ABSTRACT
This chapter explores three contemporary meanings of responsibility, followed Harmon's ideas. First, responsibility as agency supported the notion of students being responsible for taking action and for their own learning. Second, responsibility as accountability refers to students responding for their decisions and actions within a world-view that considers issues beyond shareholder value maximization. Third, responsibility as obligation alludes to students' contributions to their teams and the course. More importantly, our responsibility as teachers is not only to make sure students learn but also to help them apply their skills and knowledge towards the benefit of society. Greenberg and her co-authors highlight social, economic and environmental responsibility and sustainability as one of three characteristics of entrepreneurial leaders. Teaching entrepreneurship requires greater emphasis on cultural and moral norms than on legal norms. Entrepreneurship requires a person to take responsibility for their actions, but most importantly it demands character traits that go beyond compliance and defy the status quo.
