Porém, o potencial de empreendimento precisa de um empreendedor em potencial. Este trabalho trata dos antecedentes de tal potencial e propõe um modelo baseado no modelo de Shapero (1982) do evento empreendedor. Portanto, tratamos deste modelo sob a luz de evidências embasadoras de duas perspectivas diferentes: empreendimento corporativo e desenvolvimento empresarial. (Inserido sob permissão da editora.)

Going beyond Penrosian growth theory, taking a microfoundational perspective demonstrates that these capabilities are crucial for attaining business growth and innovation. From a sample of 2,156,360 European SMEs, our findings highlight SMEs’ need for internal digital capabilities to respond rapidly to market changes. The current workplace requires individual capabilities able to face increasingly complex and interactive tasks. This set of capabilities also drives SMEs towards new perspectives and induces an increasing demand for individual digital capabilities. Employees are thus tasked to be digital literates in the field of information, communication and software. Penrose and others argued that business growth is leveraged primarily by interpersonal relationships based on trust, identification, and mutual obligation. However, today, individual digital capabilities have assumed an equally crucial role for growth and innovation in our increasingly digital competitive reality.

It centres on the influence of human capital, which constitutes the foundation of knowledge-based societies and bears on how entrepreneurs organise and manage new technology and knowledge-based ventures. It extends existing theory on human capital by suggesting that the choice of innovative, strategic, organisational and leadership practices are influenced by one important type of human capital: namely socialisation from being trained to compete in sports involving such factors as physical strength, speed, endurance, a competitive mind, strategising and team spirit; all ingredients necessary in building a new venture. The paper departs from a quantitative dataset, triangulating with qualitative data derived from an open-ended survey distributed to two separate samples in order to compare male and female experiences.

The exercises explained in this article, designed for a creativity or entrepreneurship class, but equally applicable for strategic management or even engineering classes, address the ubiquitous question of how to recognize and stimulate potentially lucrative ideas. Two exercises are sequentially paired to help students first identify business opportunities and then imaginatively craft potentially feasible business ideas. The Zeitgeist Exercise allows students to brainstorm business trends and radical innovations using PESTEL, then list or draw their observations on an expansive whiteboard, thereby capturing the intellectual climate of our times. The tactile nature of Play-Doh ™ Exercise encourages students to playfully explore solutions to opportunities identified in the first exercise. Students may mold trademarks or artifacts...
