TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the literature on entrepreneurial intention is carried out, which offers a clearer picture of the sub-fields in entrepreneurial intention research, by concentrating on two aspects: citation analysis and thematic analysis.
Abstract: 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 stock of current knowledge in this field. In this sense, this paper carries out a review of the literature on entrepreneurial intentions. A total of 409 papers addressing entrepreneurial intention, published between 2004 and 2013 (inclusive), have been analyzed. The purpose and contribution of this paper is to offer a clearer picture of the sub-fields in entrepreneurial intention research, by concentrating on two aspects. Firstly, it reviews recent research by means of a citation analysis to categorize the main areas of specialization currently attracting the attention of the academic community. Secondly, a thematic analysis is carried out to identify the specific themes being researched within each category. Despite the large number of publications and their diversity, the present study identifies five main research areas, plus an additional sixth category for a number of new research papers that cannot be easily classified into the five areas. Within those categories, up to twenty-five different themes are recognized. A number of research gaps are singled out within each of these areas of specialization, in order to induce new ways and perspectives in the entrepreneurial intention field of research that may be fruitful in filling these gaps.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose to operationalize the concept of entrepreneurial intention and its antecedents in an attempt to address those issues, and propose an original research design where they measure the initial state and persistence of the impact and not only short-term effects, and deal with a compulsory program, allowing to avoid self-selection biases.
Abstract: Do entrepreneurship education programs (EEPs) really influence participants' attitudes and intention toward entrepreneurship? How is this influence related to past experience and how does it persist? Researchers and entrepreneurship education stakeholders alike have been looking into this question for quite a while, with a view to validating the efficacy of such programs. The authors of this paper propose to operationalize the concept of entrepreneurial intention and its antecedents in an attempt to address those issues. In particular, we propose an original research design where (1) we measure the initial state and persistence of the impact and not only short‐term effects; (2) we deal with a compulsory program, allowing to avoid self‐selection biases; and (3) we deal with an homogeneous "compact" program rather than programs combining multiple teaching components whose effects cannot be disentangled. Our main research results show that the positive effects of an EEP are all the more marked when previous entrepreneurial exposure has been weak or inexistent. Conversely, for those students who had previously significantly been exposed to entrepreneurship, the results highlight significant countereffects of the EEP on those participants.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on two psychological factors that can explain why some people with entrepreneurial intentions act when others do not, and address the missing link between entrepreneurial intention and behaviour from a sociopsychological approach, in order to enhance our knowledge of the entrepreneurial process.
Abstract: Since 1980s, many authors have studied the entrepreneurial process based on the intention models developed in the sociopsychological literature. Determinants of intention were defined, but as shown by Ajzen (1987), no direct link was established between intention and action: intentions were found to explain only about 30% of the variance in behaviour. Some authors tried to bridge this gap, by focusing more specifically on environmental factors. Our paper is in line with works by Shane et al. (2003), in studying factors at the micro level. Drawing on the sociopsychological literature, it focuses on two psychological factors that can explain why some people with entrepreneurial intentions act when others do not. As it addresses the missing link between entrepreneurial intention and behaviour from a sociopsychological approach, the main contribution of this theoretical paper is to enhance our knowledge of the entrepreneurial process, in order to improve the training and support of nascent entrepreneurs.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a range of current works that further increase our understanding about social network dynamics during the entrepreneurial process and propose an integrative perspective required to move thinking forward.
Abstract: A critical challenge for entrepreneurship scholars is the need to develop a greater understanding of (1) how, when and why entrepreneurial networks emerge, develop and change over time and (2) how network evolution impacts on the entrepreneurial trajectory. This special issue of Entrepreneurship & Regional Development begins to address these challenges by presenting a range of current works that further increase our understanding about social network dynamics during the entrepreneurial process. We begin by connecting this special issue to some of the main challenges of the field of entrepreneurship. From this, we propose an integrative perspective required to move thinking forward. We then summarize how the diverse papers presented in this special issue contribute to opening up the research field further and help us develop a greater understanding about the challenges entrepreneurship scholars face. We conclude this article with lessons and suggestions for future research.

