Purpose
The purpose of this study was to investigate the perceptions of business students in India toward business managers (not self-employed) and entrepreneurs.
Design/methodology/approach
Students’ perceptions of the ethical behaviors of business managers and entrepreneurs were measured using the Bucar and Hisrich (2001) model. The scale comprises 20 behavioral descriptors, and the students were asked to indicate the degree to which they believed entrepreneurs and business managers would consider these actions as ethical.
Findings
Responses to general items of ethical behavior demonstrated a difference in the perception of Indian students between business managers and entrepreneurs.
Originality/value
This study contributes to the field of entrepreneurship in two ways. One involves the results of the hypothesis testing presented herein to evaluate the perceptions of business students in India toward entrepreneurs and business managers. The second contribution is comparing these results to that of a similar study using a US sample (Batchelor et al., 2011) to compare the differences in perceptions toward entrepreneurs and business managers across these two nations.
