Abstract

Evaluating and exploiting imagined opportunities involves gathering and processing idiosyncratic market knowledge, but individuals differ in their abilities and propensities in this task. We propose a new construct, the entrepreneurial propensity for market analysis (EPMA), and argue that this propensity mediates the relationship between entrepreneurial intention and action. We test these relationships in a study of 213 prospective entrepreneurs from science and technology parks (STPs) in Iran. Results support the mediating effect of EPMA on the entrepreneurial act.

企业家市场分析倾向与意向-行动差距

评估和利用想象中的机会包括收集和处理特殊的市场知识，但个人在这项任务中的能力和倾向是不同的。本文提出了一个新的结构，即企业家市场分析倾向(EPMA)，并认为这种倾向在企业家意向和行为之间起中介作用。我们通过对伊朗科技园区(STPs)的213名潜在企业家的研究来检验这些关系。研究结果支持EPMA对创业行为的中介作用。

期刊介绍： The journal name relates to Harvard Business School''s understanding of "The Entrepreneurial Venture" (Sahlmann/Stevenson/Roberts/Bhidé), the concept of entrepreneurship not only limited to new ventures/start-ups, but further understood as the concentration of opportunity/growth/value creation regardless of company size, age or kind. Hence, IJEV addresses organisational processes surrounding these concepts: from an idea to an innovation. To bridge the gap between innovation and entrepreneurship research, IJEV emphasises implications of this new knowledge for researchers, managers, public policy makers and business educators. Topics covered include: -Opportunity: identification; recognition; creation; selection; exploitation -Growth: management of rapidly growing enterprises; control -Value creation: for owners; for customers; other stakeholders; society -Entrepreneurship and intrapreneurship -New venture creation -Management of technology and innovation -New product development and creativity -SME management -Entrepreneurial and small enterprise finance -Crowdsourcing and crowdfunding -Family business -Gender and diversity -Global entrepreneurship and internationalisation -Public policy, the economy, and the small enterprise -Business and organisational failure
