La littérature sur les déterminants de la croissance des PME est abondante. Les principaux facteurs étudiés concernent les caractéristiques de l’industrie, de l’entreprise, de la stratégie et de l’entrepreneur. L’idée soutenue dans ce travail est que les déterminants traditionnels de la croissance, et notamment les caractéristiques initiales du dir...
Research has sought to better understand the antecedents of ethical decision-making, especially in businesses. Yet, researchers found no clear relationship between religion or religiosity and ethics. This study contributes to research on religiosity and ethics by examining the impact of religiosity on business ethics among university students. Usin...
Entrepreneurs have often been considered as either belonging to the necessity or to the opportunity category based on their motivations when they started their organization. However, the necessity/opportunity entrepreneurship dichotomy is too limiting and the boundary between opportunity and necessity is certainly not as clear-cut as it is assumed....
This article explores religion and religiosity in the field of entrepreneurship. Based on an original, international dataset of 740 students, we examine the impact of individual religious affiliation (Protestant, Catholic or Muslim) or non-affiliation (Agnostic/Atheist) on entrepreneurial intentions. We further examine the influence of individual r...
Cette étude explore le sujet largement ignoré de la religion dans le domaine de l’entrepreneuriat. À partir d’une base de données originale constituée de 295 étudiants belges et français, nous examinons l’impact de l’appartenance religieuse individuelle (protestante, catholique, musulmane, etc.) ou de la non-affiliation (agnostique ou athée) sur le...
Résumé
En utilisant les données individuelles de 30 329 ex-entrepreneurs 1 provenant de la base de données du GEM entre 2007 et 2013, nous avons testé l’impact des raisons de sortie volontaires et involontaires ainsi que d’autres déterminants (les capitaux humain et social ainsi que la peur de l’échec) sur l’intention de recréer après une sortie d’...
This paper presents a critical review of the extensively used push/necessity and pull/opportunity view of entrepreneurial motivations. Based on the Entrepreneurial Event theory (Shapero, 1975; 1984), we show that the Necessity-Opportunity dichotomous approach is over simplified and identify its three main limitations. First, this dichotomy does not...

Nous analysons dans cet article l’influence des responsabilités familiales sur l’intention de croissance des entrepreneurs naissants. A l’instar de Jennings et McDougald (2007) et Davis et Shaver (2012), nous accordons une attention particulière aux statuts parental et marital pour étudier l’intention de croissance. Dans la perspective de l’enracin...
Depuis plusieurs années, la littérature relative à l’entrepreneuriat de nécessité
et d’opportunité a montré que ces deux types d’entrepreneuriat conduisent à
des comportements entrepreneuriaux très différents. Certains chercheurs soutiennent
aussi l’idée qu’il existe plusieurs types d’entrepreneurs de nécessité
et d’opportunité. Sur base de ces élé...
In this article, we examine whether university students are optimistic and/or overconfident about entrepreneurship, and the impact this has on their entrepreneurial intentions. We do so in three different nations corresponding to three different cultural clusters. Findings suggest that, students are optimistic—with American students being the most...

While an entrepreneurial career requires some level of optimism and confidence, unfounded optimism and overconfidence can be detrimental to entrepreneurial success. By comparing student and faculty perceptual differences, we assess whether university students are overly optimistic regarding the outcomes they expect from an entrepreneurial career as...
This paper examines how culture and gender shape entrepreneurial perceptions and intentions within Hofstede's cultural dimensions framework and gender role theory. We test whether gender differences exist in the way university students in three nations perceive barriers to entrepreneurship and whether gender has a moderating effect on the relations...
Should entrepreneurship education be the same in every country or should it be adapted to each context? In addition to answering
this question, it appears to be important to identify the concerns students have regarding their entrepreneurship education
programs, so as to strengthen their perceptions of feasibility and desirability of an entrepreneu...
Few studies have tried to identify the impact of the socio-economic characteristics of entrepreneurs on their opportunity-necessity positioning. Based on a sample of 538 entrepreneurs, we point out that individuals who get involved in an entrepreneurial process, have encountered a situation of necessity and/or opportunity and that the latter can ta...
L’objectif de cette étude est de mettre en évidence l’influence des motivations de contrainte et volontaires sur le choix sectoriel de l’individu. Pour ce faire, nous utilisons un échantillon de 538 créateurs d’entreprises. À l’issue de notre étude, deux constats émergent. Premièrement, nos résultats indiquent qu’il existe bien entre les différents...
Les méthodologies quantitatives dans la recherche francophone en entrepreneuriat et en gestion des PME 50 par Olivier Giacomin et Frank Janssen Résumé Cet article examine la part et la nature des recherches quantitatives au sein de la littérature francophone en entrepreneuriat et en gestion des PME. Nous montrons que, depuis 2005, l'utilisation d'a...
Using a sample of 828 students and faculty in Belgium and the U.S., we study differences in entrepreneurial interest between groups and across countries. We look at perceptions of motives and barriers, as well as entrepreneurial characteristics and intentions. Our results show significant differences between Belgian and American students on these d...
Recent studies on necessity and opportunity entrepreneurs show that these two profiles could lead to different entrepreneurial behaviors. Opportunity entrepreneurs are more growth oriented, innovative and successful - in terms of firm survival rate - than necessity entrepreneurs. These differences could result from dissimilarities in the gestation...
