The emergence of entrepreneurship education programs in Indonesian higher education institutions
Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to explore the status of entrepreneurship education programs (EEPs) in Indonesia, expanding similar papers on related Australian EEPs in 2019 and Malaysian EEPs in 2021. The aim is to review neoteric global best practice entrepreneurship education (EE), aligning context and specific inference of EEPs in Indonesian Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) within dynamic entrepreneurial ecosystems. We provide a descriptive and emergent inquiry approach consisting of a review of prominent scholarship within the context of EEPs in Indonesia, together with a first of its kind quantitative component depicting the distribution of entrepreneurship spirit, EEPs, accelerators and entrepreneurship support services within HEIs. The paper highlights the sparse and inconsistent distribution across EEPs in Indonesia, further characterized by only a few dominant HEIs specializing in EE. The findings provide critical insights for HEI leaders, researchers, practitioners, and administrators wishing to enhance entrepreneurship and start-up resources at Indonesian HEIs. Further research, however, is recommended especially with respect to the efficacy and impact of these EEPs.
