THE EXTENT OF CULTURAL DIMENSIONS ON ENTREPRENEURIAL INTENTION Case of the entrepreneurs of the Urban Commune of Antananarivo

SCIENCES OF MANAGEMENT

In order to explain the entrepreneurial vitality that can be observed in some countries and its absence in others, the cultural paradigm has been widely mobilized in recent years. Following Hofstede's work on national cultures and the identification of their constitutive dimensions, it has been suggested that some cultures are more inclined to accentuate entrepreneurial intention than others. This leads us to ask the following question: "To what extent do national cultural dimensions influence entrepreneurial intention?" No individual, in the course of his or her evolution, can separate himself or herself from the national culture that makes up the identity of a people on a national scale. Thus, it is assumed that it also influences the entrepreneurial act, by shaping the entrepreneurial intention that is manifested by the entrepreneurial spirit, personality, motivation and socialization of the entrepreneur. The objective is therefore to demonstrate through a sample of entrepreneurs the effect of national culture on entrepreneurial intention
