The Relationship Between Entrepreneurship and the Social Sciences

It’s incredibly satisfying to take action and translate your ideas into a profitable business. Entrepreneurship lets people create jobs that are in line with their values, for example, helping others or protecting the environment. This gives them a sense of satisfaction and mental fulfillment which other jobs don’t.

Entrepreneurship is a complex social phenomenon that involves intricate interactions between people and their social environments in which they live, work and play as well as learn. As a result, it is often considered an important field of research for the social sciences. It is also an inter-disciplinary area that draws from the disciplines of law, anthropology and public policy and sociology as well as management and management.

In this article, we outline the research on the education of entrepreneurs for non-business students. We also propose an integrated framework for the existing research that is based on four dimensions of social learning: observational learning, the role played by mentors and peers as well as the entrepreneurial ecosystem as a tool for social learning, and institutional influences on learning. We also discuss how this framework can be used more systematically to guide future research and development in entrepreneurship education. We also present a detailed bibliometric analysis, supported by VOSviewer and Bibliometrix that highlights the most prominent authors, institutions as well as countries, seminar articles journals, themes, and seminars. This provides a comprehensive and precise understanding of the state of the field. The analysis also provides insight into the potential areas for future research and the necessary knowledge gaps.
