Resumo: | The author arrived in Brazil in the late 70’s and found extreme poverty in the shantytowns and one of the worst income distribution between the rich and the poor in the world. Invited to give classes at the FGV, he started in 1980 teaching entrepreneurship with the objective of incentivizing the students to become entrepreneurs and so promote economic growth to reduce poverty and income inequality. Returning to the country in 2008 the author makes a reflexion on the reasons why these objectives where not reached in spite of the entrepreneurial activity in Latin America is greater than in the US. The explanation lies in the motivation of the entrepreneurial activity. The opportunity entrepreneurship has a significantly greater impact on the economic growth of a country than the necessity entrepreneurship. Generally the economic growth of a low income country is inversely proportional to its necessity entrepreneurial activity and the economic growth of a high income country is directly proportional to its opportunity entrepreneurial activity. Brazil and Colombia have only 55% of their entrepreneurial activity motivated by opportunity with contrasts with the 80% in the US, according to the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) research. The solution proposed by the author is that the technical schools and universities should restructure their entrepreneurship courses that have not met their objectives of economic growth and incentivize opportunity entrepreneurship oriented toward sustainable development and poverty reduction and necessity entrepreneurship to eliminate extreme poverty. |

Entrepreneurship: a philosophy for sustainable development and poverty reductionEmpreendedorismo: uma filosofia para o desenvolvimento sustentável e a redução da pobrezaThe author arrived in Brazil in the late 70’s and found extreme poverty in the shantytowns and one of the worst income distribution between the rich and the poor in the world. Invited to give classes at the FGV, he started in 1980 teaching entrepreneurship with the objective of incentivizing the students to become entrepreneurs and so promote economic growth to reduce poverty and income inequality. Returning to the country in 2008 the author makes a reflexion on the reasons why these objectives where not reached in spite of the entrepreneurial activity in Latin America is greater than in the US. The explanation lies in the motivation of the entrepreneurial activity. The opportunity entrepreneurship has a significantly greater impact on the economic growth of a country than the necessity entrepreneurship. Generally the economic growth of a low income country is inversely proportional to its necessity entrepreneurial activity and the economic growth of a high income country is directly proportional to its opportunity entrepreneurial activity. Brazil and Colombia have only 55% of their entrepreneurial activity motivated by opportunity with contrasts with the 80% in the US, according to the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) research. The solution proposed by the author is that the technical schools and universities should restructure their entrepreneurship courses that have not met their objectives of economic growth and incentivize opportunity entrepreneurship oriented toward sustainable development and poverty reduction and necessity entrepreneurship to eliminate extreme poverty.O autor chegou ao Brasil nos anos 70 e encontrou pobreza extrema nas favelas e uma das maiores desigualdades de renda entre ricos e pobres do mundo. Convidado a dar aula na FGV, iniciou em 1980 o ensino do empreendedorismo com o objetivo de incentivar os alunos a empreender e assim promover o crescimento econômico para reduzir a pobreza e a desigualdade de renda. Retornando ao país em 2008 o autor faz uma reflexão das razões porque esses objetivos não foram alcançados apesar da atividade empreendedora na America Latina ser maior do que a de países como os EUA. A explicação está na motivação da atividade empreendedora. O empreendedorismo por oportunidade tem um significante maior impacto sobre o crescimento econômico de um país do que o empreendedorismo por necessidade. Geralmente, o crescimento econômico de um país de baixa renda é inversamente proporcional a sua atividade empreendedora por necessidade e o crescimento econômico de um país de alta renda é diretamente proporcional a sua atividade empreendedora por oportunidade. O Brasil e a Colômbia têm somente 55% da atividade empreendedora motivada por oportunidades, enquanto que os EUA têm 80%, conforme mostra pesquisa do Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM). A solução proposta pelo autor é as escolas técnicas e as universidades reestruturarem os seus cursos de empreendedorismo, que não atingiram o seu objetivo de promover o crescimento econômico, e incentivar mais o empreendedorismo por oportunidade orientado para o desenvolvimento sustentável e a redução da pobreza e o empreendedorismo por necessidade para eliminar a pobreza extrema.Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina2008-11-03info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/adm/article/view/2175-8069.2008v10n21p1110.5007/2175-8069.2008v10n21p11Revista de Ciências da Administração; V. 10, n. 21, maio/agosto de 2008; 11-302175-80771516-3865reponame:Revista de Ciências da Administraçãoinstname:Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)instacron:UFSCporhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/adm/article/view/2175-8069.2008v10n21p11/12663Degen, Ronald Jeaninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2022-11-21T14:12:50Zoai:periodicos.ufsc.br:article/7869Revistahttp://www.periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/admPUBhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/adm/oairevista@cse.ufsc.br||mfpcris@gmail.com||rca.cse@contato.ufsc.br2175-80771516-3865opendoar:2022-11-21T14:12:50Revista de Ciências da Administração - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)false |
