Mature female entrepreneurs represent a non-traditional model of self-employed workers in both ways: in terms of gender and age. The transition into self-employment for women aged 45 years and older represents a topic of aging research that still tends to be overlooked. Previous studies found ambivalent results for the issue regarding motives and entrepreneurial pathways between former employmen or unemployment–and starting one's own business and the ways in which these entrepreneurial activities are shaped by social differences (such as gender) and biographically accumulated resources and restrictions. This article studies biographical-related factors and motivations that determine what is variously referred to as mature entrepreneurship for men and women aged 45 and above. Using data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP), the descriptive analysis explains the main gender differences among people within the target age group who have taken the step into self-employment. The multivariate analysis interrogates the main determinants that govern any increase in the probability of becoming self-employed after the age of 45 and seeks to identify the main differences between women and men in relation to such determinants. The results show substantial gender-based occupational segregation in entrepreneurship patterns in this age group, with men working longer hours on average than women and enjoying higher average earnings. However, the multivariate analysis shows that the main drivers for mature entrepreneurship are similar for both men and women and that necessity represents an important factor for everyone for starting a business.

In 2022, six Latin American countries had over 84 percent of their female entrepreneurs starting a business because jobs and opportunities are scarce. Overall, in the region, women had a higher necessity-driven entrepreneurship rate than men. In Guatemala, the necessity-driven entrepreneurship rate reached nearly 92 percent for women, and 86.5 percent for men.

ABSTRACT Along with entrepreneurship´s continuing emergence among the management sciences, there is an ongoing debate about what the field is - or should be. In this regard, to have a better understanding of the development of this research field, it is useful to understand the scientific structure. This study uses bibliometric techniques and cluster analyses to present an empirically grounded picture of the entrepreneurship research. This research analyzes the 1,112 full-length papers published in the FER Proceedings between 1981 and 2009, and the 378 articles published in the Journal of Business Venturing between 2000 and 2010. Both forums are considered representative in the exchange of entrepreneurial thought. The results indicate that entrepreneurship research published in these forums is characterized by varied themes that are not necessarily connected. Rather, they reflect the disciplinary training and lens of their authors; and considerable dynamism and change in key research themes over time. Hopefully, the results presented here provide abundant opportunities for identifying insightful, influential, and creative research topics in the entrepreneurship field.

Abstract Due to the necessity for innovation and value creation for organizations, entrepreneurship education has become part of contemporary educational institutions. It is necessary to develop tools that provide a favorable learning environment. The Business Plan is an useful tool in teaching entrepreneurship, contributing to the development of entrepreneurial teachers and students from different areas. This paper aims to analyze the Circular Business Plan as an active methodology for teaching entrepreneurship during the workshop Building a Business Plan. The version of Circular Business Plan presented in this work was demonstrated through applied research, using qualitative method with exploratory goal during field of study. We analyzed 10 workshops Building a Business Plan in the same educational institution, with 160 participants develop 48 business ideas developed by groups with 3 people on average. Learning self-assessment answered by the participants, as well as the evaluation of teachers on student responses at Circular Business Plan built during the workshops Building a Business Plan, demonstrated that the active methodology contributes to the entrepreneurial development, from skills, different knowledge, attitudes and values. Future research will improve this active methodology and the teaching of entrepreneurship, as well as contribute to the development of the entrepreneurial profile.

This dataset delves into the motivations and behaviours of elderly entrepreneurs in Cyprus - individuals who continue to engage in entrepreneurial activities past retirement age. Cypriot entrepreneurs often remain active post-retirement for varied reasons.

The dataset includes quantitative data from a survey of 122 elderly entrepreneurs collected in Cyprus (areas of Nicosia and Limassol), between the second half of 2018 and the first half of 2019. The dataset includes demographic characteristics and the measure of the following constructs: Self-efficacy, Passion Scale, Loneliness, Work-life Balance, Satisfaction with life, Personality, and Entrepreneurial intention.

