Abstrakt: University students' entrepreneurial process and the triggers and obstacles involved have become an important research field. Based on the survey data and factor analysis, this paper probes into the triggers and obstacles for university students in the entrepreneurial process. Its findings indicate that the triggers involved are self-actualization, physical and spiritual rewards, entrepreneurial opportunity and external support while the obstacles include fear of risk, lack of confidence and shortage of resources. On the whole, the most influential factors that trigger or hinder Chinese university students' innovative undertaking are internal rather than external. Finally, the paper proposes some suggestions on facilitating university students' entrepreneurial process. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
