Lecturers' perceptions on Entrepreneurial education in Malaysian universities

1. Why important to know lecturers' perception?

1.1. To know why lecturers still practice traditional teaching approach despite the urge to incorporate more entrepreneurial approach

1.2. important as this is the basis for further studies; the possible support needed to help the lecturers, the effectiveness of EE across disciplines,

1.3. Lecturers are the important source for change to happen, if they don't understand EE, how can they play their role?

1.4. this also possibly justify why prev studies only focus on students entrepreneurial inclination, because we lack focus on developing the entrepreneurial competence, why? because we don't look at how lecturers from other disciplines can also contribute to the success of EE.
