Actitudes hacia el emprendimiento: el caso de los estudiantes universitarios chilenos y españoles

One of the missions of the university in today's world is to foment and implement processes that help students to find their place in society and become part of its productive structure. One way to achieve this is to motivate them to initiate business ventures. Accordingly, the objective of this research study was to discover the attitudinal variables that influence university students when they decide to start a business. By comparing two groups of students in different countries, it was also our aim to analyze the influence of cultural context on their entrepreneurial attitude. The subjects of our study were a group of students from the University of Santiago de Chile (Chile) and another group of students from the University of Granada (Spain). The analysis of the data reflected individual differences in the intention to start a business. The characterization of these proto-entrepreneurs is important.
