THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ENTREPRENEURIAL LEARNING AND BUSINESS PERFORMANCE: THEORETICAL AND EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE

Year 2018, Volume: 5 Issue: 1, 22 - 33, 30.03.2018

Abstract

Purpose- The objective of this article is to examine
the components of entrepreneurial
leaning based on competency approach, motivation and traits theories to
propose a conceptual framework with knowledge, skills, attitudes, motivation
and traits. A severe shortage of studies relevant to Sri Lanka is observed in
comparison with the western countries where specific dimensions linked with entrepreneurial leaning
have been revealed.



Methodology- These specific dimensions are selected
instead of others based on the more practical application for the graduate
entrepreneurs in the education sector in Sri Lanka and it is a new trend in the
academic perspective.



Finding-  It is
significant that research conducted up to now, education activates of graduate
entrepreneurs in the university system is lack a general frame, where queries
on the subject of EL still remain unreciprocated.

Conclusion- The proposed recommendations strongly
advocate for future empirical research of this valuable topic, thus adding new
knowledge to the existing.
