While it is true that curiosity has recently been gaining significant visibility in the business world, however there is few information available about curiosity related to entrepreneurship. 
For this reason, this study proposed a model where curiosity is related to entrepreneurial intention, entrepreneurial self-efficacy to entrepreneurial intention and in addition having as moderator entrepreneurial self-efficacy. To test and analyze this model, a descriptive design was made. 
A questionnaire was developed with scales used previously in other research studies. A total 116 students from HEC Management School - University of Liège were studied in this research. Proceeding after the collection of the data, an exploratory data analysis (EDA) was made in Rstudio in order to perceive outliers and missing data. Following, a measurement model analysis was performed through Confirmatory Factor analysis (CFA) to test, evaluate and determine the adequacy of the model fit in Rstudio. Finally, to test the hypothesis was used a linear regression analysis in SPSS 26. 
The study showed that curiosity is not highly related to entrepreneurial intention. In addition, it was found an interesting finding which student ranked moderate-high in their curiosity scale. However, their curiosity is not having a significant impact in their entrepreneurial intention.
Additionally, the study examined that entrepreneurial self-efficacy and entrepreneurial intention are having an almost inexistent relationship. It can be caused because the students don’t believe in their capacity in performing entrepreneurial activities, and as results it impacts in their intentions in the creation of new venture business.
Finally, it was found that the relationship between curiosity and entrepreneurial intention is not moderated by Entrepreneurial Self efficacy.

Entrepreneurship and intrapreneurship have become a vehicle that offers solutions for social, environmental, and economic problems. Even though the level of entrepreneurial activity and its diversity have been motivated through public policies, social support has also played an important role in encouraging people to think of entrepreneurship as a desirable career choice. This book brings together analyses of those elements required for entrepreneurial and intrapreneurial intention and action, which ultimately become important leverages of development. Chapters highlight the importance of rural, urban, university, organizational, and family environments for a bunch of intentions and behaviors such as green, sport, social, corporate, innovative, traditional, and gender entrepreneurship. This entrepreneurial diversity is translated into higher development through the empowerment of women, environmental consciousness, and efficient production. Policymakers, scholars, and practitioners can find different examples and cases useful for decision-making, learning, and practice in this book.

Working life is in a major transition. Furthermore, environmental, societal, and economic problems challenge human activities. The need to develop reliance and sustainability also through higher education is evident. It has been anticipated that emphasis on entrepreneurship competencies will be even stronger in the future. In this book, Entrepreneurial Education Strengthening Resilience, Societal Change and Sustainability, we provide insights on how to develop entrepreneurial competencies within higher education and its existing networks. First, the book guides the reader to understand how political documents steer the implementation of global goals and what could be improved. Second, we present how pedagogical solutions and models can meaningfully support the development of entrepreneurial competencies in the field of higher education. We also show the complexity of this phenomenon, thus developing a deeper understanding of this educational issue. Third, we highlight the essence of developing teacher education in this context. Fourth, we stress that entrepreneurial competencies are also needed in the working life. Lastly, we present some interesting key points for developing entrepreneurial higher education from the entrepreneurial ecosystem point of view. The book consists of 13 articles from international scientific experts in this field. Our book provides new knowledge, ideas and opportunities for creating practices to enhance the development entrepreneurial, sustainable and resilient societies. The book is targeted to researchers, policy-makers, higher education providers, stakeholders, educators and trainers.

This book collects fifteen papers published in s Special Issue of Mathematics titled “Fuzzy Sets in Business Management, Finance, and Economics”, which was published in 2021. These paper cover a wide range of different tools from Fuzzy Set Theory and applications in many areas of Business Management and other connected fields. Specifically, this book contains applications of such instruments as, among others, Fuzzy Set Qualitative Comparative Analysis, Neuro-Fuzzy Methods, the Forgotten Effects Algorithm, Expertons Theory, Fuzzy Markov Chains, Fuzzy Arithmetic, Decision Making with OWA Operators and Pythagorean Aggregation Operators, Fuzzy Pattern Recognition, and Intuitionistic Fuzzy Sets. The papers in this book tackle a wide variety of problems in areas such as strategic management, sustainable decisions by firms and public organisms, tourism management, accounting and auditing, macroeconomic modelling, the evaluation of public organizations and universities, and actuarial modelling. We hope that this book will be useful not only for business managers, public decision-makers, and researchers in the specific fields of business management, finance, and economics but also in the broader areas of soft mathematics in social sciences. Practitioners will find methods and ideas that could be fruitful in current management issues. Scholars will find novel developments that may inspire further applications in the social sciences.
