Entrepreneurship is an important part of any economy today regardless of its level of development. However, not in all contexts do entrepreneurs operate in the same way, nor are they motivated by the same factors. This research seeks to identify possible coincidence factors and differences between entrepreneurs that operate in different contexts from the point of view of their historical evolution, the duration of these and the economic and social model applied in the countries. Specifically, a comparative study is carried out between entrepreneurs from the republics of Ecuador and Cuba considering various variables such as: personality characteristics (attitude to failure, risk, perseverance and innovation), use of the available time fund for work in entrepreneurship; Impact of the environment in relation to: government regulations, taxes, level of competition and availability of suppliers, as well as the structure of personal expenses projected in the short and long term that entrepreneurs assume as a stimulus for their actions. For the development of the study, a description of the behavior of the variables was initially made and later, by hypothesis testing, to verify differences and similarities between both populations. The study allowed us to identify common and divergent aspects between both populations analyzed. Similarly, it showed how differences in the administrative and financial environment in which entrepreneurs operate generate changes in their priorities and projections.
Mediante un análisis bibliométrico y técnicas de análisis estadístico multivariado se analizó la estructura teórica del emprendimiento social a través de la exploración y determinación de la relación entre las dimensiones y variables que componen este constructo. La investigación permitió determinar las relaciones entre cuatro dimensiones con sus correspondientes variables: social, gubernamental, de fomento estratégico del emprendimiento social y dispositivo de investigación social. Se constató que, en los países con mejor desarrollo en el ámbito del emprendimiento social, existía un equilibro entre su desarrollo teórico y práctico. Se destacaron los dispositivos de investigación social para proveer una base teórica y, así, poder utilizar el marco de la gestión de la información y el conocimiento. También se reveló que las economías más desarrolladas, paradójicamente, son las que muestran mejores indicadores teóricos y prácticos de emprendimiento social, en contraposición con países en vías de desarrollo en los que es más imperioso la solución (de manera sostenible) a problemas sociales acumulados por siglos. Por otra parte, el emprendimiento social puede contribuir con los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible en los países con economías más débiles, pero su impulso debe planearse y aplicarse con un enfoque práctico, basado en el desarrollo económico y comercial que sustente al ideal romántico o político.
