Special Issue of AMLE on Entrepreneurship Education
Entrepreneurship education has been the testing ground for many
important
techniques in business education. Experiential exercises, computer
driven
simulations, interdisciplinary models of education, and the structured
use
of practitioners in the classroom, are all innovations that got some of
their earliest starts in the entrepreneurship classroom. Today
virtually
every university offers some sort of entrepreneurship course or program.
In
addition, entrepreneurship is a field that generates strong interest and
intrigues practitioners and policy makers at many levels and in many
countries. Entrepreneurship education has been touted as a "cure" for
economic and social ills and proposed as a part of curriculum for
students
at all ages and levels.
However, the literature on entrepreneurship pedagogy or the theory of
entrepreneurship education has not kept pace with the proliferation of
programs. There is a critical need for rigorous research into this field
to
help forge the conceptual, theoretical, and empirical links among the
many
forms of entrepreneurship education.
The goal of this special issue is to inform AMLE's readers about the
theories, methods, and best practices in entrepreneurship education.
The
issue will reflect the AMLE model and include the following sections:
Research and Reviews; Essays, Dialogues and Interviews; and Resource
Reviews. Exemplary Contributions will be by invitation only.
Conceptual
and empirical approaches are equally welcome. Among the topics likely
to
fit with the intent of the special issue are:
. Research on integrating models, frameworks, or theories,
including
attempts to define the core body of knowledge that should be included in
entrepreneurship programs
. Providing entrepreneurship education across special contexts,
including
those defined by gender, race, or ethnicity
. Research on public policy issues related to entrepreneurship
education
. Critical studies of the implications of entrepreneurship
education for
societies, industries, organizations, groups or individuals
Papers should be formatted according to the standard AMLE model, and
should
clearly identify for what part of the issue it is targeted. Authors
should
submit empirical or theoretical papers for referred consideration to
Patricia Greene, ideas for the "Essays, Dialogue and Interview" section
to
Bengt Johannisson, and ideas for Resource Reviews to Jerry Katz. All
authors are strongly urged to discuss their ideas with a co-editor prior
to
submission. Reviewers interested in the topic should volunteer to any
of
the co-editors.
The deadline for submission of manuscripts is May 1, 2003.
Questions, ideas and submissions should be directed to the Guest
