Entrepreneurship has become the world stream in recently years. It is also viewed has great attributions toward the national economic growth. Due to it¡¦s importance, Entrepreneurship has been attracting great interests. Many schools have dedicated to adopt entrepreneurial education.However, from the past references, most researches are focused on the effects of how they influence students¡¦ entrepreneurial intentions and their attitudes. Our research is based on the past literatures studying and individual case analysis to identify factors leading to key entrepreneurial ability. In addition, we also want to seek the more complete structure of entrepreneurial education and compare the influences of encouraging students¡¦ entrepreneurial ability from the course and environmental sides of entrepreneurial education. Besides, we also discuss problems that domestic entrepreneurial education has faced and offer related suggestions. The conclusions are summarized as follows: 1. The key of entrepreneurial ability is consisted of two parts--the ability of starting enterprise and the leadership: (1) the ability of starting enterprise¡Grisk taking, team work, innovation, creativity, opportunity identification, fund raising and management, human resource acquirement, manpower support (2) Leadership: abilities of leading, communication and analysis. 2. Complete entrepreneurial education should consider both course and environmental sides: (1) Course side: We divide the courses into four category: enterprise training, new enterprise develop and conduct, environmental formulate and management, research of specific industry. (2) Environmental side: entrepreneurial competition, intern, seminar, association, counselor team. According to our conclusions,the following suggestions are addressed: 1. Enhance entrepreneurial management educational course side and the linkage to the environmental side. 2. Change the teaching way of Course side in entrepreneurial education. 3. Improved the teaching quality. 4. Popularize the entrepreneurial education and better the entrepreneurial environmental atmosphere.

Entrepreneurship is increasingly recognised as an important component of the contemporary knowledge based economy and crucial to the attainment of economic growth and development. However, entrepreneurial activity varies significantly across space within countries. This thesis makes an original contribution by examining the determinants of spatial variations in entrepreneurship across sub-regions of Great Britain from 2008-2010. Through utilising newly available data on firm births and applying exploratory spatial data analysis and spatial econometric techniques, two prominent theories of entrepreneurship are examined. First, the Knowledge Spillover Theory of Entrepreneurship posits that underutilised knowledge by incumbent firms creates entrepreneurial opportunities. The appropriation of these opportunities through entrepreneurial activity, in the form of a new firm, leads to dynamic knowledge spillovers, which generate economic growth. The empirical analysis presented in this thesis concludes that more knowledge intensive regions exhibit significantly higher firm birth rates; however the composition of the regional knowledge stock is critical, as a diverse knowledge stock generates more entrepreneurial opportunities. Second, several theories emphasise the importance of idiosyncratic knowledge and human capital, in the form of entrepreneurial ability, on the discovery and exploitation of entrepreneurial opportunities. The results of this thesis suggest that human capital is vital to the entrepreneurial process, and that university education is a greater source of entrepreneurial ability than labour market experience. Furthermore, the results also suggest that the regulatory burden of the public sector, financial constraints, regional unemployment, and the absence of a local entrepreneurial culture can significantly detract from regional entrepreneurial activity. In light of these results, there are several implications for policy which include: emphasising the importance of effective policy towards intellectual property rights, targeting entrepreneurial education initiatives towards university students and graduates, and reducing unnecessary public sector regulation that can act as a ‘barrier’ to entrepreneurship.
