SIMON MOYA, VIRGINIA; REVUELTO TABOADA, LORENZO  e  MEDINA LORZA, AIDA FLORENCIA. The influence of education, experience, and entrepreneurial motivation on the survival of start-up companies. estud.gerenc. [online]. 2012, vol.28, n.spe, pp.237-262. ISSN 0123-5923.

This article analyzes the difference on the rates of survival between social entrepreneurship and business entrepreneurship and the effect of education, experience, and entrepreneurial motivation on survival. Given the nature of the dependent variables, the Pearson's test, the Mann-Whitney's test for two independent samples, and the logit model were applied to a sample consisting of 2,175 companies. The results didn't show significant differences in the likelihood of survival between these two kinds of entrepreneurship, but they seem to provide evidence of significant differences in the influence of independent variables on survival.

Palavras-chave : Social entrepreneurship; business entrepreneurship; survival.
