Empreender por oportunidade x empreender por necessidade

The results presented in the report of the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) for 2007 legitimize entrepreneurial inclination of Brazilians. The GEM is a very comprehensive international report on the enterprise activity in a large number of countries in the world, which is prepared jointly by London Business School, Babson College, Kauffman Center for Entrepreneurial Leadership and the Brazilian Institute of Quality and Productivity (IBQP), SEBRAE and IEL in Brazil. However, the 7.5 million Brazilians that they undertake, 41.6% donot do it voluntarily, but because of necessity. Unlike the entrepreneur who explores new opportunities, high-tech search and international markets, the need for entrepreneurship does not create the necessary conditions to the sustainable growth and the generation of effective national wealth.
