How universityâs activities support the development of studentsâ entrepreneurial abilities: case of Slovenia and Croatia
The paper reports how the offered university activities support the development of studentsâ entrepreneurship abilities. Data were collected from 306 students from Slovenian and 609 students from Croatian universities. The study reduces the gap between theoretical researches about the academic entrepreneurship education and individual empirical studies about the studentâs estimation of the offered academic activities for development of their entrepreneurial abilities. The empirical research revealed differences in Slovenian and Croatian studentsâ perception about (a) needed academic activities and (b) significance of the offered university activities, for the development of their entrepreneurial abilities. Additionally, the results reveal that the impact of studentsâ gender and study level on their perception about the importance of the offered academic activities is not significant for most of the considered activities. The main practical implication is focused on further improvement of universitiesâ entrepreneurship education programs through selection and utilization of activities which can fill in the recognized gaps between the studentsâ needed and the offered academic activities for the development of studentsâ entrepreneurial abilities
