Abstract
The present paper addresses the state of the art in theory-building on entrepreneurship education through the analysis of the contributions made roughly over the last decade (2001-2011). Theoretical contributions on entrepreneurship education have been increasing and improving as more articles have been published building new theoretical propositions and testing existing theory. However, there is still considerable scope for improvement, in particular through the development of articles that expand knowledge by making new theoretical propositions and testing those propositions in new experimental settings. Theory-building and theory-testing are still rooted in single paradigms, conditioning the generation of more complete and eclectic knowledge.
