Entrepreneurship can be defined as bringing together existing parts and creating market share by taking advantage of opportunities. Entrepreneurship intention is the activity of implementing the process by using functions such as risk, decision-making and management, with innate or acquired characteristics. Entrepreneurial intention can be affected by some individual and social facts. Culture and social networks are also considered to have an important place in terms of entrepreneurial intention. The aim of this study is to examine whether the way the student uses his or her social network has an important mediating role in the effect of social cultural values on students' entrepreneurial intentions. Three different surveys were used to measure and evaluate Entrepreneurial Intention, Societal Cultural Values and Social Network Usage.
