O ecossistema empreendedor brasileiro: à luz da metodologia global entrepreneurship index

Abstract

Measuring the degree of entrepreneurship in a given country is an arduous task, because besides knowing the enterprises allocated in the region, it is necessary to consider bureaucratic, cultural, technological issues and aspects related to innovation. Thus, the present study aimed to analyze the Brazilian entrepreneurial ecosystem from the Global Entrepreneurship Index methodology. The research consisted in making a comparison between Brazil and the other BRICS member countries, through graphical representation of the 14 pillars and the general index of entrepreneurship; identify the bottleneck of the Brazilian entrepreneurial ecosystem, among the pillars that contemplate the methodology; and finally to diagnose both the individual variable and the constitutional variable of the pillar that proved to be less expressive, thus analyzed descriptively. As a result, the research showed that Brazil has an entrepreneurial ecosystem considered underperforming when compared to other BRICS countries. Since the main bottleneck in Brazil's entrepreneurial ecosystem is the Internationalization pillar that showed a 3.7% score. Thus, the verification of the institutional variable Economic complexity showed that Brazil has low economic complexity in its export agenda, mainly because it sells products that have low added value and low invested technology. And the individual variable Export revealed that few start-ups export their goods or services, attesting that they have obstacles that lead to non-commercialization to the foreign market.
