Contemporary sustainability concerns argue that the nature and role of traditional management skills in enterprise require reappraisal. One response to such reappraisal is to support investigation of the nature, role and impact of regenerative management skills (RMS) in contemporary enterprise. Central to such investigation is embeddedness of RMS and enterprise pedagogy in place.
Reporting on the pedagogic practices of two lecturers at a new Irish regional university, the study investigates: How does teaching of place develop RMS for future enterprise managers? Informed theoretically by the theory of pedagogic practices, a conceptual framework is developed from an illustrative case study. Six place-based pedagogic practices are shown to support the development of regenerative management skills, with lecturers required to embrace change, challenges and levels of decentring. Emotional intelligence of lecturers and capacity in boundary spanning are supportive of regenerative management skills development.
The study contributes to an emerging literature on regenerative management skill development, through the lens of place-based teaching, and has implications for educators contemplating such development. Given the regional context of the university, a policy contribution informs how regenerative management can be developed in context.

This field study is among the first empirical investigations into the integration of an artificial intelligence (AI) enhanced video course in management and international business (IB) education. Moving beyond conceptual discussions, it evaluates the use and perceived usefulness of an AI-enhanced video course in a real classroom setting. Findings highlight that such AI tools support personalized learning, increase student engagement, and offer particular benefits for culturally diverse learners by reducing communication barriers and accommodating different educational backgrounds. While exploratory in scope, the study offers practical insights for educators seeking to implement AI in an inclusive and effective manner. Limitations include reliance on self-reported perceptions and a focus solely on student experiences. Future research should examine the impact of AI on learning outcomes and explore the reasons for using AI tools further, for example by investigating emotional and affective components.

Students are expected to display effective problem-solving skills to resolve challenges in the workplace successfully. This study analyses students’ problem-solving skills using the OECD PISA problem-solving framework and the extent to which they display four problem-solving processes: (1) exploring and understanding (EU), (2) representing and formulating (RF), (3) planning and executing (PE), and (4) monitoring and reflecting (MR). 188 problem-solving written assignments with 8080 paragraphs were analysed using natural paragraph analysis across the four processes encompassing 21 core tasks. Students generally show strong EU and RF processes and tasks but could improve some RF and MR processes. This means that students are generally successful at information processing, building representations, formulation and modelling, and use of tools to solve problems. They showed difficulty in organising and revising solutions, finding the rationale behind the problem, seeking alternative solutions and critically evaluating given information and assumptions. The paper concludes with practical implications for teaching in higher education.

This study examines the impact of a long-term gamified assessment model on academic performance and student engagement in a university-level finance course. Implemented via the Socrative platform, the intervention was designed as a simulated financial office with progression-based challenges, digital rewards, and role-based incentives. A quasi-experimental design was used to compare an experimental group exposed to gamification with a control group receiving traditional instruction. The results indicate that gamification significantly improved class attendance, commitment to the course, and success in continuous assessment, although no significant differences were found in final grades. Moreover, the effect sizes observed in this study are notably larger compared to prior studies. This suggests that the gamification intervention had a more substantial positive impact, particularly on continuous assessment and attendance, than typically reported in the gamification literature. These findings contribute to current debates in management education by offering empirical support for the integration of technology-enhanced learning and formative assessment strategies into technical and quantitatively oriented subjects.

Generation Z growing up in the digital and disruptive era requires entrepreneurship education that not only delivers knowledge but also forms adaptive capabilities to face the complex business world. Uncertain market dynamics require students to be not only conceptually prepared but also psychosocially resilient. Based on these needs, this study analyzes the effect of entrepreneurship education on the entrepreneurial readiness of Generation Z students by placing relational agility and result agility as mediators. The conceptual framework was developed through the integration of Social Cognitive Theory (SCT), the Job Demands–Resources (JD-R) model, and social capital theory. Data were obtained from 687 Generation Z students through an online survey and analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The results show that entrepreneurship education has a significant effect on entrepreneurial readiness, both directly and indirectly through relational agility and result agility. These two mediating variables are proven to be important personal resources that enhance students' strategic capabilities in managing social relations and facing challenge-based outcomes. These findings underscore the need for transformation of entrepreneurship curriculum towards experiential and collaborative, emphasizing agility as a core competency. Theoretically, this study extends the literature through cross-theory integration and the mediating role of agility. Practically, these results are useful for higher education institutions and curriculum designers in preparing Generation Z to face the dynamic and uncertain entrepreneurship ecosystem.

