APPLICATION OF A FUZZY SYSTEM TO THE ANALYSIS OF ENTREPRENEURIAL INTENTION IN COLOMBIA
The incidence of diverse factors on the intention to create enterprises (EI) motivates the calculation of a multidimensional indicator that groups the initial endowments of the individual and the characteristics of the environment. Thus, the research introduces a new way of measuring business inte...

The incidence of diverse factors on the intention to create enterprises (EI) motivates the calculation of a multidimensional indicator that groups the initial endowments
of the individual and the characteristics of the environment. Thus, the research introduces
a new way of measuring business intent based on the mathematical support of the theory
of fuzzy sets; thus, employing a sample of MBA students in Colombia, a Multidimensional
Index of Enterprise Intent (MIEI) was calculated for 14 cities, segmented by gender, age,
and area of studies. The results of the document expose heterogeneity in Colombian cities
in terms of EI, with greater development in spatial units with facilities to do business.
Particularly, the results denote the presence of an EI cycle in the age range between 30
and 40 years and they confirm Bogotá, D.C., as the city with the highest EI in Colombia.
Meanwhile, the findings confirm minor entrepreneurial development in students with
vocation for agricultural science. |
