El estudio utiliza los datos de la Encuesta de la Población Adulta del Proyecto de Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM, por sus siglas en inglés). Se encontró que las mujeres empresarias en Puerto Rico tienden a ser dueñas únicas de sus negocios, tienen muchos competidores locales, y usualmente no exportan sus bienes o servicios fuera de la Isla. La motivación primaria para empezar el negocio fue tener una oportunidad de negocio junto a una meta personal de mayor independencia en el lugar de trabajo. La educación es un determinante fundamental de ser empresaria en Puerto Rico.text/htmlengUniversidad EAFIThttp://publicaciones.eafit.edu.co/index.php/administer/article/view/2127http://publicaciones.eafit.edu.co/index.php/administer/article/view/2127Copyright © 2013 Marisela Santiago Castro, Michael J PisaniAcceso abiertohttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2instname:Universidad EAFITreponame:Repositorio Institucional Universidad EAFITAD-minister: No 23 (2013)An Initial Review of the Characteristics and Determinants of Female Entrepreneurs in Puerto RicoCaracterísticas y determinantes de mujeres empresarias en Puerto Rico: una mirada inicialarticleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articlepublishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionArtículohttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_2df8fbb1womenentrepreneurshipfemale entrepreneurshipGEMPuerto RicomujeresemprendimientoGEMPuerto RicoMarisela Santiago CastroMichael J PisaniUniversidad de Puerto RicoCentral Michagan UniversityAD-minister23131150THUMBNAILminiatura-administer.jpgminiatura-administer.jpgimage/jpeg8755https://repository.eafit.edu.co/bitstreams/918eea1b-9e91-46ed-aaca-eb2bc7e80be4/download87c28d32b620f3408b1c70a3c505fbd8MD51ORIGINALAn Initial Review of the Characteristics and Determinants of Female Entrepreneurs in Puerto Rico.pdfAn Initial Review of the Characteristics and Determinants of Female Entrepreneurs in Puerto Rico.pdfTexto completo PDFapplication/pdf274313https://repository.eafit.edu.co/bitstreams/f9d725a9-7798-4cec-9b6a-e6e3403c8e23/download2340197ec7cb69df090c4f1b48798d57MD52articulo.htmlarticulo.htmlTexto completo HTMLtext/html374https://repository.eafit.edu.co/bitstreams/9fa1a85d-1830-4ec4-9501-9bd077d0fe70/download91d0f265f96a28eadffda46e5f4b1e5fMD5310784/13964oai:repository.eafit.edu.co:10784/139642019-12-04 09:07:35.42open.accesshttps://repository.eafit.edu.coRepositorio Institucional Universidad EAFITrepositorio@eafit.edu.co
