The Relationship Between Entrepreneurship and the Social Sciences

The act of pursuing ones own ideas and transform them into a business is an intensely gratifying pursuit. Entrepreneurship lets people create careers that are directly in line with their personal values, such as helping others or preserving the environment. This can bring a psychological and emotional satisfaction that other jobs cannot.

Entrepreneurship is a complex social phenomenon that involves a variety of interactions between humans and their social environments in which they live, work and play, as well as learn. As a result, it is often regarded as an important area of study for the social sciences. It is also an interdisciplinary field that draws upon the disciplines of sociology, management, law and public policy, anthropology and management of not-for-profit organizations.

We review the research on entrepreneurial education for non-business students in this article and provide a framework for existing research that is based on the four dimensions of social-learning – observational-learning, how peers and mentors, the entrepreneurial ecosystem, as a platform for social-learning, and institutional influences. We then discuss how this framework can be utilized in a more systematic fashion to guide research and the development of entrepreneurial education in the coming years. We also present a comprehensive bibliographic analysis, aided by VOSviewer, Bibliometrix and highlighting the most prominent authors and institutions ukpip.org/generated-post-2/ and countries, seminar articles journals, and topics. This provides a complete and thorough understanding of the current situation in the field. The analysis also offers information on future research areas and knowledge gaps.
