Special Issue of Technological Forecasting and Social Change

Educating Scientist and Engineers for Technology Entrepreneurship in Our Knowledge Based Economies

Guest Editors: Wadid Lamine, Sarfraz Mian, Alain Fayolle, Jonathan Linton

Educators are increasingly being called upon to adapt education systems to prepare young scientist and engineers for the broader participation in the global knowledge economy. Entrepreneurship Education needs to meet the challenge of preparing people from non-social science backgrounds to contribute more directly to the social and technological transformations and the associated challenges and opportunities that our economies are faced with as a consequence. There is a need to offer/develop tools, knowledge, skills, and competences to students in order to meet the evolution of the economy and social structures as they change to better align with the reality of a global knowledge society. Developing "entrepreneurial skills" in primary, secondary, post-secondary and continuing education is important not only for future managers of new ventures, but for established enterprises as students need flexibility in both knowledge, social skills and adaptability to become more effective team members and managers to better support and develop innovation in organizations and society.

Increasing discussion and funding of translational science, indicate the ongoing opportunities and pressures to provide science and engineering students with a commercialization skill set more specifically and entrepreneurship and social science skill sets more generally. Information Communication Technologies (ICT) have simultaneously created opportunities for innovation in development and delivery of skills. ICT provides a unique opportunity to enhance and reinvent Science and Technology Entrepreneurship Education (STEE). It democratizes access to high-quality learning experiences and provides a large and widespread potential audience for entrepreneurship educators. The emergence of free online learning resources, such as Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs), text, audio, interactive simulations, and games has been particularly useful for delivering digital content both in and out of the classroom. Free online courses on entrepreneurship also allow faculty and students far removed from vibrant entrepreneurial ecosystems to access a wide range of supports, enablers and content.

This special issue aims to shed light on how universities and other organizations can adapt to the new social and technological challenges in curriculum and instruction, thereby, seizing upon entrepreneurial opportunities in the emerging knowledge society. This special issue explores the impact of the digital transformations and social evolution on approaching science and engineering embedded entrepreneurship education at the institutional and individual level. The issue aims to add to the body of knowledge in entrepreneurship education by important topics, including:

- How digitalization impacts STEE education?

- What are the major challenges facing entrepreneurial university, educators and students due to digital disruption?

- STEE for globally dispersed students in virtual teams to address societal challenges

- Online learning resources: balance between in and out classroom

- Online entrepreneurship courses assessment

- How the developments of online learning contents influence social relationships between professors, colleagues, students and hierarchy?

- How digitalization impacts entrepreneurial support mechanisms?

- Virtual vs. real student incubation space

- How digitalization impacts ecosystem for supporting student startups?

- How do technological changes impact the learning outcomes expected by established firms?

- How do technological changes impact the processes of entrepreneurial opportunity identification and exploitation?

- How do technological evolutions impact entrepreneurial social network: virtual vs. real network?

- Distance versus proximity – what works best when?

- How the needs of science and engineering students are different from management and social science students?

- Developing and understanding potential unanticipated consequences of science and technology and its impact on society

- What are the roles of non-management education (social sciences, arts and humanities) in high tech entrepreneurship

- How does a social (non-economic) entrepreneurship focus affect entrepreneurship education and when is this a good thing?

- Does stage of development, economic and political system impact what sort of education at the intersection of sciences and social sciences is most appropriate?

- How is the interplay between policy, regulation and emerging technologies best considered in an educational environment?

- How universities are coping with this rapid and global change in pedagogical approach and skills requirements?

All submissions will go through the journal's standard peer-review process.

Special Issue

EFFECTIVE MODELS OF SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY ENTREPRENEURSHIP EDUCATION

Guest Editors:

Phillip Phan, The Johns Hopkins Carey Business School

Entrepreneurship Education is a focal point in the promotion of entrepreneurship awareness (Fayolle, 2013). It plays an important role in shaping the entrepreneurial intentions, increases the potential to undertake startups and plan their growth strategies. Moreover, by transferring entrepreneurial skills to this audience (Barr et al., 2009; Phan et al. 2009), Science and Technology Entrepreneurship Education (STEE) might raise their awareness about the opportunities and challenges of entrepreneurship to promote technology transfer (Markham et al., 2000). It will empower them to shape their future by being more entrepreneurial in their activities and careers and imparts preparedness to undertake entrepreneurial challenges. However, and in spite of the face validity of teaching technology entrepreneurship, there has traditionally been only a weak link between the fields of research, entrepreneurship education and technology transfer and commercialization (Nelson & Monsen, 2014). Prior research suggests that one could gain by drawing more heavily from technology management and the economics and sociology of innovation when formulating explanations for S&T entrepreneurship.

Until recently, in the technology management education literature, traditionally there has been less emphasis on venture creation and entrepreneurial technology-based firms. For example a recent special issue of AMLE (Sept 2009) provided background information and focused on trends in technology management education, however, it has a weak link to the entrepreneurship education as such. Consequently, STEE remains a relatively unexplored topic that offers a variety of opportunities for scholarly inquiry (Kingon et al., 2002). To bridge the gaps this special issue calls on entrepreneurship and technology management scholars to concentrate their efforts to help create and further strengthen connections between technology management education and entrepreneurship education fields. Therefore, with this special issue we aim to focus on better understanding of how the different dimensions of STEE such as context, programs, ontology, axiology, pedagogies, teaching models, contents and support mechanisms impact or might have a bearing on entrepreneurial process in S&T environments (Fayolle & Gailly, 2008)? By exploring the gaps between prevailing teaching and learning practices and actual needs we intend to highlight the challenges facing technocrats in becoming well trained and successful entrepreneurs.

We aim to present cutting edge research in STEE that explores conceptual and empirical perspectives through a wide variety of theoretical and methodological approaches by addressing the following topics:

- How does one design teaching models in the context of STEE?

- How can STEE processes help to shape the identification, exploitation and assessment of entrepreneurial opportunities?

- What could be the best and most appropriated pedagogies in STEE?

- How can universities develop integration processes among STEE and technology transfer offices, incubators, and science parks?

- What are resource implications for universities attempting to develop interdisciplinary STEE?

This is not an exhaustive list and other relevant studies are welcome.
