Abstract

In most publications, the concept of necessity entrepreneurship is almost always automatically equated with a default solution to unemployment (Ritsilä and Tervo, 2002; Evans and Leighton, 1990; Mason, 1989; Harrison and Hart, 1983). Using the Shapero and Sokol (1982) decision models, we conducted an exploratory study (1) to better understand if entrepreneurship intentions are linked solely to a situation of professional inactivity (a solution to unemployment), (2) to follow the development of their entrepreneurial projects, (3) to identify the different challenges that influence (or not) the startup of their small businesses. The results enabled us to get away from the dichotomous typology opposing opportunity entrepreneurship and necessity entrepreneurship (Reynolds, Bygrave, Autio, Cox and Hay, 2002), and propose two other complementary types of entrepreneurship: entrepreneurship by tradition, of which the motivations are of the push nature and entrepreneurship by conviction, of which the motivations are of the pull nature.
