For the modern man the patriarchal relation of status is by no means the dominant feature of life; but for the women on the other hand, and for the upper-middle class women especially, confined as they are by prescription and by economic circumstances to their "domestic sphere", this relation is the most real and most formative factor of life'. (Veblen 1899, 324 as quoted in Van Staveren and Odebode 2007, 903)

Research SummaryAnticipating that innovation nurtures entrepreneurship, we began an extended case study of an innovative start‐up in the space industry. We quickly saw that institutions imposed formidable barriers to implementing entrepreneurship from innovation. Curious about how, why and the extent of this situation, we widened our study to other start‐ups, CEOs of existing businesses, an incubator, a technology transfer office and key influencers in large space companies and agencies. We found that institutions and policies had, in effect, shrunk the entrepreneurial field, leaving little room for enterprise. Conceptualizing from this, we propose the institutions create an “entrepreneurial space.” Theoretically, we explain how this concept of an entrepreneurial space can be usefully applied in other contexts.Managerial SummaryThe space industry is extremely innovative. It is also dominated by two powerful incumbent firms and a third that is highly regulated. This research examines...

This editorial discusses contemporary entrepreneurship education research and identifies the manner in which the three articles comprising this special issue contribute to advancing the theoretical and methodological foundations of the field. In so doing we seek to describe how and why entrepreneurship education research may struggle for legitimacy along with the complexities of working in this field. This special issue raises questions about entrepreneurship education research and, through the featured articles provides some responses. This special issue itself, however, is presented as part of an ongoing discussion about the nature and role of entrepreneurship education more widely and is intended to provoke further critical engagement and stimulate theoretical and methodological development.

AbstractIn this article, we briefly identify three main challenges/issues that should be taken into consideration in the institutionalization of entrepreneurship research: (1) recognizing the complexity of the phenomenon under study; (2) producing interesting, relevant and useful research results for all stakeholders; and (3) developing a critical posture in research. Following the discussion of these challenges/issues we introduce the five contributions to the Special Issue that, in different ways, problematize and challenge mainstream research and approaches. These articles use ‘dissensus discourses’, apply critical, ideological and paradigmatic stances and in some cases underline the importance of contextual factors.

This work presents a synthesis of a debate regarding taken-for-granted assumptions and challenges in entrepreneurship education, matured after a developmental workshop organized to increase the research salience of the field. From the five contributions selected, three challenges emerge. The first is recognizing that participants’ representations about entrepreneurship play a crucial role in defining goals and impact of entrepreneurship education; second, integrating new perspectives of conceiving entrepreneurship into the current models of teaching entrepreneurship; and, lastly, facilitating the integration of entrepreneurship knowledge into practice. These challenges opened up to a conception of entrepreneurship education as a dynamic concept reflecting personal values, societal changes, and cultural differences. As a result, learning places of entrepreneurship education promotes exploration and not adaptation to existing schemes, where personal models for practicing entrepreneurs...

Au cœur des préoccupations des pouvoirs publics, l’entrepreneuriat mobilise d’importantes ressources et l’éducation en entrepreneuriat est évaluée sur sa capacité à produire les effets attendus : création d’entreprises, d’emplois et développement de l’esprit d’entreprendre. Le caractère processuel de la démarche entrepreneuriale, ancrée dans un écosystème par nature dynamique, induit de nécessaires interactions entre les acteurs impliqués dans le projet. Leurs subjectivités influent sur leur rapport au projet entrepreneurial. Les deux thèses présentées dans ce ‘Regards croisés’ interrogent d’une part les formes que peut prendre l’engagement de l’entrepreneur naissant dans ce contexte spécifique de création et d’émergence et d’autre part l’évaluation nécessairement multidimensionnelle de l’impact des dispositifs d’éducation en entrepreneuriat. Ces travaux contribuent à alimenter la boîte à outils des accompagnateurs en prenant en compte le rôle des facteurs contextuels.

