It seeks to contribute insights to the development of institutional support programmes, and thus bridge the gap between policy and practice as well as creating value, employment and community involvement. There is no clear definition of what constitutes rural enterprise in the UK, a rural enterprise is simply a business registered at an address in an area defined as rural by the Department of Rural Affairs. A useful classification of rural entrepreneurship distinguishes “rural entrepreneurship” (RE) and “entrepreneurship in the rural” (EIR). The latter uses the rural context simply as a location. The former is embedded in the rural context. An interpretivist approach was adopted using a qualitative research design. One-off in-depth interviews were conducted with a sample of 24 women who operate in some of the most common areas for women entrepreneurs and 6 of their mentors. Quota sampling was combined with a purposive approach to select those who had had experience of mentoring. Upbringing was found to be a major influence on whether women engaged in entrepreneurship. Most stated that there had been no suggestion that this was a possibility from their schooling. With regards to mentoring, most expressed the view that it was “vital”. Most were very pragmatic about seeking out practical advice. The most significant form of mentoring was found to be peer mentoring, from women’s business networks, professional associations and online networks. Bearing in mind the small sample size, the findings indicate a more targeted approach to mentoring programmes should be taken. Peer mentoring has not been explored in depth. More could be done to support established businesses rather than a focus on start ups. In addition, the curriculum could be broadened to include recognition of entrepreneurship as a valid career path.","PeriodicalId":262712,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the European Conference on Innovation and Entrepreneurship 2021","volume":"96 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127241177","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study used a quantitative methodology trough a survey by questionnaire based on a sample of 978 people organized by age groups. We used, an exploratory factor analysis with principal components and varimax rotation, a one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) by Tamhane Test and a linear regression model. An exploratory factor analysis is presented, to assess the dimensions of the entrepreneurial alertness from which two factors were obtained: the competence of processing information and establish connections to assure a profitable business (F1) and the capability of searching information and acknowledging opportunities (F2). Then, were applied one-way ANOVA and a linear regression model to compare different generations in relation with EA, and its relation to create a new business. The results demonstrate that generation Z has less propensity than generation Y in respect to F2. Besides F1 has the same importance for all generations. We found either, that the X generation has lower propension to start a new business. Testing the effects of different dimensions of EA, through a linear regression, with the propensity to develop a new business, we confirm that only F1 is significative while F2 is partial rejected. This research contributes to the field by demonstrating how different generations assign distinct relevance to entrepreneurial alertness dimensions and its importance to promote a new activity. © 2021, Academic Conferences and Publishing International Limited.

The transition to digital teaching has been both abrupt and challenging for many lecturers and students. While communication and interaction between lecturer and student or among students are possible digitally, there is a difference between sitting physically next to your fellow students versus staring into a “black screen”. This paper investigates experiences of online learning among students in higher education during lockdown. We conducted an online survey (n=200) among students in Norway studying for a bachelor’s degree in information technology (IT). We emphasize students’ experience of the digital learning environment through questions on attendance and participation in live lectures, use of recorded videos, use of chat and camera and their motivation for digital learning. The findings show that students to a large or very large extent (85%) follow live lectures, at the same time they also prefer that there are video recordings of the lectures. Furthermore, we see that the students are highly or very highly (65%) motivated for digital live lectures. Concerning student engagement, such as asking questions to the lecturer and answering questions from the lecturer in the Zoom‐chat, we see that the answers vary greatly. They are distributed almost equally on the whole scale from a very small degree to a very high degree. Among our relevant contributions, we have learned that recording lectures is overwhelmingly considered positive among students and should be practiced when possible. Students rarely if ever turn on their cameras during lectures and do not expect others to show their faces. In general, among our respondents Zoom online lectures seem to work well, despite limitations to interaction and participation. © the authors, 2021.

I want to use the concept of the disruptive innovation to understand: How strongly the customers behaviour has been changing in the sector of food and beverage because of Covid 19 in term of functional, emotional and social jobs to be done Whether the disruptive strategy could be a useful business map for the Small Medium Enterprises to re-adapt their profit formula, resources and processes How the local authorities could help the SMEs to leverage the production at a local dimension This paper uses a method based on a case history of an Italian family business, which has been operating for 50 years at a local dimension in the sector of food and beverage. The pandemic has significantly changed the customers’ habits and their needs and this put the lights on the big amount of jobs to be done by the companies to meet these incoming customers’ requirements. Indeed, in the sector of food and beverage many restaurants were forced to close because of the decision making taken by the local authorities. Would Livi srl be able to cope with this economic downturn? Which strategy should the entrepreneur set up to go through this negative financial performance? I want to answer to these questions by using the lens of theory of the Disruptive Strategy taught by Prof. Clayton at Harvard Business School. This paper puts the lights on the business’ ability to adapt its deliberate strategy to the new challenges of the market;indeed, a strong actual strategy is a good mix of a deliberate strategy with an emergent strategy. Finally, the relationship between local authorities (policy) and companies is investigated in a critical way, by which that has studied in term of partnership through the cost benefit analysis rather than considering the policy a social tool able to meet the customers’ needs with the business supply. © 2021, Academic Conferences and Publishing International Limited.
