| description | Purpose: The research aim is to identify how the university campus influences students’ entrepreneurial
starting conditions.
Approach: The underlying paper is conceptual. The focus is to propose new relationships among constructs
and bridge existing theories. In this paper, the entrepreneurial constructs regarding the venture
foundation process are linked to extant literature on Higher Educational Institutions and bordering topics.
We develop research propositions by connecting these two topic streams through causalities.
Findings: We developed eight research propositions, arranged into two categories: university setting
and student setting encompasses. The university setting comprises factors accentuating the specific,
fertile university environment, whereas the student setting the specific status and related peculiarities.
Research limitations/implications: Limitations arise, as the conceptual paper does not refer to data.
Thus, there is a risk of being incomplete and biased based on the theoretical lens. The study adds to
the contextual view of student entrepreneurship. It offers a sound set of causalities as a base for future
empirical research.
Practical implications: Through the insights, universities can adapt their offers in terms of support
space and services and start tackling the students’ needs, as well as their weak points in terms of
entrepreneurial starting conditions.
Originality/value: The paper contributes to the current literature by presenting relations between the
university environment and student entrepreneurship – the two areas that have not been connected
before. This allows a deeper understanding of how students deal with entrepreneurial issues and what
reasons lie behind their related behavior. |
