Abstract:
This paper proposes a method for assessing a university-based entrepreneurship ecosystem, grounded in the identification of major stakeholders, entrepreneurship-related activities directly related to those stakeholders, and with an eye to more comprehensive experiential entrepreneurship education that goes beyond traditional classroom education. The method incorporates specific approaches with each major activity area as well as outcomes, which are then aggregated into overall ecosystem strategy and performance. The paper concludes with an approach to action planning and resource allocation staging for university officials and supporting government bodies.
