„What Affects the Entrepreneurial Intention?” – Understanding and Analysing Factors of Entrepreneurial Intention of Nascent Entrepreneurs Influenced by Family Business Background

Abstract

It is not easy to identify a single research gap for an article-based doctoral dissertation, as each paper aims to address a different research problem. In addition, the articles in an article-based dissertation are written and published at different times. At the same time, the focus of this research stream changes several times during the completion of the doctoral programme. In some cases, what was considered a significant research gap in the past may be satisfactorily addressed a few years later. The purpose of my dissertation is to fill a research gap by developing a framework of the phenomenon of entrepreneurial intention that examines the relationship between family business background and specific factors of entrepreneurial intention and entrepreneurial motivation.
