  • Abstract
    Examine the factors affecting economic growth in the United States, emphasizing the importance of education, technological innovation, and perceived competence for national competitiveness. However, to enhance the country´s competitiveness, the innovations and technological improvements, and stressed that the entrepreneur is an important factor affecting national competitiveness. Thus, this study investigated how entrepreneurship education affects national competitiveness by analyzing and comparing entrepreneurship education and investments in Taiwan, Europe, and China. The cross-national differences examined in this study were government or industry support and the entrepreneurial atmosphere. The research architecture was confirmed with the assistance of cross-national experts. In this study, a literature analysis was conducted using secondary data and, based on expert interviews, the dimensions of entrepreneurship education inputs and output were generalized. The input items comprised entrepreneurship curriculum design, mentors, entrepreneurship competitions, and entrepreneurship forums. The output items comprised the industrial pattern of student employment, enterprise popularity, salary standards, and promotion status. Entrepreneurs are rarely innately successful; most entrepreneurs mature gradually and harmoniously through education and training. The results of this study should serve as a reference to national education units when drafting directions for entrepreneurship education and resource distribution.
