Abstract

Scholars who have studied entrepreneurship education have lent distinct value by demonstrating how it nurtures student entrepreneurial attitudes.  Although this has encouraged the development of enterprise through conventional modes of delivery, the issues of method acceptance and staff autonomy in facilitating such teaching approaches still remain understudied. With this in mind, the aim of this paper is to integrate from a practical and theoretical perspective, novel enterprise education practices. Through our findings, we propose a framework where three key learning elements: content, delivery, and support are intertwined and driven by the delivery approach. In this sense, we point that this framework could be adopted by business schools to nurture new entrepreneurs and develop future research.
