potential to reduce poverty, stimulate economic growth and boost innovation, in addition to enhancing social and environmental sustainability. In accordance with the human capital theory and previous empirical studies, it is assumed that entrepreneurship education and training (EET) directly correlates with positive entrepreneurial outcomes and therefore sustainable development. Although several scholars have attempted to review and analyze EET literature over the past decade, none of these reviews directly links EET with sustainable development or focuses on the role and status of EET (research) in less-stable areas of the world. This systematic review thus attempts to analyze recent literature to identify the extent to which EET research addresses Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The review identifies several gaps in research and practice that potentially hinder EET from adequately advancing sustainable development, including a dearth of research on fragile states and demographic diversity, limited EET access to non-university students and a general lack of focus on educational technology, progressive education approaches, and innovation in fragile countries compared to stable ones. The review also identifies challenges pertaining to EET resource constraints in fragile contexts. The paper concludes by offering insights on how educational technology could mitigate EET challenges in fragile environments to ultimately ease some barriers towards SDG advancement and provides recommendations for future research directions.

“…En relación con diferencia en resultados de empresarios capacitados por su edad, Ramírez-Pérez et al (2015) muestran que emprendedores mayores exhiben mayores habilidades de comunicación y organización, Martin et al (2013) evidencian que la educación en emprendimiento es más efectiva en el desarrollo de actitudes en emprendedores jóvenes, y Ashourizadeh et al (2014) plantean que existen menores resultados en entrenamiento de emprendedores de generaciones mayores.…”

“…En al ámbito de estudio sobre incidencia de nivel de educación formal en emprendimiento, se ha reconocido que favorece la intención de emprender (Bae et al 2014), que existe vínculo de educación terciaria y emprendimiento de población en EEUU (Millan et al, 2014), también que un mayor nivel educacional incrementa las capacidades técnicas y habilidades del emprendedor (Gomezelj y Antončič, 2008), y que la educación formal previa, favorece los resultados del entrenamiento de emprendedores (Ashourizadeh et al, 2014). Respecto del tamaño de empresa, Kotey y Folker (2007) muestran que, en contexto de Pymes, las empresas más pequeñas, presenta menor propensión a la capacitación formal y que emprendimientos de menor tamaño se orientan hacia el aprendizaje informal.…”

Adicionalmente, estudiar la incidencia de edad, género, nivel educacional del emprendedor, número de socios de la organización y fuente de financiamiento de la capacitación, en adopción de Internet y e-Commerce, en grupo de micro-emprendedores capacitados. El análisis se efectúa a través de test de hipótesis y regresiones logísticas. Los resultados muestran relación entre capacitación y adopción de Internet y actividades e-Commerce seleccionadas, exceptuando la venta de productos. También indican que emprendedores con menor edad, género femenino, y mayor nivel educacional, adoptan Internet en sus empresas y efectúan algunas actividades e-Commerce en mayor medida. Por último, se evidencia que en microempresas con mayor cantidad de socios y que financian capacitación con recursos propios, se utiliza en mayor proporción Internet y algunas actividades eCommerce seleccionadas.Palabras claves: microemprendimiento; internet; e-commerce; capacitation; características demográficas. Relationship of Training with Internet Adoption and ECommerce: Differences in Microentrepreneurs from Chile AbstractThe research seeks to relate training in micro-entrepreneurs in Chile with Internet and e-Commerce adoption in their organization. Additionally, it studies the incidence of age, gender, educational level of the entrepreneur, number of partners of the organization and source of funding for training, in Internet adoption and e-Commerce in a group of micro-entrepreneurs trained. The analysis is performed through hypothesis test and logistic regressions. Results show the relationship between training and Internet adoption and selected e-Commerce activities, except for the sale of products. They also indicate that younger entrepreneurs, of female gender, and higher educational level, adopt the Internet in their companies and carry out some e-Commerce activities to a greater extent. Finally, it is shown that in microenterprises with more partners and that finance training with their own resources, Internet and some selected e-Commerce activities, are used in greater proportion.
