Study on Student's Motivations for Entrepreneurship in Romania

This paper focuses on entrepreneurship issues, specifically entrepreneurial intention in Romania, country that according to Hofstede's 1980 model presents features that do not stimulate the propensity towards entrepreneurship. We believe that because the entrepreneur is very sensitive to its environment, he is affected by the institutional and cultural context of his countr y. The analysis was undertaken upon a specific group: 3rd year Management students of the Faculty of Economics and Business Administration, Timisoara. The results show that this group, through its socio-demographic profile and level of education, presents a different entrepreneurship profile than the one registered at a national level.
