The trajectories of entrepreneurial intention[Les trajectoires de l’intention entrepreneuriale]

What could stand for the evolution, the upholding or the decline of an entrepreneurial intention (E.I.) as time goes by? Current researches do not bring any answers to this question, because they do not integrate the idea of mobility and inherent uncertainty of any E.I. Following a work of investigation by inductive analysis on a ground made up of students in economy and sciences of management, we noted that the E.I. could extend over one relatively long duration, during which its intensity could vary considerably. The explanatory assumption that we present is as follows: the trajectory of an E.I. breaks up into three phases. The first one is the discovery of this professional possibility. During the second one, the students learn how to bind satisfaction and situations of the entrepreneurial type. The third one is the fate which is made to the preceding association: as long as it lasts, the E.I. is maintained. On the other hand, if negatively lived experiments come to contradict it, the E.I. may collapse, even disappear.
