MUGNO-NORIEGA, Ana Elena; PEREZ-PAREDES, Alfredo  e  LANDAZURY-VILLALBA, Luís Fernando. University entrepreneurial potential: a comparative study between Barranquilla, Colombia and Puebla, Mexico. Koinonía [online]. 2024, vol.9, n.18, pp.178-201.  Epub 15-Nov-2024. ISSN 2542-3088.  https://doi.org/10.35381/r.k.v9i18.4224.

The objective of this study was to analyze the evolution of the potential, competencies and behaviors of entrepreneurs during their university professional training. The methodology was mixed longitudinal. A sample of 237 students was followed for three years in three universities belonging to the city of Barranquilla- Colombia and Puebla-Mexico with annual quantitative measurement through surveys and qualitative measurement through interviews. The results indicated that self-efficacy for entrepreneurship was reinforced over time in both sexes. After the third year, only 32% of the men and 18.9% of the women had completed a business creation initiative. We conclude that university education has played an ambivalent role in reinforcing some entrepreneurial competencies, but significantly moderating initial entrepreneurial dreams.
