Patterns of Forming Entrepreneurial Intention: Evidence in Vietnam

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to explore the direct and interaction effects of entrepreneurial events (feasibility and desirability) and perceived risk (opportunity and threat) on entrepreneurial intention in a transitional economy – Vietnam. The testing results show that perceived desirability and perceived feasibility have direct and interactive effects on entrepreneur intention. Risk as both threat and as opportunity has direct and moderating effects on entrepreneurial intention.
