Abstract

Este trabajo pretende contribuir al estudio de los factores y características que influyen en el proceso emprendedor, concretamente en la fase de identificación de oportunidades emprendedoras, previa a las de evaluación y explotación. En el estudio se ha analizado una muestra de 241 empresarios andaluces que han puesto en marcha una o más oportunidades. Mediante un análisis descriptivo se determinan el papel que juegan en el descubrimiento de oportunidades los factores relativos a las características del emprendedor y motivaciones, su capital humano, con especial atención al conocimiento previo, así como las principales fuentes para su identificación.

Our study analyzes a sample of 241 Andalusian entrepreneurs that have driven one or several entrepreneurial opportunities. The results of the descriptive analysis show the role that entrepreneur’s characteristics, motivation, human capital (specially prior knowledge), and the sources for opportunity identification play in the discovery of new opportunities.
