Potentials of Entrepreneurial Design Thinking® for Entrepreneurship Education

Abstract

Although design thinking becomes increasingly attractive for business management, it has not yet been sufficiently recognized and discussed in the context of entrepreneurship and especially not in the context of entrepreneurship education. The objective of this contribution is to conceptually analyze the potentials of EDT as being a rather new method for entrepreneurship education in universities. The results of our work show that the characteristics of EDT can enhance entrepreneurship education. In addition we reveal that EDT offers beneficial guidelines for the design of entrepreneurship education programs.
