Is it the time to reshape entrepreneurship education? State-of-the-art and further perspectives

Abstract

In recent years, entrepreneurship education has attracted increasing interest among scholars, but current literature reviews often focus on specific micro or macro factors, neglecting an integrated perspective. This paper provides a comprehensive systematic literature review and bibliometric analysis of Entrepreneurship Education (EE), aiming to consolidate existing knowledge while identifying emerging trends. To address this gap, using advanced bibliometric tools, we were able to uncover key themes such as the role of human, cultural, and social capital, educational models, and the evolving function of universities in fostering entrepreneurship. Findings suggest a shift towards multidisciplinary approaches, integrating fields like psychology, ethics, and neuroscience, to enrich EE frameworks. By highlighting both established and emerging topics, this review offers actionable insights for reshaping EE to better equip future leaders with the competencies and resilience needed in an entrepreneurial society.
