DOI: 10.4172/2169-026X.1000223

In this essay I discuss that because of the attribute errors linked to entrepreneurial opportunity, action contributes more insights on creating a venture than a strong idea or opportunity per se. Action can provide idiosyncratic market knowledge as a basis for sound judgment (in opposed to lousy judgment) and the subsequent decisions on whether to invest on an opportunity or not, mainly for the entrepreneurs with limited resources and experience.

High education schools can contribute to detect and support students with potential to become young entrepreneurs and they also can involve and inspire other students.
In the sequence of a branch of research into student entrepreneurship that has been developed in recent years, the aim of this study is two-fold: firstly, to estimate the entrepreneurial propensity of students at a Portuguese polytechnic school and, secondly, to evaluate the importance of academic, personal and contextual factors that may be explanatory factors to this propensity. The present study is based on a sample of 277 students who were, at the time of the research (2013), enrolled in a Master’s degree or in a Bachelor´s degree.
The results obtained suggest, at one hand, that student from management areas and students from more advanced curricular years present higher propensity to entrepreneurship but also, on the other hand, that knowing entrepreneurs examples and having previous management experiences potentiate such propensity, thus confirming the usefulness of higher connections between academia and firms.

“Are We Having Fun Yet?” What Factors Influence Managers to Have Fun at Work?

Scardillo A

DOI: 10.4172/2169-026X.1000230

Contrary to the popular saying, managers are NOT having fun at work. In fact, nearly 70% of all employees are dissatisfied with their jobs. The reasons are many, and have been written about in numerous articles, but the underlying reason is that they are not having any fun!

We believe that a fun and engaging workplace impacts employee engagement, morale, productivity and safety. We also believe that creating a fun atmosphere at work is accomplished only when management is having fun. The thinking is that if management is having fun at work, then employees will have more fun in a give-and-take feedback loop. We discovered six important factors that influenced managers to have fun at work. Among them were Mentoring, New Challenges, Empowerment, Peer/Co-Worker Relationships, Meaningful Work and Fun Activities (in order of importance). This qualitative study examines these factors and the significance of their influence on managers to have fun at work.

Keller GF

DOI: 10.4172/2169-026X.1000232

Over the past two decades, the number of institutions offering Masters of Business degrees has expanded to meet market demand. The sheer expansion has created what it would describe as a red ocean. As more small colleges/ schools of business enter the Masters Business degree marketplace, the inevitable decisions of how to attract customers and make a profit must be made; thus, the unconscious plunge into the Masters Business degree red ocean (look alike curricula and price sensitive tuition) is made. Must small colleges/schools of business that compete in a red ocean accept the predictable mediocre return on their investment/energy? This paper offers alternative Masters in business models for small colleges/schools of business. Alternate specialized business accreditation pathways, eight foundation principles and seven distinctive curricula are proposed to renew and create a fresh competitive advantage for small business college/schools. The end state is freedom from the Masters Business degrees red ocean.
