Abstract
This paper investigates the entrepreneurial intention of Chinese university students to provide insight into digital entrepreneurship. An online survey of 305 university students in Beijing was the basis for the data used to test a logistic regression model of the variables underpinning entrepreneurial intention. Factors determining whether Chinese students intend to engage in digital entrepreneurship were “family business”, “perceived motivations” (especially “Self-achievement”), and “perceived barriers” (especially “Lack of experience”). These are a subset of the antecedent factors influencing entrepreneurship more broadly. The nature of digital entrepreneurship may negate some of the factors, especially culture, that serve as barriers to entrepreneurship in the Chinese context. Although this study is limited by its quantitative methodology and focus on Chinese students attending a single university in Beijing, it contributes to knowledge regarding student engagement with digital entrepreneurship.
