entrepreneurial orientations of students and
entrepreneurs support the fidelity of their
interactions and create broader opportunities for
online knowledge sharing and reusing some part of
the created knowledge in new courses
Blended learning can assist students in acquiring
knowledge management skills and involve them in
communities of practice that are not limited to the
time and space of the blended course itself.
Business and entrepreneurship students should
be encouraged to study their attitudes towards
international knowledge sharing for identifying new
business opportunities that can be implemented in
virtual communities.
