The Relationship Between Entrepreneurship and the Social Sciences
A broad range of disciplines contribute to the study of entrepreneurship including economics (incentives and markets) and management (opportunity or process) and sociology (influence norms, influence) as well as psychology (motivation, biases) as well as the study of anthropology (history, culture) and law. The wide array of disciplines shows that entrepreneurship is an activity and a phenomenon.
The concept of entrepreneurship has a hazy nature and this ambiguity can be seen in the definitions scholars have given it. Many have embraced Schumpeterian entrepreneurial theories that are dynamic which describe it as an individual’s ability to seize opportunities to create new companies. Others have highlighted the importance of entrepreneurial activities within larger communities or organizations. Others have restricted the definition to individuals who are self-employed and small business owners.
Whatever definition you pick It is generally accepted that entrepreneurship is vital for economic development and wellbeing and wellbeing, since it is linked with the creation of jobs and productivity increases. It also aids in economic growth. Additionally, social entrepreneurs are important social actors as they come up with solutions to society’s issues.
There is an increasing interest in incorporating this concept into entrepreneurship education. Many researchers have begun to study it. However, there is a lack of research that has a direct bearing on the impact of social entrepreneurship on higher education, and the need to better know what students learn from this type of course. This article addresses this issue through an examination of students’ learning experiences in a Social Entrepreneurship course offered at the University in Pakistan.
