Entrepreneurial-related Programmes and Students’ Intentions to Venture into New Business Creation
Entrepreneurial education has received a fair amount of attention locally and internationally.

We examined the relationship between the entrepreneurial content of the curriculum (ENTCC), attitude towards entre…
To blend or not to blend? Consumer attitudes towards mandatory use of ethanol-blended fuel in Zimbabwe
Worldwide, the use of bioethanol is proliferating as an alternative to fossil fuels. Consistent with this trend, the Zimbabwean government mandated the blending of unleaded petrol with 10% ethanol. As the use of ethanol-blended fuel is still at the infancy stage in Zimbabwe, the objective of this study was to explore consumer attitudes towards mandatory use of ethanolblended petrol. The study employed a qualitative research design, and data were …
The green dilemma
Green consumerism has garnered much scholarly interest in recent years. However, research on the influence of the Social Dilemma Theory (SDT) on green purchase behaviour has been scarce. Using data generated from sixteen in-depth-interviews, the present study identified perceived efficacy, perceived cost, in-group and self-identity, trust and peer influence as the main antecedents of SDT that influence green purchase behaviour. The findings of th…
