Evolution of entrepreneurship and entrepreneurship education – the case study of Extremadura Region in Spain

Authors:

Abstract

A critical review shows what has been the advance in the field of Entrepreneurship Education in Europe from the establishment of the Oslo Agenda in 2006 centering in three dimensions: research, educational and political implementation and social impact. The Council of Europe’s report “Entrepreneurship Education: a road to success” concludes that “students participating in entrepreneurship education are more likely to start their own business and their companies tend to be more innovative and more successful than those led by persons without entrepreneurship education backgrounds. Entrepreneurship education alumni are at lower risk of being unemployed, and are more often in steady employment. Compared to their peers, they have better jobs and make more money”. We will try to measure and test these conclusions in a regional case study (Extremadura in Spain). Desk research has been conducted to go beyond a state of art, highlighting, from a critical approach, key questions on intercultural issues about entrepreneurship and entrepreneurship education. In the context of a case study (the region of Extremadura in Spain) quantitative and qualitative data are integrated into the analysis. Qualitative methods included participant observation.
