Book Description
Teaching Entrepreneurship advocates teaching entrepreneurship using a portfolio of practices, including play, empathy, creation, experimentation, and reflection. Together these practices help students develop the competency to think and act entrepreneurially in order to create, find, and exploit opportunities of all kinds in a continuously changing and uncertain world. Offering a set of 42 exercises with detailed teaching notes, this book is written for those educators who want their students to develop a bias for action and who are willing to explore new approaches in their own classrooms. 'Of course, entrepreneurship can be taught, and this books shows how. Using scholarly research as the foundation, the authors have crafted a set of practices to foster entrepreneurial thinking that should be incorporated in all courses across the entire curriculum.' - Tina Seelig, Stanford University, US 'Practice makes perfect and Babson professors Neck, Greene and Brush lead the way for global management education's thirst for excellence in entrepreneurship education. Teaching Entrepreneurship is an excellent read and detailed guide for creating a strong program that inspires innovation and entrepreneurial strategies for business academics and practitioners.' - John Fernandes, President and Chief Executive Officer, AACSB International 'Teaching Entrepreneurship further validates how thoroughly Heidi, Patricia, and Candida understand the future of this incredibly vital field. The idea that aspiring entrepreneurs and their professors should be instructed in a method that increases their emotional intelligence and their business acumen is extraordinary. This is the book that the faculty at Paul Quinn College and I have been waiting for. That applause you hear in the background is our current and future students and the lives they will change through this version of entrepreneurship.' - Michael J. Sorrell, President, Paul Quinn College, Dallas, US 'Teaching entrepreneurship is really a challenge to educators around the world. Although much has been written about this topic, we are still searching for new methods and practical tools. This book is an important contribution to this issue, and I am sure that it will help educators to improve their classes and to engage their students.' - Tales Andreassi, FGV-EAESP, S o Paulo, Brazil 'The arguments presented in this book will undoubtedly contribute significantly to increasing the legitimacy of entrepreneurship education as a practice-based method. This is partly due to the renowned reputations of the three authors, but more so because the contents speak so clearly to various forms of experiential education common within our field of practice. The care taken to assemble these arguments should be matched by the reader's deep consideration of how these splendid ideas can be applied by every individual entrepreneurship educator. Every dedicated educator will benefit from this book.' - Colin Jones, University of Tasmania, Australia

Entrepreneurship in Primary Schools
Author: Mario Murgic
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781798205853
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 100
Book Description
In today's world there is a real need to incorporate entrepreneurship education in primary schools. Entrepreneurs today help solve problems of unemployment, youth unemployment, economic stagnation, and many other socio-economic problems. But for a country to have more entrepreneurs and more available jobs it is necessary that those people receive an adequate education. And it is much easier and frankly much smarter to do it early so that knowledge can be built on and intensified. Offering entrepreneurship classes after school to those who finished high school and want to start a business should be the last step and not the only step in the education of entrepreneurs. For people to be ready to become entrepreneurs they need to develop a set of skills and the right mindset. And that cannot be achieved in a hurry, it needs to be worked on methodically from a young age. Perfect time to start that educational cycle is in the primary schools so that their creativity and optimism can be used to maximise the effects. There has been a number of initiatives around the world to incorporate more entrepreneurship education into the educational system however the focus of such initiatives is mostly on secondary education. The topic of the introduction of entrepreneurship education into primary schools is still being ignored. The main reason for that is the fact that the current educational system is outdated and relies on traditional teaching methods that haven't changed much in decades. Yet the world has changed. The world needs people who will think outside the box now more than ever and it is a shame that educational systems around the world kill creativity and limit the potential of millions of children around the world every single year. Those who are children today, one day they will lead the world forward. They will lead countries, open businesses and educate others. If we equip them with useful real-life knowledge we can help them achieve much more in the future. The book contains an overview of successful examples of entrepreneurship education in primary schools around the world. It analyses the benefits and goals of such education and discusses how to shift from a traditional learning style to project-based learning that is much more suitable for entrepreneurship education.

The Unicorn's Shadow
Author: Ethan Mollick
Publisher: University of Pennsylvania Press
ISBN: 1613630972
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 117
Book Description
Bringing hard data to the way we think about entrepreneurial success, this bold call to action draws on the latest scientific evidence to dispel the most pervasive startup myths and light a path to entrepreneurship for those eclipsed by the hype. When you think of a successful entrepreneur, who comes to mind? Bill Gates? Mark Zuckerberg? Or maybe even Jesse Eisenberg, the man who played Zuckerberg in The Social Network? It may surprise you that most successful founders look very different from Zuckerberg or Gates. In fact, most startup origin stories are very different from the famous "unicorns" that have achieved valuations of over $1 billion, from Facebook to Google to Uber. In The Unicorn's Shadow: Combating the Dangerous Myths that Hold Back Startups, Founders, and Investors, Wharton School professor Ethan Mollick takes us to the forefront of an empirical revolution in entrepreneurship. New data and better research methods have overturned the conventional wisdom behind what a successful founder looks like, how they succeed, and how the startup ecosystem works. Among the issues he examines: Which founders are most likely to succeed?Where do the best startup ideas come from?What's the most foolproof way of securing the funding needed to take a company to the next level?Should your sales pitch really be something out of Hollywood?What's the best way to grow and scale your company and create a thriving culture that won't hinder expansion? Mollick argues that entrepreneurship is too important, both for society and for the individuals who start companies, to be eclipsed by the shadows of unicorns. He shows we can democratize entrepreneurship—but only by following an evidence-based approach that puts to rest the false narratives that surround it.

How to Teach Entrepreneurship
Author: Colin Jones
Publisher: Edward Elgar Publishing
ISBN: 1788116410
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 227
Book Description
In developing the first signature pedagogy for entrepreneurship education, Colin Jones unites the contexts of enterprise and education at the intersection of scholarship, transformational learning and student engagement. Good teaching for entrepreneurship is shown to emerge both from the educator and the students’ interest. For the educator, a process of scholarly leading is required to support student interest – from the alternate perspective, students require a willingness to welcome uncertainty and challenge the existing boundaries to effectively develop a capacity for self-negotiated action.
