    This research details the entrepreneurial attitude of university students. The study aims to identify the factors influencing the entrepreneurial attitude of students in the Faculty of Administrative Sciences, as well as the importance of business education programs in fostering creativity, critical thinking, and entrepreneurship from early stages of academic training. To achieve this, the research explores students’ intention and motivation towards innovation, risk-taking, and entrepreneurial initiative. The study population consisted of students majoring in Business Administration and Marketing. Dimensions related to risk perception, creativity, motivation, and entrepreneurial intention were assessed. Findings indicate a notable predisposition towards entrepreneurship among university students, highlighting a high propensity for taking calculated risks and a proactive mindset towards problem-solving. Similarly, the influence of educational components was identified. These findings lead to the conclusion that there are significant implications for designing curricula and educational policies aimed at cultivating an entrepreneurial culture in the university environment, thereby promoting the intention to undertake entrepreneurial ventures, enhancing students’ ability to face challenges in the business world, and fostering innovation in the future.

    In response to the constant changes caused by globalization, the business sector has considered it very important that the training presented by accountants not only focus on technical skills, but also, generic, or soft skills are developed, which allow accounting professionals to face the challenges posed by competitiveness. The purpose of the study is to carry out an analysis of the perception that students show about the skills and knowledge that the professional accountant needs. A questionnaire with the different skills and knowledge that an accountant must possess was applied to the seventh and eighth semester students. Likewise, for the treatment of the data, a factorial analysis was applied. The data obtained show that the students of the Accounting Career consider that for their good performance they require training in both knowledge and practical skills. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2024.
