Abstract

Business and Management entrepreneurial intentions intrapreneurship corporate entrepreneurship
The formation of entrepreneurial intentions should be expected to depend upon the nature of the entrepreneurial behaviour contemplated. Self-employed entrepreneurship and corporate employment as an intrapreneur should be expected to differ in terms of potential incomes, decision-making autonomy, degree of ownership and risk exposure. Accordingly, we should expect the choice between these alternative career paths to be related to differences in the individual's attitudes to these issues. We hypothesize and find empirically that there are significant differences in the attitudinal variables that determine entrepreneurial intentions as compared to intrapreneurial intentions.
