Contemporary research has shown that entrepreneurial intention (EI) has become an increasingly popular topic of investigation. That being said, whereas the parent field of entrepreneurship is acknowledging its inherent dynamic and processual nature, the same is not true of EI. The current article therefore seeks to apply an emerging meta-theoretica...

The social context exerts an influence on the individuals’ perception and, thus, on start-up decisions. The prevalence of entrepreneurial behaviors differs widely between countries. Economic variables alone are not enough to explain these differences. In this sense, culture seems to play a relevant role in the entrepreneurial process. Cultural dive...

In this chapter we argue that personal values influence motivation and intention to exploit business ideas. The aim is to investigate which values direct individuals willing to start up their ventures out of an opportunity, compared to those who would start their venture out of necessity. To address this aim, we combine the literature on entreprene...

This article argues that cultural and personal values are relevant in the formation of entrepreneurial intentions, and that the interplay between both value-levels deserves attention. Individualist values such as achievement, pleasure, self-direction, and an exciting and stimulating life are related to entrepreneurial intention and activity, both a...

This study analyzes the interplay between gender differences and the social environment in the formation of entrepreneurial intentions. Data were obtained from two different European regions.

Entrepreneurial intention is a rapidly evolving field of research. A growing number of studies use entrepreneurial intention as a powerful theoretical framework. However, a substantial part of this research lacks systematization and categorization, and there seems to be a tendency to start anew with every study. Therefore, there is a need to take s...

When evaluating the relevance of actions within the area of entrepreneurship education, the quite remarkable national and regional differences regarding entrepreneurial culture, entrepreneurial potential and, of course, the business structure, have to be taken into account. Based on these differences, there is a need to specifically design entrepre...

Spain’s high rates of unemployment have always been a cause for concern, although the current economic crisis is aggravating the problem to extreme limits.
