“…They also differentiated between opportunity-based and necessity-based intentions. This could be observed in the work of Wasim, Almeida and Chalmers (2023) where they explored the external effects such as geographic location on entrepreneurial intent. This distinction aligns with the push and pull model of entrepreneurial activity (Amit et al, 1995).…”

PurposeThis research aims to identify the intentions behind becoming an entrepreneur and the perception of entrepreneurial failure among different groups of students. There has been significant research discussing the motivations behind becoming an entrepreneur. However, such a research study is often focused on individuals who are already in the entrepreneurial process. Therefore, this research focuses on the understanding of the entrepreneurial process specified on the intentions of becoming an entrepreneur and the associated risk, in the context of a learning process.Design/methodology/approachThe perspectives of students towards becoming an entrepreneur and their perception of associated risk are identified. A comparative exploratory case study method is used. Three cases developed in the light of empirical evidence consist of Business, Law and Science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) students.FindingsMajor results show that the law and STEM students were on the same line in terms of motivational factors, such as being career driven. In contrary, the business students were more driven by personal factors such as leaving something behind and building something meaningful.Originality/valueWhilst studies have attempted to understand entrepreneurial intentions, little work has considered students and their views on becoming entrepreneurs. Even with studies that looked at this subject matter, the focus was mainly business students. The authors build on previous work and construct the authors' views based on multi-disciplinary student base to know more about their intentions to become an entrepreneur. The science and law students were more influenced by external factors, whereas business students were focused more on their personal goals. Such classification of the diverse intentions based on student discipline opens a new and promising research avenue to better develop entrepreneurial education not only for business students but across all disciplines in higher education.

This paper aims to investigate the characteristics of outsourcing in accounting services for tourism SMEs as a choice to mitigate their financial risk. The research was carried out in summer 2022, during tourism recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic crisis, while the findings indicate that the majority of tourism SMEs choose to outsource their accounting services in order to reduce operating costs; to save their funds by exploiting a partner’s information systems; to take advantage of a partner’s accounting knowledge; to achieve greater flexibility in their core activities; and to speed up the processing of the accounting tasks in order to deal with any arising problems and/or difficulties. Furthermore, it is evident that in a constantly changing and complex tax system and a changing economic landscape, accounting outsourcing provides tourism SMEs with advantages such as already established processes, expertise, technology, consulting support, and pathways for dealing with the various accounting issues that may arise.
