The role of universities in supporting entrepreneurial intentions of students toward sustainable entrepreneurship

Abstract

Entrepreneurship education should develop entrepreneurial people and aspiration by equipping individuals with the appropriate knowledge and skills to initiate and sustain enterprises. The concept of entrepreneurial intention becomes an interesting question when analysing the efficiency of university education in EU countries. The main aim of this paper is to find out whether universities support entrepreneurial intentions toward sustainability by providing necessary knowledge and skills. The conclusions are based on the opinions of students collected by the surveys conducted at Polish, Czech, Hungarian and Slovak universities in 2018/2019. The general conclusion is that in all studied countries the support is expected by students, but it seems to be insufficient in the area of knowledge provided by the university.* This research was supported by the project, which has received funding from the Ministry of Education of the Slovak Republic and of Slovak Academy of Sciences with title "Assessment changes in the qualitative structure of international economic relations under the influence of Industry 4.0 with implications for the EU and Slovak economic policies". Project registration number Reg. No. VEGA 1/0462/20.

The Impact of the Industry 4.0 Concept on Slovak Business Sustainability within the Issue of the Pandemic Outbreak

“…Many companies have lost their markets and become uncompetitive due to the measures taken in Germany, where a great deal of Slovak export is heading [51]. On the contrary, other companies have optimized their processes and have embarked significantly on the optimization of the human workforce, such that in case of a human factor failure, they are as prepared as possible for similar situations that are likely to recur [52,53]. When making these forecasts, we must not forget the fact that smart industry implementation is constantly creating new jobs that have never existed before.…”
