Developing competencies for sustainability-driven entrepreneurship in higher education: a literature review of teaching and learning methods

Abstract

The transformation of current economic systems towards sustainable development requires innovative sustainability-driven enterprises with competent owners, managers and staff members. These people should see sustainable development as of primary value and as an opportunity for strategic renewal of their enterprise as well as being important to society in general. Higher education for sustainability-driven entrepreneurship aims at developing the individual competencies which are required in this context. For creating learning settings in which these competencies can be developed, particular teaching-learning approaches and methods are needed. To date, there is no comprehensive literature review dealing with teaching-learning approaches and methods of higher education for sustainability-driven entrepreneurship. Against this backdrop, a systematic literature review has been carried out to examine the state of the art concerning teaching-learning approaches and methods for sustainability-driven entrepreneurship in higher education. The results form a basis for further structuring the debate on approaches and methods of teaching and learning related to higher education for sustainability-driven entrepreneurship and for identifying future research needs in this area.
