Authors: Hugo Kantis

Abstract: Most of the research of entrepreneurship is based in empirical evidence obtained in developed countries. In Latin America, this field of research is less advanced and the available information is not comparable with other regions. In the last years GEM projects (GEM, 2002, 2003) have provided information about entrepreneurship in some Latin American countries. Despite the contribution made by GEM to understand entrepreneurship in general, the emergence of dynamic ventures, particularly in less developed countries, is an important issue deserving further efforts.

Keywords: dynamic ventures; venture creation; Latin America; East Asia; Italy; Spain; entrepreneurship.