TL;DR: The authors analyzed ten case studies to unveil the relationships between the process of opportunity formation (creation or identification), the cognitive style of the entrepreneur (intuitive or analytical) and the decision-making process (causal or effectual).
Abstract: Among the questions yet to be answered concerning entrepreneurial opportunities is that related to the nature of the opportunity (Alvarez et al., 2013), the cognitive style of the entrepreneur (Cardon et al., 2009), and the decision-making process (Sarasvathy, 2001). The process of opportunity identification is often associated with an analytical cognitive style, whereas an individual may also be guided by intuition in effectual decision-making to construct an opportunity. Here we analyze ten case studies to unveil the relationships between the process of opportunity formation (creation or identification), the cognitive style of the entrepreneur (intuitive or analytical) and the decision-making process (causal or effectual). We find that the relation is not systematic, and that firm industry and position in the sector are determinant.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify how the perceptions of the entrepreneur on the nature of the opportunity and his/her cognitive style (analytical/intuitive) influence the process of opportunity pursuit, and find that if expected alignments (analysis/causation/objective opportunity versus intuition/effectuation/constructed opportunity) appear, they are not systematic.
Abstract: The aim of this qualitative study is to identify how the perceptions of the entrepreneur on the nature of the opportunity (objective reality/social construction) and his/her cognitive style (analytical/intuitive) influence the process of opportunity pursuit (analytic process/intuition-based process). We find that if expected alignments (analysis/causation/objective opportunity versus intuition/effectuation/constructed opportunity) appear, they are not systematic, and that firm industry and position in the sector are determinant.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that the concept of entrepreneurship is becoming institutionalized, increasingly oriented by influential trends, theories and methods, following the mainstream and being shaped accordingly, and raise questions about the nature and process of entrepreneurship research.
Abstract: Entrepreneurship is a growing field of research, attracting researchers from many different disciplines including economics, sociology, psychology, and management. The concept of entrepreneurship, and research in the field, is becoming institutionalized, increasingly oriented by influential trends, theories and methods, following the mainstream and being shaped accordingly. The objective of this book is to move beyond mainstream approaches and assumptions which are dominating the field, and to raise questions about the nature and process of entrepreneurship research. Over twelve chapters, leading international thinkers in the field debate the impact and the consequences of institutionalization. Taking key research orientations including multidisciplinarity, international entrepreneurship, social entrepreneurship, and ethics, it takes a critical and constructive and sometimes controversial posture and encourages a re-examination of the way we look at the social and economic phenomenon of entrepreneurship. This book is vital reading for entrepreneurship researchers and educators, advanced students and policy-makers in Entrepreneurship, Economics, Sociology and Psychology.
TL;DR: The constat est encore plus marque for tous ceux qui sinteressent a l'etude de la phase ante creation du processus entrepreneurial as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: Les travaux de recherche sur le reseau entrepreneurial ne cessent de croitre. Cependant les connaissances produites sur les dynamiques de construction de ce reseau en fonction du temps restent limitees. Ce constat est encore plus marque pour tous ceux qui s’interessent a l’etude de la phase ante creation du processus entrepreneurial. En prenant comme fondement theorique de l’entrepreneuriat la conception de Bruyat (1993), les auteurs ont suivi pendant deux ans la formation progressive du reseau entrepreneurial. Ils ont mobilise la theorie de l’acteur-reseau pour etudier cette dynamique dans une situation de creation d’entreprise innovante.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the processes or conditions through which firms used to construct their competitive advantage by investigating, how far the resource that spinoff already has constrained, or determine the acquisition of next ones.
Abstract: The role of firm’s resources or specifically knowledge in achieving sustained competitive advantage has been well established in strategic management literature. To strengthen their competitive advantage, extent or enrich their knowledge base, firms used to hire people embedding appropriate human capital. Whereas the nature of this competitive advantage has been largely investigated, it is not exactly the case for the processes or conditions through which firms used to construct it. This paper wants to contribute to a better understanding of how it is constructed by investigating, how far the resource that spinoff already has constrained, or determine the acquisition of next ones.
