Engaging in the pursuit of your own ideas and turn them into a successful business is an intensely gratifying pursuit. Entrepreneurship allows people to create careers that directly align with their values, like helping others or protecting the environment. This can provide a physical and mental satisfaction that other careers can’t.

Entrepreneurship is a complicated social phenomenon that involves intricate interactions between humans and their social environments in which they live, work, play, and learn. It is therefore often regarded as a significant subject of study guide to social science courses within the social sciences. It is also an interdisciplinary field that draws upon the disciplines of sociology, management law and anthropology, public policy and management of not-for-profit organizations.

We outline the research in entrepreneurial learning for non-business students within this article and propose a framework for existing research that is based on 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 also discuss how this framework can be used more systematically to guide future research and development in entrepreneurship education. We also provide a thorough bibliometric analysis, supported by VOSviewer and Bibliometrix which reveals the most well-known authors, institutions, countries, seminar articles journals, topics, and seminar articles. This provides a comprehensive and in-depth understanding of the state of the field. The analysis also informs on possible future research areas and the necessary knowledge gaps.
