Entrepreneurial Learning

Abstract: This study focuses on how entrepreneurs and their new ventures learn, and how they are involved in dynamic learning. A theoretical as well as an empirical analysis of the issues provides insight. We distinguish key individual and organisational learning processes from the literature. Typologies of learning entrepreneurs and organisations are presented and applied in the empirical analysis. The typology of learning entrepreneurs is derived from Kolb (1984) and the typology of learning organisations is derived from Shrivastava (1983). The styles distinguished are the convergent, the divergent, the assimilative, and the accommodative learning style. Learning organisations are described in six types.
