“…In the first variable (do your parents own a company), there is a statistically significant connection (p <0.05) with questions 8 (p <0.013), 34 (p <0.000) and 39 (p <0.008), while there is no connection with other questions. Our research confirms the results of earlier research (Langer et al, 2016;Keat, Selvarajah & Meyer, 2011) that there is a statistically significant connection between entrepreneurial intentions of students and their family heritage, i.e. the entrepreneurial environment in which they have grown up.…”

“…In some aspects, entrepreneurship is considered the essence of dynamics in contemporary capitalism, so authors already use the term entrepreneurial society (Audretsch, 2007). Empirical research studies show that there is visible commitment to entrepreneurship, regarding students and basic reference groups (families, friends, peers) that affect their entrepreneurial intentions (Langer et al, 2016). Entrepreneurship can not be viewed separately from individuals who have characteristics that are inherent in them.…”

This paper analytically presents the factors of entrepreneurial intentions of students in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH). The research problem can be defined by the question whether today a university can be called an “entrepreneurial university” which educates, prepares and encourages students to start their own business as a career option independently? Do economic policies of small countries contribute to their significant role in encouraging entrepreneurship, and what are predictors of entrepreneurial intentions of students? The study was conducted on a sample of 351 students at the Faculty of Economics of the University of Banja Luka in April 2016, based on previously empirically verified questionnaire that measures the support of closer social environment (friends and family), self-efficacy and acceptability of entrepreneurship as a career, as well as the entrepreneurial intention, through three dimensions of time - starting a business immediately after the end of their formal academic education, within 5 years after graduation and in an indefinite moment in the future. The methods of descriptive statistics, factor and correlation analyses have been applied. The aim of the research is to determine the predictors of entrepreneurial intentions of students in small countries in transition in the case ofstudents from BiH at the early stage during their education and whether their entrepreneurialintentions are influenced by the economic policies through the constructionof entrepreneurial infrastructure institutions? The research results indicate theexistence of clearly defined and mutually comparable latent variables that can beidentified as factors of entrepreneurial intentions of students. Personal competenceand motivation of students are predictors of entrepreneurial intentions, which isnot the case with the “entrepreneurial university” and the institutional support forentrepreneurs who are beginners.

“…Muchos son los que se han referido a la importancia del emprendimiento y la innovación como catalizadores de una "nueva ola de desarrollo económico" (Morris et al, 2013), si bien entendiendo dicho comportamiento de manera mucho más amplia que la mera puesta en marcha de nuevas empresas, ampliándolo a individuos y organizaciones focalizados en la búsqueda de oportunidades, la asunción de riesgos, la tenacidad para la superación de obstáculos o la implementación de nuevas ideas, entre otras manifestaciones del espíritu emprendedor (Kuratko y Morris, 2018). Y es en este ámbito donde reside el importante papel que el sistema educativo puede jugar como uno de los principales determinantes del desarrollo económico y social (Langer et al, 2016).…”

“…En general, la educación emprendedora en las universidades puede informar y motivar al estudiantado y, por lo tanto, aumentar indirectamente su disposición a considerar el emprendimiento como una carrera profesional, contribuyendo con ello al fortalecimiento del tejido productivo en la economía del conocimiento. De esta manera, los sistemas educativos que alientan a tomar iniciativas y fomentan la proactividad e innovación afectan directamente en la intención empren-dedora de los estudiantes (Langer et al, 2016).…”

“…Others examined students' intention to become entrepreneurs in relation to perceived behaviour control, perceived support and perceived barriers [4]. Based on Langer et al, [6], two relevant models of students' entrepreneurial intent and perception could be identified (Figure 2). Both are starting from the assumption that entrepreneurial activity is the result of intentional behaviour.…”

Abstract:Entrepreneurship is one of the main generators of economic growth which helps in employment of young educated people. Entrepreneurship perceptions and entrepreneurship intention present the advantages and key factors in further development of entrepreneurship of any university. Students are the generators of future development and their perceptions and attitudes of entrepreneurship could considerably determinate the future business activity. Intentions provided to be the best predictor of planned behavior, particularly when that behavior is rare, hard to observe, or involves unpredictable time lags. Meanwhile, the perception can be identify through the external factors of the students towards the entrepreneurial activities and programs held by university. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the process of student's intentions towards entrepreneurship and several important factors that significantly influence on student entrepreneurship perception on this field. The objective of this conceptual study is to identify the factors that contribute to the main intention and perception students towards entrepreneurship program. Besides, this study will enhance the theoretical framework of intention and perception towards entrepreneurship among university students and the various factors that form the students' perspectives on entrepreneurship programs.
