The document discusses issues with academic approaches to entrepreneurship education. It argues that entrepreneurship programs often focus too heavily on teaching business skills without also providing technical training. This ignores that all businesses require some technology knowledge. It also suggests that teaching students how to create business plans is less important than fostering creativity. Effective entrepreneurship education should use participatory action research and situational research that treats entrepreneurship as a phenomenon rather than just a theory.
