Preface

What are students entrepreneurial intentions and activities

across the world?

This question is of highest social and economic relevance.

Students represent the entrepreneurs of tomorrow; their

entrepreneurial plans and activities will shape tomorrows

societies and the overall economic well-being. Consequently,

the numbers of students intending to pursue an

entrepreneurial career, along with the methods of actualizing

their intentions, are of high interest to different stakeholders

such as participating universities, academics, policy-makers, as

well as students themselves.

It is extremely important to monitor, evaluate and adapt

the entrepreneurial education to the rapidly changing

environment, so it can remain competitive, effective,

successful and accelerate the Dutch economy.

GUESSSperforms the important task of monitoring, by

tracking the entrepreneurial intentions and activities of

students along with the entrepreneurial programs offered by

the Dutch universities.

In this booklet we present the insights of the 2013-2014

GUESSSNetherlands. We would like to thank the participating

universities for their collaboration in the survey and to invite

all possible parties such as policy makers, researchers,

entrepreneurs, other universities, teachers, students and

society in general to consult our valuable results and be part of

the survey in the upcoming years.
