Approaches to Entrepreneurship Development: A Literature Survey
No full textPurpose: This article aims to provide a brief description of various approaches to entrepreneurship
Methods: The article is entirely based on the literature survey. It consults books and journal articles to trace a variety of approaches proposed by different scholars in the d-fiend of entrepreneurship
Results: It identifies seven approaches to entrepreneurship namely, Psychological approach, Demographic approach, Behavioral Approach, Socio-cultural approach, Venture facilitation approach, Entrepreneurial event approach, Multidimensional approach, Hisrich’s Decision Model, and Eclectic Model
Implications: It implies that entrepreneurship may develop through multiple avenues. The educators and policymakers should consider the lessons of different approaches to identify the potential entrepreneurs for further development and provide them with the knowledge, skills, as well as other material supports for their development. 
A Survey of Entrepreneurship Education at University level in Bangladesh
No full textPurpose: The study attempts to evaluate the Entrepreneurship Development course(s) offered at the undergraduate level in different public and private universities in Bangladesh in terms of their objectives and contribution in developing traits, skills, and knowledge among the students.
Methods: This is a descriptive study based on a questionnaire survey. Data were collected from the faculty members who were teaching or taught entrepreneurship courses at the undergraduate level (BBA). A total of 58 respondents, 16 from Public Universities, and 42 Private Universities filled up the questionnaire properly and used for data analysis. The questionnaire was developed based on the Entrepreneurship Education Model (Azim & AlKahtani 2015).
Results: It is found that as a whole the courses are offered with a medium level of effectiveness with the mean score of 2.36 on the scale of 4. It is also observed that the Entrepreneurship courses offered at various academic Levels in Bangladesh are run with the aim of teaching ‘about’ entrepreneurship rather than to ‘create entrepreneurs’ in the true sense of the term.
Implications: The research has inevitable implications for faculty members and universities as regards the content, facilitation, and overall management of the course. These are discussed in the article

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
