Abstract

The objective of this chapter is to study how quality education influences entrepreneurial intention and to achieve sustainable human capital management. Methodology: We apply an ANOVA and the Levene’s test of homogeneity of variances in a sample composed of 1025 students from the 6 main faculty departments of Tecnológico de Monterrey in Guadalajara, Mexico, to study how gender, the level of studies, and parents’ schooling determine the entrepreneurial intention of students. Findings: (1) The type of studies chosen by studies affect to their entrepreneurial intention; (2) for the sample analyzed, women have a similar entrepreneurial intention than men, so gender is not a crucial factor for entrepreneurial intention; and (3) parents’ occupation and their higher level of studies positively determine the entrepreneurial intention on their children and allow reaching a sustainable human capital management.
