This paper provides a comprehensive review of the literature on entrepreneurial intentions (EI) published between 2004 and 2013. The authors, Francisco Liñán from the University of Seville and Alain Fayolle from EMLYON Business School, aim to offer a clearer picture of the sub-fields in EI research by conducting a citation analysis and a thematic analysis. They identify five main research areas and one additional category for new research topics that do not fit neatly into the existing categories. The citation analysis identifies 24 influential papers, which are used as a framework for the thematic analysis of the remaining 409 papers. The thematic analysis reveals 25 different themes within these categories, including core model, personal-level variables, entrepreneurship education, context and institutions, and the intention-behavior link. The paper also highlights several research gaps within each area, suggesting new directions for future research. The authors emphasize the need for more systematic and methodologically rigorous studies to advance the understanding of the entrepreneurial decision-making process.This paper provides a comprehensive review of the literature on entrepreneurial intentions (EI) published between 2004 and 2013.
