ABSTRACT

Contemporary entrepreneurship draws individuals to engage their capacity, efforts and abilities in the creation of new services and products that compete with market demand (Bellotti et al., 2012). Starting a new business venture is an uncertain undertaking and unstable process that necessitates a developed mental model, allowing the entrepreneur to go through a sense-making and decision-making processes. Entrepreneurship education provides individuals with the required skills and knowledge and gives them the ability to recognise relevant opportunities and potential pitfalls (Jones & English, 2004), but it frequently struggles with finding effective learning tools. Taking a look at virtual reality as a technological and complementary tool that enables the user to learn and evolve their skills by immersing themselves into virtual environments is a necessary step in inspecting functional teaching approaches. The following chapter explores various possibilities of virtual reality that could provide needed skills and functional knowledge for future entrepreneurs.
