“…The odds ratio for networking is 1.431 which indicates that the relations with the existing entrepreneur increases the likelihood of becoming an entrepreneur by 1.5 times. This result also coincides with the previous findings in the entrepreneurship and intellectual capital literature (Arafat et al 2018;Ahmad et al 2014;Fernández et al 2009;Honjo 2015;Issue et al 2016;Liñán et al 2011;Mancilla and Amoros 2015;Matricano 2016;Pathak and Laplume 2015;Puriwat and Tripopsakul 2015;Ramos-rodríguez et al 2012).…”

Purpose: Although the intellectual capital (IC) has already received much attention from the researchers in the field of innovation performance, there is still a paucity in the measuring of the role of IC in venture creation. The present study is an attempt to examine the influence of IC on start-ups. Methodology: In this study, a large data set of 3360 respondents from India provided by the largest entrepreneurship research project GEM has been used. A logistic regression technique has been applied to measure the influence of IC on the entrepreneurial intentions. Findings: It has been found that the components of intellectual capital, i.e., knowledge and skills, entrepreneurial opportunities, and the network, has a positive and significant impact on the entrepreneurial intentions. Contribution: To the best of our knowledge, it is among the initial studies, which have examined the relationship between intellectual capital and entrepreneurial intentions. Only a few studies have already been done in developing countries like India by using a large data set.

“…However, given the fact that the entrepreneurial activity determinants are sensitive to time and a country's GDP [5,18,19], the study examines two different moments in time, namely 2007 and 2014, in order to capture the fluctuations in entrepreneurial activities, and the effects of different perceptual factors, in less and high developed European member states.Although, the specific body of research offers a long list of variables influencing the entrepreneurial activities, some studies offer mixed results. For instance, in certain analyses, the fear of failure is not always statistically significant [20] and does not prevent people from becoming entrepreneurs in certain industries [21]. These results are not coherent with the existing literature on entrepreneurship by Beynon et al [8]; Albulescu, Tamasila [10], and do not support the fear of failure as a trigger of early-stage entrepreneurial activity.…”

“…Entrepreneurs reduce the fear of failure in other environments where approval of entrepreneurship is high, while this effect is significantly weaker in low-approval environments. Arafat et al [21] studied the determinants of entrepreneurship in the agricultural industry using APS (Adult Population Survey) data from 69 countries provided by GEM 2013 [42]. The results showed that the fear of failure or the perception of risk does not prevent people from becoming entrepreneurs, and moreover, this finding is at odds with the existing literature on entrepreneurship, which shows that the fear of failure discourages entrepreneurial activity.…”

The objective of this study involves identifying the influence of different perceptual attributes on the likelihood of engaging in early-stage entrepreneurial activities (TEA). The study correspondingly applies individual data based on the statistics gathered from Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) Adult Population Survey database for 18 European Countries in 2007 and 2014. We performed several logistic regression analyses in order to test the influence of some entrepreneurial attributes on the propensity to engage in TEA. We identified four perceptual determinants: Capability to identify opportunity; having the skills, knowledge and experience to start up a business; fear of failure; and knowing other entrepreneurs. We tested their effect along with some control variables and interaction effects. The results confirm the importance of these factors in explaining entrepreneurial activities across different economies.

“…In the present scenario, high attention is being given to the venture creation as it is considered as an important tool pertaining to economic development that generates employment at every level and enhances creativity and innovation with regard to opportunity and socio-economic welfare in the economy (Zoltan J Acs, Desai, & Klapper, 2008;Arafat, Saleem, Dviwedi, & Khan, 2018). Reynolds et al (2005) contend that entrepreneurship helps in adjusting the economic system mainly by following the course of actions: "creating new businesses," "refocusing of the present businesses," and "reorientation of national institutions."…”
