“The focus of Dr Crammond and Dr Hyams-Ssekasi’s latest book concerns internationalised entrepreneurship education.  This is a much-required text which adds valuable and novel insights into a limited existing academic literature. This book offers a novel and insightful collection of cases on entrepreneurship education. The cases offer multiple perspectives on effective teaching and learning practice and the impact of entrepreneurship education learning on a range of stakeholders. I would strongly recommend this text for any entrepreneurship educators or enterprise support agencies as a must read.”

Professor Paul Jones, Editor in Chief International Journal of Entrepreneurial Behaviour and Research

“I love this book! It offers a broad approach on entrepreneurship education from internationalisation, to sustainability, and pedagogy. Scholars, students, and practitioners will gain new insights to explore new teaching and learning approaches, improving their educational journey.”

Dr Veronica Scuotto, Associate Professor in Business Enterprise and Management - University Napoli Federico II

“Entrepreneurship Education and Internationalisation provides a rich tapestry of current thoughts, ideas and exploration into a global view of entrepreneurship education.

The approach to entrepreneurship education is often localised in practice, however, as our economies and communities continue to become more globalised, we as educators and facilitators need to also adapt and change. This is a common theme across University’s globally, as institutional strategies highlight the value of internationalisation and look to open the world to our staff and students, as well as bring wider, global communities into our own institutions.

But how can we do this meaningfully and with purpose? Within the Cases, Collaborations and Contexts throughout this book you will find examples that can help to support, instruct, and inspire you on this journey.”

Dr Emilee L Simmons, Deputy Dean and Reader in Entrepreneurship Education; Visiting Professor in global classrooms at Drexel University, USA; Board Director of Enterprise Educators UK

This book aims to highlight the intersection of educational philosophy, innovative teaching approaches and emerging practices to understand approaches to EE in different contexts. Furthermore, it will investigate the outcomes of EE and contemplate the current and prospective developments and anomalies in the field. This will provide insight into the ongoing development and advancement of EE across various subject areas and academic schools, bridging education and industry for enterprising individuals and groups.

It is widely accepted that traditional business growth and innovation involve entrepreneurship (Schumpeter, 1934), with high-growth firms continuing to attract significant attention (Delmar et al., 2003; Davidsson et al., 2009). Sustainable entrepreneurship, which seeks to balance the triple bottom line—people, profit, and planet—within the framework of business growth, is increasingly recognised as essential for long-term business success (Rosario et al., 2022; Petersen et al., 2023). However, the intricate relationship between sustainability and economic growth, particularly in the context of green growth, remains a contested issue, raising critical questions about how these concepts align (Hickel and Kallis, 2020).

Within entrepreneurship literature, a culture of proactivity, innovativeness, and risk-taking is often viewed as fundamental to entrepreneurial success (Rizwan Qaiser Danish et al., 2019). Yet, there is a growing recognition of the discrepancies that exist between these cultural ideals and their actual implementation at various levels—micro, meso, and macro—affecting entrepreneurial rationale, processes, and outcomes (Brownell et al., 2024; Crammond, 2023). Entrepreneurial proclivity, understood as a (social) process, involves a complex interplay of awareness, autonomy, and achievement through creative, innovative, and reflective activities (Murray and Crammond, 2020). 

Despite the increasing emphasis of entrepreneurship literature on cultural practices, significant gaps remain in our understanding of how sustainability both influences and is influenced by these entrepreneurial activities and processes. The socio-cognitive frameworks and values within organisations are key drivers of practices such as business model innovation (Petersen, 2024), internationalization (Petersen and Rasmussen, 2021a), and the long-term viability of growth strategies (Petersen and Rasmussen, 2024). For example, the processes of sensemaking and sensegiving are critical in entrepreneurial contexts, involving the use of gestures, metaphors, rhetoric, and narratives to motivate key stakeholders and assess the ongoing viability of entrepreneurial firm (Cornelissen et al., 2012; Hill & Levenhagen, 1995; Nicholson & Anderson, 2005; Holt & Macpherson, 2010).

The socio-cultural context is crucial for understanding entrepreneurial strategies and practices, given the multidimensional and complex nature of entrepreneurship (Welter et al., 2016; Gartner, 1985). This complexity necessitates a shift from focusing solely on the ‘hero entrepreneur’ to a broader examination of how alternative futures are formulated, explored, and evaluated. Such an approach highlights the importance of collective action and diverse narratives in shaping entrepreneurial outcomes (Dimov, 2007; Muñoz and Dimov, 2023). A deeper focus on cultural practices for sustainable business growth reveals the significance of entrepreneurial design (Dimov, 2021; Gartner and Brush, 2007), network inclusivity (Petersen and Rasmussen, 2021b), opportunity construction through language (Liubertė and Dimov, 2021), and the management of ecosystems, innovation, and digital interactions (Petersen and Rasmussen, 2024; Crammond et al., 2018). Furthermore, the growing role of artificial intelligence in entrepreneurial action (Roundy, 2022; Townsend & Hunt, 2019) underscores the evolving landscape of entrepreneurship. Thus, understanding how entrepreneurial and innovative businesses achieve sustainable growth requires a multifaceted perspective, integrating insights from various levels of analysis and disciplinary viewpoints.
