Microsoft Word - TOSCHER FINAL.docx Artivate: A Journal of Entrepreneurship in the Arts Volume 8, Issue 1 http://artivate.org pp. 3-22 ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Copyright © 2019, Ben Toscher ENTREPRENEURIAL LEARNING IN ARTS ENTREPRENEURSHIP EDUCATION: A CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK Ben Toscher Norwegian University of Science and Technology Abstract Increasingly, higher education has called upon arts entrepreneurship to prepare artists for sustainable careers, and to provide a platform for research on artist professional development. In response, teaching in entrepreneurship and arts entrepreneurship education has grown significantly over the past few decades (Fayolle et al., 2016), with an estimated 168 institutions with 372 offerings arts entrepreneurship courses in the US alone (Essig & Guevara, 2016). This is especially true in the field of music, where arts entrepreneurship has been readily embraced due to the entrepreneurial nature of sustaining a livelihood as a musician (Bennett, 2016; Breivik et al., 2015). The amount of research focusing on the teaching of arts entrepreneurship has followed closely behind the growth in arts entrepreneurship education – but what about research on learning arts entrepreneurship? How do arts students actually learn to be entrepreneurial? While research in arts entrepreneurship has been performed to examine curricular efforts (e.g., Beckman, 2005), the similarities and synergies of entrepreneurs and artists (e.g., Gangi, 2015), and arts entrepreneurship education as a comprehensive phenomenon of interest and study (Chang & Wyszomirski, 2015), no work has been performed to connect the field´s body of knowledge to extant theoretical work directly related to experiential and entrepreneurial learning (Politis, 2005). Given that most arts entrepreneurship curricula include some form of experiential learning (Essig & Guevara, 2016), I propose a framework to advance the field´s investigation of entrepreneurial learning in the arts entrepreneurship classroom. Since understanding arts entrepreneurship is context-specific (Beckman & Essig, 2012), in this article I use the specific case of music performance education in higher music education (HME) to connect empirical and theoretical literature on arts entrepreneurship education, entrepreneurial learning, entrepreneurial competencies (Bacigalupo et al., 2016), careers in music, and social cognitive career theory (Lent et al., 2002) Synthesizing these streams of literature, I propose a conceptual framework for integrating context-specific entrepreneurial learning activities within arts entrepreneurship education. The framework developed recognizes and address the importance of context, personal agency, student-centered learning, explorative behavior and definitions in arts entrepreneurship educational activities. The framework also provides the means to analyze both mini-cases and examples of entrepreneurial learning activities which may develop entrepreneurial competencies. The article concludes with promising areas and questions for future research and as well as implications for educators. Keywords: entrepreneurial learning, arts entrepreneurship education, entrepreneurial competencies, social cognitive career theory Introduction Entrepreneurship education has grown considerably in recent years, and the number of institutions offering academic coursework in entrepreneurship is consistently rising (Winkel, 2013). Entrepreneurship has transformed from a discipline traditionally housed in business schools to a subject which is now being taught across multiple fields, ranging from music (Beckman, 2005) to science (Scordato & Støren, 2014), and nearly every discipline in between. Within music education, entrepreneurship education has been broadly placed into two main categories: the new venture creation approach (Beckman & Essig, 2012) and the transitioning approach (Beckman et al., 2014). While the former approach closely resembles the type of Toscher Entrepreneurial Learning in Arts Entrepreneurship Education __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Artivate 8 (1) 4 entrepreneurship education which began in business schools, the latter approach focused on preparing music students for the realities of life as a professional musician which await them outside of academia. Irrespective of a student´s path, entrepreneurship education is relevant considering that the intended learning outcomes of entrepreneurship education may not be limited strictly to new venture creation but also include the development of entrepreneurial competencies (Lackeus, 2015). These competencies can be useful to all types of organizations – whether a new venture, a government agency, or a rock music ensemble. While the distinct approaches offer a context for teaching arts entrepreneurship, there remains a lack of arts context-specific research examining how arts students actually learn entrepreneurship in an educational setting. Extant research from the economics and business literature may help address this gap. Within arts entrepreneurship literature, the influence of works originating from economics and business disciplines is significant and apparent -- see, for just two examples, Brandenburg et al., 2016 or J. J. Gangi, 2017. Naturally, since arts entrepreneurship as a research field has closely followed arts entrepreneurship as an educational field, it is fitting that attention should be paid to learning to complement the teaching. Integrating entrepreneurial learning literature and continuing in the practice of drawing from entrepreneurship research outside art entrepreneurship´s immediate literature stream, this article proposes a conceptual framework for integrating context-specific (Beckman & Essig, 2012) entrepreneurial learning activities within arts education. To demonstrate the relevance of the framework, this article draws on the context of music