Endogenous and exogenous factors of women and men entrepreneurs in Spain, the United States and Mexico.
Abstract
This research identifies the endogenous and exogenous factors of women and men entrepreneurs in the constitution of their companies, as well as the use of technology in the same. A questionnaire was designed with the endogenous dimensions of motivation and opportunities; in the exogenous dimension, the entrepreneurial culture is considered; as well as variables of the use of electronic media, educational level and business training. The samples were collected in Andalusia, Spain, Mexico City, Mexico and South West Border Texas, United States, with a total of 300 entrepreneurs, 100 from each country. In the endogenous variables, women scored higher than men. In the exogenous factors, there have only been differences in the importance attributed by entrepreneurs to educational programs and having access to financing, where, likewise, women have obtained higher average values than men.