Mientras numerosos agentes de educación empresarial todavía asumen que el principal objetivo de los cursos de entrepreneurship en la Universidad y en las escuelas de negocios es el de producir empresarios, nosotros defendemos en este artículo que la educación empresarial es mucho más. La educación empresarial puede ser vista como una ponderosa palanca para ayudar a los estudiantes en el aprendizaje de cómo crear nueva riqueza social y económica en un mundo complejo y dinámico, como pensar y actuar empresarialmente en un amplio espectro de situaciones y contextos, como ver el emprendimiento principalmente como un método y no como un fin en sí mismo, etc.. Por tanto, para abordar de la mejor forma posible estos objetivos, nosotros argumentamos que la educación empresarial debería ser conceptualizada y diseñada basándose en cuatro principios educacionales: aprender a comprender la interrelación de múltiples interacciones sociales, aprender a navegar en un entorno complejo y dinámico, a...

Entrepreneurial Orientation has attracted substantial attention since its promulgation in the 1980s. In this chapter the Authors address the relationship between EO and firm performance. They provide cluster analysis based on a range of dimensions of EO using data from 163 French firms. The chapter is significant in that it makes links between personality of the top manager, the characteristics of the organization (structure, size, age, culture) and the environment and organizational performance. The results show how four clusters: “go getter”, “risk takers”, “innovators” and “all stars” have various dimensions of EO. Interestingly, the findings both contradict and support the conventional wisdom. For example, in relation to “innovation” the personality of the top managers has little influence but a mechanistic structure and a group culture were found to be important. For the “all-stars”, market culture and clan culture were found to be significant characteristics. Although the analysis is limited to French data, the results provide interesting results that should be built upon by others interested in the relationship between EO and business performance.

There are many factors involved in becoming an effective entrepreneur. The process of recognizing opportunities and nurturing new ventures must take into account both internal decision-making practice and external environmental influence. Developing, Shaping and Growing Entrepreneurship considers the role played by education, research, context and strategy in helping to grow entrepreneurial projects from the initial seed of an idea through to the fruition of success. This book is a wide-ranging examination of the influences on entrepreneurial activity that also asks new questions of entrepreneurship and opens new avenues of research. As such, it will become essential reading for academic researchers and entrepreneurial practitioners alike.

ABSTRACT This article reflects on extant scholarship on entrepreneurial leadership and gender, as published in both the Journal of Small Business Management and elsewhere. As such, it lays the foundation for the special issue, and contributes to current knowledge in the field. Our selected papers—summarized and critiqued in this article—collectively offer a contemporary view of women's entrepreneurial leadership at the global level that should usefully contribute to extending scholarly debates. In this regard, we highlight the diversity and complexity of women's entrepreneurial leadership, and demonstrate that it is both economically and contextually embedded, worthy of further scholarly attention.

We offer a taxonomy of firms according to their EO. We analyze a database of 163 Small Medium Enterprises (SMEs) and find four clusters: go-getters, risk-takers, innovators, and all-stars. We then characterized these groups of firms according to the variables most often found in the literature: personality of the top manager, firm structure, corporate culture, environment, age and size, and finally performance. These configurations offer a map of firm-level entrepreneurship, where the type of EO is associated to different structures and cultures.

Researchers in management science are increasingly concerned with the rigour of their research work and their capacity to build knowledge based on a cumulative research model. This article examines the strength of the entrepreneurial orientation construct, extensively used in entrepreneurship and strategy. Based on a close analysis of the seminal literature, the authors propose a critical evaluation of the development of the construct, which is a preliminary condition to enhancing its operationalization.

This paper looks at corporate entrepreneurship (CE) training and proposes some insights for its evaluation. The literature review begins by outlining what corporate entrepreneurship entails and the rationale for a firm adopting a more entrepreneurial posture. Subsequently, organizational devices for encouraging corporate entrepreneurship are explored, with a particular focus on the practice of training. Assessing the effect of training programmes leads to the question of how the programmes, especially CE programmes, can be effectively evaluated. An evaluative framework for CE training initiatives is proposed. The paper draws on evaluation principles from three fields of literature – training, adult education and entrepreneurship education. This study focuses on the ‘changes in learners’ that occur as a result of training. The evaluation insights gained from these three fields are coupled with an individualized measure of entrepreneurial orientation to present a schematic of effectiv...