performance education. Arts entrepreneurship education which is context-specific supports learning outcomes. For example, a workshop teaching a broad audience of arts students how to build a website (visual artists, theatre artists, musicians, etc.) would have a different scope of content and relevance than one tailored for context. In such a workshop, a music student would be interested in platforms such as Bandcamp or Soundcloud, whereas a theatre student would be more interested in IMDB. Rather than use the example of arts entrepreneurship offerings in which students learn more generic professional skills such as building a website or accounting, this article proposes and identifies existing practices within music education to support the observation that “..many, if not most, programs seem to employ some mode of experiential learning in their teaching.” (Essig & Guevara, 2016). Since experiential learning is widely used in practice, the introduction and exploration of entrepreneurial learning (Politis, 2005) which is itself rooted in experiential learning theory (D. Kolb, 1984), is promising. The article is structured as follows. First, research exploring the careers of musicians is investigated to demonstrate why musicians need entrepreneurial competencies and why entrepreneurship education may be relevant to them. Building on that foundation, the article examines artistic and entrepreneurial career identities, social cognitive career theory, and arts entrepreneurship education to suggest some of the contextual and cognitive barriers music students may face when learning entrepreneurially through a pedagogical intervention. Third, the article introduces the concepts of entrepreneurial competencies and entrepreneurial learning to provide a basic framework for the types of learning outcomes possible through entrepreneurial learning activities. Finally, I propose a conceptual framework to understand how arts entrepreneurship education might be used to facilitate the entrepreneurial learning of students. Drawing on the framework, I use the specific context of music performance in HME to provide examples of learning activities. The article concludes with implications and promising areas of future research. Toscher Entrepreneurial Learning in Arts Entrepreneurship Education __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Artivate 8 (1) 5 Careers of Musicians Students in the performing arts face uncertain career patterns, creating a recognized need for the development of entrepreneurial competencies (Blenker, 2017), like marketing, opportunity and resource skills. These employment patterns are unlike traditional career patterns, which may often feature a linear career trajectory and a long-term employer-employee relationship. Instead, the careers of performing artists are likely to be undertaken on a “portfolio” basis consisting of a never-ending, self-managed series of simultaneous and overlapping employment engagements (Cawsey, 1995). These employment engagements vary not only according to the spectrum and diversity of employers, but also to the type of work undertaken which includes teaching, performing, and other “embedded” positions (Coulson, 2012). Musicians, as students in the performing arts, often maintain portfolio careers through a combination of professional roles as music teachers, freelancers, and performers, in which they depend on a set of entrepreneurial competencies and thinking to maintain a livelihood (Bennett, 2016; Breivik et al., 2015). The value of such competencies is evident in empirical research which has demonstrated that after performance skills, the next most important skills and competencies working musicians require to sustain their careers are entrepreneurial (Bennett, 2007, 2009). These skills include marketing, self-promotion, small business, and opportunity recognition. Globally, research which has studied the careers of musicians confirms the above finding and is rather illustrative: over 42 percent of surveyed musicians in Germany claim their career is made possible only through self-employment (Dangel & Piorkowsky, 2006); musicians in Australia on average held more than one music industry role and they often “don´t know any musicians who do only one thing” (Bennett, 2007); in the UK over 90 percent of studied musicians hold a secondary occupation; and in Denmark only 6 percent of music graduates worked solely in performance, with half of them working in both performance and teaching (Traasdahl, 1996). Being self-employed and managing several professional roles requires individuals to use various entrepreneurial competencies in the maintenance and advancement of their careers. Research on careers in music can have a positive impact on the delivery of HME. As Smith, a music educator and researcher, (2013) writes: The challenge for those of us working in music education is to recognise and incorporate contemporary understandings of the work patterns of successful music professionals, and, where necessary, to alter discourses accordingly. As teachers, the personal narratives that we offer our students about life as musicians are thus essential – reflecting success for the majority of musicians in our culture and supportively guiding students towards realistic expectations of how they will likely work. (Smith, 2013, p. 34) Both professional musicians and students testify to the value of entrepreneurial competencies for pursuing careers in music (Bennett, 2009; Brandenburg et al., 2016; Miller et al., 2015, 2017). Thus, the need for the development of entrepreneurial competencies in HME is clear. Unsurprisingly, calls have been made for institutes of HME to adequately train and prepare their students for their post-academic career realities and some efforts have been directed towards the integration of entrepreneurship education in HME by researchers, teachers, and policymakers (Beckman, 2005; Essig, 2013; Roberts, 2013), with considerable