Driven By Dreams 2023 Program

Driven by Dreams

January 10, 2023

Driven by Dreams

USASBE Members: Jim Moran, the visionary entrepreneur who lent his name to Florida State University’s College of Entrepreneurship, was driven by the dream of meeting people’s needs. He did this by fearlessly undertaking innovative ideas, keeping what worked, and releasing what didn’t. His efforts led to innovations that are now ubiquitous within the automobile industry: car warranties, automobile financing, and car dealership TV commercials just to name a few.

And so too, 2022 was a year in which USASBE drove further and faster toward operationalizing the organization’s strategic plan by testing many ambitious ideas. We conducted programs that provided year-round value to our members, including symposia on topics such as creative and cultural industries and certifications and professional development workshops focused on specific aspects of entrepreneurship education such as rural entrepreneurship education, social entrepreneurship, and blockchain.

In addition to increasing opportunities for our members to convene around areas of common interest, we also developed our infrastructure to enable USASBE to be recognized as THE source for exceptional entrepreneurship education content. Be prepared to see more of this as we move into 2023!

Like we tell our students, “Ideas are cheap— bringing them to life is the hard part,” and in 2022, USASBE put the proverbial pedal to the metal in this regard. We have experimented with new ideas, including our first USASBE-led program overseas faculty immersion in Italy. Now we are evaluating what works, refining our program offerings, and expanding where successes were achieved.

Driven by Dreams

There are no stop signs on this road we are traveling, and the map is constantly changing.

We’ve heard a dramatic increase in ideas from you, our members. It’s a testament that you believe in USASBE’s ability to be a valuable part of your own development as entrepreneurship education leaders. In 2023, you will be introduced to the work accomplished by our Programs Commission for formalizing new program recommendations with a review process. Share your ideas for creating new educational leadership, collaborating on impactful research, and developing deeper professional connections.

We conclude this letter with a BIG thank you to our 2023 Host Sponsor, Florida State University’s Jim Moran College of Entrepreneurship. The support of President McCullough, Dean Fiorito, and her team has been essential in bringing the 2023 annual conference to life. Our theme for 2023 is “Driven by Dreams” so…

On your marks, get set, go!

Forever forward,

Julienne Shields President/CEO

On behalf of Florida State University and the Jim Moran College of Entrepreneurship, welcome to the United States Association for Small Business and Entrepreneurship 2023 Conference! We are excited to host this conference and facilitate this important national discussion of entrepreneurship in higher education.

FSU has long been a supporter of USASBE. Our faculty have attended USASBE conferences for the past 15 years and served on the USASBE board for the past eight. These conferences allow colleges and universities that represent the best in entrepreneurship to come together to learn from one another. They have given our faculty the opportunity to learn new classroom exercises, adopt new best practices for teaching, and find new partners for collaboration on groundbreaking research.

As an entrepreneur myself, I recognize how vital it is that universities support their faculty and students in following their entrepreneurial dreams. Fostering a culture of entrepreneurship allows our students and faculty to share their ideas and innovations with the world and helps to create job opportunities and economic prosperity across the nation. That’s why advancing entrepreneurship is one of my top goals and an essential part of the university’s strategic plan.

When our Jim Moran College of Entrepreneurship was created six years ago with a transformative gift from Jan Moran and the Jim Moran Foundation, it built upon an entrepreneurial culture already present at FSU and helped it grow beyond all expectations. This past year, FSU undergraduate students started 100 new businesses and our faculty members created three start-ups based on new licensed technology. As the nation’s first stand-alone entrepreneurship college at a public university, the Jim Moran College was honored with the USASBE Model Emerging Program Award in January 2019 and placed No. 19 in The Princeton Review’s latest ranking of the nation’s top undergraduate entrepreneurship programs and No. 11 among public schools.

Universities play an essential role in developing the next generation of entrepreneurs. We provide our students with experiences and expertise that will prepare them to create their own business or thrive in one. The foundational skills of entrepreneurship — the courage to push boundaries and try new things, the creativity to turn ideas into reality, and the ability to overcome setbacks — will help students excel in whatever field they choose. That’s why it’s so important to host conferences like this one to ensure that our programs stay on the forefront of entrepreneurial innovation.

I hope you all have a wonderful time at this week's events and enjoy your stay in Tallahassee!

Sincerely,

Richard McCullough President, Florida State University

Become a catalyst for change.

Summit Learning Journey Summit

The GUMPTION Project: Extraordinary, Ordinary Entrepreneurs Everywhere® Leads: Ted Zoller and Jeff Hornsby

Are you tired of the Silicon Valley view of entrepreneurship? Do you believe that entrepreneurship is distributed widely and rooted everywhere in your community? Do you hope to celebrate the “entrepreneur next door”? If so, join us for this innovative, interactive summit exploring a new approach toward increasing entrepreneurship rates among your students, alumni, and community. As part of a longitudinal research project at University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, the GUMPTION Project seeks to understand the factors that influence entrepreneurs in committing “all in” and grabbing the brass ring. This commitment—which is the act of GUMPTION—celebrates the pioneering, bold, yet eccentric spirit of the entrepreneur in taking matters into their own hands without regard to personal risk.

