Abstract

Entrepreneurial intentions are among the most researched phenomena in the field of entrepreneurship, but its real value is in the new doors it is opening. The increase in entrepreneurial intentions research during the 1980s and 1990s coincides with the introduction of contributions from the field of psychology: social psychology, cognitive psychology and now developmental psychology and even neuroscience. What we are now finding is advancing theory, research, practice and especially education. Entrepreneurial intentions may affect entrepreneurial behavior and, subsequently, venture development and growth, but the more we study intentions, the more we need to look deeper at where intent actually arises. This chapter celebrates this still-growing trajectory with a look at how it has evolved and an example of where it is heading.

We would also note that Per Davidsson attempted to develop a model of entrepreneurial intentions from first principles (1995); he found the same antecedents.
