Making the decision to pursue your own ideas and then turn them into a successful business is a highly satisfying pursuit. Entrepreneurship lets people create careers that align with their values, like helping others or protecting the environment. This can bring a sense of emotional and mental fulfillment that other occupations can’t.
Entrepreneurship is a social phenomenon, involving complex interplays between humans as well as the social environment in which they live, work, play and learn. This is why it is often seen as an important area of study for the social sciences. It is also an interdisciplinary field that draws upon the disciplines of sociology, management, law, anthropology, public policy and management for non-profit organizations.
We map the research on entrepreneurial education for non-business students in this article and suggest a framework for existing research that is based on the four dimensions of social-learning, which include observational learning, the role of mentors and peers, the entrepreneurial ecosystem, as a platform to social-learning, and institutional influences. We also discuss how this framework could be applied more consistently to guide future research and development in entrepreneurship education. We also present a detailed analysis of bibliometrics, supported by VOSviewer, Bibliometrix and highlighting the most well-known authors, institutions, countries, seminars articles journals and themes. This provides a complete and thorough understanding of the current state of the art. The analysis also offers information on future research areas and gaps in knowledge.
