Abstract

Primary data of 240 observations were analysed by applying statistical tools such as factor analysis, ANOVA, mean and grand means. Factor-analysed data have shown five clear entrepreneurial orientation (EO) dimensions which were further analysed for bringing out differences. Results of the survey indicated that EO was different according to gender and course categories. Female aspirants reported high EO on "hard-worker" and "social and trustworthy" than male aspirants. Aspirants with academic background of marketing and international business reported higher orientation on "hard-worker", "organiser", and "social and trustworthy" than aspirants with human resource management (HRM) and finance. Specifically females from marketing and international business scored very high EO on the dimensions "self-starter and leader", "hard-worker", "organiser" and "social and trustworthy" than males. Males from HRM and finance scored high EO on the dimensions "hard-worker", and "organiser". However, the overall EO was moderate for the sampled aspirants.
