Sažetak
This study aims to investigate the impact of three established
approaches to entrepreneurship education, Theory, Competition
and Incubation, on entrepreneurial entry and performance.
Propensity score matching is used to compare three cohorts from
the alumni of a business college in China who completed entrepreneurship
courses with their respective matched sample of
similar individuals who did not. The findings suggest that
Incubation significantly increases the probability of new venture
creation. Theory, and participation in entrepreneurial business
plan Competition(s) positively affect only those students that are
non-management majors. Analysis including multiple linear
regression indicates that Incubation has a positive impact on new
venture sales revenue, profit before tax and the number of
employees. The effect of Theory and Competition on new venture
performance is not significant. This study extends the current
knowledge of entrepreneurship education by providing new
empirical evidence for the proposition that entrepreneurship can
be learned, and the relative impact of these three types of education.
The findings have direct implications for policymakers, educational
executives, researchers, and others interested in
encouraging entrepreneurial activity.
