Abstract

The aim of this study is to investigate if entrepreneurial courses can enhance the entrepreneurial intention of students, by a survey conducted on students of 34 universities department with marketing- and logistics-management-related programs in Taiwan. Of the questionnaires recovered from 22 universities of science and technology, 847 copies are valid. The results show that entrepreneurial courses and entrepreneurial intentions are uncorrelated with one another. Although, entrepreneurial intentions correlate with academic performance, school attribute, gender and family entrepreneurial experience, but are uncorrelated to part-time work experience and in which year students are studying.

 

Key words: Entrepreneurial intention, entrepreneurial education, entrepreneurship.
