Experiential Activities: A Tool to Increase Entrepreneurial Skills

Abstract

This chapter addresses the experiential activities in the classroom as an effective tool to increase the students’ entrepreneurial skills and the importance to integrate hands-on activities into the program design and course content. We found there are several courses not related to the business planning area that encourage innovation skills. The research showed to what extent hands-on activities influence the intention to start a new business among undergraduate students. Through our research, we noticed that experiential activities, plus the participation of students in extracurricular activities, nourish their entrepreneurial spirit.
