The objective of this article is to investigate students as a young generation and their intention to start their own business by analysing the internal and external factors of entrepreneurial intentions in Indonesia. Research Design & Methods:The research sample included 652 undergraduate students spread across universities on the five largest islands in Indonesia collected using an online survey form sent using email and group chat. The collected data was analysed by using partial least square-structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) to investigate the proposed hypotheses in the model. Findings: The results indicated that from the structural model, we confirmed that entrepreneurial self-efficacy shows non-significant results on entrepreneurial intention. However, the most considerable effect of the supporting condition demonstrated better results on entrepreneurial self-efficacy rather than on behavioural control. Implications & Recommendations:The non-significance effect of entrepreneurial selfefficacy on entrepreneurial intention indicated that having sufficient knowledge regarding entrepreneurship is not enough without the confidence to apply it. Contribution & Value Added: From the empirical evidence, this research has two implications for educators: it is crucial to improve student creativity and to increase the role of external stakeholders to develop entrepreneurial spirit among the students.

The data was analyzed by using GSCA analysis due to its ability to explore the effect amongst variable while ensuring the consistencies. The results present that all exogenous variables show a positive and significant effect, though the only variable showing non-significant effect is the performance expectancies. The greatest effect is shown by the social factor on attitude towards the social commerce.

Social commerce is a new development of e-commerce by using social media platform to interact on the internet. Current studies only examine the model on its own basis by using direct effect only. This research examines both of the model together to reveal which factor that give the greater effects against consumer trust and purchasing intention both direct effect, indirect effects and total effects. Drawing a literature from marketing and information systems (IS) the author proposes a model to understand the relationship between social commerce construct and the brand image against the purchasing intention in Instagram. The study utilized Generalized Structured Component Analysis (GSCA) methodology to test the model. The research object was the @fujifilm_id instagram followers as many as 99 respondents. Results shows that social commerce construct are likely to give greater effect against the purchase intention rather than by the brand image whether in direct, indirect and total effect. Yet, the brand image is a crucial part of a brand which is needed to be maintained against customer perspective. Implication, limitation, discussion and future research direction are also discussed.
