ever, it remains unclear to which extent the perception of SE leaders on the personal level mirrors this hybridity as previous studies are limited in scope and methodology. Our work examines perceived personality traits, work-related values, leadership styles and leader attributes of SE leaders compared to FPE and NPO leaders. Using a vignette-based, comprehensive experimental design with a sample of business students (N = 170), we find that whereas notable differences in personality and leadership comparing SE and FPE leaders exist, SE and NPO leaders were perceived as not different. Based on our findings, theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

The importance of innovation, in both private and public entrepreneurial fields, is the basis of all companies’ strategic choices. This study examines entrepreneurship and innovation, as well as their dynamic interface in value creation, in the public sector. It explores entrepreneurial determinants for public-sector innovation, as collected from managers and employees involved in the water supply and sewage industries in Ukraine. The data, related to a sample of firms, were obtained from a twofold self-administered survey. Adopting an ordered logistic regression model to analyse the data obtained from a survey, it is found that the entrepreneurial determinants of self-awareness, knowledge-enabling and entrepreneurial orientation positively correlate with fostering innovation process. The findings reveal that entrepreneurial leadership and intrapreneurial self-efficacy are mediating determinants. Finally, the results demonstrate that intrapreneurial self-efficacy has more potential than entrepreneurial leadership to stimulate innovation at the individual level, which has both theoretical and practical implications.

This study aimed to understand whether serious games in entrepreneurship education can improve the antecedents and entrepreneurial intention. Serious games are defined as tools designed to educate or train through entertainment, and providing environments that facilitate deeper learning. A pre-test, post-test quasi-experimental design was used by considering 963 undergraduate students. This study adopted analysis techniques such as one-way repeated measures analysis of variance, two-sample t-test and structural equation modelling to test the hypotheses. The findings show that students in the treatment group increased their attitudes, perceived control, and overall entrepreneurial intention compared to the control group. Equally important is highlighting the positive relationship between learner satisfaction using serious games and the antecedents of entrepreneurial intention in the treatment group. These findings provide insights into the discussions that remain open about the effects of entrepreneurship education on the intention by revealing the impact of specific benefits for students derived from serious games in the course. The study also has broader implications for the theory and practice of teaching entrepreneurship.

When properly understood in the context of entrepreneurship, entanglement explains the complex ingredients in the tangled relations required for entrepreneurial success. However, in examining entrepreneurial success, many scholars overlook a critical consideration—are the right resources (people and materials) in the right place at the right time? How do entanglement and convergence come about? This occurs when a microsystem is entangled with many fine-grained structures with different degrees of freedom, converging to generate emergence. These fine-grained structures are the heterogeneous agents with correlated histories (co-founders, financiers, suppliers, competitors, customers, employees, etc.) that are entangled with the entrepreneurs. This article explains the complex causes in the emergent order arising from several entangled dynamics among the heterogeneous agents and resources. The challenge is understanding what complex ingredie