blame cast towards such institutions who fail to implement curricula addressing such concerns (Beckman, 2005; Eros, 2013; Hausmann, 2010). Toscher Entrepreneurial Learning in Arts Entrepreneurship Education __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Artivate 8 (1) 6 Entrepreneur or Artist? An Identity Conflict The above-mentioned failure and challenges to integrate entrepreneurship education into the music curriculum could be because practitioners in HME face challenges that are deeper, more complex, and more psychological than simply the economic characteristics of life as a musician: there is a demonstrated conflict between musicians´ natural tendency to identify as artists and their environmentally imposed need to identify and act as an entrepreneur (Bonin- Rodriguez, 2012; Eikhof & Haunschild, 2006). While the professional reality of a career in music is one that is competitive and can require an entrepreneurial attitude to sustain over a long period, artists may be reluctant to self- identify as “entrepreneurial” or partake in education labeled as such. This cognitive resistance occurs both within the individual artists and the individuals responsible for teaching such artists. In addition to Bonin-Rodriguez´s (2012) comprehensive review and persuasive analysis as to why artists have historically resisted the entrepreneur identity, musicologist Andrea Moore´s (2016) critical essay demonstrates why music educators may be justifiably skeptical and resistant to the “institutionalized push for musical entrepreneurship… rooted in the discourse and ideals of neoliberalism.” This resistance creates more difficulty in the implementation of curricular change desired by administrators and policymakers, a process which already faces challenges by academic faculty who do not wish to see their courses and subjects pushed aside for entrepreneurship curricula. There are perceptual barriers to the integration of entrepreneurship education into the arts curriculum (White, 2013). These barriers span from students to the highest administrative offices. Samuel Hope, the former executive director of the United States´ National Office for Arts Accreditation, writes: And, we dare not let entrepreneurship become a substitute for the music itself. Entrepreneurial action needs to serve music and music study, not the reverse. Entrepreneurial action is means, not end. (Hope, 2010) While Hope does present a good point that art should not serve entrepreneurship in an arts education program, his concern points to an underlying set of perceptual barriers about what entrepreneurship education is and how it is framed. This may be because people commonly associate entrepreneurship with a profit motive and an overwhelming commercial narrative, which artists may glean from limited exposure to business literature (Bridgstock, 2013). Thus, they worry that entrepreneurship means art is subservient to business profit and artistic vision will be sacrificed. This apprehension might prevent artists from even being willing to learn about techniques and tools (Pigneur, 2009; Sarasvathy, 2001) that can help them sustain their careers. Thus, it is clear that arts educators may be wise in carefully framing or reframing entrepreneurship given their context. Regardless, both artists and entrepreneurs act similarly (J. Gangi, 2015) and there is a demonstrated need for such artists to reconcile and bridge these two identities in order to sustain music careers (Bridgstock, 2013). But how can students integrate these often-conflicting identities while learning entrepreneurially? And what makes learning entrepreneurial? Toscher Entrepreneurial Learning in Arts Entrepreneurship Education __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Artivate 8 (1) 7 Entrepreneurial Learning, Social Cognitive Career Theory, and Career Identity There are two key aspects of entrepreneurial learning which are directly related and activated through entrepreneurship education. First, entrepreneurial learning processes are experiential (Politis, 2005), especially if students learn “through” entrepreneurship as opposed to “about” or “for” entrepreneurship (Hannon, 2005). Experiential learning is a learning process where knowledge is acquired through a transformation of experience (Kolb, 1984). This contrasts to other forms of learning where abstract conceptualization is formed through comprehension of text and information. This latter type of learning is more common in classrooms focused on the accumulation and memorization of declarative knowledge. The utility and value of declarative knowledge for arts entrepreneurship students should not be ignored or abandoned. Indeed, the introduction of business concepts and management tools can be a useful approach for arts entrepreneurship educators (Roberts, 2013). However, an exclusive focus on knowledge dissemination risks doing a disservice to students. As Dempster (2011) writes: What makes little sense is expecting that we can drive students through four or five or six years of a highly regimented curriculum that affords few choices and asks for little individual initiative, and then expect them to flourish in a world that rewards creativity, opportunism, experimentation, and distinctiveness more than anything else—in short, an entrepreneurial world. (Dempster, 2011) Further, curriculum which focuses on the development of professional development materials such as business cards, websites, portfolios, or social media accounts comes at the cost of precluding experiential learning content in a full curriculum. As Beckman argues (p. 180), “should the creation of professional communication materials and the teaching of professional behaviors be considered an outcome of an arts entrepreneurial effort? I would argue no.” (Beckman, 2011). A preliminary introduction of entrepreneurial learning may help illustrate why professional development type learning activities may be limiting the