The interplay between entrepreneurship education and regional knowledge potential in forming entrepreneurial intentions
Sascha Walter and Dirk Dohse
Abstract: This study examines how the effect of entrepreneurship
education on students’ entrepreneurial intentions is (1) contingent on the
mode of education (active, e.g. business plan seminar, vs reflective, e.g.
theory lectures), (2) contingent on the regional context and (3)
complemented by individual-level influences such as role models or work
experience. Results show that active modes of entrepreneurship education
directly increase intentions and attitudes, whereas the impact of
reflective modes depends on the regional context. Parental role models and
work experience are found to complement entrepreneurship education in
different ways. The findings have important implications for theory
building as well as for the practice of teaching entrepreneurship
