Entrepreneurship in all of its aspects, connotations, and applications has undoubtedly become a major force for new and sustainable wealth creation in both emerging and developed economies. This notion has been encouraging universities to incorporate entrepreneurship-related competencies into the curriculums of almost all subjects, as researchers, educators, and administrators alike acknowledge that students must be fully engaged and prepared to thrive in a society increasingly defined by innovation.

In this context, the primary challenge consists in how to inspire or work beyond the mental limits in the classroom; to determine which learning platforms are required or useful to unlock and stimulate creativity and eliminate the human aversion tofailure.

Featuring contributions and case studies academics and practitioners across a wide spectrum of learning environments, the authors address such fundamental questions as:

• Can educators teach entrepreneurship?
• Can universities teach that failure may be a necessary part of this process?
• Is the education or the conditions created in the surrounding environment the key factor?
• Is there an entrepreneurial education tool or methodology that could help students to develop an entrepreneurial attitude or mind-set?

This book confirms that education is a positive response to all of these questions, and serves as a tribute to the professors and academic institutions that envision entrepreneurship and innovation as a new driving force for global education and development.
