Esta tesis realiza una contribución importante al estudio del emprendimiento, a partir de la identificación de las competencias de los egresados de nivel universitario y su influencia en la creación de empresas. El presente trabajo aporta fundamento teórico y empírico al campo de la economía de la empresa y la educación. Los resultados de esta investigación brindan mayor conocimiento en relación a las habilidades, aptitudes y destrezas de los emprendedores. Y sugiere el potencial de las universidades para mejorar el desempeño de sus egresados en la creación de empresas. El capítulo 2 señala los factores internos y externos de las empresas de reciente y nueva creación, destacando aquellos que influyen en las aspiraciones de crecimiento de los emprendedores. Con una revisión de literatura se resaltan los principales trabajos cuyas aportaciones han relacionado el crecimiento empresarial con factores como la capacidad de la empresa y características del propietario. Utilizando como marco teórico la teoría del comportamiento planeado de Ajzen (1991), la teoría institucional de North (1991) y la teoría basada en los recursos (Barney, 1991; Wernerfelt, 1995; Winter, 1995), se integran en un modelo teórico propuesto en el cuál se plantean diferentes hipótesis sobre la influencia de cada uno de estos factores en las aspiraciones del emprendedor hacia el crecimiento de su empresa de reciente y nueva creación. Se evalúa el impacto de los factores en las aspiraciones de crecimiento en empleos, realizando un estudio empírico con los datos del GEM (2008), para concluir y proponer futuras líneas de investigación. Posteriormente, en el capítulo 3, se analizan las competencias de los egresados universitarios, que de acuerdo al grado de importancia y nivel de desarrollo en la universidad, consiguen distinguir al grupo de los emprendedores de los no emprendedores. Realizando una revisión de literatura se resaltan los trabajos de autores, cuyas aportaciones han relacionado las características y competencias de los propietarios con el emprendimiento. Utilizando como marco teórico la teoría basada en los recursos, se plantean hipótesis que se llevan a la contrastación desarrollando un trabajo empírico con datos de egresados universitarios del Tecnológico de Monterrey (2013), institución educativa con presencia muy significativa en México, una visión de educar hacia la formación de emprendedores y una comunidad de más de 250,000 egresados en 72 años desde su fundación (Tecnologico de Monterrey, 2015). Utilizando la técnica estadística de análisis discriminante los resultados revelan que las competencias trabajo en equipo, comunicación y capacidad de innovación, mejoran la clasificación de los emprendedores con formación universitaria. El capítulo 4 se apoya de los resultados del trabajo previo, con el fin de señalar las competencias de los egresados universitarios que mejor contribuyen al desempeño de la empresa en función a los ingresos del propio emprendedor. Se realiza una revisión de literatura con los trabajos que han relacionado las características de los emprendedores y su efecto en el desempeño del emprendimiento. La teoría basada en los recursos nos proporciona de nuevo un marco teórico óptimo para proponer y contrastar las hipótesis a través de un trabajo empírico, nuevamente con datos de egresados universitarios de México (2013). Finalmente se discuten los resultados para concluir y proponer futuras líneas de investigación.

Las universidades se han convertido en uno de los principales actores en la formación y desarrollo de los futuros emprendedores. Este fenómeno ha gatillado el crecimiento exponencial de la educación pata el emprendimiento lo que se expresa en nuevas metodologías, cursos, programas académicos y el desarrollo de ecosistemas emprendedores compuestos por actividades, infraestructuras y redes de colaboración. Si bien la literatura sobre ecosistemas de emprendimiento continúa ampliándose, repensar cómo los ecosistemas de emprendimiento universitario en economías emergentes se configuran para generar múltiples impactos en la comunidad universitaria aún demanda una mayor discusión conceptual y empírica.Motivado por esta oportunidad, el objetivo general de esta tesis doctoral es explorar la configuración y los impactos de los ecosistemas de emprendimiento universitario en el contexto de las economías emergentes. Los tres objetivos específicos de esta tesis doctoral son: (a) proponer un modelo teórico que permita comprender la configuración de los ecosistemas de emprendimiento universitario en el contexto de una economía emergente (OE1); (b) explorar la influencia que generan los ecosistemas de emprendimiento universitario en el comportamiento de los egresados en economías emergentes (SO2), y (c) explorar los impactos generados por los egresados emprendedores que surgieron de un ecosistema de emprendimiento universitario en una economía emergente (SO3).Esta tesis doctoral contribuirá al campo del emprendimiento a través de un análisis de la literatura existente y la propuesta de un modelo conceptual que ayude a comprender este fenómeno y probarlo en un entorno de economía emergente. Al analizar una encuesta de seguimiento, proporcionaremos información sobre la influencia en el comportamiento de los graduados de un ecosistema emprendedor universitario y sus impactos directos/indirectos en varias dimensiones sociales. Con base en nuestros hallazgos, buscamos tener una implicación significativa para los administradores universitarios y los formuladores de políticas al proporcionar información relevante para futuras estrategias que aumenten el desempeño e impacto de los ecosistemas emprendedores.

