| description | To survive in an increasingly competitive global business
environment, the need to be creative and rapid in coming up with
new ideas and inventions has now become a necessity.
The role entrepreneurs can play in a country's economy has been
widely recognised. Indeed, the most plausible answer to why some
economies progress much faster than others is found in human
attributes to risk-taking and money making. The importance of
entrepreneurship does not lie solely in its job creating
potential, but also in the ability of entrepreneurs to bring
about innovation, capture new markets and increase productivity,
thus maintaining a competitive edge. In general, entrepreneurs are able to identify profitable
opportunities and channel capital and related resources to
exploit them.
With entrepreneurship being recognised as a wealth creation and
a value-adding process [Kao 1993], educational investment in the
relevant field is therefore seen as a vehicle for development and
prosperity.
The main focus of this research study is to discuss the effect
of education and its associated human capital development on
entrepreneurship and economic growth. A case study is done on
Singapore to identify and establish a relationship between
entrepreneurs and their education levels. The Singapore's
education system has often been criticized to be the cause of
many problems inhibiting entrepreneurship. Many lament that high
levels in education has stifled the growth of the entrepreneurial
spirit here.
Given the current emphasis and concern shown by the government
of Singapore in the area of entrepreneurship, we hope that a
study into the relationship may help the government and the
relevant committees in structuring an unambiguous policy
prescription pertaining to the promotion of entrepreneurship in
the country. |
