Abstract

A comparison is made of curricula and teaching of entrepreneurship in business and engineering schools. Based on this comparison, as well as an analysis of the entrepreneurship education literature, two primary recommendations are made: 1) for a process-based approach to teaching entrepreneurship; and 2) for greater emphasis on the early stages of the process, especially the value creation associated with the development of the entrepreneurial opportunity. A number of other issues are raised.
