Addressing the growing need for integration between STEM and the social sciences and humanities, this book reinterprets the role of entrepreneurship education. It explores how universities can adapt to the rapid change, and challenges, of the job market brought by digital and green transitions. Specifically, it investigates the profound impact of the digital revolution on higher education institutions, including the integration of disciplines, changing student demands, as well as new job requests from firms and institutions on the market. Entrepreneurship and Digital Humanities identifies how universities can respond to these issues.
The book highlights the need for a progressive consolidation between technical and soft skills, knowledge of digital tools, and ethical considerations in order to prepare students for the jobs of the future. Adopting a cross-disciplinary perspective, expert contributors argue that to fulfil their civic role, modern universities must develop a new humanism, placing the enhancement of human potential at its core. They draw on their diverse practical experience to show how intellectual growth, creativity, constructive criticism and a wide deployment of technologies can contribute to this goal.
Combining theoretical and empirical insights, this book is an invaluable resource for those working in management education and academic governance, as well as students and scholars of entrepreneurship. It is also a vital read for academic staff and higher education policy-makers seeking to equip students for success in an era of uncertainty, dynamicity and turbulence.
