“…Evidence of creativity spans many centuries, if not millennia, and so it is important to also identify any longitudinal historical factors which have shaped it. Creativity has been linked to genius and in science, business and art, a number of individuals have attained heroic status through their creative philosophies, discoveries, practices and products (Puccio 1991;Eysenck 2008). In addition to being a personality characteristic, creativity has been grounded sociologically, thereby acknowledging its human rather than scientific input.…”

Abstract:This paper evaluates the contribution of creativity to entrepreneurship theory and practice in terms of building an holistic and transdisciplinary understanding of its impact. Acknowledgement is made of the subjectivist theory of entrepreneurship which embraces randomness, uncertainty and ambiguity but these factors should then be embedded in wider business and social contexts. The analysis is synthesised into a number of themes, from consideration of its definition, its link with personality and cognitive style, creativity as a process and the use of biography in uncovering data on creative entrepreneurial behaviour. Other relevant areas of discussion include creativity's link with motivation, actualisation and innovation, as well as the interrogation of entrepreneurial artists as owner/managers. These factors are embedded in a critical evaluation of how creativity contributes to successful entrepreneurship practice. Modelling, measuring and testing entrepreneurial creativity are also considered and the paper includes detailed consideration of several models of creativity in entrepreneurship. Recommendations for future theory and practice are also made. Introduction:

“…Numerous studies show that the innovative activities of individuals produce changes in reality (Amabile 1988;Woodman and Schoenfeldt 1989;Puccio 1991). Creativity, manifesting itself in the form of unexpected, original and unique results, is a force that generates something that it better than what existed before.…”

This research is intended to answer the questions on how universities implement Entrepreneurship courses to students and how universities can instill and develop student creativity to change the mindset from being an employee to an entrepreneur. This study employed a phenomenological approach of a qualitative research design since it can describe the meaning for several individuals of their lived experiences of a concept or a phenomenon. For this study, the researcher interviewed university students to gain information about their experiences in the process of learning how to become entrepreneurs and how the Entrepreneurship Lecture is implemented in their colleges. The researcher also interviewed Student Affairs Managers to dig deeper their perspectives on student entrepreneurship. In order to make this research more objective, the researcher also interviewed Entrepreneurship Lecturers to gain information about how the entrepreneurship lecture should be conducted. The research proved that most of the universities still teach Entrepreneurship theoretically. There are also still limited universities which provide incubator facilities for the start up and most of the students still have the mindset of becoming employees not entrepreneurs so they haven"t optimized the creative thinking. This mindset needs to be changed. For future research, the researcher recommends to dig deeper the issues on how entrepreneurship program is developed in universities with different approaches to be adopted.
