Abstract

This study investigates the complex relationships between market need urgency (MNU), entrepreneurial push and pull insights driven by supply (SDI) and demand (DDI), and opportunity confidence (OC), resulting in new venture creation (NVC) from the perspective of nascent entrepreneur's perception...
