Four Educational Principles to Rethink Ethically Entrepreneurship Education

Abstract

While most entrepreneurship education stakeholders still assume the position that the main aim of entrepreneurship courses at the university and business schools levels would be to produce entrepreneurs, we advocate in this article that entrepreneurship education is much more. Entrepreneurship education can be seen as a powerful lever to help students in learning how to create new economic and social wealth in a complex and dynamic world, how to think and act entrepreneurially in a range of situations and contexts, how to see entrepreneurship mainly as a method and not as a end by itself. In order to better address these issues, we argue that entrepreneurship education should be conceptualized and designed based on four educational principles: learning to understand the interplay of multiple social interactions, learning to navigate in a complex and dynamic environment, learning how to build and permanently revise knowledge and strategies and learning how to turn ideas into action.
