Num mundo dinâmico como o de hoje, o empreendedorismo revelou-se como uma forma de sobressair e de ganhar vantagens competitivas como vários estudos têm demonstrado ao longo dos anos. Uma questão que se encontra ainda por responder, a qual endereçamos neste trabalho, é como a competitividade afeta o empreendedorismo. Utilizaram-se os pilares do Global Competitiveness Index (GCI) - instituições, infraestruturas, ambiente macroeconómico, saúde e educação primária, formação e educação superior, eficiência de mercado dos bens, eficiência do mercado laboral, desenvolvimento do mercado financeiro, preparação tecnológica, dimensão do mercado, sofisticação do negócio e inovação - que, todos juntos, definem a competitividade de uma nação, e os dados provenientes da Total early-stage Entrepreneurial Activity (TEA), desde 2006 até 2015. Adicionalmente, utilizando a classificação de Porter,
dividimos os países em factor-, efficiency- e innovation driven economies, por forma a perceber como a competitividade afeta o empreendedorismo de acordo com o grau de desenvolvimento económico de cada nação. Verificámos individualmente como cada pilar afeta o empreendedorismo em geral e para cada estádio. Os resultados obtidos demonstram algumas relações esperadas entre os pilares da competitividade e o empreendedorismo, mas provam também que alguns conceitos suprimem o empreendedorismo
In a dynamic world as today, entrepreneurship has revealed itself as a way of standing out and gaining competitive advantages as several studies have shown in the past years. One main question that is left to understand, which we address in this work, is how competitiveness affects entrepreneurship. We used Global Competitiveness Index's 12 pillars - institutions, infrastructures, macroeconomic environment, health and primary education, higher education and training, goods market efficiency, labor market efficiency, financial market development, technological readiness, market size, business sophistication and innovation - which, together, define a nation's competitiveness, and used data related to the Total early-stage Entrepreneurial Activity from 2006 to 2015. Additionally, using Porter's classification, we divided countries in factor, efficiency and innovation-driven economies to understand how competitiveness affects entrepreneurship according to a country's stage of economic development. We individually check how each pillar affects entrepreneurship in general and for each stage. The results show some expected significant relations between competitiveness's pillars but also proves some concepts supress entrepreneurship.
