Abstract

Entrepreneurial intention represents one of the two major inputs of the Entrepreneurial Value Creation Theory. Although the phenomenon of intention is not unique to entrepreneurship, it nonetheless represents a crux within the Stage 1—Formulation, meaning that it is a necessary but not sufficient condition within the overall entrepreneurial process. Without intention, entrepreneurial opportunity as the second major input of Stage 1—Formulation may go unnoticed, at least in the Kirznerian (1973) sense. Specifically, the Theory of Entrepreneurial Intentionality presented in this chapter delineates and explains the developmental processes that encompass and drive entrepreneurial intention relative to our thinking and acting and relative to adaptability.
