Abstract

Previous research focused on the determinants of entrepreneurial intent, whereas little is known about the influence of triggers and barriers on the transformation of entrepreneurial intent into behaviour. Using a mixed-method approach, we explore the factors that hinder or foster the translation of intent into action. The results of our meta-analysis show that prior research focused on the direct influence of triggers and barriers on intent. The content analysis of semi-structured interviews of 215 entrepreneurs in Germany, Russia, and the USA shows that founders included both triggers and barriers in their entrepreneurial act of starting a new business.