potential of learning outcomes in arts entrepreneurship education. Second, much of entrepreneurship education represents a shift in the classroom where the center of learning moves from the educator (through activities like knowledge dissemination lectures) to the student (involving self-direction, action learning, and reflection). Here, the role of the educator changes from lecturer to facilitator. Some scholars argue that this represents a transition from pedagogical towards heutagogical (auto-didactic) or andragogical (andragogy referring to the teaching of adults, pedagogy the teaching of children) approaches in education (Neck & Corbett, 2018). This shift is intuitively consistent with the demographics of students in the classroom: they are no longer young children whom should be lectured to, but adults responsible for their learning and are capable of self-direction and personal agency. However, the more important takeaway is that it places the locus of choice with the student and emphasizes the personal agency of the student. Thus, it is important to understand how students might make entrepreneurial choices (whether exploitative or explorative), for which Politis (2005) provides a useful conceptual framework. Toscher Entrepreneurial Learning in Arts Entrepreneurship Education __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Artivate 8 (1) 8 Figure 1 – Politis’s (2005) Conceptual Framework of Entrepreneurial Learning as an Experiential Process Politis argues that entrepreneurial learning is an experiential learning process and shows how entrepreneurs may experientially transform experience into entrepreneurial knowledge. Interestingly, some experiential learning theorists claim that arts students´ divergent thinking styles may be particularly appropriate for this type of experiential learning (Honig & Hopp, 2019; A. Y. Kolb & Kolb, 2009). Figure 1 presents Politis´s framework, which is later argued to be relevant for educating musicians. The framework is comprised of four subcomponents, and the subcomponent of the transformation process of experience into knowledge situates the locus of individual choice amidst the whole process of entrepreneurial learning. Readers should note that this article, and the conceptual framework (see figure 2), are predominantly focused on Politis´s components which deal with the antecedents of and the actual transformation process in which a student either makes an exploitive or explorative choice. This is because the proposed conceptual framework is more focused on how learning activities are relevant for the learning processes (explorative/exploitive choices) than the learning outcomes of entrepreneurial knowledge generation (more effective in dealing with liabilities of newness and opportunity recognition). Here, in the “transformation process,” individuals can either choose an exploration or exploitation type of behavior through the exercise of their personal agency. In entrepreneurial learning, exploitation choices of behavior occur when individuals learn from experience by exploiting known certainties (Politis, 2005, p. 408), whereas in exploration individuals learn by exploring new possibilities. The implications of this key differentiation in the way individuals choose to act are critical for envisioning how arts entrepreneurship educators can help their students to learn entrepreneurially. It means that entrepreneurship educators should encourage their students to embrace uncertainty and make choices which are varied, innovative, experimental, and result in discovery. Whereas procedural knowledge such as how to write a business plan is also useful and widely used in entrepreneurship education (N. F. Krueger et al., 2000), this type of learning activity probably results in a student performing exploitive behavior like doing Google searches and compiling information. Students know how to perform Toscher Entrepreneurial Learning in Arts Entrepreneurship Education __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Artivate 8 (1) 9 research on Google, and the process of compiling and analyzing information is a process that students are well familiar with by the time they reach the University. Instead of assigning this type of task, an arts entrepreneurship educator could have students choose between writing a business plan or identifying three critical assumptions which the success of their entrepreneurial idea depends upon and go out in the world and test whether those assumptions are true or not. Such a pedagogical choice ultimately depends upon the educators´ objectives. For example, suppose a student believes that a late-night cookie delivery service will solve the problem that students don’t have enough time to make cookies for themselves because they are studying too much. Such a student could either spend several months writing and researching a business plan covering all aspects from the target market segment to cookie recipes to expansion plans and then go out and try to raise money. Or, they could spend one- hour baking a few dozen cookies and then another hour knocking on a hundred doors in a student dormitory and see how many students want to buy fresh cookies. The former is likely a form of exploitive behavior familiar to students; the latter is rather explorative. Each of these sets of behaviors will result in a different type of learning for the student, with the latter being arguably more entrepreneurial. An individual´s career experiences and career orientation also play a role in Politis’s framework of entrepreneurial learning. In particular, industry-specific experiences influence the transformation process of experience into knowledge. Interestingly, research into the career patterns of musicians has led to the conclusion that students in HME should be exposed to a career preview early on in their education so that they can form a realistic idea of what a music career entails and what types of competencies