Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to review the academic literature available in the field of
Entrepreneurial Intention (EI), and conduct a content analysis of the same for the purpose of
classification and provide a comprehensive bibliography. Emerald full text, online database
was searched to review the available literature on EI. The search resulted in only 118
publications where EI was mentioned as the primary research topic. The sample was further
refined to only include papers with empirical research in qualitative and quantitative realms.
The resultant of the refined sample was 69 research publications, which were classified in to
mutually exclusive categories. The content analysis led to classification of literature on the
basis of six categories viz. Publication Year, Journal, Research Area, Research Type, Base
Theory and Population. The study identifies the history of research on EI and hints towards
future research prospects in research in terms of industry, area of study, methodology, type of
study, etc. The paper provides a list of field projects accompanied by a comprehensive
bibliography that will be useful to both academicians and practitioners for studying existing
research as well as for contemplating future research. This may be considered as the basic
compilation and classification of available literature in the field of EI.
