ResumenEl éxito emprendedor al transformar ideas en realidades parece interesante para cualquier sociedad. La pregunta de investigación es ¿existen cualidades medibles específicas de emprendedores/as de éxito? Crear empresas es un acto creativo, referencia para poner a prueba una medición objetiva de la creatividad. El objetivo de investigación es crear un test capaz de medir cualidades observadas en creadores de empresas. La metodología consiste en aplicar el test a tres grupos (Normal, N=2.126; Emprendedor, N=29 y Multiemprendedor, N=8); analizar resultados; seleccionar dimensiones explicativas de las cualidades detectadas agrupando ítems y comparar bibliografía relacionada. Los resultados confirman diferencias significativas (confiabilidad >95%) a mayor nivel de emprendimiento mayor puntuación (53,27<63,09<74,62). Las 15 cualidades explicativas detectadas son: conversación eficiente, liderazgo, resolución, proactividad, activación, prioridad, realismo, reconocimiento, experiencia oficial, riesgo, tenacidad, interacción, sin rencor, empatía y equilibrio. Al explicar qué mide el test, se opta por el término "creatividad convergente" (materialización de ideas), evitando posibles distorsiones de la palabra "creatividad".Palabras clave: Éxito emprendedor; creatividad convergente, test Juárez, cualidades, potencial, psicología humanista. AbstractEntrepreneurial success in transforming ideas into realities is important for any society. The research question is whether successful entrepreneurs possess specific measurable qualities. Given that forming new companies is in itself a creative act, the experience should provide data that allow one to test an objective measurement of creativity. Hence, the research goal here is to create a test capable of measuring qualities observed in business creators. The methodology consists of applying the test to three groups (Normal, N = 2.126; Entrepreneur, N = 29, and Multientrepreneur, N = 8), analyzing the results, and selecting explanatory dimensions of the qualities detected by grouping items and comparing related literature. The results confirm significant differences (reliability> 95%) among the test groups; at higher levels of entrepreneurship, there were higher test scores (53.27 <63.09 <74.62). The 15 explanatory qualities detected are: efficient conversation, leadership, resolution, proactivity, activation, priority, realism, recognition, official experience, risk, tenacity, interaction, no rancor, empathy and equilibrium. To explain what the test measures, the term "convergent creativity" (materialization of ideas) is chosen, avoiding possible distortions of the word "creativity".
Building foundations are usually retrofitted with directly connected micropiles; however, at the present time, there are different approaches for predicting shear capacity in the micropile–foundation connection. At first, the concrete shear strength was considered. Nowadays, in the EU countries, it is prescribed to use the shear strength of the interface between successive concrete casts at different times. This implies a reduction of the connection capacity by half, and these values are not in consonance with the lab results. This work analyses the economic impact of the previous considerations on retrofit projects with micropiles. To this aim, firstly, seven different formulations were applied to 29 building projects, and the results were compared. Secondly, a Monte Carlo sensitivity analysis was performed using bond stress distribution data obtained from lab tests. Thus, numerical results acquired by comparing European and American regulations show an average difference in cost of around 40%, which may reach up to 50%. Moreover, the Monte Carlo simulation confirms that the connection strength may become a limitation in retrofit projects, also indicating that the application of European codes usually leads to the most expensive designs. Finally, the results show that it is not worth improving the connection to exceed a bond stress of 0.60 MPa, since no relevant savings are produced by achieving higher values.
