Business education and entrepreneurial capabilities in Pakistan

Abstract

This study explores the relationships between business education in Pakistani universities and the
development of the entrepreneurial capabilities in students. It also focuses upon the potential
differentials on entrepreneurial making among public and private universities. This is a cross-sectional
casual study using questionnaire for a sample of 320 students of 04 different universities at Rawalpindi
and Islamabad. Discriminate and regression analyses have been used to analyze the data. Results show
relationship, though not very strong, between business education and entrepreneurial capabilities.
Moreover, results also reveal that both private and public business schools are responsible for almost
equal level of entrepreneurial capabilities.
