Third doctorate

Entrepreneurship drives innovation, fosters economic growth, and addresses societal challenges. Entrepreneurs create jobs, develop new products, services, and solutions, and sometimes establish entirely new markets. Whether entrepreneurs are “born” or “made” remains unclear. In entrepreneurship education, we assume that entrepreneurship can be taught and learned, inspiring people worldwide to act responsibly and think forward-looking. In research, the question of whether entrepreneurship education fulfills these promises has been dominant, particularly whether such programs increase entrepreneurial intentions. However, entrepreneurship education is often viewed as a homogeneous good. The question of how we teach entrepreneurship and how we might teach it even better remains significantly underexplored.

Opening this black box was the focus of my third dissertation, which I defended on December 10, 2024.
