Comparison of the approach of African and European students to entrepreneurship

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Even though the business environment in developed and developing countries is fundamentally different, private small-and-medium-sized businesses are generally considered as the key components for fuelling economic development and growth. According to results of the Global University Entrepreneurial Spirit Students‘ Survey (GUESSS) 2016, university students in developing countries are more interested in entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial careers than those from the developed ones (Rydvalová et al., 2017). Nevertheless, no African country was included in the research sample. The objective of this survey is, therefore, to examine whether African university students are interested in entrepreneurship more than their colleagues from European universities. By using a huge amount of quantitative data, gained from the GUESSS, 2018, this paper compares the approach of the students to business. By testing a couple of hypotheses based on extensive literature sources, the existence of the dependence between the student‘s approach to the „entrepreneurship” and their „place of origin” has been proved. In general, we can confirm the results from Rydvalová et al. (2017) and claim that the interest in entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial careers is higher in developing countries including African countries, than in the developed ones.
