Abstract
La preocupación por el emprendimiento y su relación con la salida de la
crisis económica está presente en la mayoría de los discursos de los responsables
políticos de Europa y hay un amplio consenso en que las iniciativas emprendedoras
de calidad, su desarrollo y consolidación, están estrechamente
relacionadas con la salida de la crisis, el crecimiento económico y la creación
de empleo. Sin embargo, estos planteamientos no tienen suficientemente en
consideración las diferencias territoriales en Europa.
En esta investigación se ofrece una serie de evidencias del fenómeno emprendedor
desde la perspectiva territorial norte-sur de Europa y se plantea
que la convergencia europea no se está produciendo en esta materia. La información
de las dos zonas geográficas europeas contempladas, los países
Nórdicos (Dinamarca, Finlandia, Islandia, Noruega y Suecia) y los países Mediterráneos
(España, Grecia, Italia y Portugal) ha sido extraída del observatorio
Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM).
The concern about entrepreneurship and its relationship as a way of overcoming the current economic crisis is present in most of the political leaders’ speeches from Europe. Indeed, there is a broad consensus that quality entrepreneurial initiative, development and consolidation, are closely related with economic growth and job creation. However, these approaches fail to accurately take into account the regional differences in Europe. This research takes a look at the entrepreneurial phenomenon from the territorial perspective and provides some evidences on European convergence to be raised. The information covered in the two European geographical areas: The Nordic countries (Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Denmark) and the Mediterranean countries (Portugal Spain, Greece and Italy), has been generated from the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM).
