Sources used include student feedback over a number of years at various stages of the learning cycle as well as curriculum and module developments, first destination information with external examiner's and tutor's reports.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Findings<\/jats:title><jats:p>One of the key criticisms of the Honey and Mumford approach is that thinking is treated as concluding not starting. In this model, which revises the Kolb and Honey and Mumford Models, it is suggested that the environment of the learner is integral to the development of the learner. This has formed the basis for a model, which outlines the three dimensions of enterprise in the forms of envisioning, energising, and expediting.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Research limitations\/implications<\/jats:title><jats:p>There is further scope for research by widening the parameters of the research. This could be implemented at other institutions of higher education and gives a solution to one of the cost and resource problems currently besetting higher education globally.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Practical implications<\/jats:title><jats:p>The key elements of students initially working in teams widens the immediate networks on which they can draw and with the mix in the team they can gain a synergy of vision, energy and expediting. This revision of Kolb's learning cycle is challenging and engaging and makes the participants more fitted for the small and general business environment on graduation.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Originality\/value<\/jats:title><jats:p>Reporting a longitudinal case study with a substantial reflective element, it provides a basis for sharing experience and practice.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1108\/00012530810924348","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,11,22]],"date-time":"2008-11-22T07:01:48Z","timestamp":1227337308000},"page":"686-700","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["The small enterprise as the authentic learning environment opportunity (SEALEO)"],"prefix":"10.1108","volume":"60","author":[{"given":"Janette","family":"Munro","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Roger","family":"Cook","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"140","reference":[{"key":"key2022021820080762000_b1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Caple, J. and Martin, P.
