Abstract
The objective of this study is to identify the level of students' entrepreneurial intention in doing information-related business and to compare the entrepreneurial intention between gender, role of family background, discipline of study and family income. Using a quantitative approach of study, questionnaires were distributed randomly to 175 postgraduate students of Faculty of Information Management, Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM), Malaysia. The finding revealed that students were quite positive towards their intention in doing information-related business. The mean score was highest for ＂I will make every effort to start and run my own information-related business＂ (mean=3.32) followed by ＂If I had the opportunity and resources, I’d like to start an informationrelated business＂ (3.29). However there was no evidence of difference regarding entrepreneurial intention between gender, role of family background, discipline of study and family income. The finding of this study will be useful to the management of Faculty of Information Management, other academic institutions and educators to design the entrepreneurship course for university students.
