HOW UNIVERSITY STUDENTS PERCEIVE RUNNING A BUSINESS – SELECTED ASPECTS

Abstract

Nowadays when the knowledge-based economy is being built, running a business plays a significant role. A society in which entrepreneurial activities are taken up is the base for creating a modern and competitive economy. Forming an entrepreneurial society causes a situation in which setting up and running one’s own company concerns a considerable part of citizens and each social group. The article was to present students’ views on setting up and running their own business. Students’ opinions were gathered by means of the method of diagnostic survey with the use of the technique of a standardized questionnaire. The outcomes of the study reveal that the respondents have a high willingness to take entrepreneurial actions (57.1%). Only 16.5% of them do not plan such an undertaking.
