• W290799906 abstract "ABSTRACT We report on an initiative between global firms and universities worldwide to empower university students to teach ethical and sustainable business principles in their communities. The program is entitled Students In Free Enterprise, commonly known as SIFE. These community-based entrepreneurship educational projects span the globe, and we document significant effectiveness, both for the community recipients and students. We conclude that the SIFE empowerment program can be effective in highly developed industrialized nations such as Germany, the United States, South Korea and Australia, as well as in developing countries such as China, Malaysia, and India. INTRODUCTION There is evidence of a strong correlation between educational level achieved and high income over a lifetime (De Faoite, Henry, Johnston, & Van der Sijde, 2003), and we ground our efforts in entrepreneurship education in the assumption that taught skills will translate into greater job opportunities. However, not all education is immediately transferable to useable practical skills, and literature has described education institutions and business organizations as two isolated learning arenas (Leitch & Harrison, 1999). It is of interest to investigate a program where the emphasis is on self-generated practical managerial skills of students, through a program of empowering these students to perform challenging community education projects. The desire for a shift from classroom-based teaching to facility action learning has been widely expressed for entrepreneurship education (Shepherd & Douglas, 1996; Formica, 2002; Gorman, Hanlon, & King, 1997). We are curious if such action-learning approaches can develop suitable skill in a discipline where many elements are creative. Action learning has been underpinning an increasing amount of training practice throughout the world for nearly seven decades since its genesis in the work of Reg Revans (Zuber-Skerritt, 2002). A definition of action learning is necessary for understanding. The basic concepts of active and experiential learning, as defined by the Educational Resource Information Center (ERIC), are as follows: Active learning: Learning in which the learner is the primary driving force, with the instructor (if one is present) as facilitator of the process. Experiential learning: Learning by doing-includes knowledge and skills acquired outside of book/lecture learning situations, through work, play and other life experiences. These environments have ranged from private companies (Marquardt, 2004) to public sector organizations (Blackler & Kennedy, 2004) and even to development programs in Third World nations (Mayoux, 2005). Furthermore, in recent decades, action learning has been introduced as a complementary and/or alternative means of educational instruction in some schools (Wilson, 1992) and tertiary institutions throughout the world (Brunetti, Petrell, & Sawada, 2003). For example, the Small Business Institute (SBI) program began as a cooperative venture, in large part, funded by the United States Small Business Administration (SBA) and approximately 20 universities. The venture has developed to include as many as 500 programs at colleges and universities in the 50 states and several U.S. territories. The SBI program bridges the gap between the subject competency provided by the colleges and universities and the entry-level training firms critically need (Estrada, 2005). As a concept, the action-learning approach provides opportunities for participants to meaningfully reflect on academic subjects (Meyer & Jones, 1993). Starting with simple tasks, possibly in class, the effort then develops into long-term projects (Bonwell & Sutherland, 1996). Our review has considered projects which were performed over a period from a few weeks in duration to more than 18 months. The complexity of these projects is quite high, ranging from the introduction of new harvesting methods to older farmers to the development of self-sustaining businesses within impoverished populations. …" @default.
