The Entrepreneurship Movement and the University

Entrepreneurship is widely embraced today in political discourse, popular culture, and economic policy prescriptions. Several groups actively promote entrepreneurial thinking and practices in higher education. This book examines how this 'Entrepreneurship Movement' impacts higher education in Canada and the United States.

Focuses on policies related to university entrepreneurship and students' entrepreneurial learning, and as such they view entrepreneurship from the perspective of higher education. this in-depth analysis of two leading countries in promoting entrepreneurship will be of interest to scholars or graduate students conducting research in this area, and to policy makers who hope to benefit from the experience of the USA and Canada in terms of science, technology and innovation agendas, as well as policies for cultivating entrepreneurial talent.
