The items were based on the Entrepreneurial Mindset Curriculum (EMC) Framework 2020, published by the State Council of Educational Research & Training (SCERT) Institute, Delhi. The EMC framework recommended three pedagogical practices a) Experiential, b) Inspirational, and c) Reflectional. The tool initially has 110 items in two subscales: - Teachers’ understanding of curriculum & Pedagogical practices followed by teachers. The first subscale measured teachers’ understanding of the EMC curriculum whereas the second subscale was developed to measure the frequency of pedagogical practices recommended in the EMC framework. The second subscale is further divided into three domains: student engagement and learning; classroom environment, and evaluation.

The study makes use of various statistical techniques including t-tests and ANOVA and correlation and regression to uncover performance dynamics affecting franchises and determine substantial satisfaction differences between different support services. The performance and happiness levels of franchisees heavily depend on operation coaching and financial advice as well as sustainability practices. Finding from the study emphasize that franchisors must customize their supportive offerings to franchisee requirements for both entities to receive mutual value. By adopting this Synaptic Franchise Concept model franchisors can include all their services under one umbrella to enhance the quality performance of the franchise system. Both franchisors and franchisees will benefit from adapting to changing customer tastes. The research originates foundations for future academic explorations concerning franchise implementation success along with demonstrating the importance of committed franchise support which leads to profitable results.

Grounded in experiential learning theory, it examines how setbacks reshape entrepreneurs’ perspectives, providing valuable lessons that prepare them to seize future opportunities. While setbacks may diminish risk-taking in some cases, they often serve as a foundation for growth and revitalization, enabling entrepreneurs to bounce back stronger. The research investigates four key hypotheses, focusing on the relationships between entrepreneurial setbacks, emergent learning, entrepreneurial alertness, and firm resilience. Data was collected from 244 serial entrepreneurs who had previously faced challenges like business closures, mergers, or significant losses. Using Structural Equation Modelling (SEM), the study rigorously analysed the data to test its reliability and uncover meaningful patterns. The findings demonstrate that setbacks have a significant and direct impact on firm resilience, contributing positively to the development of entrepreneurial alertness and emergent learning.

Entrepreneurship serves as a cornerstone for unlocking groundbreaking circular business opportunities. Research on circular entrepreneurship is still in its early stages and consequently displays a certain level of fragmentation. This study aims to elevate the role of entrepreneurship in the discourse surrounding CE through a comprehensive literature review. The present research utilized the “Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA)” framework to identify relevant articles from the SCOPUS database. Furthermore, it conducts a “bibliometric analysis and systematic literature review” to explore the intersection between the CE and entrepreneurship research. Performance analysis reveals trends in academic publications, leading journals, significant contributions, authors, and countries, while science mapping combines co-words and thematic assessments. Similarly, cooccurrence analysis produced various clusters that illustrated the links between CE research and entrepreneurship, management, and innovation areas, along with key insights obtained from co-authorship network analysis.
