We conducted a descriptive and exploratory research to classify this production in the following dimensions: i) the nature of study; ii) the focus addressed by the study; iii) the research approach used; and iv) the use of empirical data. Regarding the nature of study, we used two categories: descriptive and prescriptive studies. As for the focus addressed by the studies, we conducted a differentiation of it based on three levels: individual level, enterprise or organizational level and contextual level. Finally, we classified the research approach into quantitative, qualitative and mixed approaches. These criteria relied on seminal works by Low and MacMillan (1988), Gartner (1985) and Stevenson and Jarillo (1990). The information sources used in this study were based on publications from four annals from leading national academic meetings in the entrepreneurship and management fields and three main Brazilian management journals. The results indicate a minor presence (27%) of prescriptive studies on how entrepreneurs can be successful in their actions, compared to 73%) of descriptive studies. The focus addressed by the studies pointed mainly to the enterprise level (50%), while both individual (20%o) and contextual levels (30%) were less emphasized. Research approaches were evenly distributed among the three categories ("quantitative", "qualitative" and "mixed"). Prior to the 1990s, few studies were found regarding longitudinal analysis. In fact, after 1990, the literature showed significant growth in the number of research groups across Brazil. However, for the moment the research themes of each research group are not clearly delineated.INTRODUCTIONEntrepreneurship is a research field that has been growing quite considerably in the last fifty years. A range of studies was conducted since the 1950s, generating a research tradition in this field. Starting from different focuses of analysis, those studies have comprised economic, psychosocial and even political approaches. These studies also indicate the eminent character of this research area in the contemporary scholarly literature about Management. This growing level of activity in the field has led to attempts of establishing it as a discipline in its own right (see, for instance, FRIED, 2003; MACMILLAN 1991, 1993).Nevertheless, the delimitation of this study field is not precise, and the question behind it has been discussed in recent papers, as by Shane & Venkataraman, (2000), Gartner (2001), and Moroz & Hindle (2012), for instance. Some aspects related to the nature of the studies in entrepreneurship as well as some perspectives of the field refer to some of the main issues that are in debate (DAVIDSSON et al,, 2001; LOW, 2001; GARTNER, 2001; ALDRICH & MARTINEZ, 2001; CHANDLER & LYON, 2001).In the Brazilian context, studying the definition of the boundaries of Entrepreneurship might seem innocuous, since the experience in conducting investigation in this field remains still quite recent. However, from the 1990s on, a movement of valorization and multiplication of the studies about entrepreneurship has started to be advanced in Brazil.That said, the purpose of this paper is, first, to map the literature on entrepreneurship over the last forty years in Brazil, in order to investigate aspects related to the nature, the focus and the methodology of the studies, elements that may have led to their publication. Second, from that analysis, we discuss some future perspectives for new studies in the field.The paper starts proposing a general overview of the research in entrepreneurship. Following that, in the second section we present the methodology of our study and, in the third section, we discuss our results. In the conclusion we highlight a couple of recent developments in the field of Entrepreneurship in Brazil and we suggest future directions for the academic consolidation of this field. …

The paper defines the threshold concept, outlines pedagogic principles and describes learning activities that seek to enact these principles. The paper is based upon experience of an established final-year university undergraduate course.

This experience relates to an initiative to foster entrepreneurial education embedded in economic sustainability based on the best local practices (highest-ranked municipalities) that we find and analyze to solve complex problems in the business environment. Design/Methodology/Approach: our approach is to collaborate with policymakers at the municipal level via a research-based project approach called Vertically Integrated Project (VIP). In our VIP, students work with instructors in a long-term effort to identify challenges and opportunities by working with the community to analyze problems, develop solutions (with different techniques and approaches), and monitor their implementation.

We propose a novel conceptual model. To validate the model, we used structural equation modelling. Data were collected in a survey with 261 responses from companies in Brazil, Canada and the USA. A multigroup analysis was carried out. The results for the whole sample show that all the CSF investigated have a positive and significant influence at 1% on innovativeness, with the greatest influence obtained by the construct innovative culture and strategy, followed by research and development infrastructure, management knowledge and the innovative environment. The originality lies (1) in a proposition of a novel theoretical model that investigates both the individual effect and joint action of the constructs related to CSF, in a broader set of CSF; (2) in a deeper analysis of the relationship between innovativeness with the innovation performance of organizations in the electronic industry; (3) in a different dimension of analysis comparison considering three different innovation systems; and (4) in a managerial contribution by encouraging the construction of an organizational culture that has as its values the constant search for innovation and for encouraging the creation of innovative solutions.

Such activities are usually of complex nature, since they are subject to diverse customs requirements in different countries. In this context, Brazilian customs is ranked low in terms of competitiveness according to various international organizations. However, published studies on customs administration in Brazil are rare, and there is no research addressing performance measurement in the specialized literature. Thus, this paper aims to present and discuss performance indicators employed by customs administrations around the world, with a special attention to Brazil. Customs is part of a global supply chain management. As an exploratory qualitative research, this ...

On the other hand, controls or inefficient processes may affect the flow of trade and may compromise the competitiveness of economic operators. This paper aims to analyse performance indicators related to international trade and cross-border operations from the economic operator perspective. The method compares the analysis of the indicators found in literature to the indicators at the regulatory level. As a result, our study provides a useful opportunity to unveil the authorised economic operator (AEO) indicators in an implementing country1318110

Non-tech companies are characterized by little knowledge and limited resources. How could this kind of company reach the global market? What barriers hinder the exporting process the most? A confirmatory factor analysis was carried out, and the validated model based on 71 responses obtained was adjusted in a selected sector. The results suggest that the governmental and sociocultural barriers are the most significant from the perspective of external barriers, while market barriers and the manager’s personal dimensions have greater significance from the perspective of internal barriers. Our paper offers a theoretical contribution by developing a measurement model (a) testing the existing barriers simultaneously with the managerial/entrepreneurial barriers and with (b) the focus on non-tech firms. For practitioners, the identification of barriers can be useful to foster specific actions in terms of public policies, in addition to internal actions focused on the development of the managers’ capacities.
