The respondent sample was former students at Luleå University of Technology) and the questionnaire was sent to two different groups of respondents, a Respond group (who had passed an entrepreneurial education) and a Control group (who had not passed an entrepreneurial education). The respondents had the same educational background unless the entrepreneurial education. In addition to the survey three (short) telephone interviews were performed.
