Abstract
Für das wirtschaftliche Wachstum und die Innovationskraft einer Volkswirtschaft sind junge Unternehmen von herausragender Bedeutung. Ein wichtiges Ziel von Politik und Wirtschaft muss folglich die Sensibilisierung und Förderung potenzieller Gründer sein. Die vorliegende Untersuchung geht der Frage nach, ob eine universitäre Gründungsausbildung die Gründungsabsicht von Studierenden positiv beeinflussen kann. Aufbauend auf dem intentionsbasierten Modell von Krueger /Carsrud (1993) wurden im Rahmen einer Befragung an der TU Dortmund 111 Studierende der Wirtschaftswissenschaften zu ihren Gründungsabsichten befragt. Es zeigte sich, dass die Gründungsabsicht durch den Besuch von Veranstaltungen zum Gründungsmanagement deutlich gesteigert werden kann. Für die deutsche Wirtschafts- und Bildungspolitik ergibt sich aus den Ergebnissen die Handlungsempfehlung, die universitäre Gründungsausbildung auszubauen und intensiv zu fördern. / For some time there has been widespread recognition that entrepreneurship is the engine that drives the economy of most nations. This leads to an increasing interest in how to encourage and support potential entrepreneurs. In this paper we explore the interaction between entrepreneurial education and entrepreneurial intention. Based on an intention based model a survey among 111 students at the TU Dortmund broadly corroborates the hypothesised positive effect of entrepreneurial education on the intention to start a business. Programmes of entrepreneurship education can shift intentionality and perception regarding the desirability and feasibility of starting a venture. Based on this conclusion there is one clear policy consideration which should be highlighted: the recommendation to stimulate and support entrepreneurship education.
