    Creativity Vs Grit: key competences to understand entrepreneurial intention
    (Elsevier, 2025-07) Martínez-Martínez, Sofía Louise; Ventura, Rafael; Santos Jaén, José Manuel; Economía Financiera y Contabilidad
    Universities are assuming an increasingly active and key role in promoting entrepreneurship and qualified entrepreneurial human capital. From the lens of the Entrepreneurial University, the institution integrates an entrepreneurial mindset into the management and commits to Entrepreneurial Education (EE) to foster potential entrepreneurship. Studying this reality from a competency-based approach is particularly interesting and useful from an applied angle. Entrepreneurial competences are understood to be highly relevant for entrepreneurship. However, the research has been more oriented to study their effect on entrepreneurial activity and success, lacking studies that analyze their impact on the first stage, the formation of entrepreneurial intentions (EI). This research is novel extending the broadly validated Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) by integrating specific entrepreneurial competences as antecedents of EI. With a sample of 732 university students, this research presents a SEM model that permits to jointly analyze the effect of six different entrepreneurial competences (creativity, opportunity recognition, networking, resilience, consistency of interest, and perseverance of effort) on EI, considering the three TPB dimensions: personal attitude, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control. The results show that not all competences are significant for EI and their influence differs markedly. Creativity proves to be a key competence for the potential entrepreneurship stage while the two competences that comprise the psychological Grit concept have no influence on EI. The findings are linked to pedagogical recommendations, presenting valuable insights for EE. Entrepreneurial training based on competences must be designed more consciously, targeting particular competences and considering the specific phase of the entrepreneurial process.

    Crítica y producción artística en el capitalismo académico: de la crisis del modelo empresarial de universidad al giro educativo en las pedagogías del arte.
    (Universidad Complutense de Madrid, 2019) Guirao Mirón, Cristina; Mira Pastor, Enric; Sociología
    El concepto de educación ha sido objeto del arte social y político desde la década de los 60 y 70 del siglo XX, sin embargo los planteamientos artísticos de carácter crítico sobre la educación superior universitaria han sido puntuales y poco conocidos. Partiendo del diagnóstico de una “universidad en ruinas” en el contexto de un “capitalismo académico”, el presente artículo propone, en primer lugar, el análisis de las producciones artísticas de Ian Wallace y Antoni Muntadas donde se ha desarrollado específicamente una crítica de la universidad como institución académica y educativa. Ambos planteamientos reflexionan sobre la aparición de la universidad empresarial a partir de la crisis del paradigma humboldtiano de universidad y del fracaso del ideal ilustrado de emancipación de la humanidad a través del progreso científico. A continuación se analiza cómo, desde una serie de prácticas artísticas contemporáneas, algunas de ellas surgidas en torno al llamado “giro educativo” del arte, se aborda una revisión de las pedagogías artísticas apuntalando una posible vía para la transformación del modelo empresarial universitario.
