“…This finding is consistent with previous literature on the subject (R. Lee & Jones, 2008; Rae, 2006; Rae & Carswell, 2001; Taylor & Thorpe, 2004; Wasim, Vyas, et al, 2022).

“…However, one consistent theme that emerged from the data was the significant role played by social networks in the learning process and the acquisition of valuable information for entrepreneurs. This finding is consistent with previous literature on the subject (R. Lee & Jones, 2008;Rae, 2006;Rae & Carswell, 2001;Taylor & Thorpe, 2004;Wasim, Vyas, et al, 2022).

This research aims to examine the extent to which the way entrepreneurs learn is reflected in entrepreneurship education, highlighting the existing gap between the literature on entrepreneurial learning and the practice of entrepreneurship education. To explore entrepreneurial learning in-depth, we adopted an interpretivist-constructivist approach that involves participant observation at coworking spaces and semi-structured interviews with entrepreneurs. Data were subsequently analyzed using thematic analysis. Major findings indicate that social networks play a vital role in facilitating entrepreneurial learning, with context and network serving as essential learning mechanisms. However, these elements are often disregarded in traditional entrepreneurship education approaches. This study highlights a gap in the literature where the focus of entrepreneurial learning is primarily on entrepreneurs, while entrepreneurship education primarily focuses on students and educators. The study’s contribution is its emphasis on the importance of social networks in entrepreneurial learning and its potential for redesigning entrepreneurship education. By bridging the gap between entrepreneurial learning and entrepreneurship education, it is possible to create educational approaches that more closely mimic how entrepreneurs learn in real life, potentially leading to more impactful entrepreneurial activity.

“…Figure 2 evidences the location of the case studies and the elements which support the analysis on the influence of geographic location. According to Yin (2017), case studies enable exploring a phenomenon in depth considering the context in which it occurs and they allow to build an archive of descriptive material rich enough to allow subsequent reinterpretations, as entrepreneurship is very context dependent (Wasim et al 2022).…”

There is a clear gap in the literature, comparing entrepreneurship in urban and rural areas and analysing distinct differences between them, impacting their survival and growth. A case study approach was adopted, with six cases on urban and rural Scottish enterprises. This study aims to find the motivations and classifications of success for urban and rural entrepreneurs. These contrasting motivations and conceptions of success have been linked to the way companies strategise. Our findings contribute to the literature by adding an understanding of the motivations of entrepreneurs in rural and urban businesses, respectively. Further, the study was conducted in Scotland, which adds a further understanding of the motivations of entrepreneurs within the country specifically, which can be used in further research within the country.
