 Effects of innovativeness and long-term orientation on entrepreneurial intentions: a comparison of business and engineering studentsInternational Journal of Entrepreneurship and Small Business, 2011, vol. 12, issue 3, 300-313 Abstract: Entrepreneurship has become an increasingly researched area, because it has caught the attention of policy makers as one promising response to sustainable development challenges. Given the emerging character of the field to date, however, most contributions remained conceptual or reported results of case study research. The discussion of sustainable entrepreneurship should therefore benefit from the analysis of large-scale empirical research projects. This paper contributes with a large scale empirical analysis at the individual level, where sustainable development crucially depends on concerned individuals behaving entrepreneurially. Despite this being a crucial pre-condition, its empirical validity has rarely been analysed. Using large-scale survey data to analyse how innovativeness and long-term orientations relate to entrepreneurial intentions, this contribution also compares engineering and business students with regard to this. Keywords: long-term orientation; social concerns; sustainable entrepreneurship; concerns; entrepreneurial orientation; entrepreneurial intention; innovativeness; business students; engineering students; sustainable development; sustainability.
