Abstract
GUESSS has been founded at the Swiss Institute of Small Business and Entrepreneurship (KMU-HSG) in 2003. Since 2016, GUESSS is jointly organized by the University of St.Gallen (KMU-HSG) and the University of Bern (IMU-U). As of today, GUESSS is one of the largest entrepreneurship research projects in the world.
For every data collection wave, the GUESSS core team develops a comprehensive online survey. The link to the survey is then sent out to the country teams who forward the survey invitation to their own students and to the national university partners (who then forward it to their respective students).
GUESSS-based publications have a strong impact on academia, practice, and policy making. GUESSS data have been used for numerous influential studies, reports, practitioner-oriented articles, and academic publications in renowned journals. For more information and regular updates about GUESSS, please visit www.guesssurvey.org.
