THE ROLE OF THE ENTREPRENEURIAL MINDSET IN FOSTERING STUDENT STARTUPS: A LITERATURE REVIEW FROM THE HIGHER EDUCATION PERSPECTIVE

Abstract

This article aims to examine the role of the entrepreneurial mindset in fostering the emergence of student startups, particularly within the context of higher education. The research method employed is a literature review, drawing upon journals, books, and conference proceedings published over the past decade. The findings indicate that the entrepreneurial mindset plays a crucial role in enhancing entrepreneurial intention, risk adaptability, and the sustainability of student-led ventures. Higher education serves as a catalyst in shaping entrepreneurial thinking through curriculum design, business incubators, and mentoring initiatives. The practical implication of this study lies in the necessity of integrating a mindset-based approach into entrepreneurship development strategies within higher education.
