PhD defence: Christoph Viebig

In order to obtain the PhD degree, Christoph Viebig has submitted his thesis entitled:

Learning Entrepreneurship:

How capabilities shape learning from experience, reflection, and action

This PhD dissertation examines the learning process in experience-based entrepreneurship education. This learning process is characterized by continuous iterations of three components: experience, reflection, and action. Each of the three papers challenges one taken-for-granted assumption about one of those components. Those assumptions are that learning experiences occur in face-to-face settings, that reflection is an individual activity taking place in isolation, and that entrepreneurial action can be transferred seamlessly between different contexts and value systems. Taken together, this PhD dissertation contributes to a better understanding of how entrepreneurship can be learned from experience, reflection, and action.
