Abstract

This article presents and analyzes the results, for Colombia, of a cross-cultural research study of entrepre­neurial intentions conducted between Gasse and Tremblay (2009) at the University of Laval in Canada and professors at Icesi University, based on a review of samples of students from Canada, France, Tunisia, and Colombia. In the case of Colombia, a review was conducted of the per­ceptions, values, and attitudes of undergraduate students taking man­datory and elective Entrepreneurship courses at Icesi University in the first semester of 2009. The results make it possible to evaluate the students’ behaviors in relation to the entre­preneurial process and provide the basis of conclusions relative to the educational process implemented at Icesi University.
