AHMED, MOHAMOUD MOHAMED2024-09-042024-09-042023-092015121005https://bspace.buid.ac.ae/handle/1234/2682The spread and growth of entrepreneurship education in higher education institutions worldwide have been nothing but a phenomenon in the past few decades. Academics, practitioners, and policymakers view entrepreneurship as a vehicle for economic growth & renewal, job creation, addressing pressing social issues, and achieving countries’ national agendas. This sentiment explains the stout support for entrepreneurship education programs around the world. Nevertheless, entrepreneurship is a multifaceted phenomenon as there seems to be no agreed-upon definition of what entrepreneurship – hence entrepreneurship education- means. Despite growing evidence that places entrepreneurship & innovation on top of the policymakers’ agenda in the UAE, little is known about the nature, structures, and aims of entrepreneurship education programs or the views, perspectives, and practices of educators, entrepreneurs, and administrators involved in these programs.enThesisProfessor Christopher Hill
