    Chapter 7: Corporate Entrepreneurship Education as the Forgotten Stepchild: Revisiting Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities for CE

    Universities across the world are adopting entrepreneurial programs to meet the needs and challenges of the global economy. However, by accident or design, the entrepreneurial programs tend to focus almost exclusively on start-ups and do not necessarily encourage or enable corporate entrepreneurship (CE). Therefore, much of the content is not applicable in a corporate scenario, yet business students typically start working for established companies for initial positions or as continuation of graduate training. With the lack of corporate entrepreneurship modules in the entrepreneurial curriculum, business students are less prepared to enter the job market and incumbent organizations and miss out on opportunities to recruits with corporate entrepreneurship knowledge, skills, and abilities. This is unfortunate, as companies are also affected by the absence of next-generation leaders oriented to CE, which may contribute to the vulnerability of existing organizations facing increasingly dynamic environments. To address this knowledge deficiency and encourage future research on this important topic, we conducted 20 in-depth interviews with CE scholars, educators, and administrators. In this chapter, we synthesize a Corporate Entrepreneurship Education Framework and propose high-potential directions for future research.
