Abstract
From the standpoint of a psycho-sociological intention model adapted from the Theory of Planned Behavior, we analyze factors modeling students’ entrepreneurship intentions, as expressed by 7000 students of 24 different nationalities. We highlight the existence of differences in certain beliefs between countries. We then propose three structuring factors of student entrepreneurship intentions: type of entrepreneurship vision, opinion, and perceived capacity to create a business. Next, we construct a typology of student behaviors toward entrepreneurship intentions manifesting in six characterized clusters. We find that entrepreneurship intention behaviors are relatively supranational and are only slightly influenced by national education systems.
Keywords:
- entrepreneurship intentions,
- entrepreneurship,
- firm creation,
- business start-up,
- student intentions,
- intentions,
- culture
Résumé
A partir d’un modèle d’intentions psychosociologique, adapté de la Théorie du Comportement Planifié, nous analysons les facteurs modélisant les intentions entrepreneuriales de 7000 étudiants dans 24 pays. Nous montrons l’existence de différences dans certaines croyances suivant les pays. Nous proposons alors trois facteurs structurant les intentions entrepreneuriales des étudiants (le type de vision de l’entrepreneuriat, l’opinion et la capacité perçue à créer une entreprise). Puis nous construisons une typologie de ces intentions en six classes. Nous concluons que les comportements des étudiants en intention entrepreneuriales sont plutôt supranationaux et ne sont que peu influencés par les systèmes d’éducation nationaux.

Resumen
A partir del modelo psicosociológico de intenciones, adaptado de la teoría del comportamiento planificado, se analizaron los factores que modelan las intenciones de emprendimientos de 7000 estudiantes en 24 países. Se evidencia la existencia de diferencias en ciertas creencias entre los países. Se proponen tres factores que estructuran las intenciones (el tipo de visión de emprendimiento, la opinión y la capacidad que se percibe para fundar una empresa). Se presenta una tipología en seis clases. Concluimos que los comportamientos de los estudiantes con intenciones de emprendimientos están débilmente influenciados por los sistemas de educación nacional y relativamente dirigidos hacia ámbitos globales.
