Abstract
Description
This paper advocates and posits the Integrative Model of Innovative
Entrepreneurship Education (IMIEE). This is achievable by exploring
entrepreneurship from the angle of educating students and aspiring
entrepreneurs to become innovative entrepreneurs rather than being imitative
and non-disruptive. However, given the current overly theoretical nature of
teaching schemes across higher institutions today, curriculum needs to be
completely overhauled to incorporate more innovative approach of practical
and hands-on experiences that fosters innovative entrepreneurial practice. An
integrative model for innovative entrepreneurship education becomes
imperative for insight and guidance for pedagogy and practice in a way that
drives institutional sustainability. Thus, this theoretical paper contributes to
existing literature by analysing various empirical works and previous models
such as the Design Thinking Approach, D.I.S.R.U.P.T, the Experiential model,
and National Innovation Systems (NIS). Some shortcomings in previous
models inform the need to posit an integrative model that synthesises vital
elements.
