Entrepreneurship Education and Internationalisation: Cases, Collaborations and Contexts

Entrepreneurship Education and Internationalisation: Cases, Collaborations and Contexts provides a wide-ranging overview of entrepreneurship education today from a global perspective. Comprising three parts that address teaching and learning, support and outcomes, and strategic themes, international educators and researchers present examples of entrepreneurship education in action within many contexts. Chapters discuss across many academic fields and taught disciplines, involving many industry stakeholders concerning enterprise and business creation and development, and acknowledge policy and policymakers within local, national, and international government or educational forums.

Chapters showcased within this edited book range from collaborative teaching case studies, course teaching styles and assessment strategies, and display links with national or international industry partners. Furthermore, incubation opportunities, examples of accelerator and university start-ups or spinouts, cross-continent partnerships for entrepreneurship, and other relevant enterprising activity between universities and industry or societal groups are also examined and appreciated.
