Entrepreneurial Myths (or Realities) and Entrepreneurial Intentions

The development of modern entrepreneurship research began some 50 years ago. In the meantime, various definitions of entrepreneurship led to different interpretations of its scope, and subsequently, the entrepreneurial myths emerged. This topic was studied quite intensively in the 1980s and 1990s, and numerous results succeeded in demystifying most of the entrepreneurial myths. Despite that, the entrepreneurial myths hold on and regularly appear on the web portals, media, and bloggers articles. On the other side, contemporary entrepreneurship textbooks, include entrepreneurial myths as a lesson which could eliminate some obstacles for the nascent entrepreneurs. This study revealed that the entrepreneurial myths are somewhat present between younger, non-entrepreneurs in Croatia, which have a low or medium level of education. Still, even these demographic groups, do not consider them as realities. Further analysis pointed out that there is a negative, weak, statistically significant correlation between the perception of entrepreneurial myths as myths (not as realities) and a higher level of entrepreneurial intentions
