description The creation of new firms is important for the economy, and entrepreneurial learning is essential for the performance of new firms. We contribute to existing knowledge by combining these two topics and considering a third one: The role of multinational companies (MNCs) as a source of learning for the entrepreneur. This approach has rarely been taken in the literature. We investigated the performance of a group of young companies created by former employees of MNCs and their relationship with entrepreneurial learning in such companies. The study was based on a sample of 175 former employees of MNCs in Costa Rica, who founded their own firm between 2001 and 2007. The control group was formed in the same sectors and over the same time period, but contained people who were not former employees of MNCs. We found a positive linear relationship between post-start-up entrepreneurial learning and performance. No relationship was found between pre-start-up entrepreneurial learning and performance. We did not find significant differences in entrepreneurs with work experience in MNCs. This poses interesting questions for future work.

El aprendizaje emprendedor es fundamental para el desempeño de las nuevas firmas. Este artículo contribuye al conocimiento combinando los dos temas anteriores y considerando el papel que cumplen las empresas multinacionales (EIVIN) como fuentes de aprendizaje emprendedor. Este enfoque ha sido poco abordado en la literatura. El trabajo investigó el desempeño de un grupo de empresas de reciente creación, formadas por exempleados de EMN y su relación con el aprendizaje emprendedor en dichas empresas. El estudio se basó en una muestra de 175 exempleados de EMN en Costa Rica, que dejaron sus puestos de trabajo y formaron sus propias empresas entre los años 2001-2007. Se trabajó con un grupo de control de firmas formadas en los mismos sectores y lapsos pero por personas que no fueron empleadas de EIVVN. Hallamos una correlación positiva entre el aprendizaje emprendedor posterior a la creación de la empresa y el desempeño. No asi entre el aprendizaje emprendedor previo y el desempeño. No hallamos diferencias significativas entre emprendedores por haber tenido experiencia en EIVVN. Esto deja planteadas preguntas interesantes para futuros trabajos.A criação de novas empresas e importante para a economia.

O trabalho estudou o desempenho de um grupo de empresas criadas recentemente, formadas por antigos empregados de EIVVN e a sua relação com o aprendizado empresarial nessas empresas. O estudo se baseou em uma amostra de 175 antigos empregados de EIvVN na Costa Rica, que deixaram os seus empregos e conformaram as suas próprias empresas entre os anos 2001 e 2007. O trabalho foi realizado com um grupo de controle de empresas conformadas nos mesmos setores e tempos, mas por pessoas que não foram empregados de EIVVN. Encontramos uma correlação positiva entre o aprendizado empresarial anterior à criação da empresa e o desempenho. Não entre o aprendizado empresarial posterior e o desempenho. Não encontramos diferenças significativas entre empreendedores por ter tido experiência em EIVVN. Isto deixa algumas perguntas interessantes para futuros trabalhos.application/pdfspaUniversidad Nacional de Colombia - Sede Bogotá - Facultad de Ciencias Económicas - Escuela de Administración y Contaduría Públicahttps://revistas.unal.edu.co/index.php/innovar/article/view/47563Universidad Nacional de Colombia Revistas electrónicas UN Revista Innovar Journal Revista de Ciencias Administrativas y SocialesRevista Innovar Journal Revista de Ciencias Administrativas y SocialesLeiva, Juan Carlos and Alegre, Joaquín and Monge, Ricardo (2014) The Influence of Entrepreneurial Learning in New Firms' Performance: A Study in Costa Rica.
