Entrepreneurship Teaching in India and the Region

Abstract

Economies across the globe believe in entrepreneurship as an important component for economic development because it is helping countries to solve problems like unemployment or underemployment. As countries make policies and support systems to strengthen their entrepreneurial ecosystems for accelerated growth of their economies, they are increasingly focusing on entrepreneurship education (EE). This article explores various issues related to EE, pedagogies and ecosystems. With the help of survey technique, data of 157 respondents were collected. The article serves as a benchmark on university/institutes’ target group for EE, types of modules used, various supports provided by these universities/institutes to the target groups, preferences for teaching pedagogies and, most importantly, how the outcomes of EE are measured. Based on the findings, the article concludes with some recommendations to strengthen EE in India and in other regions of the globe.
