| Physical Description | 1 online resource (xii, 231 pages) : digital, PDF file(s). |
| Notes | Title from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 05 Oct 2015). |
| Contents | Singapore's challenge -- The entrepreneurial ecosystem : a programme like no other -- How can innovative pedagogies be measured? -- Co-defining innovative education : how the instrument was created -- The Singapore results -- Results of the mandarin speaking programme -- Reconciling values : a helical model of innovative processes -- "It is only the hawthorne effect" -- The programme that cannot stand still -- Innovation and the future of the university -- What are the implications of being able to teach innovation? -- Is a new creative class arising? |
| Summary | Is it possible to teach someone to be an entrepreneur? Is innovation something that can be assessed and taught in a classroom? Teaching Innovation and Entrepreneurship answers these and other questions by focusing on a teaching experiment in Singapore at Nanyang Technological University, wherein classes of English-speaking Singaporeans and Mandarin-speaking students from the People's Republic of China were subjected to an 'entrepreneurial eco-system'. Extending from the west coast of the USA to Singapore and Shanghai, this programme subjects students to a wide range of activities, including a four-month business simulation game where teams of students select their favourite inventions and pitch them to real venture capitalists with the inventors present. Drawing on the lessons learned from this highly successful experiment, the book argues that not only is it possible to describe the innovative process, we can also teach it, measure it, evaluate it and model it. |
