It is extremely satisfying to take action and turn your ideas into a profitable business. Entrepreneurship can help people build careers that are aligned with their values, like helping others or protecting the environment. This can bring a sense of emotional and mental satisfaction which other jobs don’t.
Entrepreneurship is a complicated social phenomenon that requires complex interactions between humans and their social environments in which they live, work and play, as well, and learn. This is why it is often regarded as a crucial subject of study within the social sciences. It is also an inter-disciplinary subject that draws on the disciplines of anthropology, law and public policy as well as sociology and management.
In this article, we outline the research on the entrepreneurship education of students who are not business-related and propose a synergetic framework for the existing research based on four dimensions of social learning – observational learning, the role of mentors and peers and the entrepreneurial ecosystem as a resource for social learning, and institutional influences on learning. We then examine how this framework could be utilized in a more systematic manner to guide research and development of entrepreneurial education in the coming years. We also present an in-depth bibliometric analysis, supported by VOSviewer and Bibliometrix that highlights the most well-known authors, institutions as well as countries, seminar articles, journals, and themes. This allows a comprehensive and detailed understanding of the state of the field. The analysis also provides insight into potential future areas of research and the gaps in knowledge that must be filled.
