Entrepreneurship Education and Competency Development: A Bibliometric Review

Abstract

Entrepreneurship education is known for its long-term benefits regarding graduate start-up quality (Galloway and Brown, 2002). The primary way that millions of people reach the mainstream of the economy is through entrepreneurial enterprises. It makes entrepreneurship education more than just starting a firm. Entrepreneurs have a unique perspective because they search for opportunities, take risks beyond what is safe, and persist in seeing an idea through to completion. Individuals can grow to have an "entrepreneurial perspective." And the way business is done at all levels and across all nations has been changed by this viewpoint. Since the Industrial Revolution, the younger generation of the twenty-first century is growing to be its most enterprising. The knowledge in this area is improved, and uncertainties and biases that result from inadequate education and training are abridged via entrepreneurship education. Better coaching of the aspiring entrepreneur may result from a better understanding of the first stage of the entrepreneurial process (Degeorge and Fayolle, 2008). A novice may benefit from it to comprehend, assess, and develop new opportunities. It improves business development understanding in the same way that most other professional education does. Education in entrepreneurship complements other professional education programs and aids in creating superior technological ventures. For instance, combining engineering with entrepreneurial education leads to high-growth technology businesses. Dutta (2011) has advocated that it is the range of educational experiences rather than the specialized entrepreneurship education which leads to successful entrepreneurial outcomes. Small businesses and new initiatives are a crucial and prevalent component of a rising nation. Numerous economies have recognized the significance of entrepreneurial education in higher education. The procedures for including entrepreneurship courses at secondary and primary education levels have also been proposed in various developing nations, acknowledging the significance of entrepreneurship in economic development. At the beginning of professional goals, entrepreneurship awareness is ingrained through primary and secondary education. Additionally, it strengthens the young aspirants' entrepreneurial mindsets at the higher education or tertiary level.