Abstract Entrepreneurship teachers (ETs) evolve in an environment where different categories of people interact: students, teachers and stakeholders. Assuming one or more identities or roles, teachers, practitioners, ex-entrepreneurs and/or researchers are the ‘transmitters’1 of entrepreneurship education (EE). The question of recognition of teachers’ professional status is not always addressed (Hargreaves, 2000). Scientific research in EE shows certain weaknesses (Byrne, Fayolle, & Toutain, 2014; Fayolle, 2013), notably, a lack of interest in questions of (i) the perceived legitimacy of ETs and (ii) the support they receive in carrying out their work (particularly professional development). Taking a decidedly multidisciplinary perspective, this chapter aims to deal with the question of the perceived legitimacy of ETs using a literature review that covers all disciplines having shown an interest in the notion of teacher legitimacy. The legitimacy of EE depends on the interactions between legitimate instructors and legitimate students in a given context, which respects certain collectively accepted norms. It also depends on the context and the objective of EE. Following the example of a university hospital worker (doctor), ETs can be practitioners, teachers and researchers. Their degree of expertise, position in the institution, positioning in relation to other actors – students, peers, colleagues, institutional and professional stakeholders – and the discourse they use are the elements that constitute their legitimacy.

Ce cadre conceptuel a ete applique de maniere concrete a EDF, qui constitue un cas interessant de grande entreprise confrontee aux necessites et a l'urgence d'un changement impose par le poids de son histoire et l'evolution rapide de son environnement. Dans une premiere partie, nous explicitons la notion d'orientation entrepreneuriale avant de decrire dans une deuxieme partie l'entreprise et le contexte qui l'a conduite dans la voie du changement. Enfin la troisieme partie nous permet de montrer que les choix et les processus strategiques d'EDF peuvent etre relus de maniere tout a fait naturelle a travers la grille theorique de l'orientation entrepreneuriale.

Although cognitive theory has been adopted to explain entrepreneurial risk behavior, the complex interaction between personal and situational variables in stimulating or inhibiting entrepreneurship has yet to be explored. In this study, we focus on risk perception and the decision to start a new venture. We suggest that both depend on the framing of the new venture as a potential gain or a potential loss. “Gains and losses, of course, are defined relative to some neutral reference point.” (Kahneman & Tversky, 1979: 274) Accordingly, we hypothesize that the location of the reference point and the consequent framing of the new venture depend on two variables: (1) the current position of the individual, operationalized in terms of his/her employment situation (employed vs. unemployed); and (2) the manner in which the new venture is presented (emphasizing its positive aspects/chances of success vs. emphasizing its negative aspects/chances of failure). In addition, we suggest that the fr...

Purpose – This paper seeks to advance ongoing research in entrepreneurial perseverance. While the concept of perseverance is not new, few researchers paid attention to behavioural persistence in the entrepreneurial context. The purpose of this paper is to explore the emergence of new technology based firms (NTBF) by focusing on the role of nascent entrepreneurs’ social skills in the meeting the changes of entrepreneurial perseverance. Design/methodology/approach – In this paper the authors study the start-up phase of entrepreneurial process. The authors opted for a longitudinal case study approach in order to enhance the knowledge on entrepreneurs’ social skills and perseverance. For triangulation purpose the data were gathered using four different information sources. The use of Nvivo8 as the data analysis tool helped to impose a discipline and structure which facilitated the extraction of core insights.

The family character gathers firms whose weight in the economic activity of countries is considerable for developed countries as well as for the others. However, this type of firm is exposed to not only the threats that challenge all types of firms but they must also face dangers related to their family nature. Several American and European studies were interested in the succession issues associated with family businesses. However, this topic received very little theoretical and empirical investigation in developing countries. In Tunisia, the push in favor of private firms was given in the 60s. Nearly 50 years later, those entrepreneurs who had received state aid to start their businesses are about to retire. How is this dealt with? How is succession "guaranteed"? Hard as it may be to speculate on the outcome of this succession, can we at least describe its phases first and then consider the factors that could have an impact on it? These central questions to Tunisia's ...

