Abstract:

Entrepreneurial activities have a social aspect, such as providing solutions to social needs and problems, as well as macro-economic benefits like contributing to the country’s economy. Therefore, entrepreneurship attracts attention of not only individuals but also private and public sectors. This study aims to investigate individuals’ views about their perspective on entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial vision and to compare such views with their entrepreneurial tendency levels. The study mainly explores undergraduate business administration students’ views on entrepreneurship education and makes suggestions for the improvement of entrepreneurship education and for its more effective implementation. To this end, students studying business administration at 37 different universities in Turkey were reached using the simple random sampling method, and analyzes were carried out with 602 questionnaires. The analysis results indicate that individuals with high entrepreneurial tendency need guidance to engage in efficient and productive activities while those with low entrepreneurial tendency need a right entrepreneurial vision. As a result, the study highlights the importance of entrepreneurship education to meet both needs.
