The article presents the results of research into entrepreneurship education in economic and noneconomic study programmes of the College of Polytechnics Jihlava (n = 104). The College represents a regional public college of professional orientation in the Vysočina Region, where the business potential is relatively high. Significant differences in attitudes concerning entrepreneurship among students of economic and non-economic programmes have not been proven. As well the correlation between attitudes (interest in conducting business, having preconceptions to start a business and subjective evaluation of one's own ideas) and the students' knowledge of entrepreneurship was not significantly demonstrated. Despite these insignificant differences, there have been links in students' attitudes. Students of both programmes have a great interest in doing business even at the cost of having preconception to start a business. Above all, the high risk and uncertainty of business earnings are perceived very negatively. They also admit that they do not have enough knowledge and are thus afraid of starting a business, even though they have their own business ideas. Therefore, it is desirable to focus on new platforms for the development of entrepreneurship education and thus support the potential of students.

“…There have been a few studies of a more descriptive nature conducted in South India, especially in Tamil Nadu, with smaller samples using correlational techniques. These studies find that family income, parental history of business ownership (Rathika, 2012;Tamizharasi and Panchanatham, 2010;Jayalakshmi and Saranya, 2015;Manivannan et al, 2013), availability of entrepreneurial opportunities (Kavitha, 2014), education, marital status, and business type (Palaniappan et al, 2012), gender (Jayalakshmi and Saranya, 2015;Sankar and Sutha, 2016), previous work experience (Khan, 2015;Jayalakshmi and Saranya, 2015), and personality traits such as risk taking, self-control, self-confidence, innovativeness, independence, achievement oriented, enthusiasm, self-motivation, and ability to influence others (Manivannan et al, 2013;Kundu and Rani, 2007;Thavaraj, 2014) are highly correlated with entrepreneurial interest and inclination.…”

Family, society and the individual: determinants of entrepreneurial attitudes among youth in Chennai, South India

et al. 2017

High rates of youth unemployment across the world have captured the attention of many world organizations and other policy makers. One policy solution that has been proposed to curb these high rates is encouraging youth entrepreneurship. In this paper, we examine the formation of attitudes that are favorable to entrepreneurship using data from 185 business students in South India. We adopt an approach that tests the relative efficacy of two principal factors in the formation of entrepreneurial attitude, i.e., stocks of youth human/social capital and a series of personality traits. Results from a probit model suggest that the youth's prior labor market experience, the social capital that youth have accumulated through volunteering, and the social connections that parents have made are all highly predictive of pro-entrepreneurial attitudes; personality traits exert less importance. Implications for these findings are discussed for the creation of strategies that can stimulate entrepreneurship among youth as one way to combat high rates of youth unemployment.
