Student entrepreneurs are a hugely valuable asset with wonderfully creative solutions to the world’s needs. One only has to look at Microsoft’s Bill Gates or Matt Mullenweg & Mike Little of WordPress fame to understand the potential of successful student entrepreneurs.

The hard reality is that the world of business can have extremely high barriers to entry. These barriers can come in many forms, including perceived personal efficacy, interpersonal inexperience, and real-world blockages. This does not mean entrepreneurship is inaccessible to students, however. With the right support from students’ schools, these barriers to entry can be turned into scalable hurdles, and then into tiny bumps in the road.

We spoke to Dr. Alexandrina Pauceanu, Associate Professor of Management at Geneva Business School and author of many books and papers on entrepreneurship, to get her views on this subject.
