Abstract
Entrepreneur’s intentions form the initial strategic template of new organizations, are important underpinnings of new venture development. The study is to determine which entrepreneurial characteristics of respondents such as internal locus of control, need for achievement, risk-taking propensity and self-efficacy would influence them towards their entrepreneurial intentions. In this study, the researchers randomly selected respondent’s students from UiTM Perlis. They are graduating undergraduates who had voluntarily attended the Undergraduates Basic Entrepreneurship Course (KAKS). KAKS is a basic undergraduate entrepreneurship-training program specifically allocated for graduating students. The National Entrepreneurship Institute (INSKEN) sponsors this program. The Malaysian Entrepreneurial Development Center (MASMED) with the consent and cooperation from UiTM organizes this program. The result of the study based on the entrepreneurial characteristics of respondents will be useful in selecting and training potential entrepreneur graduates undergoing this program in the future.
