Abstract

The assessment of entrepreneurship education outcomes should move beyond a focus on firm creation and associated economic impact to consider a more nuanced view that pays attention to graduates and their entrepreneurial competencies. There is currently limited understanding to what extent entrepreneurial competencies developed through entrepreneurship education are applied in graduates’ subsequent careers across various occupational roles, either as employees or as self-employed. Our analysis is based on a survey administered to 556 graduates from three Nordic master-level entrepreneurship education programs (1997–2018), all identified as venture creation programs. We find that, to a large extent, entrepreneurial competencies developed through venture creation programs are applied in subsequent careers across multiple occupational roles encompassing self-employment, hybrid entrepreneurship, and intrapreneurship. Entrepreneurship education is relevant not only to new firm creation but also to entrepreneurial positions in established organizations when it comes to graduates’ application of entrepreneurial competencies in subsequent careers.

创业项目的毕业生——他们在哪里应用他们的创业能力？

摘要

对创业教育成果的评估应超越对企业创建和相关经济影响的关注，而应考虑更细致入微的观点，关注毕业生及其创业能力。目前，人们对通过创业教育培养的创业能力在多大程度上应用于毕业生随后的各种职业角色（无论是作为雇员还是作为个体经营者）的了解有限。我们的分析基于对三个北欧硕士级创业教育项目（1997-2018 年）的 556 名毕业生进行的一项调查，这些项目都被确定为创业项目。我们发现，在很大程度上，通过创业项目培养的创业能力被应用到随后的职业生涯中，涉及多种职业角色，包括自营职业、混合创业和内部创业。创业教育不仅与新公司的创建有关，而且与毕业生在随后的职业生涯中应用创业能力有关时，也与已建立组织的创业职位有关。
