Education, International, EntrepreneurshipAbstract
Purpose: The aim of the study was to assess
the relationship between education and
international entrepreneurship in India.
Methodology: This study adopted a desk
methodology. A desk study research design is
commonly known as secondary data
collection. This is basically collecting data
from existing resources preferably because of
its low cost advantage as compared to a field
research. Our current study looked into
already published studies and reports as the
data was easily accessed through online
journals and libraries.
Findings: Research into the relationship
between education and international
entrepreneurship in India reveals several key
findings. Firstly, education plays a crucial
role in fostering entrepreneurial skills and
attitudes, with higher levels of education
often associated with increased
entrepreneurial activity. Moreover,
individuals with tertiary education are more
likely to engage in international
entrepreneurship, indicating that advanced
educational attainment correlates positively
with venturing into global markets.
Additionally, access to quality education,
particularly in fields like business and
technology, equips entrepreneurs with the
knowledge and skills necessary to navigate
the complexities of international business
environments. However, disparities in
educational opportunities persist across
socioeconomic groups, potentially limiting
the pool of potential international
entrepreneurs. Bridging these gaps through
targeted educational interventions could
contribute to a more inclusive and dynamic
international entrepreneurial landscape in
India.
Implications to Theory, Practice and
Policy: Human capital theory, social learning
theory and resource-based view may be use
to anchor future studies on assessing the
relationship between education and
international entrepreneurship in India.
Design and implement tailored educational
programs that equip aspiring entrepreneurs
with the knowledge, skills, and competencies
needed to succeed in global markets. Develop
supportive policies at the local, national, and
international levels to facilitate international
entrepreneurship initiatives.
