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.
