The Evaluation of Entrepreneur Incubation Program at Higher Education

Abstract

This research aims to identify the determinant factors of entrepreneurship in the case of university students. Internal and External factors are the focus of this research. We evaluate the perceived opportunity as an internal factor and facilities provided by the university as an external factor. The perceived opportunity is one factor that influences people's intention to establish a business the most. University facilities are an external factor in the most valuable help that university could provide for students to encourage them. This research also more in-depth evaluates student perception of business incubation programs in both universities. This research evaluated primary data from Jenderal Soedirman University, Indonesia, and Debrecen University, Hungary. Data was collected using a questionnaire. The results show that the perceived opportunity has a significant impact on the intention to establish a business. However, the business incubation program from campus does not affect student intention to establish a business. A more interesting finding is that Indonesian students have the lowest belief about the impact of business incubation programs compared to Hungarian and international students. This research's further implication is that the business incubation program needed to be improved to impact student willingness to establish a business significantly.

“…Perceived opportunity is a crucial factor that constructs people's aspiration and intention for selfemployement (Suroso et al, 2020). The term 'perceived opportunity' (PO) means the recognition of opportunities by potential entrepreneurs (Wasdani & Mathew, 2014).…”

“…EI is positively affected by PO (Arab & Sofiyabadi, 2013), that is, people who can more efficiently recognise market opportunities are more inclined to consider self-employment (Bohlmann et al, 2017). Adequate/decent entrepreneurial opportunities can generate intention and enthusiasm for potential entrepreneurs (Suroso et al, 2020). Compared to passive entrepreneurship (forced by livelihoods), opportunity-driven entrepreneurial activities are more intend to form growthoriented entities and embed in industrial trends (Angulo-Guerrero et al, 2017).…”
