Book excerpt: This thesis investigates the impact of individual, team and pedagogical factors on individual and team level outcomes in the context of entrepreneurship education. Despite the growth in research focused on entrepreneurship education in recent decades, there are on-going concerns about methodological rigor within the domain. Furthermore, few researchers have explored the student team in entrepreneurship education. Drawing primarily on Social Cognitive Career Theory and the Input-Mediator-Output framework, this study explores the influence of factors such as entrepreneurial self-efficacy, entrepreneurial intentionality, creativity, and entrepreneurial experience on individual and student team outcomes. A series of four quantitative studies were conducted, drawing on 1,004 third-level students and 185 student teams. In synthesising the findings with extant knowledge, a definition and research framework for the student team in entrepreneurship education is presented. The key findings indicate that in entrepreneurship education, students with entrepreneurial experience have higher entrepreneurial intentionality and founding passion, while student teams with entrepreneurship experience are associated with better team processes, higher performance, and more innovative outcomes. Furthermore, entrepreneurial self-efficacy predicts entrepreneurial intentions, subject interest, and reduces social loafing. In addition, perceptions of creativity, creativity training, and supportive climates for innovation (team and institutional) are positive predictors of individual and team outcomes. The study provides a critical review of prominent entrepreneurship theories, and provides a contextual revision of an individual trait-based measure of entrepreneurial tendencies. By using novel operationalisations of key constructs the team-level studies, greater insight into team emergent states and misalignment is provided. It is the first study to examine cognitive team separation variables in context. Pedagogically, the four studies provide actionable insights for the educator in areas such as training, team selection, and mitigation of social loafing, thus enhancing the delivery of entrepreneurship education, and supporting a stronger ecosystem conducive to student entrepreneurial development.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: African agriculture is currently at a crossroads, at which persistent food shortages are compounded by threats from climate change. But, as this book argues, Africa can feed itself in a generation and can help contribute to global food security. To achieve this Africa has to define agriculture as a force in economic growth by advancing scientific and technological research, investing in infrastructure, fostering higher technical training, and creating regional markets.

Book excerpt: "The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic marks the most significant, singular global disruption since World War II, with health, economic, political, and security implications that will ripple for years to come." -Global Trends 2040 (2021) Global Trends 2040-A More Contested World (2021), released by the US National Intelligence Council, is the latest report in its series of reports starting in 1997 about megatrends and the world's future. This report, strongly influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic, paints a bleak picture of the future and describes a contested, fragmented and turbulent world. It specifically discusses the four main trends that will shape tomorrow's world: - Demographics-by 2040, 1.4 billion people will be added mostly in Africa and South Asia. - Economics-increased government debt and concentrated economic power will escalate problems for the poor and middleclass. - Climate-a hotter world will increase water, food, and health insecurity. - Technology-the emergence of new technologies could both solve and cause problems for human life. Students of trends, policymakers, entrepreneurs, academics, journalists and anyone eager for a glimpse into the next decades, will find this report, with colored graphs, essential reading.
