Publisher's Synopsis
This Book focuses on entrepreneurship education within an international context and comprises 13 articles which, individually and collectively, offer a critical as well as empirically rigorous perspective on diverse aspects associated with enterprise and entrepreneurship education. The eBook is convergent in nature and seeks to make a significant contribution to the development of conceptual, contextual and practical aspects of a fast moving topic of applied research. Authors focus on themes that reflect innovative developments in enterprise and entrepreneurship education, both in national and international contexts. Many of the papers are international in origin, reflecting a growing stakeholder awareness of the socio-economic and political value of enterprise and entrepreneurship education. This applies not only to industrially developed and developing countries, but also to many of the nations in transition. While entrepreneurship is considered a mature and well established topic of research, entrepreneurship education is still perceived, by many researchers and educators, as an emergent subtopic in need of a reputable publishing outlet. This eBook will be of interest to enterprise educators as well as practitioners and policy makers worldwide.