they will need to develop (Bennett, 2007; Bennett & Bridgstock, 2015). This orientation should include, to various levels of specificity, an individual´s understanding of what types of competencies, activities, processes, roles, and responsibilities a specific career entails. This type of pedagogical intervention, in turn, influences outcome expectations for a given course of choices – like studying to become a professional artist – which in theory can help students make informed choices for themselves and help them set their goals. According to Politis, such a career orientation influences choices and links personal agency and choice in an entrepreneurial learning activity. But, more importantly, this orientation and the subsequent behavioral choices can influence a student´s self-efficacy and their further orientation towards new choices outside and inside the classroom which may help them achieve their goals (Lent et al., 2002). Ultimately, the generation of entrepreneurial knowledge may help allow them to increase their effectiveness in recognizing opportunities and dealing with the liabilities of newness (Politis, 2005; Stinchcombe, 1965). In Politis´ framework, outcomes of previous events and outcome expectations play an important role in the choice process and subsequent entrepreneurial learning. Interestingly, Social Cognitive Career Theory (SCCT – Lent et al., 2002), which has its roots in Social Cognitive Theory (Bandura, 2001), offers further insight into the role of previous outcomes. SCCT theorizes that an individual´s expectations of outcomes are directly related to the choices they make and subsequently reinforce their sense of self-efficacy, or an individual’s belief in their ability to achieve goals (Bandura, 2001). Primarily, SCCT is concerned with an individual´s self-efficacy, their outcome expectations, and their personal goals. SCCT might suggest that a student´s choice to study music in HME is a choice which is enabling them to achieve their career goal to be a professional musician. Educators should also take note of what SCCT implies about how individuals form self-efficacy beliefs and outcome expectations based upon prior successes or failures. Learning activities should be carefully created to consider how a likely success or failure experience for students will strengthen or diminish self-efficacy (N. Toscher Entrepreneurial Learning in Arts Entrepreneurship Education __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Artivate 8 (1) 10 F. Krueger, 2007). More importantly, the expectations of outcomes and self-efficacy are influenced by an individual´s “work values,” such as the need for autonomy, status, or money, under SCCT. The relevance of this aspect to the aforementioned entrepreneurial and artistic identity tension is not to be understated. This tension creates a somewhat conflicted career identity, which is a set of meanings uniting one’s motivations, competencies, and interests, which arguably guides and forms one’s career orientation (Meijers, 1998). Notably, the formation of career identity and orientation has a logical connection to how individuals choose amongst exploitation/exploration choices and their subsequent learning (Minniti & Bygrave, 2001; Politis, 2005). This has interesting implications for arts entrepreneurship educators: what types of choices should they encourage students to make, how they can create learning conditions to promote those choices and can these activities frame entrepreneurship in a manner that helps achieve the broader goal of education – to help students achieve their own (career) goals. This above-mentioned tension clashes slightly with the argument that artists and entrepreneurs have similarities and synergies (J. Gangi, 2015; Pollard & Wilson, 2014), and thus artists should be encouraged to identify themselves as both arts entrepreneurs and creative practitioners through an “arts entrepreneurial mindset.” Such a mindset is one which recognizes opportunities and can deal with the liabilities of newness. While this “arts entrepreneurial mindset” certainly points to a key psychological integration to encourage entrepreneurial learning, it also alludes to a more understated, yet important aspect of entrepreneurship and arts entrepreneurship education: that it is more than venture creation and can be aimed towards the development of entrepreneurial competencies. Entrepreneurial Learning and Entrepreneurial Competencies Broadly speaking, entrepreneurship education can be about, for, or through entrepreneurship (Hannon, 2005). A conservative view of entrepreneurship education might lead one to think that the intended learning outcome of these types of education can only be new venture creation. Indeed, while agreeing with a Gartnerian definition of entrepreneurship as the creation of new organizations (Gartner, 1989) might constrain entrepreneurship education as being for the purposes of new venture creation, more recent definitions (Shane & Venkataraman, 2000) could mean that entrepreneurship education should be for the recognition and exploitation of opportunities. However, both of these views may be too narrow and overlook the other learning outcomes which may be and are intended to occur during a student´s studies. This overly focused view of new venture creation or opportunity recognition as a proxy for learning outcomes is only bolstered by evidence that not all graduates from entrepreneurship education programs and courses go on to create new ventures (Nabi et al., 2016). If new venture creation is not an appropriate way of addressing the learning outcomes of all types of entrepreneurship education, are there others which may be more appropriate? Researchers and practitioners have turned their attention to entrepreneurial competencies, which may partially address this apparent shortfall (Lackeus, 2015; Bacigalupo et al., 2016). Irrespective of whether students go on to start ventures after their