This paper examines the attitudes and perceptions towards “entrepreneurship” from stakeholders’ perspectives. Based on the questionnaires collected from 56 university students, 10 teachers, and 11 practitioners, the socio-demographic information suggest the importance of considering cultural and societal factors in students’ entrepreneurial endeavours, such as family economic status and parental education. Metaphor analysis highlights the perceptual differences in goal orientations (i.e., “either win or lose” for students, “specific goals to achieve” for teachers, “multiple and dynamic goals” for practitioners) and entrepreneurial considerations (e.g., “uncertainty” for students, “creativity” for teachers, and “virtues” for practitioners), suggesting the needs to bridge the gaps to facilitate entrepreneurial education in China.
