Innovation, Entrepreneurship, and Sustainability for ICT Students Towards the Post-COVID-19 Era

Abstract

The purpose of the study reported on in this chapter was to develop a structural equation model (SEM) of the drivers of innovation for information and communication technology (ICT) students. Against a background of research on entrepreneurship and sustainability towards the post-COVID-19 era, factors had previously been identified, which promoted innovation among employees. A literature review, however, also revealed issues, controversies, problems, and challenges related to the effects of knowledge sharing behavior (KSB), self-regulated learning (SRL), and course design characteristics (CDCs) on developing innovative behavior (IB) among ICT students at universities. Solutions and recommendations are provided for managers involved at universities on leveraging attributes of KSB, SRL and CDCs to sustainably trigger innovation and entrepreneurship among ICT students towards the post-COVID-19 era. Future research directions are also considered. In conclusion, a discussion of the overall coverage of the chapter and concluding remarks are provided.
