Beskrivning
This book examines entrepreneurial intentions across three post-communist economies – Poland, Latvia, and Ukraine – offering insights into how historical context, pandemic disruptions, and military conflict shape entrepreneurial readiness. Drawing on data collected at two time points, five years apart, the authors present a novel theoretical framework that extends beyond traditional approaches by integrating social cognitive career theory with individual entrepreneurial orientation and the entrepreneurial support model. This volume delivers a comprehensive analysis of factors influencing entrepreneurial decision-making in transitional economies, highlighting the critical role of self-efficacy and outcome expectations. It presents comparative data spanning pre-pandemic, pandemic, and wartime periods, revealing significant shifts in entrepreneurial perceptions among Generation Z. The authors provide evidence-based recommendations for entrepreneurship education and policy development specifically tailored to Central and Eastern European contexts. Essential reading for academic researchers, doctoral students, and educators in entrepreneurship studies, this volume addresses a significant gap in the literature on post-communist entrepreneurial development. Policymakers and economic development professionals focused on transitional economies will find valuable insights into fostering entrepreneurial ecosystems in regions undergoing continued economic transformation.
