Creating-entrepreneurial-mindset

Environmental aspects of entrepreneurship – necessity in business educationagement but not all of them include environmental questions. For example, at RzeszowUniversity of Technology module “CSR” is a part of the syllabus for the specialty ProfessionalManager programme, but not for the specialty of Firm Management. The lastone mentioned course programme has no module connected with environmental aspectsof economic activity.It is also probable that some topics related to “green” economics are taken into accountin other modules, for instance eco-innovations might be examined in the modulesdevoted to innovations in general.In order to ummarise this review, it is obvious that modules considering environmentalaspects are mainly a part of specialty courses. Some of them include only generalquestions but others show practical solutions and examples. However, not all interactionsbetween enterprises and environment are taught as well as not all practicalaspects of enterprises’ economic activities are related to the use of the environment.Some universities deliver new specialties considering management or economy ofthe environment and its resources.6.

In others, new fields of study have been introduced.In case of new specialties, their programmes vary: there are universities where allspecialty courses are strictly related to environmental questions, but at others – themore general subjects are included.Specialty of Management of Environmental Resources (I and II degree studies) runat Wroclaw University of Economics (Field of study: economics) may serve as abenchmark here.
