ACQUIESCENCE:Master's Dissertation • June 4th, 2019
Contract Type FiledJune 4th, 2019Following the footsteps of many students before me, I was scared of the tales they told. I was sure that this thesis was going to be the enemy. Saying that nothing was less true, would be a lie. It was a quest with periods of frustration alternated with periods of excitement. Overall, I am surprised of the eager I developed to discover more. It was nice to discover why I sometimes agree in the heat of the moment and question that choice 5 seconds later. I would like to thank my promotor Prof. Dr. Anneleen Van Kerckhove, for providing this interesting subject. She guided me through my master dissertation at the moments when I was most clueless. I would also like to thank my parents for giving me the opportunity to study at Ghent University.

WHAT TRIGGERS SOMEONE TO BECOME AN ENTREPRENEUR?Master’s Dissertation • August 25th, 2022

They initiate technological change and breakthroughs and commercialize innovations (Viinikainen et al., 2017). In order to encourage entrepreneurship it is essential to understand what motivates these individuals to become an entrepreneur. A lot of research has already been conducted on the formation of entrepreneurial intentions, however, not on the determining triggers. Research about the final trigger one needs to convert his entrepreneurial intentions into actions is found to be lacking. Hence, this thesis examines the research gap concerning the topic “What triggers someone to become an entrepreneur?”. This master’s dissertation will first outline the entrepreneurial environment using the Theory of Planned Behavior by Ajzen (1985). The determining triggers will be placed in the framework of Ajzen using the theory of Summers (1998). Summers makes a distinction bet
