“…Despite contradictory findings, there is a large literature indicating that entrepreneurs differ from non-entrepreneurs on a range of characteristics including cognitive biases (Baron 1998;Busenitz and Barney 1997), intuition (Allinson et al 2000), risk taking propensity (Stewart and Roth 2001) and taste for variety (Å stebro and Thompson 2011). In addition, the theoretical classics of Schumpeter (1934), Kirzner (1979) and Knight (1921) emphasize innovation, opportunity perception, and handling uncertainty, respectively, as defining characteristics of entrepreneurs.…”

Little is known about the relation between entrepreneurship and the extent of psychiatric symptoms. Validated psychiatric symptom scores are seldom used for non-clinical reasons. One prevalent symptom that deserves our interest is Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). ADHD is a developmental disorder characterized by inattentiveness and hyperactivity that has been linked to occupational choice and performance. Building on the person-environment fit literature, we hypothesize that individuals who exhibit behavior associated with ADHD are more likely to have entrepreneurial intentions. Using a sample of 10,104 students enrolled in higher education, we can confirm our prediction that students with a higher level of ADHD-like behavior are more likely to have entrepreneurial intentions. Additionally, we show that risk taking propensity is a mediator that partly explains this positive effect. Our study points to the importance of behavioral tendencies associated with developmental disorders, when making entrepreneurship decisions. Our study contributes to the literature on the determinants of entrepreneurship, which so far has largely neglected the effects of psychiatric symptoms on entrepreneurship.Electronic supplementary material The online version of this article

“…Literature suggests that occupations that are likely to favour relatively unconstrained thinking (e.g., creative artists, entrepreneurs) tend to score towards the intuitive end of the CSI scale, whereas those likely to adopt a more structured, systematic approach (e.g., engineers, accountants) tend towards the analytical pole [20]. Similarly, the studies by Brigham et al [27] and Allinson et al [28] found that the owner-managers of high growth firms were significantly more intuitive than managers in the general population. This is consistent with the idea that intuition is a necessary quality for those operating in an environment characterised by incomplete information, time pressure, ambiguity and uncertainty.…”

“…L'intuition jouerait un rôle important dans les processus cognitifs mis en oeuvre pour détecter des opportunités de marché, et il y aurait une corréla-tion positive entre intuition et intentions de croissance des entrepreneurs (Dutta et Thornhill, 2008 ;Ravasi et Turati, 2005 ;Allinson et al, 2000). Selon Dutta et Crossan (2005), la décou-verte d'une opportunité entrepreneuriale se déroule dans quatre temps, à travers quatre types de processus cognitifs et sociaux distincts.…”

Concept pluridisciplinaire en philosophie, psychologie et anthropologie, l’intuition a fait son entrée dans la littérature entrepreneuriale ces dix dernières années. Pourtant, de nombreux entrepreneurs la citaient depuis longtemps comme un élément clé de leur réussite en affaires. Quelle est la représentation sociale de l’intuition dans le champ de l’entrepreneuriat ? Quels sont ses liens avec la prise de décision et le comportement des entrepreneurs novices et consacrés ? Les représentations sociales influencent les perceptions collectives relatives à la désirabilité et la faisabilité entrepreneuriales. Les médias exercent une fonction centrale dans l’élaboration et la circulation des représentations sociales. Nous avons étudié la représentation sociale de l’intuition dans la presse française à partir d’un corpus de 700 articles de la base Lexis Nexis, entre le 5 août 2003 et le 5 août 2012. À partir d’une grille d’analyse du discours, nous avons classé et étudié ces documents afin d’identifier les éléments centraux de l’image de l’intuition dans l’espace public français – contextes d’occurrences, sources d’énonciation, impacts perçus sur l’entrepreneur et son entreprise. Nos résultats ont des implications théoriques et pratiques pour la communication de sensibilisation à la création d’entreprise, ainsi que pour l’accompagnement et l’éducation entrepreneuriale.
