Abstract	Understanding the potential and dynamics of entrepreneurship in education requires a better understanding of how universities function as knowledge communities, and the role of stu-dents in such milieu. This understanding can reveal how universities teaching activities influ-ence the development of students entrepreneurial orientations and competencies. This article argues that entrepreneurship education has not yet fulfilled its potential partly due to a poor fit with other knowledge activities within universities. It proposes that a future research agen-da for universities entrepreneurship education should focus more on how entrepreneurship activities fit with universities core knowledge community activities. This would allow a cohe-rent understanding to emerge of the potentials and limitations of universities contributions to the inculcation of entrepreneurial attitudes. (HRK / Abstract übernommen)
