“…The best cost strategy emphasizes the competence of the company; thus, its competitiveness is very high. In addition, the number of competitors and substitute goods also is tiny [55]. These three strategies have their respective areas of excellence, so no provision solely determines which strategy is the best of all, because it depends on the type of business or product type, market share, and various other factors.…”

“…The intricate and challenging startup procedures, combined with the inherent risks of establishing new business ventures, make the lack of entrepreneurial experience a major obstacle for individuals aiming to turn their business ideas into functioning businesses (Lamb et al, 2022;Schulze and Dada, 2024).

PurposeEntrepreneurship education is widely regarded as a fundamental means of fostering individuals' entrepreneurial intentions. In this paper, we delve into a distinctive empirical context: the integration of entrepreneurship education within Indonesia’s nationwide higher education system since 2010. Our goal is to investigate how prior participation in mandatory entrepreneurship training by company employees influences their inclination to leave their current employment and initiate a new business.Design/methodology/approachWe employed structural equation modeling to analyze empirical data (n = 337) collected from full-time Indonesian employees in established companies.FindingsOur findings indicate that previous engagement in entrepreneurship education predicts employees' entrepreneurial intentions, leading to reduced commitment to their current careers and an increased likelihood of having intentions to pursue new ventures. By comparing two groups of participants, our results suggest that government-mandated entrepreneurship education in Indonesia has a more substantial impact on employees' entrepreneurial intentions and turnover intentions.Originality/valueThis study, based on a unique sample from Indonesia, explores the entrepreneurial entry of organizational employees and the long-term effects of entrepreneurship education.
