@article { , title = {Role typologies for enterprising education: the professional artisan?}, abstract = {Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to examine how the context, approach and teaching techniques used for entrepreneurship education need to reflect the different roles that encompass enterprise. Design/methodology/approach - The authors analyse and reflect upon what attributes, qualities, skills and knowledge are required for the different roles involved in entrepreneurship. Findings - From the analysis the authors identify role typologies and argue that teaching entrepreneurship needs to produce a combination of the creative talents of the artist, the skills and ability of the artisan, yet include the applied knowledge of the technician with the know-what of the professional. The authors then present some examples of pedagogies in entrepreneurship that might be used to develop the skills required for these roles. Practical implications - The authors demonstrate why the teaching of entrepreneurship requires a combination of theory and practice. Originality/value - The paper shows that a different approach to understanding entrepreneurial pedagogy may be useful for educators and students.}, doi = {10.1108/14626000810871664}, issn = {1462-6004}, issue = {2}, journal = {Journal of small business and enterprise development}, note = {COMPLETED}, pages = {259-273}, publicationstatus = {Published}, publisher = {Emerald}, url = {http://hdl.handle.net/10059/213}, volume = {15}, keyword = {Education, Entrepreneurs, Teaching methods, Enterprise education, Teaching entrepreneurship, Entrepreneurial pedagogy}, year = {2008}, author = {Anderson, Alistair R. and Jack, Sarah L.} }
