Entrepreneurship education: A systematic literature review of curricula contents and teaching methods

Abstract: Entrepreneurship education (EE) is one of the fastest growing fields of education globally, yet the areas of “what” should be taught in these programmes and “how” to teach them have been mentioned by many researchers as ones that lack both consensus and devoted attention. The present paper aims to provide a detailed map of common and best practices in terms of curriculum content and methods of teaching entrepreneurship on the tertiary level, and to explore how they correlate with practices recommended by the entrepreneurial learning field of research, in order to contribute to extracting best practice.

In each stage, the literature on EE is screened and filtered to reduce the size and try to reach the more relevant and useful papers. This process end up with 129 articles divided between EE and entrepreneursh...

Using T-O-E theoretical framework to study the adoption of ERP solution

Abstract: This paper provides further insight into IS adoption by investigating how 12 factors within the technology-organization-environment (T-O-E) framework explain SMEs’ adoption of enterprise resource planning (ERP) software. Survey data were collected from executives of SMEs drawn from six fast service enterprises with strong operations in Port Harcourt, Nigeria. Purposive and snow ball sampling was adopted and the proposed framework was tested using the logistic regression; specifically, the likelihood ratios, Hosmer and Lemeshow’s goodness of fit, and Nagelkerke R2 were used. The hypothesized relationships were supported at either p < 0.01 or 0.05 with each factor differing in its statistical coefficient and some bearing negative values; suggesting that some factors do not pose much threat to adopters but to non-adopters. Thus, adoption of ERP by SMEs is well-explained by T-O-E framework though it is more driven by technological factors than by organizational and environmental factors. Implicit is t...
