Entrepreneurship Education. Programs and Impacts on Business Performance

      Аннотация: Entrepreneurship plays a key role in the social and economic development of nations and, as a topic, it has acquired a lot of attention from academicians and researchers. However, despite the fair documentation of the importance of entrepreneurship education in spurring new venture creation, studies on its evaluation are inadequate. This inadequacy is precisely what the research in this book addresses. To that end, the study explores how entrepreneurial education affects students’ attitudes and motivations towards entrepreneurship and their desire to start their own companies. It explores, too, the key attributes of entrepreneurs and the effect which that education has on their entrepreneurial intentions and business performance. The study also examines the impact of entrepreneurship education on capital assets, annual turnover, customers, and employees. A case for the need to design entrepreneurial support programs specifically targeted at students is also made.