program, entrepreneurship education can have an impact on the development of such competencies through the experiences students have. An emphasis on such learning outcomes broadens the applicability of entrepreneurship education from the exclusive domain of students who want to be entrepreneurs to students who want to be more entrepreneurial. But more than wanting to be entrepreneurial, there are certain categories of students whose careers require them to be more entrepreneurial, such as students in the performing arts and music. Toscher Entrepreneurial Learning in Arts Entrepreneurship Education __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Artivate 8 (1) 11 Research on entrepreneurship education has largely been performed to understand the effects of entrepreneurship education (e.g., Nabi et al., 2016) and the underlying mechanism of entrepreneurial learning (e.g., Löbler, 2006). These research aims seem appropriate. To research entrepreneurship education without a discussion of entrepreneurial competencies and entrepreneurial learning would be like trying to research medical doctor education by just observing practicing medical doctors working with patients long after they finished school; professionals in practice reveal only a little about learning processes and competency development during an education. Entrepreneurial competencies are what help define and distinguish the role of an entrepreneur, and entrepreneurial learning is how individuals develop and produce those competencies. Entrepreneurial competencies are categorized into three main areas: knowledge, skills, and attitudes (Lackeus, 2015). Entrepreneurship education can enable students to develop competencies in each of these three areas. For example, engaging in customer research for a new product or service can help a student gain declarative knowledge. This type of approach has already been highlighted and recommended in the arts entrepreneurship literature (Beeching, 2016); while reflecting on their experience in interacting with these customers, including examining what worked and what didn´t work, can help a student build self-insight. Interpersonal skills are developed by working in teams, strategic skills are learned by trying to achieve goals, and resource skills are built by marshaling resources for a project. The development of entrepreneurial attitudes, such as pro-activeness and perseverance, are not to be overlooked as possible consequences of entrepreneurship education. Rather than new venture creation, these competencies should arguably be the intended learning outcomes of arts entrepreneurship education. Institutes of higher education are expected to produce graduates with such competencies, which has resulted in the spread of entrepreneurship education across various faculties and academic disciplines (Blenker et al., 2014). Beyond the view that institutes of higher education should produce enterprising individuals with these competencies so that they can contribute to economic growth, the reasoning for this expectation is sound. First, if learning outcomes are limited to starting a business or new venture creation, then the success or failure of educational efforts might be confused with the success or failure of ventures. While most start-up businesses fail (Shane, 2008), entrepreneurs continually try to start new businesses despite previous failures. Second, this approach risks confusing the means and ends of entrepreneurship education. New venture creation should not be the ends to which entrepreneurship education is the means. Rather, new venture creation can be the means for which the development of entrepreneurial competencies is the end. Third, such a perspective may prevent entrepreneurship education from being considered applicable or relevant in non-business disciplines such as music.

Based on what we know, what would a conceptual framework for entrepreneurial learning in arts entrepreneurship education look like? A Conceptual Framework to Facilitate the Entrepreneurial Learning in Arts Entrepreneurship Education I have so far reviewed entrepreneurial competencies, entrepreneurial learning, the career patterns of music students, the artistic and entrepreneurial identity conflict, and social cognitive aspects of student learning. But how can existing knowledge and theory about entrepreneurial learning help create a conceptualization of how arts entrepreneurship educators can probe, understand, and create context-specific educational interventions? Previous research has looked at existing efforts to integrate entrepreneurship into the music curriculum and can be a helpful guide. Ghazali and Bennett (2017) found that curriculum should contain both hard technical skills and soft skills like management, the latter of which can arguably be learned through context-specific projects like creating and promoting a concert tour. Other research which has looked at arts entrepreneurship education (Thom, 2017) shares this context-specific focus, and is arguably more appropriate for music students as opposed to entrepreneurship courses imported directly from business schools (Beckman, 2005). One salient example of a context-specific orientation of entrepreneurship education is encouraging music students to understand their audience. Beeching (2016) describes several examples of entrepreneurial learning activities used by music educators, one of which is the inclusion of design-thinking techniques used to interview audience members during an intermission of a concert in order to build an “empathy map” of just who a musician´s audience is. Rather than Toscher Entrepreneurial Learning in Arts Entrepreneurship Education __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Artivate 8 (1) 13 teach music students about market research using a business school textbook, students are encouraged to understand their professional context. Another notable example is that which takes place at the