Abstract

Despite growing concern towards entrepreneurship, the number of studies directly targeting the profile of the entrepreneur involved in innovative and high-tech new ventures are still scarce. This study, based on the empirical analysis of 18 highly innovative new ventures is focused on this category of entrepreneurs. Through the application of the statistical method known as the Cross-Tabs over a list of 31 variables defining the entrepreneur´s behavior and the new venture prospects we come up with a final profile of the innovative entrepreneur more likely to succeed in high-tech and highly innovative fields. A pesar del creciente interés de los analistas hacia la figura del emprendedor, el número de estudios orientados a estudiar el perfil del emprendedor innovador o emprendedor “high-tech” es todavía escaso. El presente estudio, basado en un análisis empírico sobre 18 compañías altamente innovadoras y de reciente constitución ubicadas en la zona conocida como la Bahía de San Francisco, apunta directamente sobre la mencionada categoría de emprendedor. A través de la aplicación del método estadístico Cros-Tab sobre una lista de 31 variables definitorias del comportamiento del emprendedor y las perspectivas de las compañías innovadoras nacientes, obtenemos finalmente un perfil del emprendedor innovador óptimo, capaz de gestionar adecuadamente nuevas empresas innovadoras.
