Student Entrepreneurship

The book Student Entrepreneurship offers a comprehensive literature review that delves into the complexities of student entrepreneurship. It aims to establish a workable definition of the phenomenon, while also identifying gaps and opportunities for future research. The authors recognize that much of the existing literature has approached the topic from a largely atheoretical standpoint, focusing on understanding the phenomenon in isolation rather than integrating it with established theories. This book seeks to bridge that gap by suggesting a more theoretical framework for understanding student entrepreneurship.

In recent years, there has been a shift towards utilizing theoretical approaches in the study of student entrepreneurship. The authors analyze various studies that describe the motivations and characteristics of student entrepreneurs, as well as those that attempt to establish causal relationships between these motivations and entrepreneurial behaviors. Through a systematic review of the literature, Student Entrepreneurship highlights the evolving nature of research in this area, illustrating how a theoretical lens can enhance our understanding of this emerging phenomenon.

The authors also emphasize the unique aspects of student entrepreneurship, arguing that these distinct characteristics present valuable opportunities for theoretical exploration. By discussing the methodology used to compile the literature and the contributions made to the field, Student Entrepreneurship serves as an essential resource for scholars and practitioners interested in the intersection of education and entrepreneurship.
