A Framework for Developing and Assessing the Global Entrepreneurial Mindset
Berneking, James; Dewalt, Samantha
Assessment Update, v35 n3 p1-2, 14-15 May-Jun 2023
In recent years the focus on entrepreneurial mindset development has gained traction with academics and practitioners. This emerging approach recognizes the value in developing entrepreneurial thinkers and actors to promote economic growth and well-being after graduation (Ilonen and Heinonen 2018; Kuratko 2005; Nabi et al. 2017; Rae, Martin, Antcliff, and Hannon 2012). Lehigh University pioneered this approach with the founding of the Baker Institute for Entrepreneurship, Creativity & Innovation. Lehigh@NasdaqCenter views entrepreneurship education as the development of mindsets, skills, and agency that help all individuals maximize their entrepreneurial potential, from starting a new venture, innovating within an existing organization, to becoming an artist or activist, and everything in between. While the evidence in support of this holistic and student-centered approach to entrepreneurial education is mounting, the impact remains difficult to measure. Scholars and practitioners agree there is a lack of understanding or a common framework to assess entrepreneurial outcomes beyond venture creation, particularly in the affective domain where the entrepreneurial mindset is key (Fayolle and Gailly 2008; Ilonen and Heinonen 2018; Gedeon 2017). As a result, the Global Entrepreneurial Mindset (GEM) Learning Framework was developed to assess a more holistic approach to entrepreneurial learning, with a better understanding of learning in the affective domain. The GEM Learning Framework draws on findings from an entrepreneurial mindset research study conducted by Lehigh University, Nasdaq Entrepreneurial Center, and Technical University Dortmund, which revealed 11 core constructs of an entrepreneurial mindset (Dewalt, Dinh, and Obberauch 2022). Furthermore, the GEM Learning Framework is informed by foundational learning theories, most notably Bloom's Taxonomy (Bloom et al. 1956), the Kirkpatrick Model (1959), as well as Gedeon's (2017) goal-setting framework. This article outlines these learning models and their influence on the GEM Framework.
