Insatiable demand or academic supply: the intellectual context of entrepreneurship education
journal contribution
posted on 2023-07-26, 12:42 authored by Andy Adcroft, Spinder Dhaliwal, Robert WillisPurpose: To consider whether the growth in management and entrepreneurship education is driven by (external) demand or (internal) academic supply.
Design/methodology/approach: Three key elements of the intellectual context of management and entrepreneurship education are considered: the apparent causal relationship between improved management and economic performance; the privilege afforded to management as an agent of change in the context of globalisation; reforms in the public sector which define problems in terms of management rather than resources.
Findings: There is a lack of clarity as to whether the purpose of entrepreneurship education is about promoting higher levels of activity or better recognising entrepreneurial activity.
Originality/value: The paper offers an alternative perspective on entrepreneurship education through an examination of its purpose rather than its form and content.
