Present-day international research shows that future economic growth and job creation depend on the 'gazelles' - a small proportion of newly founded firms. One feature of the entrepreneurs who start and run these gazelles is that they have higher educational qualifications. Many other newly started firms, possibly with smaller growth potential, are also in graduate ownership. This is one important reason to know what proportion of university and college students intend to start a business after graduating. The study is based on data on entrepreneurial ambitions among 3346 students in eight Hungarian universities, taken from the 'Collegiate Entrepreneurship 2006' international survey of over 37,000 students in 14 countries. The survey shows that Hungarian students score within the international average, but below average if quality criteria are taken into account. However, the survey showed that attending entrepreneurial courses had a positive effect on entrepreneurial career choice, although further investigations are needed to prove the causal connection conclusively and gauge the strength of the connection. The study also makes economic recommendations for education policy. The entrepreurial careers of graduates would be assisted by making entrepreneurial courses compulsory in higher economic education and adult training, in line with world tendencies and the ideas of students themselves.

Big cities in Poland as well as abroad are the focus of many scientists of different disciplines. The authors of this study join these researchers and concentrate on a previously neglected segment of the Polish big cities’ political actors – city councillors. The aim of this paper is a socio-demographic description of the big city elite. The authors analyze its main characteristics: gender, age, occupational position, and local government experience. They also try to compare the big city elite with other parts of the political elite, especially with the simultaneously studied medium city elite. The paper is based on survey research conducted by the authors in the 12 biggest Polish cities.

In a quantitative study, the promotion of officials in seven counties of the Kingdom of Hungary is investigated. In the 18th century, some noble office-holders of humbler origins seem to have met difficulties being elected to the office of ordinarius judex nobilium, the lowest of the really important positions, while the most elevated gentry families did not even bother to serve in the county administration – or if so, then only for that of the ordinarius vicecomes, the leading office-holder. We can even get a glimpse of signs of professionalization among the county officials. An important fact is that the gate was open for some of the leading officials the counties to be appointed by the king to offices with nationwide authority, what testifies for an important link of the central royal bureaucracy and the county administration, the two rival elites of the age.
