[entrepreneurship-phd at lists.uni-due.de]

Call for Papers
Special Issue of The Journal of Small Business and Enterprise
Development (JSBED)
Topic: "Entrepreneurship Education in the 21st Century: Opportunities,
Obstacles and Observations."
Deadline: March 1, 2007

The past 25 years of focus on entrepreneurship education has presented
significant challenges for teachers and professors to create curricula
and
methods that meet or surpass student expectations. Present and potential
small business entrepreneurs who enroll in entrepreneurship courses seek
avenues to express latent creativity and innovativeness.  Since the
pioneering work of Schumpeter, the study of entrepreneurship and
enterprise
development has aroused interest in both academic and professional
circles
especially in regards to the dissemination of knowledge and skills
required
to act upon and develop entrepreneurial ventures and behaviors.  This
special issue of JSBED explores the opportunities, obstacles and
observations of researchers' teachers and scholars as entrepreneurship
education evolves in the 21st century.  The hope is that this issue
becomes
a seminal source of knowledge for the filed.
