Examining the Formation of Human Capital in Entrepreneurship : A Meta-Analysis of Entrepreneurship Education Outcomes

The research on entrepreneurship education�entrepreneurial intentions has yielded mixed results. We meta-analyzed 73 studies with a total sample size of 37,285 individuals and found a significant but a small correlation between entrepreneurship education and entrepreneurial intentions (inline image). This correlation is also greater than that of business education and entrepreneurial intentions. However, after controlling for pre-education entrepreneurial intentions, the relationship between entrepreneurship education and post-education entrepreneurial intentions was not significant. We also analyzed moderators, such as the attributes of entrepreneurship education, students' differences, and cultural values. Our results have implications for entrepreneurship education scholars, program evaluators, and policy makers.

The Relationship Between Entrepreneurship Education and Entrepreneurial Intentions: A Meta-Analytic Review

Purpose – Facing the multiplication of entrepreneurship education programmes (EEP) and the increasing resources allocated, there is a need to develop a common framework to evaluate the design of those programmes. The purpose of this article is to propose such a framework, based on the theory of planned behaviour (TPB). Design/methodology/approach – TPB is a relevant tool to model the development of entrepreneurial intention through pedagogical processes. The independent variables are the characteristics of the EEP and the dependent variables are the antecedents of entrepreneurial behaviour. To illustrate and test the relevance of the evaluation methodology, a pilot study is conducted. Findings – Data are consistent and reliable, considering the small scale of this experiment. The EEP assessed had a strong measurable impact on the entrepreneurial intention of the students, while it had a positive, but not very significant, impact on their perceived behavioural control. Research implications/limitations – This is a first step of an ambitious research programme aiming at producing theory-grounded knowledge. Reproduction of the experiment will allow researchers to test how specific characteristics of an EEP influence its impact and how the impact differs across several cohorts of students. Those comparisons will serve to improve a priori the design of EEP. Originality/value – The new methodology is built on a robust theoretical framework and based on validated measurement tools. Its originality is about a relative – longitudinal – measure of impact over time and a particular use of the theory of planned behaviour which is seen as an assessment framework.

Assessing the Impact of Entrepreneurship Education Programmes: A New Methodology

Entrepreneurial intention is a rapidly evolving field of research. A growing number of studies use entrepreneurial intention as a powerful theoretical framework. However, a substantial part of this research lacks systematization and categorization, and there seems to be a tendency to start anew with every study. Therefore, there is a need to take stock of current knowledge in this field. In this sense, this paper carries out a review of the literature on entrepreneurial intentions. A total of 409 papers addressing entrepreneurial intention, published between 2004 and 2013 (inclusive), have been analyzed. The purpose and contribution of this paper is to offer a clearer picture of the sub-fields in entrepreneurial intention research, by concentrating on two aspects. Firstly, it reviews recent research by means of a citation analysis to categorize the main areas of specialization currently attracting the attention of the academic community. Secondly, a thematic analysis is carried out to identify the specific themes being researched within each category. Despite the large number of publications and their diversity, the present study identifies five main research areas, plus an additional sixth category for a number of new research papers that cannot be easily classified into the five areas. Within those categories, up to twenty-five different themes are recognized. A number of research gaps are singled out within each of these areas of specialization, in order to induce new ways and perspectives in the entrepreneurial intention field of research that may be fruitful in filling these gaps.

Assessing the impact of entrepreneurship education programmes : A new methodology

Our paper presents a full experimentation of a new methodology designed for assessing the Entrepreneurship Teaching Programmes (ETP). The theory of planned behaviour (Ajzen, 1991 and 2002) provides us a very useful framework to analyze and measure how an ETP could influence its participants regarding their entrepreneurial attitudes and intentions. We apply this framework to an experimentation consisting in a 3-daypedagogical process focusing on entrepreneurship with a sample of 275 French students following a Specialised Master in Management at a business school ranked among the top four in France. The results suggest that the ETP could have some strong positive effects for some students, depending on their background and initial perspectives on entrepreneurial intention. At the same time, the ETP could also actually decrease the level of entrepreneurial intention (counter-effects) for other students who have been yet exposed to entrepreneurship. Se presenta una medicion completa de una nueva metodologia disenada para determinar los programas de ensenanza del espiritu emprendedor (ETP,por sus siglas en ingles). La teoria de la conducta prevista (Ajzen, 1991 y 2002) nos proporciona un marco muy util para analizar y para medir como un ETP podria influenciar a sus participantes con respecto a sus actitudes e intenciones emprendedoras. Aplicamos esta herramienta a una muestra de 275 estudiantes franceses que cursan un master especializado en Direccion en una escuela de negocio que se situa entre las cuatro mejores en Francia y, que cursan un seminario de tres dias centrado en el espiritu emprendedor. Los resultados sugieren que el ETP podria tener algunos efectos positivos importantes para algunos estudiantes, dependiendo de su conocimiento y perspectivas iniciales en la intecion emprendedora. Al mismo tiempo, el ETP podria tambien disminuir realmente el nivel de la intecion emprendedora (efecto-contrario) para otros estudiantes.
