“…The fact that fewer females indicated an interest in starting a business may relate to the informal observation that women generally may have a lower risk propensity and are therefore more cautious when it comes to starting a business. This supports the findings of other researchers, including for instance Kourilsky and Walstad (1998), Delmar and Davidsson (2000), de Bruin et al (2007) and Wilson et al (2007), who found that men had a significantly stronger preference for self-employment than women.…”

An investigation of the intentions and knowledge of entrepreneurship of final-year university dentistry students is reported, with particular regard to the factors of gender and race. A questionnaire survey was used with final-year dentistry students, over two years, at the University of the Western Cape in South Africa. The findings show that dentistry students across race and gender groups believed that entrepreneurship education was important. At least half of the students showed an interest in starting a business practice soon after their graduation and completion of a mandatory one-year internship, with more male students indicating an interest in starting a business than female students. More Black African students indicated interest compared to other race groups (Coloureds, Whites and Indians). There were no significant differences between male and female students with regard to knowledge of entrepreneurship, but there were significant differences with regard to race in the scores for knowledge of entrepreneurship, with White students scoring the highest and African students the lowest. The authors conclude that entrepreneurship education should be included in the curriculum in the final year of dentistry studies to encourage business practice start-up soon after the one-year internship period, with the aim of contributing to growth in employment.

“…Entrepreneurial intentions increase the tendency for business creation (Rodrigues, Raposo, Ferreira & Paco, 2010) and result in entrepreneurial success (Dickson, Solomon &Weaver, 2008). Although it has not yet been proven empirically, entrepreneurial attitudes that may encourage entrepreneurship as a career option can be highly effective even before high school (Kourilsky & Walstad, 1998). Results of previous studies in the literature show that if certain types of education are promoted in the field of entrepreneurship, it results in a higher tendency for starting a business.…”

“…Considerando-se essa linha de raciocínio predominante na literatura e que sustenta o efeito estatisticamente positivo da EE sobre a intenção de empreender dos estudantes universitários (Alvarez & Busenitz, 2001;Franke & Luthje, 2004;Kourilsky & Walstad, 1998;Peterman & Kennedy, 2003), configura-se a seguinte hipótese a ser testada: Também ajuda a sustentar essa primeira hipótese a concepção introduzida no início deste artigo segundo a qual os diferentes processos que reforçam a díade intenção-potencial elevam progressivamente a intenção empreendedora. Com o auxílio do modelo de potencial empreendedor (Krueger & Brazeal, 1994), nota-se que a intensificação de fatores, como a autoeficácia em empreendedorismo, provocada pela EE ou outras atividades de preparação (Wilson, Kickul, & Marlino, 2007), eleva a intenção empreendedora.…”

O artigo tem por objetivo identificar formas de se melhorar a educação superior em empreendedorismo, focando o caso dos estudantes brasileiros interessados em ser seus própriospatrões, ou seja, emteremseus própriosnegócios. Eles são aqui chamados de fundadores intencionais. O estudo é um survey complementado por uma breve revisão da literatura. O questionário online foi respondido por 12.604 fundadores intencionais de um amplo espectro de cursos superiores de 37 instituições de ensino superior públicas e privadas brasileiras. Segundo suas respostas, eles têm mais alta demanda por educação em empreendedorismo e mais alta intenção empreendedora do que se vê em outros países. Três hipóteses foram testadas. Os resultados mostram que sua intenção de empreender e seu nível de crença em serem competentes para empreender com sucesso (self-efficacyou autoeficácia, em Português) são indiferentes à variação do quanto fazem de disciplinas e atividades de educação em empreendedorismo (EE) no ensino superior. Por outro lado, há relação significante e positiva entre a intenção empreendedora e a demanda por EE. A elevada demanda dos estudantes parece poder ser aproveitada como facilitadora do necessário aperfeiçoamento da EE no Brasil. As discussões e as conclusões do fim do artigo oferecem recomendações não apenas para a melhoria da educação superior, mas também para a realização de mais pesquisas.
