Description
The GUESSS Project investigates students' career choice intentions across the world. Of special interest are entrepreneurial intentions in different forms, such as founding an own firm, acquiring one, or taking over the parents' family business.
Founded in 2003, GUESSS has grown remarkably since then. The 5th wave of data collection in Spring 2011 takes place in 27 countries, with around 1 Million of students from more than 200 Universities addressed.
GUESSS is organized and managed by the Swiss Research Institute of Small Business and Enterpreneurship at the University of St. Gallen (KMU-HSG). The aim is to contribute not only to practice and policy, but also to the scientific community.

PublicationEntrepreneurial Intentions and Activities of Students across the World : International Report of GUESSS 2011The economic and social relevance of entrepreneurship in general and new ventures in particular is well-established across the world. Students, as they could be the entrepreneurs of tomorrow, have attracted considerable scholarly and public attention in the last decades. Despite strong research efforts in the past, many questions are still not sufficiently answered. Which individual, societal, family- and university-related factors enhance students' intention to found their own company? How do students' entrepreneurial intentions and activities compare across a multitude of nations? Are there globally applicable best practices? To generate unique insights and contributions that address these gaps, it is thus imperative to further investigate students' entrepreneurial intentions, activities and their antecedents on a global level. This is the overarching goal of the GUESSS research project (Global Universiy Entrepreneurial Spirit Students' Survey). This report presents the results and insights of the 2011 edition of the GUESSS project on the global level. In Spring 2011, a large-scale quantitative survey was conducted in 26 different countries, addressing more than 1 Million students from 489 Universities, leading to a data set with more than 93'000 responses (N=93'265).Type: work report
