The book includes many aspects that educators will find useful including insights into teaching philosophy, tactics for enhancing pedagogy and appreciation of context in educational practice. For those educators new to entrepreneurship education this is an essential read, while more established teachers can use the book to help reflect on their own experiences.' - Luke Pittaway, Ohio University, USWritten by the author of the successful Teaching Entrepreneurship to Undergraduates (978 1 84980 406 6), this book promotes a learner-centered approach to thinking about how to teach entrepreneurship to postgraduates. A vital resource for lecturers and those interested in entrepreneurship, this book defines the difference between teaching entrepreneurship to postgraduates and teaching it to undergraduates.
