Chapter Chapter 11 in The Experimental Nature of New Venture Creation, 2013, pp 107-125 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract In this chapter, the authors deal with the social constructivist entrepreneurial process-based training methodology approach at venture creation across different fields as experienced by trainers moderating the learning process with both social entrepreneurs and technology entrepreneurs in traditional (handicraft) and virtual technologies. The social constructivist approach-based methodology was first developed for implementation within the framework of a venture lab-type of ecosystem/environment at the University of Tartu, Centre for Entrepreneurship. The combination of the above methodology with the venture lab environment was called Entrepreneurship Home® and registered as the trademark of the University of Tartu. Following this, the Entrepreneurship Home® methodology was incorporated into mainstream entrepreneurship courses across study programs of the university, including adult training courses.
