Entrepreneurial Learning Dynamics for Technology Driven Entrepreneurship: An Integrative Framework

Entrepreneurial learning emerged as an important yet insufficiently understood area of enquiry in the field of technology-driven entrepreneurship. However, very few studies are available that examine specific processes that take place at individual and collective level in entrepreneurship to transform experience into entrepreneurial development goal. With the aim to cover this gap, this papers develops a new understanding in this area, defining an integrated framework for entrepreneurial learning process happening in the context of technology intensive enterprise. The defined framework encompasses a plurality of building blocks regarding: a) the entrepreneurship outcomes, b) entrepreneurial goals, c) the entrepreneurial learning processes, d) the ontological levels of entrepreneurial learning, and e) the types of entrepreneurial stakeholders. The framework contributes to demonstrate how a “learning lens” can be applied to create avenue for further research in entrepreneurship. Originality in the framework consists in the integration of entrepreneurship with the entrepreneurial learning area providing insights and implications for theory and practices.
