Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to examine students’ perceptions toward drivers of entrepreneurship in the cross cultural context. The sample of the study consists of undergraduate students from Kyrgyzstan (n=200), Bhutan (n=200) and Taiwan (n=200) universities. Primary data were compiled by using face-to-face and online questionnaire methods. Descriptive statistics, paired sample t test and ANOVA were used for data analysis. The empirical findings reveal that Bhutanese students have the highest mean scores compared to other countries. Independence dimension is found to be the first driver for all the three countries. However, the least important drivers of entrepreneurship are different for the three countries. Drivers of entrepreneurship that has the least effect are government support for Kyrgyzstan, family and relatives for Bhutan and economic conditions for Taiwan respectively.
