Abstract

Se presentan los resultados de una investigación cuyo propósito fue caracterizar la actividad empresarial de los graduados de los programas de pregrado de la Universidad Militar Nueva Granada entre 1982 y 2007. El estudio fue de tipo exploratorio en el que se realizó un muestreo aleatorio estratificado con base en la población de graduados de 12 programas de pregrado de la Universidad. Para ello se disenó y aplicó una encuesta a 581 egresados. Los resultados arrojan que un 9% de los graduados son empresarios, con un mayor porcentaje en los programas de ingenierías y administración de empresas. El estudio sugiere articular las unidades programáticas curriculares y las actividades extracurriculares que buscan promover el espíritu empresarial. Se insiste en ofrecer este tipo de actividades de manera trasversal a los egresados de todos los programas, de tal manera que, estos cuenten con las herramientas básicas para crear empresa como una opción de inserción laboral y generadores de valor a la sociedad.
