| Abstract : |
Traditionally, the Argentinean educational system was not characterized to promote nor incentive the necessary skills to develop entrepreneurs. The society was not educated with an entrepreneurial attitude given that education and social aspiration were oriented to work mainly in large corporations. In the last decade, this trend started to reverse showing changes in the university education system. A sign is the increased interest in entrepreneurship within the educational system and the society in general. Also there is a progressive increase of courses, chairs, incubators and other activities oriented to promote the area of entrepreneurship. This phenomenon happens in both public and private universities. Basically, there is an increase in academic supply and in the transformation of the traditional role of the university as the generator of qualified labor that can contribute to environmental changes.
This paper has the objective of being the first formal study to analyze the evolution of the university entrepreneurship education in Argentina during the past decade. Also there are explanations of the reasons and factor that contribute to the development and consolidation of this phenomenon.
There is no doubt about the potential progress and future development of this discipline at every level. However, there is a need to face aspects as the institutional academic legitimacy, the chairs funding and the training for teachers.
