A Competency-Based Perspective on Entrepreneurship Education: Conceptual and Empirical Insights
基于结构化理论,将创业能力视为个体与环境互动中学习脚本的产物,通过德尔菲法识别出13项核心创业能力,并在国际教育项目中验证了教育对能力提升的显著效果。
Competencies necessary for entrepreneurial action are investigated. Building on structuration theory, competencies are approached as an outgrowth of the learning of scripts deriving from interactions between the individual and environment. Managerial and entrepreneurial competencies are distinguished, with the latter helping to define the domain of entrepreneurship education. Employing a elphi methodology, evidence is provided of a core set of 13 entrepreneurial competencies. Measures are then developed with a pilot study involving students in an international education program. Based on pre‐ and post‐measures, findings demonstrate significant improvement on the competencies. Implications are drawn for the role of entrepreneurship education in competency development.
