Entrepreneurial Mindset Express 2020
Volume 3 Number 1
Thank you to the authors from Austria, France, Italy, Pakistan and Romania for taking the time to share their inspiring stories. Click on any image to read or download the article.
Executive Summary: These texts centre on the development and application of an entrepreneurial mindset as a vital tool for understanding and navigating rapid, unpredictable global transformations in business and higher education. A major focus is corporate intrapreneurship, which utilises open-access courses and supportive company cultures to help employees innovate from within while managing the natural tension of challenging the status quo. To drive performance within these organisational settings, leaders are encouraged to dynamically flex between leadership and management behaviours—ranging from coaching to instructing—based on their team's specific needs. The articles also detail real-world entrepreneurial journeys, illustrating how university experiences, marketing knowledge, and the freedom of decision-making help founders overcome early operational and management obstacles. Ultimately, these journeys emphasise that true entrepreneurial success is deeply rooted in personal values, self-belief, emotional intelligence, and a commitment to mentoring and impacting others' lives.

Volume 3 Number 2
Thank you to the authors from Bulgaria, England, France, Scotland and South Africa for taking the time to share their inspiring stories. Click on any image to read or download the article.
Executive Summary: These articles focus on how organisations, particularly human resource departments and small businesses, can navigate the immense disruption, uncertainty, and remote working conditions brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. To survive and thrive, employers must reset their HR strategies by shifting to remote management and building trust, while demonstrating deep compassion and support for employees' wellbeing and engagement during this watershed crisis. Rather than just treating the symptoms of work-related stress in a volatile world, organisations are encouraged to adopt flatter, more entrepreneurial structures that grant teams autonomy, foster open communication, and cultivate workplace learning. Overcoming the fear of failure is critical, meaning leaders must replace a culture of blame with one of controlled experimentation, prototyping, and planned risk-taking to develop dynamic organisational agility. Finally, these adaptive mindsets are illustrated through practical examples of business resilience, such as turning crises into opportunities by "unlearning" old perceptions or rapidly pivoting cancelled physical events into highly structured, engaging webinars.

Volume 3 Number 3
Thank you to the authors from Estonia, Germany, Ireland, Pakistan and Türkiye for taking the time to share their inspiring stories. Click on any image to read or download the article.
Executive Summary: These articles demonstrate that fostering an entrepreneurial mindset is a lifelong development process, starting as early as preschool education to cultivate vital non-cognitive skills like self-confidence and creativity, and continuing into higher education to address graduate underemployment. To turn these mindsets into action, initiatives like the "Creative Spark" programme and Connected Women Pakistan empower young people and female founders through mentorship, business clinics, and competitive pitching challenges. These structured opportunities proved particularly vital during the COVID-19 pandemic, helping vulnerable small businesses and young innovators navigate severe economic disruptions by pitching creative solutions and boosting online sales. In academic and research sectors, an entrepreneurial approach is leveraged to bridge the gap between science and industry, utilising dedicated networks to facilitate university-business collaborations that transfer R&D findings directly into small and medium-sized enterprises. Ultimately, for established companies to successfully innovate, they must move past superficial "innovation theatre" and build innovation as a core capability by embedding a supportive strategy, culture, and structure championed directly from the executive level.
