Entrepreneurial programs often do not address the needs of Millennial learners nor do they offer students an opportunity to enhance skills that companies want most. We examined high recognition programs and present a framework that incorporates their positive attributes and addresses their gaps. Top entrepreneurship programs employ professors with entrepreneurial backgrounds, and offer experiential classes that are supplemented by well-financed extra-curricular activities like pitch contests. The gaps in current top programs include a lack of a full entrepreneurial experience for students and a need for students to gain skill sets most desired by organizations. We present a framework for transferring best practice attributes to a start-up program that also addresses the gaps outlined. This framework includes having professors with entrepreneurial experience who teach a selection of courses comparable to those offered by top programs, activities where students learn teamwork, communication, and other skills desired most by companies, and an immersive component such as a practicum or internship where students are fully immersed in an entrepreneurial experience. Teaching methods that utilize active learning, immediate application of concepts, informal learning environments, and a strong interpersonal relationship with faculty combine to enhance the Millennial students’ learning experiences and produce positive stakeholder outcomes.

Videos have long been used in the classroom to enhance learning. However, traditional-aged students (ages 18 to 21) have so much interactive video exposure that opportunities to actively engage them with the material continue to exist. There are multiple ways to use video to enhance student learning. Four interactive pedagogical methods of using film in the classroom with are presented along with student feedback for each. The first and second methods involve having students find video examples of class concepts; the third method asks students to provide video examples of related concepts from supplemental articles and class; and in the last method, students actually make videos demonstrating class concepts. These all require that students learn, practice, and persist in efforts which reinforce soft skills desired by employers of today's graduates.

The Nordic Lodge is an iconic family-owned restaurant located in Charlestown, Rhode Island. The restaurant is equally owned by third-generation siblings Nancy Log, Lisa Brown, and Steve Persson. Steve’s wife, Lorna, also helps to manage the restaurant. It is established as a private corporation with both voting and nonvoting stock. The current generation is not ready to retire but recognizes the need to set up a succession plan. They realize that a good plan will take several years to put in place and want to ensure that the legacy of the restaurant continues. There are presently eight children in the fourth generation, all of whom have expressed an interest in being a part of the business. Having reached a crossroad in their development, the family is unsure how to proceed with succession planning. They are looking for advice on how to move forward to ensure that all children have the opportunity to work in the restaurant and that future decisions are equitable. The family would also like to determine how shares should be passed down .

As the use of videos for learning increases, the need to better use the viewing experience also increases. EDpuzzle is a video-sharing program that offers instructors a way to enhance the use of online videos for learning. It allows instructors to ensure that students have viewed the lesson in its entirety and determine whether they understood its content. The author has used EDpuzzle in undergraduate general business and entrepreneurship classes for homework assignments and has received positive feedback from students about it. Discussions with students have indicated that the use of EDpuzzle helped them focus more on the important aspects of the videos and that they were more confident of their learning after taking embedded quizzes. The qualities EDpuzzle offers are discussed here with particular emphasis on understanding how the application can be used to enhance the use of online videos along with its advantages and disadvantages.

Social science literature documents that gender socialization plays a critical role in the choices adults make throughout their lifetime. The focus of this study is on the unexplored aspect of gender socialization in relation to leadership of family business. The central questions guiding the research ask in what way gender socialization affected: a) the leadership roles available to children in the family business and b) how the children actually functioned in those roles. The results provide a descriptive framework of gender differences found in the socialization process resulting in a new paradigm for women in relation to their development as leaders in business.

ACADEMIC ABSTRACT Children who grow up in family businesses are exposed to specific stimuli which influence their entrepreneurial choices, their entrepreneurial leadership opportunities, and ultimate success as adults. A model is proposed which describes how cognitive maps develop in children and then serve as guides for their entrepreneurial behavior. We detail five skills learned over five stages of growth, and five steps of experiences to reinforce entrepreneurial and leadership potential. The model creates a framework for producing entrepreneurial leaders who may start businesses or use their skills togrow organizations, educational institutions, social service agencies, corporations, non profits, and governments.

Problem statement: Research on father-daughter succession in family businesses has only recently begun to get some traction. Still, examples of these situations often elude researchers. Futhermore, there has not been adequate attention paid to how children are raised in family businesses and how they learn to be entrepreneurial. Approach: This study outlines a father-daughter succession case in this unique American setting-the Appalachian Mountains of West Virginia. West Virginia offers an opportunity to examine family businesses embedded in the Appalachian culture-one where much of the popular and scholarly literature contend that deficiencies have contributed to, or reinforced, economic poverty and backwardness. These ideals are now being challenged and this case offers evidence of reversal. We also use the Bernelli 5+5+5 Model as a lens through which to examine the daughter's entrepreneurial growth in this case. Results: The Bernelli 5+5+5 Model allowed us to structure the daughter's experiences and better understand how she got to be such a successful successor. Conclusion/Recommendations: We recommend that the Bernelli 5+5+5 Model be used as a framework to view succession in family businesses. The Model also serves as a lens through which to view and better understand how children raised in family businesses become more successful entrepreneurs as adults.

The purpose of this study was to examine differences in attitudinal responses to sexual imagery in advertising by young adult Hispanics and non-Hispanics and establish whether any gender differences exist. A quantitative methodology was used. Results show that the lack of influence of the ethnicity variable suggests that respondents appear to overwhelm Hispanic cultural predispositions. Although males were more accepting of the sexual imagery, this did not translate as influence by the advertisements. Although undefined by this research, the reptilian ad appears to exceed some tolerance levels. As a result advertisers and marketing managers should be wary of utilizing strong sexual appeals.