The purpose of this paper consisted of comprehending the particularities of religious entrepreneurship concerning businesses that emerge in a religious context and sell religious products. Based on a theoretical framework that articulates both entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial process definitions, and that establishes relationships between entrepreneurship and religion, 22 businesses that sell products from various religious denominations located in the three largest cities of the Triângulo Mineiro region were studied through qualitative research. The results show the manifestation of a particular type of entrepreneurship, associated with the following categories: the religious entrepreneur, involving the analysis of ideas and individual motivations for business creation; religion as business opportunity, involving the analysis of contextual, religious and business aspects that influence religious entrepreneurship; and the results of those entrepreneurial actions, involving concrete and symbolic effects of religious entrepreneurship.

Ethical Reference Number : 2021FEBEREC-STD-120 This is primary quantitative data gathered through surveys issued to respondents from medium-sized construction enterprises in the Western Cape. It measures respondents' perceptions of corporate entrepreneurship (CE) factors such as managerial support, job discretion, rewards, time/resource availability, and organizational boundaries.What was it used for?Evaluate the prevalence and impact of CE precursors in medium-sized construction enterprises.Test five hypotheses on how managerial practices and organizational architecture affect middle managers' entrepreneurial behavior.Identify gaps in CE adoption and their impact on innovation and competitive advantage.What came out of it?Managerial support exists, although it is only mild.Work discretion is partially permitted; middle managers have opportunity to use their skills but limited autonomy.Reward systems are inadequate, and there is insufficient reinforcement for entrepreneurial behavior.Time and resources are limited, which restricts entrepreneurial endeavors.Organizational boundaries encourage entrepreneurial behavior, however they may be improved with better communication.Overall, the study revealed that while CE is partially accepted, considerable changes in rewards, autonomy, and resource allocation are needed.Any further description?Practical Implications: Recommendations for improving CE antecedents included boosting managerial support, implementing better reward systems, expanding job autonomy, and resolving time/resource constraints.Industry Challenges: According to the study, systemic impediments to innovation include time limits, hefty project workloads, and insufficient reward mechanisms.Framework Proposal: A multidimensional framework was presented to close gaps and encourage a more entrepreneurial atmosphere in medium-sized construction firms.

In creative industries, entrepreneurs’ creativity is the source of entrepreneurial activities. Meanwhile, the key to the success of entrepreneurship lies in the strategic tendency of leaders, referred to the individual entrepreneurial orientation (IEO). This paper is aimed to explain the process from creativity to IEO and reveal the psychological process of entrepreneurs’ creativity. We proposed an integrated model of “individuality–creativity–IEO” by drawing on the theories of big five personality and entrepreneurship. Using a sample of 202 creative entrepreneurs from China, the research found that entrepreneurs’ creativity has a positive impact on IEO, and the individuality of neuroticism and extraversion exhibited a negative U-shaped relationship with creativity. Finally, implications for both theory and practice were presented.

This dataset titled "Systematic Literature Dataset on Internet of Things in Entrepreneurship (2020–2024)" presents a curated collection of 23 peer-reviewed articles sourced from Scopus, spanning the years 2020 to 2024. The dataset focuses on the intersection of the Internet of Things (IoT) and entrepreneurship, addressing key questions related to technological enablers and existing research gaps. The research was conducted through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) following the PRISMA protocol, ensuring methodological rigor and transparency. The key enablers of IoT in entrepreneurship were identified through thematic analysis using the Grounded Theory approach of Gioia, allowing the emergence of structured theoretical insights. The dataset provides not only the list and mapping of reviewed studies but also includes visual representations in the form of a PRISMA flowchart (PNG), a diagram of Key Enablers of IoT in Entrepreneurship (PNG), and a document outlining the SLR Mapping of Key Enablers (DOCX). The dataset was constructed to answer two core research questions: (RQ1) What are the key enablers of the Internet of Things in entrepreneurship studies? (RQ2) What are the perspectives and research gaps of the Internet of Things in entrepreneurship studies? This dataset is intended to support future research, academic inquiry, and policy development by offering structured insight into how IoT has influenced and enabled innovation within entrepreneurial contexts over the past five years.
