Entrepreneurship Education: Known Worlds and New Frontiers

Heidi M. Neck and Patricia G. Greene

Journal of Small Business Management, 2011, vol. 49, issue 1, 55-70

Abstract: We explore three “worlds” that entrepreneurship educators generally teach in and introduce a new frontier where we discuss teaching entrepreneurship as a method. The method is a way of thinking and acting, built on a set of assumptions using a portfolio of techniques to create. It goes beyond understanding, knowing, and talking and requires using, applying, and acting. At the core of the method is the ability for students to practice entrepreneurship and we introduce a portfolio of practice‐based pedagogies. These include starting businesses as coursework, serious games and simulations, design‐based thinking, and reflective practice.