Juilliard School in New York. Early on in the semester students are challenged and given two hours to immediately book a performance gig in New York City (Beeching, 2016). According to Beeching: The assignment is a shock, but the grassroots experience is essentially about making contact with others and communicating what you have to offer: it is an exercise in networking, negotiation, resourcefulness, and communication skills that ultimately leads to finding an audience. (Beeching, 2016) This type of learning activity probably has students engaging in a new, explorative type of behavior. They have arguably learned something about pitching their art and how to sell themselves after they have booked their gig, irrespective of whether they were rejected two or twelve times in the process. Table 2 features this learning activity, and others, to synthesize the previous work in articulating entrepreneurial competencies (Lackeus, 2015) and the proposed conceptual framework to provide examples and illustrate how the proposed entrepreneurial learning activities in music education can potentially touch upon each of these five components. In this two-hour book a gig challenge, we can see how entrepreneurial mental models may be updated through this learning activity. Lackeus operationalizes such mental models as “…knowledge about how to get things done without resources; risk and probability models.” (Kraiger et al., 1993; Lackeus, 2015). As Beeching describes it, this learning activity places time resource constraints on students and challenges them to risk their comfort to book a performance gig. Whether they fail or succeed, this immersive experience is likely to result in the student updating their mental model through conceptual change (Chi, 2008). If a student has never performed this type of activity before, then there is a clearly an opportunity for them to contrast their existing mental model of how “booking a gig” works with what they discover to be the actual process of booking a gig; it is this “holistic confrontation” (Chi, 2008; Gadgil, 2008) that forces a student to compare their understanding of how a system works with the conceptual presentation from an expert, which they are exposed to either via lecture, text, or means. Another example which illustrates the importance of context in arts entrepreneurial learning activities is the Center for Entrepreneurship in Liberal Education at Benoit (CELEB) (Gustafson, 2011). CELEB is an incubator for student businesses from all liberal arts and arts disciplines, and yet the “motivations and needs” of the visual artists versus music students are different (p. 76, Gustafson, 2011). As Gustafson writes: One of our surprises was to discover the vastly different student needs that follow from different industry structures across the arts. The structure of the music industry may be currently in chaos, but it is safe to say about it that it bears little relation to the nature of the visual arts industry. An advantage of heavy dependence upon learning by doing is that it avoids the tedium felt by many in the classroom when a teacher is necessarily preoccupied with matters of concern only to a few. (p. 76, Gustafson, 2011) The case of CELEB is not only representative of how specific learning activities within any arts discipline may differ from another, but also may lead to entrepreneurial competency development. At CELEB, which was comprised of 6,000 square feet of retail space at the time of Gustafson´s writing (2011), a popular approach for music students in the program was to start a record label. The classroom exercise involved students navigating a myriad of explorative decisions such as whether to resource functions (such as marketing, promotion, sound engineering, etc.) in-house or contract it out. Forming a record label provides context Toscher Entrepreneurial Learning in Arts Entrepreneurship Education __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Artivate 8 (1) 14 Entrepreneurial Knowledge Generation Context-specificity Student is the center of learning Enabling student agency and encouraging explorative behavior Career relevance Reframing of Entrepreneurship specificity through musical genre, community, and broader industrial structure. Further, the students themselves are the center of their learning – are they not incentivized to focus on themselves and have their record label be a success? As Gustafson puts it, “students can develop further on their own, as they must eventually. Recognizing opportunities, setting goals, gathering requisite resources can become a way of life for students. Once accomplished, this increased their self-confidence and self-efficacy, which are the heart of entrepreneurship.” These examples demonstrate what should be the core components of an entrepreneurial learning activity for music students, and also illustrate what other research has found: that context-specificity is important in engaging music students and making entrepreneurship relevant (Chang & Wyszomirski, 2015; Ghazali & Bennett, 2017; Thom, 2017). Further, we also know that it is important to emphasize the personal agency of the student, which could be accomplished through a more andragogical orientation towards teaching (Neck & Corbett, 2018). By placing the center of learning on the student, there is arguably an increased chance for the student to form a more holistic set of artistic and entrepreneurial identities which integrates realistic ideas of working as an artist. This andragogical orientation should enable students to make an explorative choice and enable their personal agency in order to facilitate entrepreneurial learning (Politis, 2005). While similar to context-specificity, it is also important to make learning activities explicitly relevant to students´ careers (Bennett & Bridgstock, 2015). By understanding what a career in music looks like, students will see the relevance of “entrepreneurial” learning