ABSTRACT This book, written by leading scholars, provides stimulating coverage of topical issues in the field of small business and entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurship has already been shown to be a significant source of innovation and economic development but the variations in the contribution at the individual, organisational, regional and national levels remain relatively unexplored. The types of contributions – behavioural, economic and social – are also relatively new areas for empirical scrutiny and theoretical development. This anthology provides in-depth analyses of entrepreneurship across Europe and demonstrates the importance of context – the geographical, political and socio-economic milieu within which entrepreneurship takes place.

No writer has captured the reader’s imagination as vividly as the Marquis de Sade. Per his usual ramblings, he espouses evil via excruciatingly detailed sexual exploits; but, in later writings he is vehemently critical of those who engage in corrosive behavior. In Reflections on the Novel, de Sade provides step-by-step instructions to create repelling, enthralling, and memorable fictional narratives, then stratifies “what not to do” in order to avoid situations that may lead to irreparable physical, mental, and emotional damage in real life. In this same pamphlet, he advocates authenticity in writing and ways to empower the budding Sadist. Moreover, he is unique in this discourse because he deviates from previous writings and speaks directly to the audience. This article deconstructs Reflections on the Novel and it provides unique writing tenets as suggested by de Sade. These precepts are revolutionary because they provide new avenues of research in entrepreneurship.

Ce travail présente des réflexions relatives à la formulation d’une nouvelle vision de l’objet de recherche au cœur, selon nous, de la recherche en entrepreneuriat. Nous décrivons, notamment, le concept de «situation entrepreneuriale ». Par situation entrepreneuriale, nous entendons toute situation qui relie un individu, très fortement engagé (consommation de ressources vitales : temps, argent, énergie, etc.) dans une action entrepreneuriale (comportements, décisions, activités, etc.), et un projet ou une organisation utilisé comme support de création de valeur. Une des caractéristiques, voire une des spécificités de la perspective que nous adoptons est que nous ne nous intéressons pas seulement à un acteur (individu ou groupe d’individus), une organisation ou une entreprise, mais bien davantage à un couple sujet-objet, individu-projet ou encore individu-organisation. Ce couple ne peut pas être dissocié dans toute approche scientifique (observation, analyse) d’une situation entrepre...

ABSTRACT Le succès d’un projet entrepreneurial innovant dépend de la capacité de son porteur à pouvoir s’entourer d’acteurs détenteurs de ressources clés. Étudier les dynamiques de formation du réseau social du créateur d’entreprise doit pouvoir contribuer à une meilleure compréhension du processus entrepreneurial. Une étude longitudinale menée en France sur six projets de création d’entreprise technologique révèle que le réseau entrepreneurial émerge sur un fond de problèmes et d’obstacles. Dans ce contexte, les compétences sociales de l’entrepreneur et les objets matériels qu’il mobilise jouent un rôle important et complémentaire dans la dynamique de construction des liens sociaux

Entrepreneurial growth of the firm calls for insights from corporate entrepreneurship research, a rapidly developing field under the banners of “Entrepreneurial Orientation”, and “Entrepreneurial Management”. This proliferation can be understood when we consider the stakes: knowing what leads to corporate entrepreneurship would enable practitioners to identify these characteristics in their organisations, and develop what is lacking. Why have these two concepts developed? Are there really two distinct paths to entrepreneurship? Could there be a link between them? This conceptual paper ambitions at a comparative study of the two concepts: Entrepreneurial Orientation and Entrepreneurial Management, through a careful study of the literature. Our development clearly indicates that first, neither EO nor EM is sufficient alone to determine corporate entrepreneurship. We show that second, even if similarities and relations do exist, further research should be conducted to establish the con...