Summit attendees will be exposed to a series of personal examples of entrepreneurs from across the globe who demonstrate a brimming share of GUMPTION through their work changing the world around them as well as a novel method to capture their story as a data collection project. In the process, you will learn about a new research approach and toolkit to discover how GUMPTION can be encouraged and nurtured among your students, alumni, and community to increase their likelihood of taking the leap! You will leave with a new understanding of this important concept AND a toolkit to explore the Gumptionness of your own students and community. We invite all to join us for this exciting and innovative sprint to democratize and encourage entrepreneurship at your universities and communities.

Contributors: Rodney D'Souza, Texas Christian University | Rebecca White, University of Tampa | Heidi Neck, Babson University | Andrew Corbett, Babson University

Entrepreneurship competency has the potential to drive new business creation, business growth, economic growth, and community development. Therefore, equipping students with not only the knowledge, but also the competency necessary to engage successfully, is becoming an essential focal point in the creation, development, and delivery of impactful entrepreneurship education programs around the world. This summit will begin with an exploration of the origins of the competency movement. Panelists and attendees will then examine what we know so far about nascent research on entrepreneurship competencies, where they fit in the entrepreneurial process, and their measurement through a series of reflections.

DEI, Sustainability, and Disadvantaged Communities – In the Entrepreneurship Classroom

Sponsored by VentureWell

Leads: Oscar Edwards, Stacey D. Reynolds, Maria D. González, Shorouq Almallah, Meg Weber, Richard Chan, and Kristin Burton

Hosted by the Minority and Women in Entrepreneurship (MWE) SIG, this interactive session will continue to build on the 2023 focus on sustainable entrepreneurship and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). An educational approach to sustainable development

has emerged in the entrepreneurship literature. The MWE SIG summit will focus on SDGs for the entrepreneurship classroom and sustainability in the context of inclusion and representation. Through presentations and roundtable discussions, we will highlight classroom and system-level changes that may activate the learning design in this space. Participants will walk away with models and approaches to implement entrepreneurial sustainability and ecosystem changes in their own institutions.

Educators and practitioners will present two distinct elements of programming. A presentation of universitybased sustainability practices and entrepreneurship education applications: What can you do to advance more entrepreneurial sustainability research in disadvantaged communities? Second, utilizing the UN SDGs and entrepreneurship classroom pedagogy, educators demonstrate how their students can build awareness, have the diversity of thought, and activate around new venture opportunities driven by inclusive representation and in a disadvantaged community context. Individual roundtable sharing will close the session.

Turnbull Conference Center Room 115 Summit Learning Journey Summit

Tech Touches Everything

Leads: Kevin Oye and Mike Provance

Contributors: Robert Lahm, Jr. and Jeff Whalen

Today, technology touches almost every aspect of our day-to-day lives. We stay connected via social media; we interact with our families and work colleagues over face-toface video calls; we search for information online; we make purchases and have products and services delivered to our door. There are now more smartphones in the world than people. With the emergence of cloud computing, services and applications that used to require hefty infrastructure investments can now be created with minimal startup capital, enabling almost anyone to tap into massive computing power to create new services and products. Tech now touches everything and everyone.

In this summit, co-hosted by FSU’s Jim Moran College of Entrepreneurship, Jeff Whalen, STEM EIR, will lead us on a crawl (tour) of FSU’s campus to see firsthand how tech has touched entrepreneurship programs across the

university, in both classical STEM areas, as well as areas such as fashion design and theater. This will be a wonderful opportunity to meet the people, see the facilities, and meet students who are leveraging technology in their entrepreneurial aspirations. We’ll conclude the crawl with a networking lunch where we can share our own experiences on the intersection of technology with entrepreneurship.

Corporate entrepreneurship is concerned with increasing the entrepreneurial mindset within established organizations. It incorporates two major areas: corporate venturing (innovating new businesses or products) as well as strategic entrepreneurship (innovating services or processes within existing organizations).

As we continue to emerge from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, companies around the world are struggling to position themselves to compete in a new normal environment. These challenges are magnified by a confluence of other trends, including but not limited to: emerging Industry 4.0 technologies; concerns over the environment; geopolitical upheavals; and calls for more diversity, equity, and inclusion in the workplace and beyond. These trends pose interesting challenges for entrepreneurship educators, researchers, and policymakers.

In this workshop, our facilitators and participants will engage in meaningful discussions about how to develop impactful learning environments for students who are preparing to become value-added players in the market. Additionally, we will explore new technology-based tools for teaching and conducting research in this area. Additionally we will highlight fruitful areas of future research in corporate entrepreneurship.

