Keywords: entrepreneurship, intrapreneurship, psychopa- thology, education, international differences E ntrepreneurship, starting and managing a business for the purpose of growth and prot (Carland, Hoy, Boulton, Carland, 1984), can be traced back to ancient Greece, where entrepreneurial activity brought in- dependence and economic and social reform.

Entrepreneur- ship is credited with the development of the assembly line, the airplane, the computer, the contact lens, and DNA ngerprinting (Baumol, 2004).

It is a major source of employment, economic growth, and innovation and is an integral part of the economic renewal process (Kuratko, 2003).

Entrepreneurship is also a mechanism by which many people enter the economic and social mainstream of society, facilitating culture formation, population integra- tion, and social mobility (Bednarzik, 2000).

The Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM; Reyn- olds, Bygrave, Autio, 2004) described entrepreneurship as a world-wide phenomenon that is on the increase.

The 1990s saw major start-up activity in transition economies, where private sector activity is relatively new (Peng, 2001).

There was a rise in entrepreneurial activity in the United States in the late 1990s, peaking at the new millennium (Neck, Zacharakis, Bygrave, Reynolds, 2003).

In 2002, 11 of the American adult workforce was involved in the initial start-up phase or the development of a young busi- ness (Neck et al., 2003).

Around the world, 9 in every 100 people of working age are involved in entrepreneurship, with approximately 300 million in the venture creation phase (Reynolds et al., 2004).

The generation of the 21st century has been branded Generation E, the most entrepre- neurial since the Industrial Revolution (Kuratko, 2003).

Eighty percent of would-be entrepreneurs in the United States are between the ages of 18 and 34, with approxi- mately 6 million people in this age bracket actively trying to start their own businesses (see Kuratko, 2003).

Entre- preneurship is also an important source of employment for women, and there has been signicant worldwide growth in womens self-employment (Hisrich O ztu rk, 1999; Lan- gan-Fox, 2005).

In 2004, three times more women than men started rms in the United States.

This could reect the service-oriented economy and the fact that the service sector represents a strong area for women (Coughlin Thomas, 2002).
