Abstract

Entrepreneurial failure can be costly for both individual and society. Many countries believe that entrepreneurial skills, attitudes, and behaviors included in entrepreneurship courses can motivate students to start their own businesses. Researchers have emphasized the importance of entrepreneurship education; however, there is a lack of research on the effects of entrepreneurship education on individuals and society as a whole. Evaluating entrepreneurship education, a pioneering thesis by Richard Weber, focuses on evaluating the effects of entrepreneurship education through empirical analysis. Based on the dataset collected from questionnaires of two universities and the theories of social psychology, economics, and sociology, the author presents three approaches to evaluate the size and nature of the effects of entrepreneurship education and suggests an approach to improve its design to achieve the set goals.
