Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article proposes a taxonomy of entrepreneurship education, with the aim of enhancing our understanding of how higher education contributes to society. Entrepreneurship education programs have become a prominent feature in the curricula of many universities and business schools. Often it is developed in parallel with national policy, as described for our empirical context of Sweden. We identify four types using broad principles in terms of four different key variables described within. To identify our proposed types, we perform a cluster analysis of all 37 universities with entrepreneurship educations in one country. Previous literature provides mixed evidence about entrepreneurship programs’ effect on the likelihood of alumni starting a business afterwards. Our contribution is to specify this taxonomy through broad principles, leading to interesting questions about the competing goals between theory and practice in learning outcomes. We conclude with suggested directions for future research and implications for higher education policy.

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This chapter explores the strategies and experiences of a small European software firm. The case study covers three phases in the development of the firm and its innovative activities in software in relation to financing and markets. During the period covered, the firm shifts from being a Western based entrepreneurial venture started by software/engineering students, to a home based multinational enterprise with global links to a multinational enterprise with significant innovation in Sri Lanka. The perspective here is how, over time, the firm interacts with the national innovation system in the host-nation, in such a way as to change the location of innovative activities for reasons having to do with financing, markets and crisis. Based upon the analysis of the interwoven narrative of the development of technology, markets, financing and sourcing software development, the chapter proposes three distinct periods. They are: 1) The founding phase: building the domestic R&D base early 1980s to early 1990s. 2) The expansion phase: R&D internationalization through direct investments in early 1990s to late 2000. 3) The phase of consolidation, adaptation, and internationalization of innovative activities, 2000 to 2010. The case study illustrates how the internationalization of innovation processes can be used to maintain the competitive edge of a company as well as the necessity of having a host-nation innovation system which can provide relevant skilled labour and technological assets.
