 Praise

"Those interested in becoming an entrepreneur are presented with an educational dilemma: follow the perspectives of many popular works and media where entrepreneurship is presented as more or less alchemy requiring emulation of a chosen few; or pursue entrepreneurship, as many universities provide, as a specialization of the MBA or other degree built to address the needs of established industry. Unfortunately, entrepreneurs are not effectively developed by either method. This book provides the reader with a window into the minds of those who lead the development of innovative entrepreneurship education. Through each chapter, we walk with the authors through the ever-changing blend of theory, practice, problem-solving, and action that is characteristic of entrepreneurship and see the potential of this process to transform the belief systems and behavior of young and old to engage in a lifetime of entrepreneurial discovery."

-Dr. Gregory Pogue, Deputy Director and Senior Research Scientist, IC2 Institute of The University of Texas at Austin

 "This monograph is an essential read for anyone interested in designing and delivering exceptional learning experiences in any discipline of business and at any level of study. Experienced or neophyte educators, centre directors, department heads, and business school administrators alike will benefit from this profoundly important synthesis of topics relevant to achieving student learning and engagement objectives. For those interested in entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial thinking, this monograph provides meaningful insights into how, not just why, we must weave and integrate Leadership, Organizational Behavior, Operations, IT, and Marketing with the Entrepreneurship curriculum. Long overdue, but so very appreciated!"

-Dr. Derek Hassay, RBC Teaching Professor of Entrepreneurial Thinking, Haskayne School of Business, University of Calgary

 "Before entrepreneurship was the buzz word with the millennials, Babson College had it integrated into every aspect of their curriculum. This monograph lays out the theory and how to accomplish the teaching of entrepreneurship at every level. As a recruiter, I see the difference in Babson students with their skills and understanding of business because of this approach."

-Ms. Helen Brown, Academic Outreach Manager, CUTCO/Vector Corporation

"The power of entrepreneurs to change lives around the world is staggering. I have seen this entrepreneurial power in action during my 25 year career in the direct selling industry and, in particular, witnessing the myriad ways the vision and values of Mary Kay Ash, recognized as one of the greatest female entrepreneurs of all time, has changed women's lives in more than 40 different countries. Mary Kay and the millions of Mary Kay Independent Beauty Consultants who are "Enriching Women's Lives" are "entrepreneurs" – starting their own business, taking risks and seeking rewards, building relationships based on trust and service. It is exciting to know that this book will take the stories of entrepreneurs like Mary Kay and other business greats and the research around their efforts and outline for the reader the important lessons which will fuel the future success of others."

-Mr. Kerry Tassopoulos, Vice President, Public Affairs, Mary Kay Inc.

 "There is no doubt that entrepreneurs have a pivotal role in the economic development of a country. But do we know how to develop them? This book provides answers by examining cutting edge insights centering on entrepreneurial education. A must read for policy makers and university educators aiming to promote entrepreneurship."

-Dr. Bodo Schlegelmilch, Dean of Executive Education, WU Vienna University of Economics and Business
