Title A name given to the resource ENTREPRENEURSHIP CURRICULUM IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES IN ZIMBABWEAN UNIVERSITIES Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource STEPHEN MWENJE Description An account of the resource The thesis evaluated entrepreneurship curriculum implementation in Zimbabwean universities. The thesis was prompted by shortfalls in capacitating students to create entrepreneurial opportunities. The thesis was informed by the philosophy of pragmatism and underpinned by theories of opportunity discovery and creation. Review of related literature brought evidence on applicability of opportunity discovery and creation theories. The study was a mixed method research that adopted a concurrent mixed methods design. The population comprised of students and lecturers in 16 universities in Zimbabwe. Two parallel samples were used. The quantitative sample was stratified and random, with 94 lecturers and 235 students from all programmes, while the qualitative sample was purposive, comprising lecturers and students from entrepreneurship degree programmes. Questionnaires collected data for the quantitative inquiry while semi- structured interviews and documentary reviews generated data for the qualitative inquiry. Descriptive statistics presented and analysed quantitative data while thematic analysis was used on qualitative data. Validity and reliability validated quantitative methods, while trustworthiness validated qualitative methods. Triangulation synthesised theories and methods while bracketing and member checking guided researcher’s values. Results established limited incorporation of entrepreneurship curriculum into degree programmes. Curriculum strategies were deficient in generating venture creation. The study concluded that degree programmes fell short in capacitating students to search and create entrepreneurial opportunities. The study proposed a model to incorporate entrepreneurship curriculum into degree programmes. The study recommended that university senates, deans and chairpersons develop action oriented entrepreneurship curriculum. The study recommended research that consider university mandates.
