“…It will also increase the drive for non-entrepreneurs to pursue entrepreneurship by providing them with the entrepreneurial knowledge to start their business.

This paper presents a comprehensive and comparative investigation into the needs, challenges, and potential roles for entrepreneurship in transforming resource-rich countries into sustainable economies. It explores the role of entrepreneurship to help transition from a resource-based economy, mainly through increasing the number of entrepreneurs and enhancing private-enterprise-led and small and medium enterprises to achieve economic diversification. This study focuses on the case of Qatar, considering its current policies, mechanisms, and institutes, and how they are working together to help diversify the economy and ultimately transition from its current resource-based economy. It begins with a comprehensive review of the literature, including a discussion of the significance of economic diversification globally and examining the role of government and other actors in developing entrepreneurship and the private sector. The methodology and conditions are set out, followed by the findings of the qualitative interview study with key and representative stakeholders within the existing entrepreneurship arena, such as entrepreneurs (successful or failed), those wanting to be entrepreneurs, policymakers, investors, and supporting agencies. The interviews are thematically analyzed to identify apparent challenges, their root causes, and initial recommendations. Three barriers in the entrepreneurship ecosystem in Qatar are identified: (1) lack of a conducive and transparent legal, regulatory, and governance environment, (2) lack of access to risk-based financing for entrepreneurs, and (3) lack of locally relevant entrepreneurial mentorship and guidance. Finally, the authors used the literature review and interview results to develop a progressive, locally tailored, dynamic preliminary framework for Qatar, and similar countries, to increase the number of entrepreneurs and small businesses to achieve economic growth and diversification.

“…We have monitored seven independent variables such as the students' perceptions of (i) entrepreneurship education importance, (ii) lecturers' entrepreneurial attitudes, (iii) lecturers' practices related to entrepreneurial education, (iv) challenges faced during entrepreneurial lecturing, (v) courses' content relevance, (vi) entrepreneurial orientation of the lecturing team, and (vii) the role of the university in promoting entrepreneurial competence. It was designed a modified and structured fivepoint Likert scale questionnaire based on the previous literature [5,8,9,13,32,73,79,82,91].…”

“…Based on the above, because universities aim to prepare students to face the labour market, they prioritise the content of programs, lecturers' skills and competences, as well as the creation of a conducive learning environment. Operating in this particular environment, lecturers play a very significant role [78][79][80][81][82] because the efficacy and success of cultivating an entrepreneurial mindset among graduates heavily rely on the competencies, skills, abilities, and behaviours of lecturers. Otache (2019) stated that it is important for lecturers to possess an entrepreneurial mindset rather than necessarily having prior experience as business people in order to effectively teach this topic [8].…”

Entrepreneurship education largely influences the social and economic dimensions of many countries. In the framework of development, frequent changes seek to discover the most effective way of adopting and integrating educational services to meet the requirements of the labour market. This paper aims to analyse entrepreneurial competence in a teaching context from the students’ perspectives. The main objective of the research study aims to measure students’ attitudes towards entrepreneurial intentions, as impacted in an entrepreneurial teaching context. Additionally, it seeks to highlight the significance of the entrepreneurial competence of the lecturing team that goes beyond traditional teaching methods and focuses on fostering an educational environment. As entrepreneurial competence guides opportunity identification by combining skills, knowledge, and attributes and developing them into values, it bridges the gap between teaching and learning, preparing the students to cope with the challenges of the entrepreneurial world. The data were gathered by administering a structured questionnaire that focuses on the perspectives of students in the third cycle of study. The disseminated questionnaire included closed-ended questions related to the entrepreneurial education context, the entrepreneurial competence of the lecturing team, and entrepreneurial intentions. The results of this study demonstrate that the relationship between the entrepreneurial competence of lecturers and entrepreneurial education is crucial for fostering a dynamic and effective learning environment to enhance the entrepreneurial intentions of the students.

The goal of this article is to explore the educational and socio-cultural factors which influence the growth of entrepreneurial activities in Khartoum locality, Khartoum State, Sudan. The research was conducted on a sample of 400 national potential entrepreneurs, and data were collected using a structured questionnaire and personal interviews. Respondents are asked 43 questions to assess their perception of the main factors influencing the growth of entrepreneurial activities. The study adopted an analytical descriptive methodology whereby the data were processed by the statistical package for social sciences (SPSS). Percentages, frequencies, and hypothesis tests were used to analyze data. The study revealed that it’s important for entrepreneurs to have the necessary knowledge, entrepreneurial potential, skills, and creative ideas in turn to contribute to the development of entrepreneurial activities. Also, entrepreneurs must have administrative practical, and technical capabilities in their field. Entrepreneurship culture should be included in the academic curricula of universities. Entrepreneurial activities must be consistent with the values and beliefs of the community members because the spread of entrepreneurial culture among community members contributes to the development of entrepreneurial activities. The study recommends that there must be educational institutions that provide the necessary information the entrepreneurs need and that entrepreneurship should be included in universities’ curricula. Spreading the culture of entrepreneurship among community members through training workshops, training courses and the media in general will enhance entrepreneurial activities. When considering entrepreneurship training it is important to put into account the influence of religious beliefs and tribal differences between society components which may affect entrepreneurial activities.
