<p>El Centro de Emprendedurismo CCEEmprende de- sarrolla, desde 2007, un programa de apoyo a emprende- dores. Para mejorar su gestión, resulta de gran importancia analizar, en forma preliminar, los emprendimientos en una de dos categorías: éxito o fracaso. En este artículo se identifican los principales factores asociados al éxito de un emprendimiento y cómo se vincu- lan para anticipar el futuro del emprendimiento. Se presenta un caso de estudio con base en los datos de una encuesta realizada a emprendedores participantes del programa, aplicando técnicas de clasificación. Las dos técnicas utilizadas de data mining son árbol de decisión y regresión logística, en ambas se obtuvieron resultados coincidentes. Los hallazgos muestran que los dos elementos más relevantes para anticipar el éxito de un emprendimiento son contar con financiamiento y que, anteriormente, la situa- ción laboral del emprendedor sea trabajador independiente. Estos primeros resultados obtenidos en el estudio de caso revelan información útil acerca de las mejores formas de apoyo al emprendedor, cómo generar incentivos al em- prendedor y la definición de herramientas o actividades que incidan favorablemente en el éxito de los emprendimientos. Si bien desde la teoría o para otras realidades existe infor- mación sobre los factores que colaboran en la determina- ción del éxito, para la realidad del Uruguay no se identifican estudios similares.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Abstract</strong> </p><p>Since 2007, the CCEE Entrepreneurship Centre has developed a supporting program for entrepreneurs. A preliminary analysis to determine if the venture was successful or a failure is made to improve the program’s management . In this article, the authors identify the main factors associated with entrepreneurship’s success, and how they can anticipate entrepreneurship’s performance. The case study is based on a survey data applied to the Entrepreneurship Program participants. The two data mining techniques are decision trees and logistic regression. The results were consistent across both tech- niques. The findings show that the two most important elements to predict entrepreneurship’s success are fun- ding and previous experience as self-employed. The results provided very useful insight about the best ways to support entrepreneurship, how to encoura- ge entrepreneurs, and define tools or activities to impact positively ventures success in Uruguay, since similar stu- dies have not been developed.</p>

Data Mining Application

One of the tasks in the field of marketing finance is to analyze customer data to find out which customers have the potential to do credit again. The method used to analyze customer data is by classifying all customers who have completed their credit installments into marketing targets, so this method causes high operational marketing costs. Therefore this research was conducted to help solve the above problems by designing a data mining application that serves to predict the criteria of credit customers with the potential to lend (credit) to Mega Auto Finance. The Mega Auto finance Fund Section located in Kotim Regency is a place chosen by researchers as a case study, assuming the Mega Auto finance Fund Section has experienced the same problems as described above. Data mining techniques that are applied to the application built is a classification while the classification method used is the Decision Tree (decision tree). While the algorithm used as a decision tree forming algorithm is the C4.5 Algorithm. The data processed in this study is the installment data of Mega Auto finance loan customers in July 2018 in Microsoft Excel format. The results of this study are an application that can facilitate the Mega Auto finance Funds Section in obtaining credit marketing targets in the future

Significant data development has required organizations to use a tool to understand the relationships between data and make various appropriate decisions based on the information obtained. Customer segmentation and analysis of their behavior in the manufacturing and distribution industries according to the purposefulness of marketing activities and effective communication and with customers has a particular importance. Customer segmentation using data mining techniques is mainly based on the variables of recency purchase (R), frequency of purchase (F) and monetary value of purchase (M) in RFM model. In this article, using the mentioned variables, twelve customer groups related to the BTB (business to business) of a food production company, are grouped. The grouping in this study is evaluated based on the K-means algorithm and the Davies-Bouldin index. As a result, customer grouping is divided into three groups and, finally the CLV (customer lifetime value) of each cluster is calculated, and appropriate marketing strategies for each cluster have been proposed.
