Comparison of the entrepreneurial profile in students of the Mexico-Peru business and industrial area
Abstract
There are various strategies designed with the intention of promoting development and economic growth in the countries; one of them is entrepreneurship, mainly among young people. Therefore, the role played by higher education institutions is essential, especially those directly related to the business and industrial area. In the present investigation, this topic is approached from the systemic theory of entrepreneurship, for which two factors closely linked to each other have been considered: culture and education. The objective was to evaluate the entrepreneurial profile of higher education students from the business and industrial area of two universities (one Mexican and one Peruvian) through the GUESSS instrument (Global University Entrepreneurial Spirit Student's Survey). As a hypothesis, it was proposed that there is a significant difference between the entrepreneurial profile of the students of the two countries. For this, a quantitative research with a descriptive scope was developed. Data collection was carried out using Google forms, which were sent by email to the selected students (276 Mexicans and 323 Peruvians). The answers obtained were transferred to Excel and later to SPSS (version 24) to carry out their descriptive analysis. The results indicate that the entrepreneurial profile of students in Mexico is 4.32 and in Peru 3.87. This difference is significant between the groups using the Student's t-test, obtaining f = 0.000, so the hypothesis that there is a significant difference is confirmed.
