The call on Universities to produce entrepreneurial-minded graduate entrepreneurs called for the development of the Entrepreneurial Curriculum Framework for Higher Education to enhance Entrepreneurial Intentions (EIs) and evaluation of factors that inhibit intentions. We evaluated factors inhibiting EIs and investigated Curriculum Framework for Higher Education that enhances intentions.A total of 385 and 165 Students and Faculty participated in the survey in 2018 and 2020 respectively. Qualitative and Quantitative approaches were adopted in data collection. Demographic and 5-point Likert scale type of questions were sufficiently asked and analyzed using SPSS, EXCEL, and Smart PLS-SEM software. Research limitations included time constraints, low response rate, and lack of modern software for analysis. Startup Capital and Risk Taking propensity ranked higher as inhibiting factors to EIs.

“…The main focus is on the six chosen factors, the respondent group consisting of young adults and their preferences tested in random combinations attained by a conjoint-inspired experiment. In order to understand which institutional factors govern young adults ' decisions to become an entrepreneur, this research refers mainly to external barriers (Sitaridis and Kitsios, 2017) and revolves around six selected attributes of the legal environment in Poland. As has already been said, we are aware of the magnitude and high importance of multiple other factors whose impact is not the principal objective of this study.…”

PurposeThis article aims at contributing to the literature using conjoint experiment methods for political economic problems. The author measures the stated willingness of young adults to start an enterprise in hypothetical realities described by different levels of six institutional factors pertaining to the business environment.Design/methodology/approachThe author conducts the “forced-choice” conjoint experiment on a sample of 200 young Polish students. This analysis allows for the verification of the expectations concerning the differences in the respondents' stated preferences relating to the potential obstacles to their entrepreneurial inclinations. The author estimates the average marginal component effects (AMCEs) and the marginal means (MMs).FindingsEvidence is provided that the institutional factors are not similarly significant to the stated entrepreneurial preferences of Polish young adults. Legal certainty and economic freedom are the attributes of the most notable effect on respondents' feelings about perceived entrepreneurial barriers; however, the results vary across the subgroups.Practical implicationsThe study results provide a tentative perspective on the Polish young adults' feelings about institutions as a potential obstacle to their entrepreneurial inclinations. The employment of conjoint methodology lays the groundwork for scholars studying the entrepreneurial environment, legal institutions and current public mood of different social groups.Originality/valueThis study is a unique attempt to answer political economic questions concerning entrepreneurial institutions in Poland through the implementation of a comprehensive market research method. In addition, the author indicates a specific set of six institutional factors as well as define a distinct group of young adults.
