Factores que condicionan la implementación de emprendimientos a partir de proyectos de educación media

Abstract

Entrepreneurship represents a topic of discussion with preponderant importance at the academic and governmental levels due to its remarkable capacity to drive nations' development and innovation. From this perspective, the study’s objective is to determine the factors that condition the implementation of enterprises based on unified general high school projects. The methodological design is based on a quantitative research approach and descriptive scope. Data collection was carried out through the survey technique, using a questionnaire as a tool, applied to a simple and stratified random sample of high school students and teachers responsible for entrepreneurship in the school year 2022-2023 in academic units of the canton Cañar - Ecuador. The findings show that 40% of the projects are implemented after the students graduate, while 60% are not. Finally, it is concluded that the main limiting factor for entrepreneurship is the lack of economic resources and the deficiencies in public policies that make the entrepreneurship ecosystem more complex. In conclusion, it is essential for educational institutions, as a transversal axis of their management, to make strategic alliances with public and private organizations to strengthen entrepreneurial skills, expand financing options and promote the viability of their students' business ideas.
