A Reform Strategy for the UK

Abstract: In this chapter we outline a reform strategy to promote an entrepreneurial society in the UK. To put it in the words of the Varieties of Capitalism framework, the UK today represents a distinct liberal market economy with a deregulated environment, flexible labor markets, well-funded elite universities, and strong protection of intellectual property rights.

“…The demonstrated importance of engineering skills for entrepreneurship notwithstanding, more technically proficient graduates do not necessarily become more successful entrepreneurs. Nevertheless, universities can teach students entrepreneurial skills even when they are learning about other topics by making academic research and teaching more action-oriented and aimed at real-world experience; a mindset of trial and error and learning from failure is, after all, something all pupils should embrace (Sanders et al 2020c).

“…Nevertheless, Swedish evidence suggests that it is possible to educate and train successful entrepreneurs already at the compulsory school level, as long as the methods are pragmatic and focus on all stages of the entrepreneurial process (Elert et al 2015). University students probably also benefit from including entrepreneurial aspects in the syllabus regardless of discipline; an experimental approach in which you learn from your mistakes, after all, is something that students can benefit from whether or not they choose an entrepreneurial career (Sanders et al 2020).…”
