This is why it is ukpip.org/the-field-of-social-sciences often seen as an important field of research for the social sciences. It is also an inter-disciplinary field that draws on the disciplines of sociology, management law, anthropology, public policy and management of not-for-profit organizations.
We review the research on the entrepreneurship of non-business students in this article and propose a framework for existing research that is based on the four dimensions of learning through social networks – observational-learning, the role played by mentors and peers, the entrepreneurial ecosystem, as a platform to social-learning and institutional influences. We also consider how this framework could be applied more consistently to guide future research and development in entrepreneurship education. We also provide a thorough bibliometric analysis, supported by VOSviewer and Bibliometrix which reveals the most well-known authors, institutions nations, seminar articles journals, themes, and seminar articles. This gives a complete and deep understanding of the current state of the art. The analysis also offers information on future research areas and knowledge gaps.
