Community colleges as incubators of innovation : unleashing opportunities for communities and students

Corbin, Rebecca A., (editor.). Thomas, Ron (Ronald E.), (editor.).

Summary: "This book addresses the urgent need for community colleges to prioritize entrepreneurship education both to remain relevant in a changing economy and to give graduate students the flexible and interdisciplinary mindsets needed for the future of society. It argues that entrepreneurial education should be offered broadly to a wide range of students, and across all disciplines; defines the key constructs for achieving this objective; and describes how to create entrepreneurial learning environments." -- From publisher.
