| Summary: | Entrepreneurship education programs are proliferating in universities and colleges in the country due to
the importance and increasing acceptance of entrepreneurship. However, one may argue the purpose of having
entrepreneurship education to those who are not interested in starting a business. What do entrepreneurship subjects
contribute towards students generally? The purpose of entrepreneurship education is not only to nurture
entrepreneurs, but to inculcate entrepreneurial orientation and characteristics to the students. Therefore, this study
investigates how entrepreneurial orientation that has been gained by students in entrepreneurship subjects, influence
their academic grades. So far, there is lack of empirical study on this matter creating a literature gap. The study is
done at Universiti Teknologi MARA, Malaysia. The result shows that three elements of entrepreneurial orientation
(risk-taking, proactiveness and competitive aggressiveness) positively influence academic grades while the
remaining elements of entrepreneurial orientation (autonomy and innovativeness) do not influence academic grades. |
