"Can innovation be taught? Or is innovation something that a student just has?" To be sure, not everyone thinks that entrepreneurship is encouraged in the classroom.

The new research from Mayhew dispels the notion that entrepreneurial education is unproductive in encouraging entrepreneurship.

"The good news is that innovative entrepreneurial intentions can be influenced by educators, regardless of the many differences in traits and experiences that students across cultures bring to college campuses." For the research, Mayhew studied 375 U.S. business undergraduates, 109 M.B.A. students and 210 German students in a five-year business program.

The students who participated in the study were analyzed for their relative extraversion and introversion with personality tests.
