In Germany, the traditional form of formal lectures seems still to be predominant in Entrepreneurship Education. Case studies as a teaching methodology can serve the many dualities of Entrepreneurship Education: heterogeneous vs. homogeneous prior knowledge of participants, participants’ divergent interests in entrepreneurship courses, from simply collecting credits to theoretical interest to practical and urgent interest in practical skills for starting a venture. The advantages of case study based teaching methodology in transmitting theoretical knowledge as well as practical skills in entrepreneurship is described, based on the evidence in state of the art entrepreneurship research literature. A small explorative survey on case studies in Entrepreneurship Education is presented. Descriptive results generate insights in students perspective on the usefulness of the case study based teaching methodology in comparison with traditional lectures and provide hints for a more elaborated future empirical study that could employ a proper model on the effectiveness and advantages of case study based learning. The authors conclude in encouraging an increase in the usage of case study based teaching in Entrepreneurship Education especially in Germany.

In this article we want to outline the development of “BIZEPS” from 1999 to 2003/04. A subsequent article in this volume will reflect on the development from 2005 to 2011. The acronym BIZEPS has always remained part of the names of follow-up projects and sustainable structures which persisted after the end of government financing. At the end of February 2011, the latest EXIST-project in Wuppertal, BIZEPS gazelles, has been concluded formally; but then again it did not really come to an end, since its core functions can now be continued through internal funding. Sustainable structural changes have been established, and the lessons learned as well as the spirit of BIZEPS gazelles are still present. Now, in summer 2011, Wuppertal is preparing for its second application for EXIST IV. EXIST IV would be the concluding highlight to the university’s long-lasting commitment to entrepreneurship by crafting and – more important – incorporating an entrepreneurial strategy not only for parts of the university, but rather for its entire body. But how did Wuppertal University get to this point? In this article we would like to describe the history of entrepreneurship at the University of Wuppertal. This reflection in form of a case study might offer insights and lessons to be learned that are instructive to other universities which are about to start or to advance their entrepreneurial ecosystem (for a similar approach in describing the development of entrepreneurship within educational institutions see e.g. Cruikshank 2005; in addition see e.g. Wright et al. (ed.) (2007), Isenberg (2010), and Fetters (2010)).

They must increase their competitive advantage in the undeniably key process of the issuance of stocks. As the issuance of preferred stocks has increased after the last crisis and in the current period of low interest rates in Europe, they are becoming more favoured investment instruments, we decided to analyse the real properties of preferred stocks in Europe in order to increase the efficiency of joint-stock companies. Using a dataset comprising all companies having both common and preferred stocks issued and traded on European markets between 2009- 2016, we determined the relationship of risk (measured by beta coefficients) and price volatility among common and preferred stocks and bonds in Europe. Our findings show beta coefficients of preferred stocks as systematically lower than beta coefficients of common stocks. Considering a difference of up to 10% as negligible, however, preferred stocks showed a similar or higher beta coefficient than corresponding common stocks of the same company in 53% of cases, whereas for 33% of cases, the difference is only ±10%. Coefficients of variation in prices showed a similar relationship, with only a negligible portion of preferred stocks bearing fixed (stable) dividends. This result implies that currently traded preferred stocks in Europe in fact do not possess such characteristics they are typically said to have, and in many cases they incur as comparable a risk as do common stocks. This essential information should help to increase the efficiency and competitiveness of joint-stock companies.

Diese Teildisziplin erklärt unternehmerisch denkende und innovationsbefähigte Mitarbeiterinnen und Mitarbeiter zum Objekt der Entrepreneurship-Forschung. Doch wie lassen sich Entrepreneurship und Intrapreneurship differenzieren? Und wo steht die Entre- und Intrapreneurship-Lehre heute? Und wie kann unternehmerisches Denken und Handeln an Hochschulen und in der Praxis gefördert werden? Wo stehen dabei die Hochschulen und Unternehmen in unserer Region?

Für den deutschen Sprachraum fehlen jedoch entsprechende Studien. Der vorliegende Aufsatz trägt dazu bei, diese Forschungslücke zu schließen. In einer Stichprobe von 50 deutschen Zeitungs- und Zeitschriftenartikeln zum Thema Entrepreneurship wurden 210 Analogien und Metaphern erfasst. Im Wesentlichen werden Sprachbilder aus zehn Quelldomänen genutzt, um Entrepreneurship zu versinnbildlichen und die Rolle von Entrepreneuren zu beschreiben: Fortbewegung, Natur, Handwerk, Krieg und Kampf, Familie, Anatomie, Sport, Bühne-Film-Medien, Seefahrt sowie Mythologie und Religion. Die Analyse mündet in die Ableitung eines auf der konzeptuellen Metapherntheorie basierenden Gesamtmodels, das das Verständnis von Entrepreneurship explizit macht, welches durch die Verwendung von Analogien und Metaphern ausgedrückt wird.

Entrepreneurship education provides an important contribution to improving students ́ entrepreneurial competencies and stimulating innovative work behaviour. Based on the current state of research, as well as on the results of an empirical comparative study at partner institutions of applied sciences, this article describes how the internationalisation of curricula with regards to the academic teaching of entrepreneurship and the promotion of entrepreneurial competence can be structured. An online survey of students carried out within the framework of an EU project, as well as joint class observations, revealed some important differences in study-related matters, which emphasises the need for stronger cooperation in terms of cross-border employability. With regards to the promotion of entrepreneurial thinking and behaviour, it appears appropriate to intensify the use of case-based instructional designs within teaching standards, to extend the supportive offers to students and to enable engagement with entrepreneurship in various courses of studies.
