The evolution of Information Technology has undoubtedly made a significant contribution to many entrepreneurial smash hits of the last decades. Computer Self-Efficacy is an IT specific measure of the general ability to use computers and software and its relation to entrepreneurial intention, a valid precursor of entrepreneurial behavior, consists an interesting topic which recently came into focus of entrepreneurship research. In this empirical research conducted among secondary education students, the efficacy of autonomous use of computer software is highlighted as an influential factor for the entrepreneurial intentions of students.