·What can be done to ensure universities are well positioned to meet the challenges of the fast moving world of the 21st century? This is the central question addressed by Burton R. Clark in this significant new volume which greatly extends the case studies and concepts presented in his 1998 book, Creating Entrepreneurial Universities. The new volume draws on case studies of fourteen proactive institutions in the UK, Europe, Australia, Latin America, Africa, and the United States that extend analysis into the early years of the twenty-first century. The cumulative international coverage underpins a more fully developed conceptual framework offering insight into ways of initiating and sustaining change in universities. This new conceptual framework shifts attention from transformation to sustainability rooted in a constructed steady state of change and a collegial approach to entrepreneurialism. It contains key elements necessary for universities to adapt successfully to the modern world. Lessons for reform can be drawn directly from both the individual case studies and the general framework. Overall the book offers a new form of university organization that is more self-reliant and manages to combine change with continuity, traditional academic values with new managerial values. Essential reading for university administrators, faculty members, students and researchers analysing higher education, and educational policymakers worldwide, this book advocates a highly proactive approach to university change and specifies a new basis for university self- reliance. Burton R. Clark is Allan M. Cartter Professor Emeritus of Higher Education and Sociology at the University of California, Los Angeles. During his career, he has taught at five leading US universities: Stanford, Harvard, Berkeley, Yale and UCLA. He has published widely on the nature of university organization and the realistic possibilties of reform, linking research for understanding with research for use.

Based on twenty case studies of universities worldwide, and on a survey administered to leaders in 101 universities, this open access book shows that, amidst the significant challenges caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, universities found ways to engage with schools to support them in sustaining educational opportunity. In doing so, they generated considerable innovation, which reinforced the integration of the research and outreach functions of the university. The evidence suggests that universities are indeed open systems, in interaction with their environment, able to discover changes that can influence them and to change in response to those changes. They are also able, in the success of their efforts to mitigate the educational impact of the pandemic, to create better futures, as the result of the innovations they can generate. This challenges the view of universities as "ivory towers" being isolated from the surrounding environment and detached from local problems. As they reached out to schools, universities not only generated clear and valuable innovations to sustain educational opportunity and to improve it, this process also contributed to transform internal university processes in ways that enhanced their own ability to deliver on the third mission of outreach

What is the proper subject matter of political theory? What kind of a theory is political theory? Uncertainty about the most appropriate way of answering these questions provides the key rationales for this volume: to provide a comprehensive overview of the central questions and debates in contemporary political thought and to offer guidelines for the reformation of political theory made necessary by the philosophical and substantive problems it faces today. The twelve essays in this book examine some of the classic traditional questions of political theory: the nature of obligation, equality, liberty, the public, the private, democracy, and justice. They also examine questions that relate these notions to a broader framework encompassing the many recent changes in the nation-state, forms of sovereignty, domestic and international law, violence and warfare, and domestic and international political economy. The contributors are leading scholars in political theory from the United States, Europe, and Africa: Samara Amin, Charles Beitz, Antonio Cassese, John Dunn, Jon Elster, David Held, Agnes Heller, Steven Lukes, Iain McLean, Claus Offe, Susan Moller Okin, Onora O'Neill and Ulrich K

Understanding Computers and Cognition presents an important and controversial new approach to understanding what computers do and how their functioning is related to human language, thought, and action. While it is a book about computers, Understanding Computers and Cognition goes beyond the specific issues of what computers can or can't do. It is a broad-ranging discussion exploring the background of understanding in which the discourse about computers and technology takes place. Understanding Computers and Cognition is written for a wide audience, not just those professionals involved in computer design or artificial intelligence. It represents an important contribution to the ongoing discussion about what it means to be a machine, and what it means to be human. Book jacket.

A Business Week Best Book of the Year.... "A devastating and wholly necessary book."—Studs Terkel, author of Working In The Corrosion of Character, Richard Sennett, "among the country's most distinguished thinkers . . . has concentrated into 176 pages a profoundly affecting argument" (Business Week) that draws on interviews with dismissed IBM executives, bakers, a bartender turned advertising executive, and many others to call into question the terms of our new economy. In his 1972 classic, The Hidden Injuries of Class (written with Jonathan Cobb), Sennett interviewed a man he called Enrico, a hardworking janitor whose life was structured by a union pay schedule and given meaning by his sacrifices for the future. In this new book-a #1 bestseller in Germany-Sennett explores the contemporary scene characterized by Enrico's son, Rico, whose life is more materially successful, yet whose work lacks long-term commitments or loyalties. Distinguished by Sennett's "combination of broad historical and literary learning and a reporter's willingness to walk into a store or factory [and] strike up a conversation" (New York Times Book Review), this book "challenges the reader to decide whether the flexibility of modern capitalism . . . is merely a fresh form of oppression" (Publishers Weekly, starred review). Praise for The Corrosion of Character: "A benchmark for our time."—Daniel Bell "[A]n incredibly insightful book."—William Julius Wilson "[A] remarkable synthesis of acute empirical observation and serious moral reflection."—Richard Rorty "[Sennett] offers abundant fresh insights . . . illuminated by his concern with people's struggle to give meaning to their lives."—[Memphis] Commercial Appeal
