Abstract

It has long been recognized that entrepreneurship plays a significant role in the economic development of organizations and countries (Cuervo, Ribeiro, & Roig, 2007; Drucker, 1985; Foster, 1986; Morris & Lewis, 1991; Morris & Sexton, 1996; Peters, 1987). Promoting entrepreneurship as a mechanism to stimulate growth and to generate higher employment and competition in global markets has thus become a central strategy of governments worldwide, who have begun to develop policies that promote and institutionalize entrepreneurship in their countries (Audretsch & Beckmann, 2007; Minniti, 2008). While most of the theoretical discourse was once attached to classic forms of entrepreneurship (the establishment of new businesses in order to maximize economic profit), in recent decades more attention has been devoted to corporate entrepreneurship, institutional entrepreneurship, social entrepreneurship and entrepreneurship in education, as well as to policy formation and enactment in each of these domains.

In December 2010, the Ministry of Education published a Director General Circular titled “Procedures for Approving External Programmes (Third Sector and Business Community Entities)”, to organize the process of approving educational programmes in educational institutions. The circular was not applied in practice (Israeli State Comptroller, 2011), and only recently did the issue of combining external entities in the education system resurface on the Ministry of Education’s agenda, as expressed in the Director General Circular, the results and consequences of which in the field are yet unknown.
