    Student perception of their knowledge of Social Entrepreneurship: gender-gap and disciplinary analysis of an Ashoka Changemaker Campus in Latin America
    (Emerald, 2021-06-10) Vázquez Parra, José Carlos; Amézquita Zamora, Juan; Ramírez Montoya, María Soledad; Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey
    Design/methodology/approach: We evaluated the perception of knowledge about social entrepreneurship of a group of students from a university certified as Ashoka Changemaker Campus, to check if there are differences by gender and disciplinary area. The population was 140 students, to whom a validated instrument was applied. Purpose: The objective of the study was to analyze the perception of knowledge and experience development in social entrepreneurship in students of a university certified by Ashoka as a Changemaker campus, to identify data that argue for equitable training among all students regardless of gender and discipline studied. Findings: The results shed light on the few differences among students in the Business, Engineering, and Health Sciences disciplines compared to those enrolled in the Humanities and Social Sciences concerning knowledge and experience in social entrepreneurship. The findings also indicate gender equality in the perception of knowledge and experience of innovation and social entrepreneurship. Research limitations/implications: The sample size in the different disciplinary areas is a limitation of this research. However, the findings are valuable in terms of gender and the study being conducted in the first university certified as a Changemaker Campus in Latin America. Journal of Applied Research in Higher EducationPractical implications: Underlying the statistics and the hypotheses are the importance of improving students' experience and expanding their equitable opportunities to learn about and implement innovative proposals for social entrepreneurship projects. Social implications: Training in equality and inclusion contributes to an equitable and socially just society, especially when this training aims to bring new possibilities to society. This study links with those that have been conducted in other institutions, where conscious efforts have been made to reduce the gender gap or differences by disciplinary area when undertaking social entrepreneurship projects that connect sectors for social benefit. This research also argues for the need to identify the impact of other cultural elements, in addition to the knowledge provided by universities, that reduce the gap among their students. Originality/value: This study is original because of its hypotheses about university students' social entrepreneurship projects, being conducted in a special environment (Ashoka Changemaker campus) in Latin America. The data were analysed under hypothesis testing, contrasting the empirical evidence with the theoretical assumptions.

    Being an Entrepreneur Post-COVID-19- Resilience in Times of Crisis: a Systematic Literature Review
    (Emerald, 2020-09) Portuguez Castro, May; Gómez Zermeño, Marcela Georgina; Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey
    Purpose- The COVID-19 pandemic has had an uncertain impact on the global economy, especially for entrepreneurs and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that have suffered significant consequences. However, resilience has emerged as an entrepreneurial skill that allows companies to adapt and grow stronger in the face of challenges. Therefore, we conducted a literature review to identify the factors that comprise resilience to strengthen training programs for necessary entrepreneurial skills. We hope this study leads to future empirical studies that will provide more understanding and equip professionals with the skills to adapt to crises. Design/methodology/approach- A systematic literature review was performed, analyzing studies related to entrepreneurship, resilience, and crises. Thirty empirical studies were analyzed to determine the facts of the crises, the methodologies used, and the actions taken to address them. Findings- The review identified resilience factors such as attitudes adopted towards the crisis, the characteristics of the business and the entrepreneur, the relationships with institutions, human and social capital, and strategic management. These factors can be considered in training programs for resilient entrepreneurs and by the different actors in the entrepreneurial ecosystem, including the universities and public policymakers, who support them. Originality- This study provides a literature review that focuses on identifying the resilience factors of entrepreneurs who confronted past crises to know how to apply these in actions to overcome the current situation and contribute to post-COVID-19 entrepreneurship. We hope that the findings motivate others to conduct further empirical studies on entrepreneurship and resilience in times of crisis, especially in developing countries and emerging economies.
