- W3947225 abstract "Introduction While there has been significant research on various aspects of entrepreneurship during the past decade, only a limited number of research studies have focused on the performance and results of entrepreneurship education. The need for research into this area is well documented (Hawkes 1981, Vesper 1985, and Rosa and McAlpine 1991). Questions which currently surface are; can entrepreneurship be taught? How can potential entrepreneurs be identified? Why should anyone choose to undertake the risks, financial burden and general disruption to social life which setting up and running one's entails? In particular, why should a graduate with a variety of career options open to him/her make this choice? These are some of the questions addressed in this paper. A good idea is often the beginning of a good business. Young people are just as likely to come up with a good idea as anyone else. In Ireland this potential has been recognised, an excellent scheme has been introduced by the Irish Development Authority (IDA) to help bring such ideas to fruition. The IDA Student Enterprise Award, instigated in 1984 and run in association with RTE Television (the Irish Broadcasting Authority)is open to all full-time undergraduates attending any third level educational institution. The purpose of the scheme is to stimulate entrepreneurial spirit among young people. It is about giving students some hard exposure to the world of by providing them with an opportunity to demonstrate their ability to formulate a plan and develop a idea. Recognising the need for more research in the area of graduate entrepreneurship and drawing on the reserves of Irish third level institutions and, in particular, data available from the Irish Industrial Development Authority (IDA) on students who participated in the IDA Annual Student Enterprise Award 1984-1988, this study lays the groundwork for assessing the productivity of enterprise development initiatives taken at the undergraduate level. The research project seeks to establish that education is a vital ingredient in the development of an entrepreneurial base. Higher education is a decided advantage in coping with the complexities and problems of modern business. Highly qualified graduates are a striking source of potential entrepreneurial talent. There is a need to investigate the measures that promote the emergence of graduate entrepreneurs in greater numbers. The Literature on Graduate Entrepreneurship Jackson and Vitberg (1987) report that college graduates and students are increasingly disenchanted with career prospects as organisational employees. Intense competition, cost cutting pressures, and acquisitions and takeovers, have resulted in large company restructuring. This has undermined traditional values such as employee loyalty, security and ownership of results. Consequently, more and more students view the possibility of starting and operating their as a viable alternative to being employed in an established company (Duffy and Stevenson 1984). Recent surveys support this view. Scott and Twomey (1988), based on data collected from English students, reported that 25% had a idea and that 41% aspired to self employment. Figures by Harrison and Hart (1992) revealed that 47% of a sample of Northern Ireland students expressed a positive desire to run their business. Curran and Blackburn (1989) report similar findings from another survey of English students. Attitudes towards enterprise and small are positive. Karr (1988) reports that 46% of college students consider a business of one's own an excellent way to get ahead. Sandholtz (1990) reveals that of 1,000 MBA students surveyed at the University of Pittsburgh, 44% wanted to become an independent entrepreneur. Hills and Welsh (1986) in a survey of almost 2,000 students found that 80% expressed an interest in taking one or more courses in entrepreneurship. …" @default.
