摘要:AbstractEntrepreneurship education has met new challenges in the last few years. Several studies show that successful entrepreneurs are important for economical growth. However, there is evidence that university education does not always fulfill the goal of adequately preparing young people for this task. Competence development rather than a mere acquisition of knowledge and skills has been identified as an important key concept. This is the starting point for a study performed by Weber and Funke. They discuss how entrepreneurship education programs meet (or do not meet) this task and present an alternative approach for entrepreneurship education. In this comment, the approach is integrated in current views on a competence-oriented education and discussed with respect to its innovative potential.
