“…Therefore, the result points to the vital function that entrepreneurial intention plays to increase further the relationship between entrepreneurial university inputs and social capital development. This confirms the findings of some previous related studies (Alcaniz et al, 2010;Austin & Nauta, 2016;Hockerts, 2015;Ozaralli & Rivenburgh, 2016;Razmi & Firoozabadi, 2016;Sharma, 2014;Van Auken et al, 2006). The negative outcome for the case of moderating effect of entrepreneurial intention on entrepreneurial universities processes with social capital development may be attributed to the fact that the processes in Malaysian universities are still evolving and not fully developed despite the large investment in the input factors by government and other stakeholders in Malaysia.…”

“…Regarding women's education and its impact on female entrepreneurship, the results show that the more educated women are more likely to participate in a business's equity, regardless of the developmental level of the country of origin. This finding is consistent with previous research; for example, in a 2012 study on the effect of education on female entrepreneurship in 29 member states of the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM), Razmi and Firoozabadi (2016) found that the average number of years of schooling has a significant positive correlation with female entrepreneurship. The findings on the age dependency ratio indicate a negative relationship in high-and middle-income countries.…”

The obstacles to, influences on, and impact of women's business ownership have been studied for the researchers, offering a substantial knowledge about the female entrepreneurs and their businesses. However, the vast majority of research about women entrepreneurs is still very western-oriented, and more studies are needed based on international data. This investigation examines the extent to which a set of social and firm factors influences women's decisions to start and grow their own businesses. It includes 59 countries and takes into account their stages of economic development. Findings show that the level of a country's development has an impact on how social and firm factors affect women's decisions to become engaged in business. Findings also show that women's education levels are independent of their country's level of economic development, in terms of its impact on their entrepreneurship. Recommendations are provided to promote women's entrepreneurship and support them to reach their potential.

“…Numerous studies have documented critical antecedents of entrepreneurial intention, including exposure to entrepreneurial role models (Austin & Nauta, 2016;Van Auken, Fry, & Stephens, 2006), disposure of intellectual capital (Alcaniz, Gomez-Bezares, & Roslender, 2010;Razmi & Firoozabadi, 2016), and previous entrepreneurial experience (Hockerts, 2015;Ozaralli & Rivenburgh, 2016). In addition, creative leveraging of social capital to achieve high performance has also been identified as a central strategy in the tourism business (Richards & Wilson, 2007;Zhao, Ritchie, & Echtner, 2011).…”

Regional knowledge coordination and the systematic promotion of rural culture using a combination of ecological advantages and environmental education are emerging topics in discussions on entrepreneurship. Considering that both creativity and social capital are critical factors for developing touristic activities, this study investigated their influences on the entrepreneurial intentions of tourism students in a metropolitan area, with the objective of contributing towards talent development in touristic entrepreneurship. A survey was administered at one university in Taiwan, and 213 valid subjects were analysed. The results first revealed that tourism students' creativity was divided into two dimensions, namely originality and usefulness; that social capital could be categorised as being either bridging or bonding; and that entrepreneurial intention was divided into conviction and preparation. The results indicated that tourism students with higher levels of creativity showed stronger entrepreneurial intentions. The usefulness of creativity had a stronger influence on entrepreneurial conviction than on entrepreneurial preparation. In addition, bridgingbased social capital had a significant influence on the entrepreneurial conviction of tourism students. The results of this study may serve as a reference for tourism administrators in the development of strategies for human resources management, particularly in personnel selection and training.
