Purpose This study aims to focus on the entrepreneurial education and profile in undergraduate business administration programs in Brazil, particularly in the southern region of the state of Rio de Janeiro. Assuming that the entrepreneurial profile can be developed by teaching and learning processes. Design/methodology/approach The research performed qualitative approach through interviews and a quantitative approach using multiple criteria decision-making methods. Data were collected along 2015 in a survey with a population of 412 students from three high education institutions (HEIs) and analyzed using the analytic hierarchy process with ratings. Findings The study has found that the key entrepreneurial trait for all groups was the ability to “plan”. Other relevant dimensions were “self-realization”, “innovative” and “leader”. The dimensions “risk taking” and “sociability” were considered not important in the opinion of all groups. Practical implications The entrepreneurial profile does not seem to evolve over the four-year college period, thus suggesting a failure of the entrepreneurial education at the three surveyed HEIs to impact the overall perception of students about the requirements for creating and developing new ventures. Actions to revert this trend should be taken. Originality/value This research aims to identify differences in perception about the entrepreneurial profile among freshmen and senior undergraduates. The theme is relevant in a knowledge era where academy has to prepare students to be entrepreneurs. Similar studies were done around in Brazil and around the world but no one in the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The work has a contribution by proposing and applying a method to compare students groups, programs, institutions and countries over time.

O objetivo central desse artigo está em analisar o perfil de publicações a respeito ao empreendedorismo acadêmico nos últimos 26 anos. Avalia-se, que, seja por diferentes fontes de estudos e, o assunto empreendedorismo acadêmico, seja esse em educação, formação ou treinamento, ou mesmo interesse de pesquisa acadêmica, sendo estudado em diferentes países. Mediante a essa pesquisa, incita a proposta de uma analise e a separação dos tipos de produções para um maior entendimento critico sobre o empreendedorismo acadêmico e sua dinâmica de pesquisa científica. Na compreensão dessa proposta de pesquisa, optou-se pela metodologia Research Profiling (Perfil de pesquisa), para a ampliação do corpo da pesquisa bibliométrica, filtrando palavras chaves e identificando a composições de textos. O procedimento metodológico de pesquisa passou pela sequencia de: identificação de proposição de pesquisa; seleção da fonte de informação; filtragem e recuperação de dados; limpeza dos dados; análise preliminar e refinada; e por fim representação. Em especial, apresentam-se no trabalho, como resultados, os autores mais produtivos, os anos e numero de publicações sobre a área, os autores mais citados, as nacionalidades, as instituições mais produtivas, os países onde mais se produz as afiliações dos autores, e as organizações mais produtivas sobre o empreendedorismo acadêmico.
