Entrepreneurship Development in an Entrepreneurial University—Featured by a Procedure Focused on Building up Complex Capability

Cultivating entrepreneurship in universities are often translated by many Chinese universities simply as compiling and offering students a bunch of courses and programs for college students, while ignoring further research on what kind of capabilities are essentially needed for them to become more entrepreneurial. The paper first analyzes what complex capabilities that a college student, especially a graduate student who has established a solid fundamental knowledge base, should develop in order to be more entrepreneurial or become an entrepreneur in the future. Current graduate education in China cannot fully develop these entrepreneurial capabilities; therefore, this research proposes dedicated programs and courses according to the complex-capability network. A procedure covering five major steps named respectively as Preparation, Competence, Program and Courses, Teaching and Learning, and Evaluation (P->C->PC->TL->E) is designed, which is meaningful for enhancing entrepreneurship education in Chinese universities.
