Expert hails Victorian role models
Article Abstract:
Universities need to change the way they think about entrepreneurship and adopt a Victorian idea of higher education being for the imaginative use of knowledge if entrepreneurship is to thrive, according to Allan Gibb, professor emeritus of Durham University. Gibb, in his paper "Towards the Entrepreneurial University", argues that the current system leaves students with little time for imagination and reflection and that a return to the Victorian idea would give more time for imaginative thinking and, therefore, more time for entrepreneurship.
