Taking action to pursue ones own ideas and transform them into a successful business is a deeply satisfying and satisfying endeavor. Entrepreneurship can help people build careers that directly align with their personal values, like helping others or preserving the environment. This can provide an emotional and mental sense of fulfillment that many other jobs cannot.
Entrepreneurship is a social issue, which involves complex interactions between humans and the social context in which they live, play, and learn. It is therefore often regarded as an important area of study in the social sciences. It is also an inter-disciplinary field that draws upon the disciplines of sociology, management, law and anthropology, public policy and not-for-profit management.
We map the research on entrepreneurship for non-business students in this article and propose a framework for existing research based upon the four dimensions of learning through social networks – observational-learning, the role played by peers and mentors as well as the entrepreneurial ecosystem as a platform for social-learning, as well as the impact of institutions. We then examine how this framework could be applied in a more systematic fashion to guide research and the development of entrepreneurial education in the coming years. We also present an in-depth bibliometric analysis supported by VOSviewer and Bibliometrix which the importance of social sciences highlight the most renowned authors, institutions and countries, seminar papers journals, themes, and seminar articles. This provides a comprehensive and deep understanding of the present situation in the field. The analysis also provides insight into potential future areas of research and the knowledge gaps that need to be filled.