activities. Finally, the perceptual barriers and identity conflict within arts entrepreneurship should be addressed through a deliberate reframing of what entrepreneurship means, away from neoliberal associations of profit-seeking to an empowering philosophy and method of both decision logic (Sarasvathy & Venkataraman, 2011), education (Neck & Corbett, 2018), and value creation (Lackeus, 2015). But, even more importantly, as something that is empowering students to achieve their goals. This reframing, whose importance was recognized and called for over 10 years ago (Beckman, 2007; Bonin- Rodriguez, 2012), is even more important considering that there is a history of active debate and a lack of definitional consensus within the broader field of entrepreneurship about what entrepreneurship actually is (Landström et al., 2012). Thus, entrepreneurial learning activities should: be context-specific, place the center of learning with the student, enable student agency and encourage explorative behavior, be of career relevance, and reframe entrepreneurship.

Conclusion and Areas of Future Research The perspective of students and how they learn in an arts entrepreneurship setting is an important complement to how they are educated. This article complements the existing research on arts entrepreneurship education through the introduction of arts entrepreneurial learning. It has incorporated disparate research from the literature streams of entrepreneurial competencies, entrepreneurial learning, career identity, and arts entrepreneurship in order to propose a conceptual framework for the entrepreneurial learning of music students, which has guided the compilation of example entrepreneurial learning activities listed in table 2. Table 2: Entrepreneurial Competencies and Learning Activities Toscher Entrepreneurial Learning in Arts Entrepreneurship Education __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Artivate 8 (1) 16 A cursory glance at the activities presented in table 2 might be familiar to many readers, and many of these activities are already taking place within arts entrepreneurship offerings within HME (Beeching, 2016). The research field is still young, and there is ample opportunity to assess the effectiveness through a case study of how each of these learning activities supports the development of the competencies in focus listed in table 2. Thus, whether or not educators have designed these types of activities with the help of educational theory or social cognitive psychology (e.g., theory of self-efficacy), the fact that these types of activities are happening presents an interesting opportunity for quantitative research within arts entrepreneurship education which is of a similar nature to that which is happening within the broader field of entrepreneurship education (see Nabi et al., 2016 for a meta-analysis of entrepreneurship education impact studies). While many of these studies measure entrepreneurial self-efficacy before and after educational interventions, the creation of an arts entrepreneurial self-efficacy or music entrepreneurial self-efficacy measure may be helpful for educators to inform and improve practice. The development and validation of such a measure is not a simple or easy undertaking (Mcgee et al., 2009), and given the context-specificity of arts entrepreneurship, the task may seem daunting. Some may argue such a measure would be too reductionist. Regardless, both entrepreneurial learning and social cognitive theories point to the importance of experience in developing a student´s sense of self-efficacy, which remains with them long after they leave higher education. Second, the conflict between the artistic and entrepreneurial identities deserves a closer look. The existing literature indicates this tension is present amongst educators, but that the students themselves “do not care about these conflicts; they are demanding arts entrepreneurship education now” (Roberts, 2013, p. 57). Do these students see entrepreneurship differently than their teachers? If so, how? How does student “demand” for arts entrepreneurship relate to their career goals and desired outcomes from their education? While I propose that a re-framing of entrepreneurship is a necessary part of designing arts entrepreneurial learning activities, given the lack of definitional consensus of entrepreneurship across many disciplines (Landström et al., 2012), studying the student perspective and comparing it with the perspectives of teachers and administration could be helpful in achieving a win-win-win situation: more students achieving their career goals, which are arguably the types of outcomes which make teachers feel good and administration feel proud. Finally, these learning activities create interesting opportunities for action researchers (Huang, 2010) like teacher-researchers to understand how different types of students respond to tasks which either promote exploitive or exploratory behavior. Through either qualitative methods or emotional indicators, studies could be performed to understand how students respond, over time, to uncertain situations where no clear path is laid before them, a dynamic which is quite new and unconventional for traditional academic environments. Further, this dynamic of exploitive-explorative behavior and student propensity towards either could be interesting to compare across specific arts contexts, such as classical versus jazz music education. Classical music and the conservatory environments have clear traditions in how students are trained which may directly influence a student´s sense of agency and subsequent musical and professional exploration (Orning, 2017). One might infer that the genre and pedagogical norm of music in which these students learn and play music (jazz as improvisation and exploration; classical as routine and exploitation of classical works) (Orning, 2017) affect how they behave off stage. Is there any notable difference?
