Most of us know there is a payoff to looking good, and in the quest for beauty we spend countless hours and billions of dollars on personal grooming, cosmetics, and plastic surgery. The findings present thinking of SGSUs and their outlook to the future challenges and relative entrepreneurial support in context of institutional support. Originality/value ‐ The paper provides a unique insight into the needs of SGSUs and identifies the key issues that contribute to their early successes and some of the "known" and "unknown" reasons behind why they may not fulfil their ambitions. Practical implications ‐ The outcomes could have practical significance and managerial implications based on a greater understanding and awareness of the needs of SGSUs when allocating scarce resources in order to improve incubator performance, entrepreneurial support and new venture creation funding in HEIs. A better understanding of user expectations and motivations is needed in order to develop better services and support system within which SGSUs can develop.

#MACHACHA TEXAS SOFTWARE#
The results were analysed using the data analysis software package SPSS.
Design/methodology/approach ‐ Empirical evidence is presented from an online survey of 100 SGSUs from a sample of university incubators across the UK. The study aims to understand the behaviours and motivations of SGSUs to build on the existing literature and contribute towards a discussion around support services for university incubation centres. Purpose ‐ The purpose of this paper is to explore, evaluate and share the motivations and behaviours of student and graduate entrepreneurs (referred to as SGSUs) operating from university incubators. In conclusion, this study showed that social connections facilitated by relatives and close friends through people of influence in society were more effective but, to a large extent, they depend on one’s social status. The results also revealed that social connections through relatives and close friends were more effective in their employability than social connections through acquaintances and potential employers. However, only powerful social connections were effective in this process and were not available to everyone. The results from this study indicated that UNZA Graduates attach a lot of importance to the use of social connections in search of job opportunities in the labour market. Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) was used in the management and analysis of quantitative data while thematic analysis was applied in the analysis of qualitative data. Data were collected using a questionnaire and interviews. 208 University of Zambia Graduates and 16 employers participated in this study.
The study was carried out in the City of Lusaka. This research used a sequential mixed method research design to investigate the research problem. Employability was operationalised as the ability to get employed or get a job. In this study social capital was operationalised as social connections that can be used in search of jobs. The study focused on the period between the years 20. The conference in Africa and a new name more inclusive of sports by all Africans regardless their geographical location are the symbols of the 11th conference.The research presented in this paper was designed to investigate the role of social capital in the employability of University Graduates in Zambia: A Case of University of Zambia Graduates.
This conference will be hosted for the first time in Africa under a new name “Sports Africa”. The theme for this year’s conference is “ Sporting Subalternities and Social Justice”.
