Entrepreneurial intent is of interest to entrepreneurship scholars because intent of a purposive behaviour may be an antecedent to that behaviour. This chapter reviews key aspects of the literature on entrepreneurial intent. The first section explores definitional issues—asking ‘what is entrepreneurial intent?’ and ‘why is intent important to understanding entrepreneurial behaviour?’ The second section explores if, and how, entrepreneurial education influences entrepreneurial intent and entrepreneurial behaviour. The third section provides the theoretical foundation for why intent is central to understanding entrepreneurial behaviour. The next section explores research that focusses on how specific situational factors and psychological traits might influence entrepreneurial intent and behaviour. The final section calls for more research on the link between intent and behaviours—the ‘intention-to-behaviours transition’.
