oynayan stratejik örgüt yapısı ve bu örgüt yapısı bağlamında şekillenen eylem

öğrencilerinin eğitim hayatı ve mezuniyet sonrasında uyum sağlama yeteneklerinin
geliştirilmesi, yenilikçi fikirler üretmesi ve sosyal bir ortam içerisinde bu fikirleri
sunup, uygulamaya geçirme fırsatını gençlere sunmaktadır. Modelin geliştirilme
aşamasında üniversitelerde girişimcilik eğitimine yönelik literatür incelenmiş ve
