I'm studying motivation as an element in the venture of rural women. As divided by some authors we have three dimensions of motivation "Intrinsic, Goal, and Extrinsic".
Extrinsic is the situation (displacement by Shapero) that people have to start the business like unemployment, job dissatisfaction, etc.
Goal is what people want to archieve by starting the business. and finally intrinsic motivation help nacent entrepreneur to keep on until they start and it helps business manager to not give up.
Where should I use the GEM approach? "NECESSITY vs OPPORTUNITY - are they goal or displacement?
Thanks.
Dear Remilien,
I believe that you have selected two contrasting concepts to integrate. GEM model is based upon profit as the prime motivation factor. Shane (2003) define entrepreneurship is process carried out by able individuals who believes on profits.
Rural women are always necessity entrepreneurs( in developing countries). Due to large unemployment rates and poor infrastructure, chances of increasing the number of opportunity entrepreneurs are rare even though it is the most viable solution to developing an entrepreneurial culture among rural women.

Thanks Upananda!!!!!!!
i have many questions for the GEM model. This is on of them. And reseacher ever use this approach to study start-up of business. I firmly believe that people have before all an extrinsic motivation (cause) after this one they may be able to fix goal
As a matter of logic, extrinsic motivation doesn't exist. All motivation is intrinsic motivation.
At individual level, in GEM database you can find questions related to motivation and values. Check for details: http://www.gemconsortium.org/docs/download/2594
You can see in 2k1 and in 2k2 two questions that I think it could be interesting to you. Also, maybe i.6 and i.7 could be useful. Check the file and good luck!
