Role of Entrepreneurship Education in Bridging Skill Gaps in Corporate Entrepreneurship: A Systematic Review

Tue, 20 May 2025 00:00:00 +0000

This literature review re-examines how entrepreneurship education (EE) can be fitted to corporate entrepreneurship (CE) and industry needs. A PRISMA-driven systematic review of 43 peer-reviewed papers was conducted to examine the link between EE and CE and how higher education institutions (HEIs) can effectively prepare graduates for entrepreneurship and intrapreneurship careers. The findings reveal that EE has a supportive and enabling relationship with CE. At the same time, the entrepreneurial background of senior executives is important for overall business intent and performance in a supportive learning environment. The study identifies five key approaches to enhance EE programs: (1) creating an industry-focused supportive curriculum, (2) integrating experiential learning, (3) encouraging industry collaboration, (4) deploying technical tools (5) emphasising EE trainers’ skill competencies development. By implementing these strategies, EE programs can equip graduates with the entrepreneurial mindset and skillset needed to improve their employability and drive innovation in corporate settings, ultimately enhancing business adaptability and competitiveness. The study contributes to the entrepreneurship education field by offering a path for adapting EE to prepare entrepreneurial graduates to drive business growth and personal entrepreneurship careers. The study's novelty lies in stressing the underexplored relationship between EE and CE, focusing on how EE can foster intrapreneurship and traditional entrepreneurship. The focus on HEIs to better align EE with the practical needs of corporations is a valuable contribution, especially in an era where businesses require innovative and ready-made corporate graduates due to the availability of limited resources.

Li Yongyan, Tajul Shuhaizam Said — Mon, 26 May 2025 00:00:00 +0000

This study explores the current practices, challenges, and strategic improvements of art education in Shandong Museum through semi-structured interviews with primary school art teachers and museum educators. Using NVivo-based thematic coding, the findings reveal a dominant reliance on traditional lecture-based methods, leading to limited interaction and student engagement. Educators reported that these methods often fail to capture students’ interest or support deeper learning. In contrast, three effective strategies—gamification, multimedia interaction, and hands-on practice—emerged as key to enhancing participation, motivation, and learning outcomes. These strategies were supported by practical examples from both teachers and museum staff, reflecting a shared recognition of the need for more engaging, student-centered teaching approaches. The study concludes that these findings provide practical foundations for developing a learner-centered Fun Learning Model in museum art education, with implications for program design, instructional methods, and cross-institutional collaboration.

In today’s dynamic digital marketplace, e-commerce companies require employees who can rapidly adapt to change. This paper examines the relationship between psychological capital (PsyCap) and adaptive performance in the e-commerce sector. Drawing on recent empirical studies and theory, this paper proposes a clear conceptual framework in which PsyCap (independent variable) positively influences employees’ adaptive performance (dependent variable) through enhanced Self-efficacy, optimism, hope, resilience. The evidence indicates that high PsyCap employees handle stress better, learn new skills faster, and embrace workplace changes more readily, leading to superior adaptive performance. also discuss how adaptive performance contributes to organizational agility, innovation, and competitiveness in the fast-paced e-commerce industry. The review synthesizes findings from multiple contexts – hospitality, healthcare, IT, and service sectors – to extract relevant insights for e-commerce. Practical implications are outlined for human resource management, including interventions to develop PsyCap (e.g. training in resilience and optimism) and organizational strategies to foster an adaptive workforce. In conclusion, the study underscores PsyCap as a key lever for boosting adaptive performance, offering e-commerce companies a pathway to greater employee adaptability and sustained competitive advantage.
