Prerequisites and the Success of Transformative Entrepreneurship Education

Abstract

AbstractWith entrepreneurship education receiving growing attention in research and practice the question arises what exactly entrepreneurship education’s impact is and should be. There is a lack of discussion on what (different kinds of) entrepreneurship education should aim to achieve, and how entrepreneurship education’s success can be captured. In this chapter, we raise the question: What is relevant for generating which kind of entrepreneurial activity? We call for a stronger competence orientation, underline the importance of an entrepreneurship education ecosystem, and carve out the need for future research in these fields.
