This study examines how collegiate climates and practices can promote innovation capacities among an international longitudinal sample of undergraduate women. Using a pre-test/post-test quantitative design with a reliable and valid dependent measure of innovation capacities, this study employs structural equation modeling to robustly estimate…

This study explored the effectiveness of a short-term, low-cost experiential learning intervention on undergraduate students' development of innovation capacities. Data were collected from 90 students at a large Midwestern public institution across two randomly assigned conditions: those who received only a video-based innovation lecture and those…

The purpose of this study was to understand whether and the extent to which undergraduate students' exposure to and participation in a set of innovation-specific curricular learning interventions promoted innovation capacities--a measurable set of self-perceptions and abilities students can develop to better engage in innovation. Through the use…

This study examines the influence of collegiate environments and experiences on students' innovation capacity development. Drawing on a longitudinal sample of 528 first-year undergraduates from seven institutions in North America, we suggest that college can promote innovation capacities over and above students' personality traits, entering…

This study describes the process of developing and validating an instrument that measures students' innovation capacities as a higher education outcome. We introduce an interdisciplinary theoretical framework used to generate items and cover extant literature drawn primarily from the fields of higher education and entrepreneurship studies. We…

The purpose of this exploratory study was to examine the cultivation of innovative entrepreneurial intentions among students in three distinctive educational settings: a U.S. undergraduate four-year environment, a U.S. M.B.A. two-year environment, and a German five-year business and technology environment. Results suggested that innovative…

The purpose of this paper was to explore innovative entrepreneurship and to gain insight into the educational practices and experiences that increase the likelihood that a student would graduate with innovative entrepreneurial intentions. To this end, we administered a battery of assessments to 3,700 undergraduate seniors who matriculated in the…
