It’s incredibly satisfying to take action and translate your ideas into a profitable business. Entrepreneurship allows people to create jobs that are in line with their core values, such as helping others or protecting the environment. It gives you a sense and mental fulfillment which other jobs don’t.
Entrepreneurship is a social process, which involves complex interactions between humans and the societal context in which they live, play, and learn. This is why it is often regarded as a significant field of study in the social sciences. It is also an inter-disciplinary area that draws from the disciplines of anthropology, law and public policy, and sociology, management and management.
We review the research on entrepreneurial learning for non-business students within this article and provide a framework for existing research based upon the four dimensions of learning through social networks – observational learning, the role of mentors and peers, the entrepreneurial ecosystem, as a platform for social-learning, and institutional influences. We then discuss how this framework can be utilized in a more systematic manner to guide research and development of entrepreneurship education in the future. We also present a detailed bibliographic analysis, aided by VOSviewer, Bibliometrix and highlighting the most prominent authors and institutions and countries, seminar articles journals, and topics. This gives a complete and in-depth understanding of the current state of the field. The analysis also provides information on potential future areas of research and the knowledge gaps that need to be filled.