Based on this observation, the purpose of this paper is to focus on the entrepreneurial process and more specifically on its trigger phase; the exploratory research question is: how to model the entrepreneurial process trigger phase?Design/methodology/approachFirst, based on a review of the literature, the authors seek to identify the main concepts that can be used to study the entrepreneurial process trigger. Second, the authors try to show the articulation between these various concepts with a view to proposing a typology of the entrepreneurial process trigger. In order to model the trigger phase, the authors rely mostly on the concepts of intention and displacement and works by Shapero and Sokol, by Ajzen, and by Krueger and Carsrud. The authors study the case of French engineers by drawing on previous research, nota...

The authors explore the role played by science and technology parks (STPs) as regional platforms for incubating science- and technology-based businesses. Using multiple case studies of the more established US and French STP facilities, they provide an analysis of the contributions made by STPs as regional drivers of innovative entrepreneurship. The paper concludes that successful STPs can act as platforms for incubating science and technology businesses. If modern STPs are to emerge as sustainable platforms of incubation, their business models must be responsive to changing contextual needs through the pursuit of realistic goals, providing high-quality value-added services, employing professionally competent management and maintaining financial strength.

ABSTRACT L’étude des processus est aujourd’hui au coeur de nombreux travaux dans le domaine de l’entrepreneuriat. L’objectif de notre contribution est d’avancer quelques idées et suggestions destinées à esquisser des pistes de recherche s’inscrivant dans ce courant de recherche. Pour cela, nous partons d’une revue de la littérature consacrée au champ de l’entrepreneuriat, pour repérer des tendances d’évolution de la recherche et identifier des contributions structurantes. Ce travail nous ayant permis de mieux comprendre l’intérêt des approches basées sur les processus et les principaux concepts utilisés, il devient alors possible d’organiser nos idées et de développer autour de deux dimensions importantes qui concernent les aspects "statique" et "dynamique" des processus entrepreneuriaux. The study of entrepreneurial processes is becoming more and more important in the entrepreneurship research everywhere in the world. The main objective of our contribution is to bring some ideas and suggestions in relation to this current stream. With this material we are expecting to highlight some interesting ways of research. To achieve our objective, we are doing first a review of literature in the field of entrepreneurship. This work has to lead us then in improving our understanding of how entrepreneurship research is evolving and also has to provide us with the most structuring concepts in the process oriented research. In the last part of our paper, we are developing some ideas around two key dimensions in the study of the entrepreneurial process which are the synchronic and the diachronic aspects of the process.

Les travaux de recherche sur le réseau entrepreneurial ne cessent de croitre. Cependant les connaissances produites sur les dynamiques de construction de ce réseau en fonction du temps restent limitées. Ce constat est encore plus marqué pour tous ceux qui s’intéressent à l’étude de la phase ante création du processus entrepreneurial. En prenant comme fondement théorique de l’entrepreneuriat la conception de Bruyat (1993), les auteurs ont suivi pendant deux ans la formation progressive du réseau entrepreneurial. Ils ont mobilisé la théorie de l’acteur-réseau pour étudier cette dynamique dans une situation de création d’entreprise innovante.

The entrepreneur has a particular and indispensable role to play in the evolution of liberal economic systems. Whether entrepreneurs are self-employed or working for organisations (as employees), they are often at the origin of radical innovations. Entrepreneurs create companies and jobs, they participate in the renewal of the economic fabric. Entrepreneurs are innovators who bring ‘creative destruction’ (Schumpeter 1934). An economic dynamic of change is only possible if there is a revolution, that is to say a complete upheaval of the established order. Schumpeter highlights and glorifies the disturbing role of the entrepreneur; he even argues that only individuals with a capacity to innovate deserve to be called entrepreneurs. This vision is also put forward by Octave Gelinier, renowned French consultant who insisted, as early as the late 1970s, on the importance of what the entrepreneur could bring to the economy: ‘Countries, professions, firms that develop and innovate are those which practise entrepreneurship. Statistics of economic growth, international exchanges, patenting, licensing and innovations for the past 30 years clearly establish this point: it is very costly to do without entrepreneurs’ (Gelinier 1978). In this perspective, entrepreneurship represents a real engine of economic development. The role of entrepreneurship, however, is not limited to economic development; it also disrupts traditional organisation and functioning patterns. We even believe it can give rise to new organisational configurations.

