AbstractIn recent decades economic integration and globalization processes facilitate the firms’ internationalization. The main determinants of that process are divided into three categories - internal factors, external factors and personal characteristics of an entrepreneur. The latter is considered to be the most important and will be the research subject in this article. The objective of this paper is to analyze the determinants of firm internationalization on the individual level and to verify whether entrepreneurial traits of the founder are indeed important for the internationalization. The research is based on the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor data, using which we employ independent sample t-test and one-way ANOVA analyses to test the hypotheses. The results show that the only variable which determines international orientation of a company is the level of education of an entrepreneur. All other characteristics of an entrepreneur do not correlate with international orientation of a firm. Results obtained make important contribution to entrepreneurship research - they show significant shift in international entrepreneurship trends - internationalization is getting more available, less risky and more natural for entrepreneurs of different ages, backgrounds and individual characteristics. Findings may be useful for further international entrepreneurship research.

The Impact

Entrepreneurial Ecosystems (EEs) have attracted the attention of academics, practitioners, and policymakers, that attempt to unlock ‘a winning recipe’ considering the different EEs pillars in order to ignite entrepreneurship at large. Therefore, understanding the degree of influence of each pillar on Entrepreneurial Initiative (EI) is helpful in framing more effective policies towards entrepreneurship. This study aims to bring a new facet to entrepreneurship research, specifically on decomposing the transformation of EEs and the influence of EEs pillars on EI. The transformation of EEs is shown by a balanced panel approach based on the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) dataset over 8 years (2010–2017), comprising 18 countries. The study has several implications for entrepreneurship theory and practice as well as public policy since discusses three main issues, mainly supported by empirical results. First, the results show an unbalanced influence of EEs pillars on EI. Second, results also show the ineffectiveness of institutions in encouraging the desire to act entrepreneurially. Third, entrepreneurship needs to be part of the acculturation process evidencing the importance of collective normative. Therefore, providing the instruments and structures is not enough to encourage individuals to start an entrepreneurial journey. Generally, the results reveal that contextual determinants are significant in fostering entrepreneurial propensity to start a business. But the impact of the nine pillars is not equalized, revealing a fragmented influence with funding measures, R&D transfer, and cultural and social norms discouraging entrepreneurial initiative. Overall, the study contributes to the understanding of a multidimensional perspective on EEs and points future policy directions to overcome the lack of entrepreneurship and amend flawed entrepreneurship policies.

AbstractThe creation of new ventures involves a great deal of risk and uncertainty. However, research has been theoretically divergent and empirically inconclusive about the influence of individuals’ risk tolerance on entrepreneurial entry. In this paper, we argue that this relationship is contingent on the reference point of individuals, taking into account the human capital and the opportunity cost of individuals when they decide to start a venture. This approach allows us to clarify some of the previous mixed results in the literature. We use a sample of almost 600,000 individuals from 90 countries that have participated in the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor project between 2010 and 2014. Our results show that individuals with previous experience as entrepreneurs do not need to be so risk-tolerant to set up their own venture, while individuals with a job and/or a high educational level need to be especially risk-tolerant to become entrepreneurs.

O aumento no número de empresas criadas por mulheres vem ganhando destaque nos últimos anos. De acordo com o Global Entrepreneurship Monitor, 50,7% das mulheres concordaram que o medo de fracassar não as impediria de começar um novo negócio. Mas não é só o medo que deve ser enfrentado por elas. Outras dificuldades para a atividade empreendedora são apontadas na literatura, como: barreiras de gênero, conflito família e trabalho, financeiras, de apoio familiar, de gerência de negócio, disponibilidade de tempo e qualificação. Este artigo objetivou analisar as dificuldades enfrentadas pelas mulheres no desenvolvimento empreendedor na cidade de Campo Maior - PI. Optou-se por utilizar uma abordagem qualitativa e de cunho descritivo. As mulheres pesquisadas são jovens com idade entre 22 e 34 anos, com formação concluída ou em cursos de graduação em outras áreas, que não a de gestão, que resolveram empreender pela percepção de oportunidade. A realidade empreendedora das mulheres na cidade se aproxima da caracterização sintetizada a partir da leitura, à exceção da captação de recursos financeiros que não aparentou ser influenciada por barreiras de gênero.

The article analyzes the Early Entrepreneurship Rate (TEA) and the generation of jobs. The results show in the first instance that undertaking in the province of Tungurahua is very complicated. The EAP of the province is 313,018 between men and women; of these, a quarter are employed in more than 42,500 companies, which is why there has been growth in new companies at the provincial level. Finally, the equation is applied where the constant is employment and established companies and these explain the TEA; therefore, the p value of the variables is less than the significance level, that is, the alternative hypothesis is verified, being that the Early Entrepreneurship Rate (TEA) does generate jobs.

O empreendedorismo representa uma alternativa para alavancar a inclusão social e econômica de um país. Este artigo propõe a análise e reflexão a partir de Lenzi (2008) sobre as dez competências empreendedoras e o relatório Global Entrepreneurship Monitor - GEM (2016; 2017; 2018). Os relatórios do Fórum Econômico Mundial – WEF/FEM (2016-2017; 2018-2019) apresentam dados sobre a competitividade mundial. Adotou-se a técnica de observação sistemática e aplicação de questionário qualiquantitativo, estruturado, destinado a 100 egressos dos cursos técnicos modulares de uma escola técnica estadual da cidade de São Paulo. Os resultados sinalizaram que a educação profissional sob a perspectiva socioeconômica e cultural na construção de valores, é fator essencial no desenvolvimento de competências empreendedoras nos egressos de nível médio.
