Abstract
The study investigated the entrepreneurial attitudes and intentions of
Indonesian business students. The focus of the study is to compare the
determinant factors of entrepreneurial attitudes and intentions based on
the Resurreccion's (2010) study. One hundred eighteen students in their
final year of study participated in the survey and the data were collected
through self-administered questionnaires. The collected data were
analyzed for their content, presented in the form of graphs and were
given a simple statistical treatment. The results indicated that
Indonesian business students are aware of the competencies and the
qualities strongly associated with entrepreneurial success. Specifically,

entrepreneurial intentions are not solely determined by the possession of
what are believed to be entrepreneurial qualities. These are jointly