Who would dream of associating the figure of the entrepreneur with poverty and precariousness? Traditionally, society and literature paint a very different picture of the entrepreneur, who embodies such values as risk and initiative-taking, a strong sense of responsibility, action- and result-orientation, and even opportunism, etc. The author argues in this paper that present (and past) measures intended, in the French context, to encourage the creation of new jobs and new ventures by job seekers and/or individuals in precarious situations contributes greatly to the development of some forms of ’forced’ entrepreneurship, which may have dramatic consequences for the individuals concerned and society at large. The objective of this paper is to shed some light on these particular forms of entrepreneurship, which are likely to increase in the current context of uncertainty and change.

La litterature sur le champ de l’entrepreneuriat organisationnel se developpe. Cependant, notre connaissance demeure fragmentee et non cumulative. Parmi les differentes ecoles de pensees existantes, les auteurs portent une attention particuliere au construit de l’orientation entrepreneuriale, au concept de management entrepreneurial et a la notion de firme entrepreneuriale developpee par Danny Miller au debut des annees 1980. Prenant comme point de depart le besoin d’integrer les elements cles de ce champ, ils elaborent un cadre theorique qui combine ces conceptions et l’appliquent a une etude de cas. La contribution des auteurs est de montrer que les processus entrepreneuriaux au sein des organisations sont differencies et dependent des configurations organisationnelles et de leur degre de coherence.

The role of firm’s resources or specifically knowledge in achieving sustained competitive advantage has been well established in strategic management literature. To strengthen their competitive advantage, extent or enrich their knowledge base, firms used to hire people embedding appropriate human capital. Whereas the nature of this competitive advantage has been largely investigated, it is not exactly the case for the processes or conditions through which firms used to construct it. This paper wants to contribute to a better understanding of how it is constructed by investigating, how far the resource that spinoff already has constrained, or determine the acquisition of next ones.

La these permet d'apporter des donnees nouvelles destinees a mieux comprendre les comportements entrepreneuriaux des ingenieurs diplomes francais. En particulier, nous tentons d'apporter des elements de reponse a deux questions essentielles. La premiere concerne l'identification des facteurs qui exercent une influence (positive ou negative) sur la propension a entreprendre des ingenieurs. Elle revient a nous interroger sur l'identite et les caracteristiques des ingenieurs entrepreneurs. La seconde question vise a mettre au jour les differents cheminements ou parcours qui conduisent les ingenieurs a entreprendre. Cette question en entraine une autre : celle de l'identification eventuelle de profils d'ingenieurs entrepreneurs, lesquels profils peuvent avoir une importance quant aux types de comportements de dirigeants developpes et aux types de d'entreprises crees ou reprises. Le cadre d'analyse que nous avons retenu est un modele "interactionniste" qui, pour expliquer le comportement entrepreneurial de l'ingenieur, prend en consideration a la fois "l'intetion strategique" de l'acteur et une logique d'action qui resulte de la rencontre entre un acteur, saisi dans toutes ses dimensions sociales, et une situation mise en forme par le poids des institutions, des normes, des rapports de pouvoir, en nous referant, plus precisemment, aux travaux de H. Le Marois et P. Bernoux, nous proposons de donner au "systeme d'action de l'ingenieur" trois poles en interaction : l'ingenieur acteur, ses ressources et son espace d'opportunites. Ils fondent la logique d'action entrepreneuriale de l'ingenieur telle que nous la concevons.

This book, written by leading scholars, provides stimulating coverage of topical issues in the field of small business and entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurship has already been shown to be a significant source of innovation and economic development but the variations in the contribution at the individual, organisational, regional and national levels remain relatively unexplored. The types of contributions – behavioural, economic and social – are also relatively new areas for empirical scrutiny and theoretical development. This anthology provides in-depth analyses of entrepreneurship across Europe and demonstrates the importance of context – the geographical, political and socio-economic milieu within which entrepreneurship takes place.

