Students At the Business School at Universidad Técnica Estatal De Quevedo-Ecuador and their Perception of Social Entrepreneurship

Abstract:

The objective of this paper is to promote the development of social entrepreneurship in the Faculty of Business Sciences of the State Technical University of Quevedo (UTEQ). For this purpose, it is necessary to identify the student's perception of social entrepreneurship. We worked with a sample of 611 students enrolled in the Faculty in their different careers to know what is their attitude toward social entrepreneurship. Among the main conclusions, it was determined that entrepreneurs want to have a business, as long as there are public and private entities that support them. In the correlation analysis, it is clear how entrepreneurship is closely related to the variables Business Idea and Career at UTEQ. It can be affirmed that social entrepreneurship is not a part of university students.
