Editorial: A global perspective on teaching innovation, entrepreneurship and engineering management

I truly believe that the art of teaching innovation and entrepreneurship in an engineering management setting has never been more essential to our future prosperity. It is well understood that advances in technology are essential for increasing productivity, thereby raising living standards for everyone in the general population. Advances in technology often originate from innovations in science and engineering, which are then delivered to society by entrepreneurs who create new products and services. So how does one teach skills like `innovation?? or `entrepreneurship??? Are these skills innate to some individuals or can they be learned?
