Commercial entrepreneurial intention

Abstract

This chapter focuses on the intention to start a “self-oriented†new venture for the purpose of private gain for the shareholders of the new venture. The private gain may be both monetary (profit) and non-monetary (psychic income, or job satisfaction). Profit maximisation is contrasted with profit satisficing, leading to the distinction between profit and growth-oriented entrepreneurs and psychic income-seeking entrepreneurs. An empirical study of the antecedents of growth-oriented versus independence-oriented entrepreneurial intention is reported, demonstrating different drivers of these two pathways to entrepreneurship.
