Innovativeness and Entrepreneurial Intentions: Students From Finland, Lithuania and USA in Comparison

Continuous innovation and innovation capabilities are strongly connected to entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurship is driving force of the world economy, and due to the corona-virus, enhancing entrepreneurship is now more important than ever. This study focuses on 126 business students in Finland, Lithuania and USA to find out if the innovativeness is related to entrepreneurship and if there are culture related differences. The result confirmed that innovativeness as well as risk-taking are statistically significantly connected to entrepreneurial intentions. However, there were no culture related statistical differences. Individual qualities seem to have stronger impact on entrepreneurial attitude than culture and these results are discussed at the end of the paper.
