ABSTRACT

This chapter discusses the entrepreneurial education that face some limitations and problems. Entrepreneurs are a highly heterogeneous group of people that defies a common definition and, consequently, common predictors. The chapter discusses the pertinent topics and present some remarks and suggestions for a better development of higher education in higher education institutions (HEI). It presents the two theories: entrepreneurial event theory and planned behaviour theory. Entrepreneurial event theory believes that the firm creation is a result of the interaction among contextual factors, influencing individual's perceptions. Planned behaviour theory develops a psychological model named 'planned behaviour'. Teachers and teaching play a prominent role in this shifting in light of active methods. Teaching methods that promote social interaction at higher levels have shown themselves able to increase knowledge and skill development in business students. Entrepreneurial and enterprise education needs to combine theory with practice to empower individuals to prepare them for scenarios that will arise from workplace situations.
