Entrepreneurship is vital to the Malaysian economy. Eighty-five percent of the total income
in Malaysia was derived from entrepreneurship activities. Therefore, inclination of the
accounting students towards entrepreneurship is important and they should be
encouraged to become an entrepreneur after graduation. Therefore, inclination towards
entrepreneurship should start during undergraduate study. Thus, this proposed study
seeks to determine the factors that contribute towards inclination of entrepreneurship such
as role models, university’s role to promote, the entrepreneurial curriculum and content,
personal independent learning approach, and the entrepreneurial internship programs.
The data of this study will be collected using self-administered questionnaire survey to all
the accounting students at UMT and UniSZA. The results from this study are expected to
provide some insights to the policy maker in the university to redesign the
entrepreneurship curriculum and activities in order to increase the number of
undergraduate students to become a successful businessman in the future.
