Key Points - Summary

This workshop contributes to share educational practices that are relevant for the professional development of (prospective) entrepreneurs, with particular attention to university students. We aim to move beyond the traditional focus on starting, growing and success, by incorporating strategies for dealing with and becoming resilient in the face of business adversity and failure. Specifically in this workshop, we use our own learning modules from business failure and closure as a starting point to expand into lessons and discussions that are important for a) educators in other contexts, and, b) advisors for entrepreneurs.

Target audience

• Entrepreneurship educators , especially those on applied entrepreneurship or involved with experiential programs where students create and run businesses.
• Entrepreneurship researchers, interested in designing research projects incorporating modules where students are also researchers.
• Business and startup advisors, looking to include innovative ways and vicarious learning in support packages for entrepreneurs
