In this course, students will examine theoretical perspectives and research related to the field of entrepreneurial leadership in education. The education sector, despite the many transformative changes in the last 20 years, remains culturally traditional. Therefore, 21st century education leaders must learn to utilize entrepreneurial thinking, a sub-discipline of management as well as organizational theory, as another tool for innovation and organizational change. Students will study theories of entrepreneurship found in business, education, and other social sciences. They will also research entrepreneurial concepts and leadership traits through the disciplines of sociology, economics, and organizational management. Specific entrepreneurial research theories and practices, such as intra-preneurship and embedding of entrepreneurial leaders into educational institutions, will also be studied as means for promoting social justice, access, and equity for all learners.
