Abstract

This study analyzes the impact of individualistic and collectivistic cultural values on the entrepreneurial intentions of university students in Mexico. Through a quantitative methodology, a survey was applied to a representative sample, and data were analyzed using statistical techniques. Results suggest that both cultural dimensions influence entrepreneurial behavior, with variations by demographic and academic factors. These findings are relevant for entrepreneurship education and policies that promote business creation in diverse cultural contexts.
