How and Why Entrepreneurship Should Be Taught to Students: Polemical Notes

Abstract

In the paper, some social, academic and organizational aspects of entrepreneurship education in Russian universities are analyzed from a polemical perspective. The author argues that some widespread approaches of entrepreneurship education in Russian colleges are  ither less efficient or do not fit, and delivers a concept and structure of an all-university three-level elective course in innovative entrepreneurship, which could be implemented in some leading universities as a minor in entrepreneurship to support students when developing or enhancing the key entrepreneurial competencies. Major limitations (risks) and opportunities (chances) of universities willing to implement this teaching module are described.
