Abstract
The study is conducted empirically in order to explore the phenomenon of Individualistic Entrepreneurial Orientation (IEO) in terms of market opportunities, social capital and personal attributes. The study was guided by Miller (1983), Lumpkin and Dess (1996), Granovetter (1985) and (John, P., & Soto, 2008). The study was based on post-positivism philosophy and it was quantitative in nature that used non-probabilistic convenience sampling. However, the collected data was analyzed through three different statistical tests, Spearman, Pearson and Regression analysis. The first two statistical tests Pearson and Spearman were applied on first three hypotheses and regression analysis on last hypothesis. Hence, it was found that, there is a significant relationship between market opportunities and IEO of business students in Pakistan as the p value was less than 0.05. Similarly, when the second hypothesis was tested, it was observed that, there is a significant relationship between social capital and IEO of business students in Pakistan. Furthermore, when third hypothesis was tested, it was found ultimately that, there is a significant relationship between personal attributes and IEO of business students in Pakistan. Finally, when last but not the least, hypothesis was tested by applying linear regression, it was resulted that, there is a significant relationship between cumulative impact of market opportunities, social capital, personal attributes and IEO of business students in Pakistan. Therefore, it can be concluded with some certainty that, the three factors (market opportunities, social capital, personal attributes) do influence on the decision making of university business’ students while deciding, whether to take the path of entrepreneurship or not.
期刊介绍：
The Journal will serve and provide a forum for exchange of ideas among business executives and academicians concerned with global business and economic issues. With the rapid evolution of corporate business from international to global in recent years, general business has been one of the areas of greatest added complexity and concern for corporate managers. It is no longer sufficient for the corporate manager to limit his/her study simply to the domestic aspects of general business. Almost every single topic that can be studied in general business now has global dimensions that are equally important. As such, practitioners and academicians, each with a unique perspective on global business, must go beyond the presently limited sharing of information and ideas. The Journal will be an academic journal combining academic inquiry and informed business practices. It will publish empirical, analytical, review, and survey articles, as well as case studies related to all areas of global business and economics. A sentiment often expressed by practitioners is that academic research in general may not be addressing the most relevant questions in the real world. To bridge some gaps in our knowledge of the real world, the Journal is thereby willing to sponsor a field research (such as surveys, in-depth interviews, on-site studies, etc.). It is fair to say that the Journal will publish high-quality applied-research papers. Nevertheless, studies that test important theoretical works and shed additional light on the issue with some business implications will also be solicited.
