Bridging the entrepreneur educational and training gap in growing market sectors: a review of the IT industry in India

Abstract

This paper highlights the need for developing countries to introduce enterprise education. Specifically, the situation in India is examined. The suggestion is made that, in order for governments to grow companies, and even industries, that are sustainable, there must be a focus on training initiatives that develop entrepreneurial business skills to complement technical skills. Four major implications (climate for success, skills training, accessing funds, and networking) are discussed.
