Abstract
In the global economy, increasingly interdependent national economies must contain innovative and change-oriented firms if they are to remain or become globally competitive. Sustained business growth and profitability requires managers to exercise the spirit of entrepreneurship. Accordingly we argue that entrepreneurship has come of age as a business 'interdisciplinary' subject area and should be at the heart of business education. But unlike most of the traditional business disciplines, entrepreneurship is less of a science and more of an art, such that the method of teaching entrepreneurship (and management education more generally), needs to be adapted to suit. Many business schools may be failing in their duty to develop the spirit of entrepreneurship, even in their entrepreneurship courses.