ABSTRACT The research regarding the entrepreneurial aspirationsof the younger generations of French students is conflicting.While someresearch indicates an increased interest in entrepreneurship among youngstudents, other research indicates an overall decrease in the number of newstartups. To better understand the motivation of young entrepreneurs,this research examines the characteristics of young French entrepreneurs whohave created their own firms. A literature review of the careers and entrepreneurial paths of Frenchstudents is presented.Several theoretical models act as the basis forthis research and are discussed.The data were collected viasemi-directive interviews with 16 French male entrepreneurs who graduated froma selection of university entrepreneurship programs.The findings of theresearch are discussed and interpreted. The results indicate that entrepreneurs have more in common with theirinternational counterparts than with non-entrepreneurs within theirculture.However, many of the graduates had little knowledge of theentrepreneurial process.The startup process for young entrepreneurs isthen analogized to playing a game, with similarities between the two processesnoted.

Les opportunites peuvent etre decouvertes ou construites, suivant deux conceptions qui s’opposent dans la litterature en entrepreneuriat. L’approche positiviste (decouverte) est compatible avec une vision, largement dominante, du business plan utilise comme un outil de prediction et de planification. L’approche constructiviste s’inscrit davantage dans des avancees recentes du domaine, elle presente notamment une forte compatibilite avec la theorie de l’effectuation. Ces deux approches presentent des limites et des implications particulieres quant a l’utilisation et au devenir du business plan.

The question of whether entrepreneurs are made or born is one that has been the subject of many studies in the entrepreneurial field. Education initiatives in entrepreneurship show a belief in the possibility of developing entrepreneurial skills through appropriate programs. Now, do various programs have different impact on students' propensity to start a business? The research presented here aims at identifying the variables which provide an understanding of the influence exerced by entrepreneurship courses. We collected data from 25 "Grandes Ecoles" (French Business School) and qualified their objectives when setting up such programs, as well as the means dedicated to them. Simultaneously, we submitted to our respondents (entrepreneurship programs managers) a Likert scale evaluating their perception of the direct and indirect impact of the courses. We conclude with a proposition to better anticipate the effects that can be expected from such course offerings, includi...

The aim of this paper is to propose some perspectives in entrepreneurship research based on an analysis of existing knowledge and the results of a study recently conducted with a sample of experts and professionals in the field. The conclusions of the research as well as our contribution, underline the necessity to reconsider the object of study in order to increase knowledge in the field of entrepreneurship. It seems essential to us that more research should be focused on the entrepreneurial process and the very close combination of the entrepreneur and the entrepreneurial project.

Young and rapidly internationalizing firms, known as ‘international new ventures’ (INVs) or ‘born globals’ (BGs) have developed their ability to grow rapidly in international markets primarily because the entrepreneur and his or her team have established an international network. Based on six case studies of young technological firms located in the Rhône–Alpes region of France and using a qualitative method, this study focuses on the founders' capabilities in creating and developing an international business network. The results show that entrepreneurs build on their previous professional experience to mobilize international networks during the start-up phase in order to drive the firm's activities.

In literature there is agreement about the need of improving studies’ robustness with respect to the methods used to assess entrepreneurship education (Gielnik, Frese et al., 2015). Some authors have also stressed the concept that more complex phenomena should be investigated by looking, for example, at those variables that act as moderators in the relationship between education and outcomes (Fayolle and Gailly, 2015); and that new outcomes ought to be explored apart from personal attitudes and intentions (Nabi et al., 2016). We extend these suggestions by claiming that researchers should also reflect on the theoretical lenses that could drive the formulation of future hypotheses on entrepreneurship education evaluation. Current works, in fact, rarely make reference to evaluation models to guide an assessment study. By drawing from the field of education and organizational psychology, in this chapter we present some theoretical points that we consider as crucial also for assessing entrepreneurship education programs. These theoretical reflections are aimed at nurturing a constructive debate in the field.