This summit will also cover how these trends impact what we teach and how we should be teaching. We will discuss where do we go from here with research and impactful translation of research. Download

Summit Learning Journey Summit Transitional Entrepreneurship

Leads: Chris Willis and Anil Nair

Transitional Entrepreneurship focuses on entrepreneurship as a route to transition from one stage of life to another. This may be military personnel who use entrepreneurship to transition to civilian life. Other such groups typically include immigrants, refugees, women, incarcerated individuals, and minorities. Individuals from each of these groups face unique adversities in launching their ventures that are often not addressed by local entrepreneurial ecosystems.

The session will include discussions about the state of research in this domain, applicable theories, data sets, and opportunities. We hope to encourage future relevant research projects and actionable ideas to address the grand challenges facing marginalized members of our society as they launch their ventures, ensuring equitable economic growth across our communities.

We welcome those interested in research focused on developing solutions to challenges faced by such entrepreneurs in transition.

Unleashing Entrepreneurial Opportunities and Education for the Community and Students: An Example of a Constructivist, Project-Based, Experiential Learning Approach

Dr. Stephen Moore, University of NC at Pembroke | Dr. Dena Breece, University of NC at Pembroke

The authors discuss a start-up university-led community-based experiential learning and rural entrepreneurship innovation design lab that supports local underserved minority university students and a minority population community. This reasearch aims to describe how this type of support provides a collaborative setting for sharing social and environmental concerns that positively impact rural farmers (agriculturists) and the community. We explain how experiential, agricultural entrepreneurship education can be improved in hopes that session participants and those concerned with supporting rural entrepreneurship can obtain insights for their own endeavors and research.

Analysis of a Small Business Development Center’s Entrepreneurial Training Program and Counseling Services for Rural and Urban Entrepreneurs in Wisconsin

Danielle C. Ailts Campeau, Saint Mary’s University of Minnesota | Logan Kelly, University of Wisconsin - River Falls

Entrepreneurship education and training programs have emerged as a way to support rural entrepreneurs, though research on the impact of existing training programs is limited. Using the theory of guided preparation, this study evaluated business formation and capital acquisition following participation in an entrepreneurial training program and utilization of counseling services by the Small Business Development Center program to rural entrepreneurs in the state of Wisconsin from 20142021. This study found an increased likelihood of starting a business and acquiring capital following participation in the entrepreneurial training program and utilization of counseling services. The results imply that the guided preparation services offered by Wisconsin SBDC regional centers are effective in improving rural business startup rates and capital acquisition.

An Investigation on Factors Influencing University Students’ Entrepreneurship Orientations

Carlos M. Baldo, PhD, Colorado Mesa University | Shiang-Lih Chen McCain, PhD, Colorado Mesa University | Georgann Jouflas, Colorado Mesa University

Entrepreneurial orientation (risk-taking, innovation, and proactive) predicts entrepreneurial intentions. The results from a mid-U.S. university 315 students indicated significant differences between students who were raised in rural areas and those who were not raised in rural areas regarding how perceived internal and external barriers impact their entrepreneurship orientations.

Flatline: Evaluating the Effectiveness of Entrepreneurship Education to Increase Student’s Entrepreneurial Intention

John Dobson, Clark University | Lisa Dobson, DYME Institute | Carolina Llorente Portillo, Deusto Business School

Entrepreneurship is a fundamental driver of economic development, critical for poverty reduction and essential for sustainable development. Unfortunately, the growth in entrepreneurship education (EE) programming has occurred without consensus or a corresponding increase in students actually engaging in entrepreneurship.

An Integrated Model of Entrepreneurial Creativity

Constant D. Beugre, Delaware State University

This paper develops an integrated model that describes entrepreneurial creativity as a multidimensional concept including three main components: 1) individual, 2) organizational, and 3) societal. The model suggests that a

better understanding of entrepreneurial creativity should integrate these three dimensions. Its implications for research and entrepreneurship education are discussed.

Designing Living Learning Communities from Idea to Implementation

R. Carson Durham, BLDD Architects Principal | Bruce L. Maxey, BLDD Architects Principal | John Quarton, Illinois Weslyan University Director of the Petrick Idea Center

Faced with siloed departments, scattered programs, or … gasp … disengaged students, your campus administrators might be calling out for a superhero! But what if it didn’t require gamma rays or radioactive spiders to save your campus? What if you could make your own heroes? That’s exactly the approach Illinois Wesleyan University is taking with the new Petrick Idea Center, a centralized living/ learning community empowering students to develop new innovations, collaborate across disciplines, and ultimately “do well, and do good” as campus heroes.

Join this session to learn from the design team and IWU staff making this vision a reality. And remember, heroes aren’t born, they’re made!
