“…Estos resultados coinciden con lo expresado por Petit (2007), que indica que la innovación y el emprendimiento constituyen mecanismos que dinamizan recursos, capacidades y competencias para la generación de conocimiento que se plasma en estrategias para explotar nuevas oportunidades que económicamente generen valor. El emprendimiento rural se ha convertido en uno de los factores claves para el desarrollo local y la agroindustria (Wortman, 2009;Doherty, 2014). Las especificidades de las regiones son fundamentales para la ejecución de los proyectos; ya que los componentes de los ecosistemas de conocimiento e innovación son interdependientes y, como tales, deben actuar al unísono tanto en su estructura e influencia para materializar sus efectos sobre la economía y la sociedad a través de la innovación y el emprendimiento, generando transformaciones, cambios tecnológicos y mejoras en la competitividad (Osman, 2014;Spigel, 2017).…”

ResumenEl objetivo de la presente investigación fue analizar empíricamente la relación entre innovación, emprendimiento y desarrollo local del pueblo de Salinas de Guaranda, provincia Bolívar, Ecuador. Para este propósito se empleo un enfoque cualitativo a través de la observación de campo y entrevistas, y otro cuantitativo con la aplicación de una encuesta que permita generar un modelo simple de regresión. Los resultados muestran que el emprendimiento contribuye de manera significativa al desarrollo local, no así la innovación. La organización comunitaria, la economía solidaria, liderazgo y cultura emprendedora son factores claves para el éxito de los emprendimientos en esta localidad. Se concluye que el emprendimiento ha contribuido al desarrollo local generando fuentes de empleo que permiten mejorar el nivel de vida de la poblacion basado en equidad, participación comunitaria y economía solidaria. Palabras clave: innovación; emprendimiento; cultura; desarrollo local; Salinas de Guaranda Innovation and Entrepreneurship, and their Relation with Local Development in the Town of Salinas de Guaranda, Provincia Bolívar, Ecuador AbstractThe objective of the present research was to empirically analyze the relationship between innovation, entrepreneurship and local development of Salinas de Guaranda, Bolívar province, Ecuador. This study was divided in two parts: first a qualitative analysis carried on through field observations and interviews and secondly a quantitative analysis through the application of a survey, with the aim of developing a simple regression model. The findings show that entrepreneurship contributes significantly to local development, but not so innovation. Aspects such as community organization, solidarity economy, leadership and entrepreneurial culture, are the key factors for the success of entrepreneurship in this town. In conclusion, entrepreneurship has contributed to local development through generating employment to improve the living level of population, based on equity, community participation and solidarity economy.

“…Generally, these collaborations were driven by the Entrepreneurial Occupation approach, with the faculty trying to prepare students for careers in their profession as self-employed. For example, agriculturebusiness collaborations in early times came from opportunities such as Max Wortman's work while holding an agribusiness chair at Iowa State University from 1988 on, or Frank Hoy's work while directing the Georgia Small Business Development Center in the late 1980s (Wortman 1990). …”

This article provides a history of the development of cross campus entrepreneurship education (CCEE) in the United States and the European Union. Three drivers of CCEE were identified -Entrepreneurial Occupation, Entrepreneurial Employment and 10 Entrepreneurial Universities. Five models for CCEE efforts were also identified: focused (single-discipline), collaborative (two or more disciplines coordinating), magnet (bringing a campus to a central place), radiant (distributing resources across a campus) and mixed. CCEE efforts in the USA and EU initially stemmed from individual actions, with further US growth due to the involvement of private foundations, while in Europe, the individual actors' efforts gave way to EU-wide policies promoting CCEE for all higher educational institutions as part of the Oslo Agenda. These efforts are described and contrasted. Research topics related to the different approaches and issues of CCEE are identified.

“…Despite the long history of entrepreneurship studies, rural entrepreneurship did not have a prominent place in the literature until the 1980s (Wortman, 1990). Generally, rural entrepreneurs are defined or studied in the same way as their urban counterparts with reference to their entrepreneurial profiles and their needs, viz.…”

Terms of use: Documents in Embeddedness of Entrepreneurs in Rural Areas AbstractThis study aims to identify the critical factor(s) that determine the embeddedness level (EL) of rural entrepreneurs. In order to achieve this aim, existing applied studies on the embeddedness of entrepreneurs undertaken in different rural areas were systematically collected to create a database in order to provide the material for a systematic comparative analysis. This was done in order to highlight common and contrasting findings from a set of selected studies for different ELs. As many results of these studies were largely qualitative in nature and only partially comparable, a specific tool for analysing categorical data based on artificial intelligence methods, viz. rough set data analysis (RSDA), was employed. This experimental study is the first RSDA approach that compares the results of several rural case studies and infers general induction rules for the different ELs. The results of our analysisshow that using and benefiting from local resources are the key factors that explain how entrepreneurs become embedded in rural areas.
