Chapter Chapter 11 in Technology-Based Nascent Entrepreneurship, 2017, pp 257-278 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Entrepreneurial education and extracurricular programmes have been introduced into universities to respond to student demand for such skills along with the increased recognition of the importance of entrepreneurship as a contributor to economic development. This chapter covers firstly student entrepreneurship as a component of university start-ups (highlighting the role that students play in faculty-led start-ups and entrepreneurship as an alternative to employment); secondly, the type of support provided by universities for start-ups through curriculum-based and extracurricular programmes; thirdly, nascent student technology start-ups (both faculty-led and through entrepreneurial programmes). The implications for entrepreneurship educators, programme organisers and course developers, and business school deans, along with recommendations for future research, are examined and discussed.
