Abstract

This chapter involves verifying the influence of teaching entrepreneurship on entrepreneurial activities among university students (N = 418) in a comparative international context on three distinct realities (Portugal, Spain and Brazil). We are made recourse to Structural Equation Modelling (SEM), estimated through the Partial Least Squares (PLS) method. In order to determine the statistically significant differences among the path coefficients for the models for the three countries, we adopted Henseler’s approach. A multigroups analysis was performed to test the existence of significant differences between the three countries relating to student’s entrepreneurial orientation. The results show differences between countries in several dimensions explaining the entrepreneurial intentions of the students. Furthermore, our results convey the relevance of identifying the different entrepreneurial intentions prevailing in different countries alongside the respective sources of such influences. Some entrepreneurial implications are discussed on final considerations.
