| description | Without question, entrepreneurship is present in all spheres of
our lives, especially in economic and social areas. This field is
significant in the development of societies and is also considered
a useful tool in promoting innovation and job creation in many
countries. For this reason, it needs to be promoted as a central
component of economic growth. As a result, the creation of new
businesses or projects and the promotion of self-employment
have been stimulated by public and private organisations. The
goal of this research is to determine what triggers individuals to
be actively involved in entrepreneurial activity in the initial
phases, based on a survey by Global Entrepreneurship Monitor
conducted in Portugal, in 2012. The results of this analysis
revealed that early-stage entrepreneurial activity is associated
with younger (25–34 years old) males, who have a medium to
higher level of household income, as well as diplomas. They are
self-employed, and they have loose ties to other entrepreneurs.
They perceive themselves as possessing entrepreneurial skills
and have a low level of perceived risk and a positive personal
attitude towards individual innovation. |
