Navigating educator roles in these programmes is difficult for educators. Although essential for effective student learning, a more theoretical understanding of educator roles within experiential entrepreneurship education programmes is needed. Following an extended case methodology, this study is among the first to validate and question the Kolb Educator Role Profile (KERP) in experiential entrepreneurship education. We theoretically extend the KERP typology by contextualising KERP within the experiential entrepreneurship education literature and incorporating insights from 18 experiential entrepreneurship education programmes. We reveal three anomalies that extend beyond the traditionally defined educator roles within the KERP typology: (1) educators need to initiate concrete experiences, (2) educators need to manage students' access to practical entrepreneurship competence, and (3) educators need to make students do entrepreneurship. By introducing KERP and discussing these anomalies, we provide clarity for experiential entrepreneurship educators, helping them navigate, commit to, and prioritise distinct educator roles. This paper implies a deeper understanding of educator roles in experiential entrepreneurship programmes, clarifying how educators manage effective student learning.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47191,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Management Education","volume":"22 3","pages":"Article 101048"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1472811724001198/pdfft?md5=8b2be4d42aa70b1090c65271c4f187ee&pid=1-s2.0-S1472811724001198-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142161597","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite the considerable scholarship on learning and teaching generated by the COVID-19 pandemic, there remains a gap in understanding educator experiences in engaging and supporting students online. A qualitative case study research methodology was used to explore the experiences of educators from an Australian university business school during the pivot to remote teaching. Thematic analysis of semi-structured interviews with eight academic staff and two academic skills advisors highlighted challenges and opportunities related to the experiences of the educators, with a particular focus on the use of teaching resources, instructional strategies and assessment design during the COVID-19 pandemic. Educators found virtual consultations with students to be more effective and engaging compared to face-to-face, as students were less distracted during those consultations. The findings also highlighted the extent and variety of personalised support provided by educators to students but often at the cost of their own wellbeing. The study makes a valuable contribution to improving teaching and learning practises for a post-pandemic era and future educational practises in business education.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47191,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Management Education","volume":"22 3","pages":"Article 101051"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1472811724001228/pdfft?md5=bad34d90a18f49d78eca3a748fae6246&pid=1-s2.0-S1472811724001228-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142158215","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study adopted a sequential explanatory design using responses collected from international business school students in Asia over a 6-year period to examine this gap. Their perceptions were analyzed by matching them against Carroll's four-part definitional framework, the pyramid of CSR, to gauge the degree to which CSR theories are received by students. The results revealed that the majority of Asian students understand CSR differently from the mantra “CSR is about responsible business”. Depending on the context, Carroll's CSR pyramid is negatively perceived by students in Asia as many are aware that CSR is a culturally hypersensitive subject. The study proposes three recommendations for developing inclusive CSR education in multicultural settings: 1) emphasizing the “changing” role of business in the world and contemporary capitalism; 2) emphasizing the necessity of blending Western CSR theories with sustainable development issues in other nations; and 3) adding more details about cultural sensitivity in our use of CSR.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47191,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Management Education","volume":"22 3","pages":"Article 101046"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142128419","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results reveal a significant positive association between EED and business success among business owners. Similarly, Government support is found to play a role in fostering a culture of EED among these business owners. When examining mediating factors, Government support is shown to mediate the relationship between an individual's EED and their business success, whereas it does not significantly mediate the relationship between an individual's Entrepreneurial Self-Efficacy (ESE) and business success. Conversely, Entrepreneurial self-efficacy is identified as a potential mediator between EED and business success.

Based on the findings, it is concluded that government support significantly contributes to shaping the relationship between Entrepreneurship Education (EED) and business success within the SME sector in developing countries.
