Abstract

Entrepreneurial research has largely raised the question of the resources and profile characteristics of the entrepreneur required throughout the entrepreneurial process: recognition of an entrepreneurial opportunity, creation, and development. Entrepreneurs often find it challenging to obtain the resources they need as soon as they are overwhelmed by the desire to recognize an opportunity to do business independently. On the one hand, our problem emanates from the scarcity of work on the specificities of entrepreneurs in Tunisia, in this case, those of private companies. On the other hand, any influences that their characteristics might have on their competence in identifying opportunity. Therefore, it would be a question of trying to identify the profile of the entrepreneur in Tunisian companies and appreciate the possible impacts that it could have on the characteristics theoretically considered within the upstream entrepreneurial process. In this perspective, we propose to focus our thinking, on the one hand, on the approach supported by entrepreneurs to recognize an entrepreneurial opportunity and, on the other hand, its impact on the recognition of entrepreneurial opportunity mobilized in this approach. This study explored the process of recognizing the opportunities of 80 Tunisian entrepreneurs, who were all recognized as having business opportunities and different characteristics.

Abstract

In Wuhan, China, and by the end of 2019 until the first half of 2020, the world experienced the proliferation and destruction of the new coronavirus discovery. Many infections and deaths caused by the virus, the collapse of the health care system, and the economic impact have few modern analogs. Many countries present a reaction to the pandemic; however, it arises when a heated debate ensues over which political system’s democracy versus authoritarianism is best suited to reply to the pandemic. As global efforts to contain the virus continue, this article aims to examine how the COVID-19 crisis has had many effects on the cultural lifestyle and social entrepreneurship of every country in the world. This current lack of integration between crisis management, entrepreneurship, and COVID-19 literature are the main points to be discussed. The summary of this analysis is consistently clear in the current literature through the connection of key notions within emergency management and entrepreneurship. Due to COVID-19, a dramatic effect has reached the global society. In fact, and academically speaking, this survey is among the first to study these consequences at different levels, including the cultural, social, and lifestyle entrepreneurship context. As a result, micro, macro, and meso environmental impacts deriving from the COVID-19 crisis can be better understood in the entrepreneurship literature area. At present, the impact of COVID-19 on entrepreneurship has not been studied. That is why this article tries to provide a broader and more comprehensive framework.

Abstract

In Tunisia, the job that thousands of university graduates aim to do is their first choice, not to initiate their own business. This research aims to examine the entrepreneurial mentality of Sfax University students and their objectives of starting a new business by studying the disadvantages preventing them from becoming independent. First, collecting key data through self-prepared questionnaires is done for the evaluation of the explanatory factor’s role, such as attitudes, senses of control, social norms, and students’ perceptions of entrepreneurship, and how each dimension affects entrepreneurs’ intentions. Then, the use of a multiple regression model based on Ajzen’s (1991) Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) is effective to analyze the data. After receiving entrepreneurship training at the University of Sfax, this theoretical framework was verified by 320 students from different disciplines. The results show that personal attitudes and perceived behavioral control are the explanation of entrepreneurial intentions.

Abstract

This article discusses the role of the ambitious entrepreneur in stimulating creativity and innovation in organizations. Its objective is to build a heuristic model to question the link between the characteristics of the ambitious entrepreneur and creativity. To do this we combine a quantitative study with a qualitative study. An exploratory study of the case of the Tunisian company SOPAL, allowed us to understand the process, which relates the link between the ambition of the entrepreneur and the stimulation of creativity within the organization. We then proceeded with a quantitative study to test our hypotheses on a sample of Tunisian entrepreneurs. The results confirm the impact of an ambitious entrepreneurial profile on stimulating the creativity embodied in technological innovations.
