A Framework for Developing and Assessing the Global Entrepreneurial Mindset

A Framework for Developing and Assessing the Global Entrepreneurial Mindset Entrepreneurship education has traditionally focused on preparing students for venture creation, although in recent years the focus on entrepreneurial mindset development has gained traction with academics and practitioners. This emerging approach recognizes the value in developing entrepreneurial thinkers and actors to promote economic growth and well‐being after graduation (Ilonen and Heinonen 2018; Kuratko 2005; Nabi et al. 2017; Rae, Martin, Antcliff, and Hannon 2012). Lehigh University pioneered this approach in 2010 with the founding of the Baker Institute for Entrepreneurship, Creativity & Innovation. Today, Lehigh@NasdaqCenter views entrepreneurship education as the development of mindsets, skills, and agency that help all individuals maximize their entrepreneurial potential, from starting a new venture, innovating within an existing organization, to becoming an artist or activist, and everything in between. The good news—we are not alone in this perspective. Gedeon (2014) defined entrepreneurship education as “personal growth and transformation that provides students with knowledge, skills, and attitudinal learning outcomes. This empowers students with a philosophy of entrepreneurial thinking, passion, and action‐orientation that they can apply to their lives, their jobs, their communities, and/or their own new ventures” (p. 238).

Abstract

Entrepreneurship education has traditionally focused on preparing students for venture creation, although in recent years the focus on entrepreneurial mindset development has gained traction with academics and practitioners. This emerging approach recognizes the value in developing entrepreneurial thinkers and actors to promote economic growth and well‐being after graduation (Ilonen and Heinonen 2018; Kuratko 2005; Nabi et al. 2017; Rae, Martin, Antcliff, and Hannon 2012). Lehigh University pioneered this approach in 2010 with the founding of the Baker Institute for Entrepreneurship, Creativity & Innovation. Today, Lehigh@NasdaqCenter views entrepreneurship education as the development of mindsets, skills, and agency that help all individuals maximize their entrepreneurial potential, from starting a new venture, innovating within an existing organization, to becoming an artist or activist, and everything in between. The good news—we are not alone in this perspective. Gedeon (2014) defined entrepreneurship education as “personal growth and transformation that provides students with knowledge, skills, and attitudinal learning outcomes. This empowers students with a philosophy of entrepreneurial thinking, passion, and action‐orientation that they can apply to their lives, their jobs, their communities, and/or their own new ventures” (p. 238).
