Dear ENT, IM and MED listserv members,
Entrepreneurship courses are sprouting up everywhere.
More than 20 studies have examined the effectiveness of these courses in the past decade.
Unfortunately, there is no conclusive evidence showing that entrepreneurship education helps to produce more or better entrepreneurs.
Please join us for a PDW in Chicago (#114, Friday August 7 at 5:30PM) to develop ideas and specific plans to address this important issue.
This workshop brings together leading scholars in the field, who will work collaboratively with participants, to develop some common understanding regarding how to develop future research, and from that, how to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of entrepreneurship education, world-wide.
Also, for those who might be interested in collaborating on an international study of entrepreneurship education outcomes, we will be meeting informally after the PDW over drinks and/or dinner.
Full details are available at:

Sincerely,
