Abstract

EMLYON is a private management school based in the city of Lyon in France. It is among the highest ranked business schools internationally. Since the mid-1980s EMLYON has been focusing on developing entrepreneurial mind-sets among students and faculty members. Today there is an emphasis on EE in all academic programmes and other activities, closely linked with the EMLYON Incubator. Since 2004, the school’s baseline is “Educating Entrepreneurs for the World”. In line with the school’s focus, a large number of teachers are involved in EE: ten professors are covering entrepreneurship extensively; another 30–40 are involved in EE. Several lessons can be learnt from the EMLYON case. First, EE appears to require a long-term strategy, continuity and persistence. Second, the strength of EMLYON’s approach seems to be in diverse education, combining research, teaching, incubating, mentoring, coaching, and other activities, which together generate an entrepreneurial culture at the university. Third, a strong focus on EE may require continuous innovation in teaching. However, since EMLYON is a private business school with specific resources, its approach may not easily be copied by public sector universities.
