Frontiers of entrepreneurship education: interdisciplinarity need revealed by a case study

In light of the global recognition of the importance of entrepreneurship, research is crucial for examining various aspects of the role of entrepreneurial education.This study considers education as an essential driver of entrepreneurial behaviour and looks into emerging frontiers for strengthening entrepreneurship curricula.The study aims to outline the future frontiers of entrepreneurship education development.The study employed a qualitative research approach, collecting data through a focus group discussion with academics at a selected university in the Western Cape.The authors found that entrepreneurship education is shifting from a narrow focus to one that spans multiple disciplines.It was revealed that the interdisciplinary perspective of entrepreneurship is growing, and all students in institutions of higher education, including those in the arts and engineering disciplines, benefit from entrepreneurship education.The authors recommend an interdisciplinary perspective and encourage all higher education specialities to include entrepreneurship studies.
