“…If business plans are formulated and developed in a way that facilitates and regulates action, they should promote success in the entrepreneurial process (Delmar & Shane 2003, Liao & Gartner 2006. If business plans lack these aspects, their function may be limited to only legitimating the new venture (Honig & Samuelsson 2012). Thus, it is important to consider the action-regulating or action-facilitating function of business plans to better understand their role in the entrepreneurial process.…”

In this review of the psychology of entrepreneurship, we first present meta-analytic findings showing that personality dimensions, such as (general) self-efficacy and need for achievement, and entrepreneurial orientation are highly associated with entrepreneurship (business creation and business success). We then discuss constructs that were developed within entrepreneurship research, such as entrepreneurial alertness, business planning, financial capital as resources, and entrepreneurial orientation, and how they can be better understood by taking a psychological perspective. Next, we elaborate how traditional psychological constructs have been utilized in entrepreneurship and how this may enhance our knowledge in industrial and organizational psychology (with respect to, for example, knowledge, practical intelligence, cognitive biases, goals and visions, personal initiative, passion, and positive and negative affect). Finally, we provide an overall framework useful for the psychology of entrepreneurship, and implications for future research.

Psychological processes (e.g., cognition, motivation, emotions) have emerged as key to understanding entrepreneurial actions and success. Currently, we do not know enough about specific entrepreneurial psychological processes and particularly lack knowledge about their cumulative or interactive effects. Self-regulation offers some promise in understanding these issues. However, self-regulation in entrepreneurship has not been fully explored, which limits our understanding. We address this by introducing an integrated model of episodic self-regulation (the A-CEM-A model) to map the reciprocal regulatory effects of action, cognition, emotion, and motivation in entrepreneurship research and isolate a series of propositions stemming from the model. We further explore the resource implications of the A-CEM-A model for entrepreneurs managing several self-regulatory processes simultaneously. The A-CEM-A model offers a novel and unique insight into entrepreneurial action and psychological processes, and presents a roadmap for future researchers interested in adopting an episodic process perspective in entrepreneurship research.

“…We chose business planning as an example of a concept that is included in all of the textbooks listed in Figure 1, the need for which is being presented as fact. By itself, this may be problematic because business planning is controversial in terms of its purported value in the entrepreneurship process (Honig and Karlsson, 2004;Honig and Samuelsson, 2012). The fact that most of the textbooks we reviewed in Figure 1 had chapters devoted to business planning that were largely unquestioning of their value demonstrates the ideological influence of textbooks on EE pedagogy (Cameron et al, 2003;Mir, 2003).…”

Though the development of wisdom is a primary goal of higher education, it has received little empirical attention in an entrepreneurship education (EE) context. We conduct a preliminary, exploratory investigation into the teaching of wisdom in EE. Applying Sternberg's (1998) balance theory of wisdom, we examine whether entrepreneurship courses deliver on the potential of wisdom development by studying the syllabi of 50 university entrepreneurship courses from around the world. We also examine the contents of the major entrepreneurship textbooks used in EE classrooms today. We find that both textbook use and course design are negatively related to the development of wisdom in the classroom. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.Keywords: Wisdom; entrepreneurship education; management education; syllabi; course outlines; textbooks. A Preliminary Exploration of the Development of Wisdom in Entrepreneurship EducationIberoamerican Journal of Entrepreneurship and Small Business | v.7 | n.1 | p. 01-34 | Jan/Apr. 2018. 2A Revista da ANEGEPE www.regepe.org.br www NTRODUCTIONThe study of wisdom is far-reaching and, over many years, many scholars have undertaken mapping its development, growth, and application. Though its conceptualization is wide in the extant literature (Baden & Higgs, 2015), wisdom has recently been defined broadly as the ability to use judgment to balance one's own good, and the good of others, toward a common goal or outcome (Sternberg, 1990;1998). According to research, wisdom is comprised of such things as knowledge (Baltes & Staudinger, 2000), courage (Solansky, 2014), values (Sternberg, 1998, and being aware of one's own knowledge deficiencies (Ames, 2010), among other things (Govindji, 2014). As such, the development of wisdom is certainly relevant and probably desirable for all who teach and learn at the university level. However, the empirical study of wisdom is limited in most management education contexts (Shotter & Tsoukas, 2014). We would expect that wisdom would be an important asset for entrepreneurs, who must constantly adapt their activities in a dynamic environment.However, our literature review indicates there is scant attention to wisdom in the entrepreneurship education (EE) literature, thus the focus of our study. In the context of this study we define EE much the same way as Fayolle, Gailly, and Lassas-Clerc 3decisions for the good of their organizations (Edelman, Manolova, and Brush, 2008).Though these actions undoubtedly require wisdom, the empirical investigation as to how entrepreneurs develop wisdom has yet to be rigorously undertaken. Providing a preliminary exploration of the study of the development wisdom in EE, and making a call for rigorous research in the area, are the primary purposes of this paper. In other words, we wish to provide a starting point of serious academic investigation and debate regarding the development of wisdom in EE contexts. We do so by providing preliminary evidence from a large-scale, global study of the outcomes of EE...
