How do entrepreneurial faculties drive the rapid explosion of entrepreneurship?

The energizing process for faculty and students alike is also driving the rapid explosion of entrepreneurship education worldwide.First,the field seems to attract,by its substance and nature,highly entrepreneurial people.Historically,entrepreneurial thinkers and doers have been few and far between in the vast majority of schools in the United States and abroad.These creative,can-do,resilient,and passionate people bring their entrepreneurial ways of thinking,acting,doing,and building to their courses,their research,and their institutions.They are the change agents-the movers and shakers.Second,their entrepreneurial bent brings a new mind-set to universities and schools:They think and act like owners.They are creative,courageous,and determined to make it work and happen;they build teams,practice what they preach,are institution builders,and do not let myopic allegiance to their disciplines impede becoming better educators.Students,deans,and colleagues can be energized by the leading-by-example pace they establish.Third,entrepreneurship faculties constantly think in terms of opportunity.Entrepreneurial faculty realize that money follows superior teams and superior opportunities,so they create them.They find ways to innovate,raise money,and implement curricula in resource-strapped universities.They match innovative ideas with wealthy entrepreneurs and their foundations to raise money and launch programs.Fourth,they create powerful strategic alliances with others-colleagues,alumni,and entrepreneurs by practicing the teamwork principles of entrepreneurship they teach.There is something exciting and compelling about being around highly intelligent and creative entrepreneurs as the centerpiece of your subject matter.They invariably inspire other faculty and students as well.
