This paper seeks to strengthen the connection between research and teaching in
two fields that are well-established in themselves, but not often studied together:
entrepreneurship and leadership. Although some studies use the phrase
“entrepreneurial leadership”, few truly define the concept. Here we attempt a
comprehensive review of these uses in order to offer a relatively stable definition.
To reinforce the conclusions of that review, we gather and report our own
empirical data from a survey of 51 higher education institutions in the UK. Our
ultimate aim is to contribute a set of practical recommendations for the teaching
of entrepreneurial leadership.
