For well over a century or even longer, entrepreneurship was confined to economic
literature as a mere concept to explain the process of production, without giving much
practical value to those involved in the task of enterprise development, which was
perceived as mundane. Few until very recently believed that entrepreneurs could be a
matter of teaching/training. Therefore, educational intervention in entrepreneurship was
given less importance. The situation remained more and less untouched until scholars from
other disciplines, particularly behavioural sciences, entered the arena. One of the pioneers
in the genre was Prof. David C. McClelland, who demonstrated the role of teaching/training
in entrepreneurship. Although, he was more interested in analyzing the psychological
variables responsible for creating an entrepreneurial personality, progress since then has
been swift and now entrepreneurship development has become almost a movement. |
