Despite a lot of interest in their new product, investors were hesitant to write them a check. However, during their discussion with an investor, they learned that if a company could prove, through crowdfunding, that people were willing to back their campaign, then that would help validate that there was a real market opportunity for their product. Having learned that investors viewed crowdfunding as an important milestone for demonstrating the validity of a company’s business model when making investment decisions, otherwise known as traction, Rajia and Ray went to work crafting a crowdfunding campaign. Looking to leverage the extensive media attention that invisaWear had garnered in recent months to direct attention to their crowdfunding campaign and build traction, to their dismay, Rajia and Ray found that mainstream media outlets had no interest in covering their crowdfunding campaign. Having hit this roadblock, Rajia and Ray now considered their options. How could their crowdfunding campaign build traction if they couldn’t get the word out to customers?","PeriodicalId":435934,"journal":{"name":"Entrepreneurship Education and Pedagogy","volume":"81 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124885223","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Entrepreneurship courses often focus on students as future entrepreneurs, taking the perspective of business owners as independent agents. Ecosystem awareness, however, allows students to develop broader perspectives about entrepreneurs and their own goals by adding a broader context. We present an overview of several exercises and projects used to explore the facets of a business district, which we use as an example and an analogy of business or community ecosystems. Implementation of Street Challenge in different locations, courses, and modalities demonstrated that the method can be adapted and customized to fit a variety of entrepreneurship education needs and intended learning outcomes. Using local neighborhoods as tangible contexts for teaching entrepreneurship within ecosystems, as well as primary research and effective communication skills, is highly effective. Equipping students with perspectives and conceptual frameworks to address future career situations as self-employed professionals or entrepreneurs is a worthwhile endeavor in itself; with Street Challenge students also discover the value of civic engagement and a sense of agency in addressing ecosystem or community challenges.","PeriodicalId":435934,"journal":{"name":"Entrepreneurship Education and Pedagogy","volume":"97 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127104537","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Many of these methodologies provide processes and tools that aid new entrepreneurs in their attempts to make informed decisions before, during, and after the launch of their minimum viable product (MVP). Drawing on theories from the Knowledge Based View, Organizational Learning, Lean Entrepreneurship, and Herzberg’s Two-Factor Theory of Hygiene and Motivating Factors, we propose a theoretical framework of incremental innovation and lean launch that is capable of increasing the probability of the MVP receiving a positive environmental response. Our framework models the phenomena of responses to MVPs within a specific market through knowledge of existing offerings and the ideas we introduce around satisfaction and dissatisfaction as two separate continuums of responses intended customers may have to MVPs. Additionally, we propose that the relationship between individual and organizational knowledge can be moderated by the individual’s level of embeddedness, and that the relationship between organizational knowledge and the environmental response to the MVP can be moderated by the organization’s capabilities and access to resources.","PeriodicalId":435934,"journal":{"name":"Entrepreneurship Education and Pedagogy","volume":"113 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130832736","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper describes a one-semester entrepreneurship course that teaches undergraduate students how to identify societally significant opportunities for STEM-based innovations, and how to de-risk associated business models. This course differs from traditional entrepreneurship education in three ways. First, it builds upon the federal Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program (“America’s Seed Fund”). Second, students learn to navigate the multidisciplinary strategic decisions that often accompany business models developed for societally impactful opportunities. Third, by becoming intimately familiar with proposal writing and submission protocols, those students willing to commit to entrepreneurship, or intrapreneurship if in the job market, have better chances of raising significant funds (>$1 M) through the SBIR program than from equity investors or commercial banks. The experiential nature of the course promotes students’ ability to discover tacit opportunities, whereas learning SBIR protocols promotes students’ ability to discover codified opportunities. The paper presents the pedagogical concepts, learning objectives, and evaluation criteria of this novel course.","PeriodicalId":435934,"journal":{"name":"Entrepreneurship Education and Pedagogy","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127071224","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One challenge in EM education is finding an effective measure. In this work, we investigate the Engineering Student Entrepreneurial Mindset Assessment (ESEMA), which intends to measure a broad definition of EM. This paper compares the constructs of the ESEMA to those found in related measures of traits and attitudes using a sample that includes engineering students, business students, and practicing entrepreneurs. In addition to validating the instrument constructs, we explore the relationship between the ESEMA factors and measures of Emotional Intelligence (EI) and Grit. Our study confirms that the ESEMA survey loads into the six expected factors. We discover that ESEMA-Empathy and EI-Others’ Emotion Appraisal as well as EI-Use of Emotion and Grit-Perseverance are similar constructs. Additionally, our results show EM-Ideation, EM-Interest, and EI-Use of Emotion to consistently and positively relate to entrepreneurial action and intention while EM-Open Mindedness relates negatively. Overall, our study provides a better understanding of how we can measure students’ entrepreneurial mindset, differences in mindsets across disciplines and between students and practicing entrepreneurs, and the relationship of the constructs measured and entrepreneurial actions and intentions.","PeriodicalId":435934,"journal":{"name":"Entrepreneurship Education and Pedagogy","volume":"58 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122366894","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

After all, what better way to have a new product quickly appear in thousands of stores all around the United States or maybe even all around the world? This dream became a reality for Marty, the creator of Tiny Sips—a simple, wholesome children’s beverage made from Montana spring water and all-natural ingredients. As the details and conditions related to the distribution deal became apparent, however, Marty soon understood that doing business at that level requires sophisticated entrepreneurial savvy and a great deal of capital. The joy of possibly selling Tiny Sips everywhere suddenly became eclipsed by questions about how to raise enough cash to scale quickly while simultaneously minimizing risk. Marty needed to employ the business acumen necessary to slow down, consider the pros and cons, and make the best decision for his company. The educational focus of this case involves weighing the entrepreneurial risks and rewards of pursuing a deal with a large retailer like Walmart. While this type of opportunity may seem exciting at first glance, a variety of factors must be considered in order to find a thoughtful and sensible path forward.","PeriodicalId":435934,"journal":{"name":"Entrepreneurship Education and Pedagogy","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129054434","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We refer to this as “wide approaches to EE”. Wide approaches to EE require education programs that go beyond simply defining entrepreneurial competencies (the “what” question) and ask for learning activities that enable the enfolding, cultivation, and development of such competencies (the “how” question). Although important steps have been made with respect to addressing the “how” question, principles to actually design wide EE programs are scarce. Here, we advance the educational practice and research regarding wide EE by deducing design principles for wide EE programs across educational levels based on core theories in the entrepreneurship literature, including experiential learning, social constructivism, and effectuation theory. The 11 design principles represent the entrepreneurial process, the task, and the context and relationships of wide EE programs, and are discussed in three European cases from different educational levels in order to illustrate how the design principles can be used for understanding wide EE practices. The identified design principles can promote evidence-informed discussion among teachers, curriculum designers, policy-makers, scholars, and others regarding the design, implementation, and investigation of wide EE programs.","PeriodicalId":435934,"journal":{"name":"Entrepreneurship Education and Pedagogy","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126505675","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
