AbstractIn this article, we attempt to explain the failure of many studies to show a link between entrepreneurs’ beliefs in their entrepreneurial skills and the actual or expected growth of their venture. By using Frese and Gielnik’s action-characteristics model of entrepreneurship as an analytical framework and analyzing Global Entrepreneurship Monitor Adult Population Survey data, we show that entrepreneurs’ perceived entrepreneurial skills are consistently inflated over the different phases of the startup, albeit in different ways. Depending on the typical form of overconfidence, the link between skill beliefs and growth expectations may be mediated by expectations about competitive advantages. Moreover, the huge drop in growth expectations is not associated with a drop in perceived skills; instead other entrepreneurial expectations also become more realistic and their effect strengthens with experience.

The objective of this study is to investigate a possible difference in entrepreneurial intention between developed and developing countries. For this purpose, we used the data of the year 2014 of the Adult Population Survey, made available by the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM). The intentional sample was defined based on two groups: developed countries belonging to the G7 and developing countries, belonging to BRICS. To test the hypotheses, we used non-parametric tests for categorical data. The results show that BRICS countries have greater entrepreneurial intention when compared to the G7 countries. In addition, the BRICS countries do not have the same perception and entrepreneurial intention; finally, we found that men have a greater entrepreneurial intention when compared to women. The study contributes to the literature of entrepreneurship, more particularly when it comes to entrepreneurial profile and intention, advancing with comparative studies between countries with different economic, cultural and social characteristics.

ResumoEmpreendedorismo social é visto como uma forma hibrida de empreendedorismo, no qual se prioriza a promoção do valor social e desenvolvimento versus a captura de valor econômico. Este artigo objetiva analisar o perfil do Empreendedor Social (ES) no Brasil, e as diferenças em destaque com o tipificado Empreendedor voltado para o Mercado (EM). Foram utilizados os dados secundários obtidos junto ao GEM Adult Population Survey (APS) 2015/16. A amostra foi constituída por 2000 empresários adultos em atividade, escolhidos de forma probabilística com base no censo brasileiro e, posteriormente, separados em dois grupos, conforme proposto no objetivo. A fim de explorar as diferenças entre estes dois grupos se empregou o teste do qui-quadrado para amostras independentes não paramétricas, utilizando o software SPSS v.25. Os resultados apresentam o perfil dos empreendedores sociais analisados sob as dimensões Atitudes e Percepções Empreendedoras; Atividade Empreendedora e Aspirações Empreendedoras. Apesar de constituir uma pequena parcela empresarial brasileira se concluiu que o empreendedor social se diferencia do empreendedor para o negócio em relação as suas características de conhecimento e habilidade para o negócio social, de analisar e assumir os riscos calculados e proporcionar ideias inovadoras. Ao avaliar o perfil do empreendedor social brasileiro se espera ampliar o conhecimento acadêmico e de negócio, ao identificar os aspectos que diferenciam os empreendedores sociais dos empreendedores voltados para o mercado, possibilitando o delineamento de estudos futuros sobre a temática apresentada. Palavras-chave: Atividade do Empreendedorismo Social. Empreendedorismo Híbrido. Global Entrepreneurship Monitor. AbstractSocial entrepreneurship is seen as a hybrid form of entrepreneurship, in which the social value promotion and development is prioritized versus the economic value capture. This article aims to analyze the Social Entrepreneur’s profile (SE) in Brazil, and the differences highlighted with the typified Market-oriented Entrepreneur (ME). Secondary data from the GEM Adult Population Survey (APS) 2015/16 were used. The sample consisted of 2000 active adult entrepreneurs, selected in a probabilistic manner based on the Brazilian census and later separated into two groups, as proposed in the objective. In order to explore the differences between these two groups, the chi-square test was used for nonparametric independent samples using the SPSS v.25 software. The results present the social entrepreneurs’s profile analyzed under the dimensions Entrepreneurial Attitudes and Perceptions; Entrepreneurial Activity and Entrepreneurial Aspirations. Despite constituting a small portion of Brazilian business, it was concluded that the social entrepreneur differs from the market-oriented entrepreneur in terms of knowledge and skill for social business, to analyze and take calculated risks and provide innovative ideas. By assessing the Brazilian social entrepreneur’s profile, it is expected to broaden academic and business knowledge by identifying the aspects that differentiate social entrepreneurs from market-oriented entrepreneurs, enabling the design of future studies on the theme presented.

Tourism’s increasing share of Gross Domestic Product throughout the world, its impact on employment and its continuous growth justifies the interest it raises amongst entrepreneurs and public authorities. However, this growth coexists with intense competition; as a result of which, tourism companies must continuously innovate in order to survive and grow. This is evident in the diversification of tourism products and destinations, the improvement of business processes and the incorporation of new technologies for intermediation, amongst other examples. This paper expounds on the factors that explain the propensity for innovation amongst tourism entrepreneurs and it may help governments to promote innovation that is based on those determining factors. The hypotheses are tested using a logistic regression on 699 international tourism entrepreneurs, taken from the 2014 Global Adult Population Survey of the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor project. The propensity for innovation amongst tourism entrepreneurs has a statistically significant relationship to gender, age, level of education and informal investments in previous businesses.