This study aims to examine the relationships among Work-Integrated Learning (WIL) in Hospitality, Green Mindset, and Sustainable Hospitality Competencies among Generation Z hospitality management students in Thailand. Drawing upon relevant theories and empirical literature, the conceptual framework was developed to investigate both direct and indirect effects of WIL in Hospitality towards students' Sustainable Hospitality Competencies, mediated by Green Mindset. Data were collected from 409 hospitality students through a structured questionnaire. They all had participated in WIL programs. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was employed to analyze the data. The findings revealed that WIL in Hospitality had significant positive effects on both Green Mindset and Sustainable Hospitality Competencies. Additionally, Green Mindset demonstrated a significant mediating role in the relationship between WIL Hospitality Internships and Sustainable Hospitality Competencies, indicating its critical function as a psychological pathway that enhances students' competency development toward sustainable hospitality practices. These findings extend the theoretical understanding of WIL and Green Mindset integration, and offer practical implications for educational institutes in hospitality and industry practitioners to design WIL programs and learning experiences for future hospitality professionals in enhancing their professional skills and sustainability-oriented mindsets.

This study examines the entrepreneurial intentions of undergraduate students and investigates the key factors in the entrepreneurship education portfolio that influence their willingness to engage in entrepreneurial activities. The analysis is based on a theoretical model known as the knowledge–attitude–behaviour model. In addition, this study incorporates Hofstede's culture dimensions theory to examine how undergraduates from diverse cultural backgrounds understand entrepreneurship, with culture acting as a moderator. Data were collected via a structured questionnaire administered to 692 undergraduate students from top universities in China and Japan. The data were analysed via partial least squares structural equation modelling with SmartPLS 4.0, including confirmatory factor analysis, bootstrap analysis, and multi-group analysis. The findings show that both teaching and practical experience significantly influence students' entrepreneurial perception, which in turn strongly predicts EIs. Multi-group analysis confirms that cultural background moderates the relationship between entrepreneurial perception and EIs: the effect is stronger among Chinese students than among Japanese students. However, no significant cultural differences in the influence of teaching, practice, or competition on perception were found. These results support the KAB model and highlight the importance of culturally contextualized entrepreneurship education.

To address a gap in research in non-Western context, this study examines the antecedents and consequences of academic engagement among undergraduate business students in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Building on the Job Demands-Resources (JD-R) and Study Demands-Resources (SD-R) models, the study explores how instructor support, peer support, and study characteristics influence study engagement, and how study engagement subsequently affects psychological well-being, perceived employability, and academic dishonesty. Using an online questionnaire with validated scales, data were collected from 256 undergraduate business students in two major UAE universities. Descriptive statistics, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), and structural equation modeling (SEM) were used to analyze the data and test the proposed hypotheses. The findings reveal that instructor support and study characteristics significantly enhance study engagement, which in turn positively impacts psychological well-being and perceived employability, while reducing dishonest academic behaviors. Contrary to prediction, peer support did not impact study engagement. Importantly, the results also demonstrate that study engagement mediates the effects of instructor support and study characteristics on the three outcome variables under investigation. These findings highlight the role of supportive academic environments and engaging coursework in enhancing student success. This study contributes to the limited research on business student engagement in non-Western contexts and offers practical implications for enhancing student outcomes in higher education, particularly in business programs.

With the increasing emphasis on enhancing students' future employability, the integration of accounting and financial knowledge has become a critical objective in tourism and hospitality education. In this study, we examine how accounting and financial knowledge foster students’ ability to engage in idea planning, a cognitive process that involves generating, organizing, and refining innovative concepts for academic or professional problem solving, using a sample of 555 tourism and hospitality majors. The findings reveal that “grit” serves as a fundamental trait that indirectly influences idea planning through goal-oriented monitoring and social behaviour within peer interactions. Additionally, emotional regulation, test processing, and metacognitive strategies play significant moderating roles in the development of students' idea planning capabilities. Alternative models and practical implications are discussed to offer deeper insights for educational enhancement.

The aim of the paper is to assess the potential of using digital business simulation games as an innovative educational method in business higher education in the context of armed conflict. Education in emergency, as a new subfield related to education in unstable contexts such as natural disasters, civil and armed conflicts, is gaining increasing research interest worldwide. Armed conflicts pose a challenge to the entire education system; however, little is known about the situation of higher education in this context, especially how to sustain the education process to face the challenges. Our paper is based on qualitative research conducted in 2024 among students from two universities in Ukraine operating under the ongoing armed conflict. Based on the observation of an online business simulation game and in-depth interviews with participating students, we explore students' learning experiences with a business simulation game, considering their educational, social, emotional, and safety needs within the context of armed conflict. By focusing on a setting rarely explored in previous research, we demonstrate the potential of the business simulation game as a teaching method to sustain the quality and continuity of business higher education under conditions of conflict and disruption.
