The End of Entrepreneurship: A Holistic Paradigm for Teaching and Learning about, for and through Enterprise
Luczkiw, Eugene
Industry and Higher Education, v21 n1 p43-57 Feb 2007
This paper builds a case that broadens the purpose of entrepreneurship education beyond the walls of the business school to include diverse fields of study at the tertiary level. Entrepreneurship, as a discipline, transcends traditional business school programmes that constrict its holistic nature. It has long been recognized that entrepreneurs are much more than small business owners/managers or self-employed people. They are more aptly described as agents of change and disruption and, more importantly, entrepreneurs can be found in every sector of society. The emerging science of complexity holds a great deal of promise as a theoretical framework for the entrepreneurial journey. The field of entrepreneurship is holistic and interdisciplinary in nature. Entrepreneurship requires a much broader sweep than what the business school curriculum alone can offer. The "end" of entrepreneurship calls for a whole new field of study to unfold and emerge. (Contains 5 figures.)
