Synopsis

The document presented herein is the result of the research project titled “Caracterización del perfil emprendedor de los estudiantes de pregrado de pregrados from the School of Administrative, Accounting, Economic, and Business Sciences” (Characterization of the Entrepreneurial Profile of Undergraduate Students) A representative sample of 186 enrolled students was selected during period 16-4 of the year 2022 at the José Acevedo y Gómez Center. This research proposal is part of the Organizational Management research line, contributes to the subline Sustainable Development and Competitiveness, and identifies entrepreneurial interests in the social, economic, productive, and academic domains of students enrolled in the programs offered by the School.
The methodology employed was qualitative in nature, utilizing an instrument designed to analyze four variables: entrepreneurial skills and competencies, identification of the entrepreneurial profile, interest in entrepreneurship, and the key activities within the ecosystem. The study characterized students, identifying their interests and expectations concerning entrepreneurial styles.
The book is presented in five chapters. The first one provides a general overview of the entrepreneur and the importance of entrepreneurship from four developmental perspectives, including its significance, the entrepreneurial profile, skills and competencies, various styles, and a general introduction to the ecosystem.
Unit 2 delves deeper into the concept of the ecosystem and its role in each entrepreneurial style: productive, social, occupational, and academic. These styles highlight the environment that fosters the entrepreneurial profile from different perspectives.
Unit 3 outlines the methodology employed in the research, including a description of the study population and the variables analyzed to determine the entrepreneurial styles of interest for university students and students from School of Administrative, Accounting, Economic and Business Sciences (ECACEN-JAG in Spanish).
Unit 4 presents the results derived from the applied instrument using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) tool. It compares the data obtained with entrepreneurial styles, skills, and profiles developed by the target population.
Finally, chapter 5 offers a reflection on the findings and actions to be enhanced, identifying opportunities for the development of each entrepreneurial profile and the impact that each of the four styles analyzed in the book can generate.
