Abstract
"This thesis presents a collection of four articles which focus on programme design and learning outcomes in entrepreneurship education and training. I adopt a multi-theoretic, socio-cognitive lens to study three different target populations in entrepreneurship education: women, engineering students and middle managers. A conceptual model of entrepreneurship education teaching (Fayolle and Gailly, 2008) encapsulates the research questions and acts as a unifying framework for these four articles. Theories and concepts from the disparate fields of feminism, educational science, team processes, management development and training evaluation are drawn on to provide useful insights into the development of entrepreneurs. I conclude by drawing convergent lessons from these four articles for future research in entrepreneurship education research."
