Summary: | Entrepreneurship is of fundamental
importance as a catalyst for innovation, job creation, and
economic well-being. Policymakers have a strong interest in
promoting entrepreneurship given that its development is
necessary for fighting poverty and unemployment. This paper
is an initial contribution to help fill gap, performing a
systematic review of Entrepreneurship Education and Training
(EET) programs worldwide and developing a conceptual
framework that is applied to systematically analyze EET
programs. The objective of this framework paper is to
identify the dimensions of EET programs that matter for
realizing the spectrum of EET-related outcomes. To meet that
objective, the paper presents a conceptual framework and
applies it to systematically analyze effective EET programs.
The aim is to find common practices and trends across
effective programs and draw from them practical insights of
value to future EET program design and implementation. This
framework paper is organized into four parts: part one
summarizes major findings and trends from a review of EET
research and provides definitions to distinguish between
Entrepreneurship Education (EE) and Entrepreneurship
Training (ET). Part two outlines the conceptual framework
that emerged from the review of EET research. Part three
analyzes the global landscape of EET programs by target
group and provides findings from that analysis. Part four
summarizes the study's findings, presents a roadmap for
investment and policy decisions related to EET, and proposes
areas for further research. |
