Abstract:
This paper investigates how all actors in an entrepreneurship education ecosystem learn and gain entrepreneurial knowledge. For that purpose, a new conceptual framework for understanding the dialogic relationship between stakeholders is presented. Furthermore, the paper establishes a link between entrepreneurship education and entrepreneurial ecosystems. By studying six international cases all involved in the same entrepreneurial curriculum, interviews and observations were performed with basis in the conceptual framework.
The findings add valuable insight into how learning in an entrepreneurship education ecosystem takes place in ever changing environments. The paper contributes to development of learning for stakeholders and correlating development between maturity and entrepreneurial skills.
