dc.description.abstractAbstract Purpose - This paper investigates the role exposure to digital fabrication technology plays in the development of students' entrepreneurial self-efficacy and intentions. Design/Methodology/Approach - Data was collected from 131 students enrolled in a business administration undergraduate program at a large Midwestern university in the United States. Data was analyzed using confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling. Findings - Results provide evidence on how exposure to and hands on experience with digital manufacturing technology in universities can have a positive impact on students’ entrepreneurial self-efficacy and intentions to become entrepreneurs. Practical Implications - Results support initiatives by business schools and entrepreneurship programs to invest in digital manufacturing technology as they help increase students’ confidence in their technological and entrepreneurial abilities. Originality/Value - This is the first study that directly looks at the role that exposure to digital technology in a business and entrepreneurship education program has on students’ entrepreneurial self-efficacy and intentions
