Modern Business Environment and Entrepreneurship Education

The aim of this chapter is to present a new approach to entrepreneurship education through close synergy between students, teachers and virtual organisations. Namely, the increased number of people employed in virtual organisations requires new skills adjusted to the changing business models of the existing companies. Together with IT entrepreneurship and virtual organisations development, two parallel processes emerged. Those processes are analysed within this chapter. The first one relates to the impact of virtual educational enterprises on transforming the entrepreneurship education and the second one relates to a new set of skills necessary for new generation of entrepreneurs. Our research has shown that it is necessary to work on a reduction of barriers between students and teachers and creating a new learning environment which will enhance student satisfaction and strong motivation to develop their entrepreneurship ideas and turn them into reality, supported by new technologies
