Synopsis

The book is the product of data collected by the research "Determining factors in the creation of university spin-offs in Colombia", a Doctoral Thesis project in Economics and Business from the University of Santiago de Compostela, directed by PhD David Rodeiro-Pazos, developed in alliance between UNAD Santa Marta, the Universidad de los Llanos and the University Entrepreneurship Network of the Colombian Association of Universities (Reune-Ascun) over four years, using a mixed-type methodology with two quantitative instruments: the first to identify Research Result companies, and the second to analyze the initial and current profile of entrepreneurs related to universities in Colombia; as well as to compare their perceptions with data from the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM).

The work is composed of four sections. The first section describes the profile of academic entrepreneurs from Latin American countries belonging to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), specifically the cases of Mexico, Costa Rica and Chile compared to Colombian entrepreneurs. The second section presents a documentary analysis related to the Colombian entrepreneur in terms of profile, characteristics, motivation and emotional intelligence, aspects that are connected to university spin-off entrepreneurs. The third section incorporates the study of profiles of entrepreneurs related to companies resulting from university research (spin-off) and the relationship with the broader group of Colombian entrepreneurs. The fourth chapter presents the differences between academic entrepreneurs (university spin-off) and Colombian entrepreneurs, based on a comparison of the factors or variables considered by GEM Colombia 2020 in the study.
