Abstract

Entrepreneurial class projects are long-term projects trapped in short-term classes. In information systems programs, they are found in classes such as introduction to information systems, project management, systems analysis and design, web development, or major-specific capstone classes. Despite the valuable work and effort invested in these projects, there is little evidence of the continuation of these projects after classes ended. This study addresses this issue by finding quantitative evidence of the continuation or not of class entrepreneurial projects and by exploring potential factors affecting such continuation. The study uses the case of an entrepreneurial class project that has been completed within many different sections of an information systems class in a big public university in the United States.

A Case of Entrepreneurial Class Projects

Entrepreneurial class projects are long-term projects trapped in short-term classes. In information systems programs, they are found in classes such as introduction to information systems, project management, systems analysis and design, web development, or major-specific capstone classes. Despite the valuable work and effort invested in these projects, there is little evidence of the continuation of these projects after classes ended. This study addresses this issue by finding quantitative evidence of the continuation or not of class entrepreneurial projects and by exploring potential factors affecting such continuation. The study uses the case of an entrepreneurial class project that has been completed within many different sections of an information systems class in a big public university in the United States.
