Resumo(s)
Os concursos de empreendedorismo expandiram-se na Europa a partir da Estratégia de Lisboa, onde foi realçada a importância da educação em empreendedorismo para o desenvolvimento económico dos países. Na última década, estes concursos evoluíram exponencialmente. Estudos recentes analisam sobretudo o impacto destes concursos a nível da criação de empresas. Contudo, é necessário o estudo mais aprofundado dos benefícios percecionados pelo participante.
Esta investigação vem colmatar a falta de estudos nesta área, contribuindo para uma melhor compreensão dos benefícios resultantes da participação em concursos de empreendedorismo e no desenvolvimento de competências empreendedoras, aumento de conhecimentos, aumento da inspiração e, por fim, acesso a recursos. Assim, os principais objetivos são i) desenvolver um quadro concetual no âmbito dos impactos dos concursos de empreendedorismo; ii) identificar a importância da orientação empreendedora individual, empreendedorismo nascente, dos componentes e da fase de concurso no contexto da aquisição de benefícios; iii) compreender quais os benefícios percecionados pelos empreendedores. As hipóteses foram testadas através de dados recolhidos por questionário aos participantes do Poliempreende.
Os resultados forneceram suporte empírico para as relações entre a orientação empreendedora individual e as componentes do concurso (por exemplo, sessões de capacitação e workshops) com o desenvolvimento de competências empreendedoras para, posteriormente, potenciar o aumento de conhecimentos, o aumento da inspiração e o acesso a recursos. Adicionalmente, foi encontrada a relação entre a fase de participação e o acesso a recursos. Foi igualmente encontrado suporte empírico para a relação entre a orientação empreendedora individual e a fase de concurso com o empreendedorismo nascente.
Entrepreneurship contests increased across Europe due to the Lisbon Strategy guidelines, where the importance of education for entrepreneurship for the economic development of the countries was highlighted. In the last decade, these contests suffered an exponential increase. Recent studies in this topic are focused in the creation of new companies. However, a more profound study is needed to know the advantages and impacts on the participant?s side view. This research will address the lack of studies in this area, contributing to a better understanding of the benefits gained through the participation in the entrepreneurship contests, such as developing entrepreneurial skills, increasing knowledge, inspiration, and access to resources. The goals of this investigation are i) develop a framework within the impacts of the entrepreneurship contests; ii) identify the importance of the individual entrepreneurship orientation, nascent entrepreneurship, the components and the phase of the contest in the framework of benefits acquisition; iii) understand which benefits are perceived by the entrepreneurs. The different alternatives were tested with the collected data from a questionnaire made to Poliempreende participants. The results provided an empirical support to the relationship between the individual entrepreneur orientation and the contest components (including capacitation sessions and workshops) with the development of entrepreneur skills. This way, it will be possible to increase knowledge, inspiration and access to resources. Additionally, a relationship was found between the phase and access to resources. It was equally found empirical support to the relationship between the individual entrepreneur orientation and the phase with the nascent entrepreneurship.
