Using natural language processing (NLP) techniques to analyse textual content from 661 enterprises' websites, we found a positive relationship between the communication of a narrow set of SDGs and enterprises' economic performance. The extent of this effect is similar between social and traditional commercial enterprises.

This case aligns with a broader need to generate more impactful learning outcomes that accurately reflect the nature of the entrepreneurship phenomenon. Notwithstanding, how a theory-praxis nexus results in first-person transformation remains underdeveloped. Accordingly, this paper advances <em>interiority</em> as an operationalizing mechanism for developing entrepreneurship as first-person transformation. Thus, we contribute to shifting the focus of learning from what we know, to how we know in a process of intellectual self-awareness. We then offer a conceptual framework that connects three realms of knowing: practical, relational, and theoretical, with interiority as the fulcrum. We discuss how this approach contributes to impactful entrepreneurial learning, seen through the emergence of entrepreneurial mindsets in reflective student practice.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":38078,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Business Venturing Insights","volume":"21 ","pages":"Article e00471"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2352673424000234/pdfft?md5=0e7c37dda31c2ab14204c70213bf3cae&pid=1-s2.0-S2352673424000234-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140822894","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Additionally, the study examines whether Polish immigrants exposed to reform and arriving in the US after 1960 exhibit increased self-employment propensity, but finds no significant differences.

In doing so, this study examines the effect of university-level characteristics on the number of USO establishments and USO performance; it also evaluates measurement validities that can reflect constructs. The systematic review and thematic coding reveal four groups of 14 constructs from the measures identified in prior studies: university general characteristics, university research characteristics, university entrepreneurial characteristics, and technology transfer office characteristics. Our meta-analyses indicate that the relationships between the constructs and USO outcomes are generally significant, thereby providing evidence of the convergent and nomological validities of the measures. Research design has a limited impact on the relationships, but country moderates several relationships between university characteristics and USO outcomes. Following our meta-analytic review, we explain the contribution to university entrepreneurship ecosystem research and suggest a theoretically triangulated model for future studies.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":38078,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Business Venturing Insights","volume":"21 ","pages":"Article e00463"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140605822","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}
