The Age has published an article about entrepreneurship in Australia, based on a new report commissioned by the Office of the Chief Scientist.

But such training needs to move beyond business schools into mainstream courses.

“(Entrepreneurship) is inseparable from education — not independent of it,” Professor Chubb says in the report’s foreword. “We need to shift our mindsets from a willingness to muddle along to a determination to make our luck.”
