Abstract

This thesis examines the integration of Cultural Intelligence (CQ) in entrepreneurial education, specifically in the Minor in International Entrepreneurship and Development program at TU Delft. It identifies a significant gap in the current curriculum regarding CQ training, crucial for navigating the culturally diverse landscape of global business. Through an analysis of existing frameworks, interviews with students and professionals, and curriculum evaluation, the thesis highlights the shortcomings in preparing students for international entrepreneurship. It proposes curriculum enhancements focusing on experiential learning and reflection to foster cultural understanding and adaptability. These recommendations aim to equip students with the necessary skills to succeed in a multicultural entrepreneurial environment, making the program more comprehensive and globally relevant.
