It’s incredibly satisfying to take action and translate your ideas into a successful business. Entrepreneurship allows people to build jobs that are in line with their values, for example, helping others or protecting the environment. It gives you a sense and mental fulfillment which other jobs don’t.
Entrepreneurship is a social issue, that involves complex interactions between people and the societal environment within which they live, play, and learn. Therefore, it is often regarded as an important field of study for the social sciences. It is also an inter-disciplinary field that draws on the disciplines of sociology, management, law as well as anthropology, public policy and management for non-profit organizations.
We present the research on entrepreneurial education for non-business students in this article and suggest a framework for existing research based upon the four dimensions of social-learning: observational-learning, the role played by mentors and peers as well as the entrepreneurial ecosystem as a platform to social-learning, and the influence of institutions. We also discuss how this framework can be applied more consistently to guide future research and improvement in the field of entrepreneurship education. We also present a detailed study of bibliometrics supported by VOSviewer and Bibliometrix that highlights the most prominent authors, institutions and countries, seminar papers journals, themes, and seminar articles. This gives a complete and in-depth understanding of the state of the field. The analysis also informs on possible future research areas and the knowledge gaps that need to be filled.
