The configuration approach to entrepreneurship education: The case of an entrepreneurship course in a management program

Abstract

Following the configuration approach (involving the individual personality orientation, course content, education process, and the environment), an entrepreneurship course was designed and implemented for management students in collaboration with an international NGO, where the focus was on innovative pedagogies such as "my story" sessions, case studies, site visits to enterprises, campus ventures, action-learning projects, ideation laboratories, and business simulation. The post-program assessment showed that the students were good at acquiring knowledge but required hand-holding for the creation of ventures.
