Resumen
El emprendimiento puede ayudar a solucionar algunos problemas de la sociedad actual; en las áreas rurales podría influenciar positivamente la economía, generar empleo, frenar la despoblación y dinamizar estos espacios. Sin embargo, el entorno donde se lleve a cabo puede condicionarlo. El objetivo de este trabajo fue identificar y analizar las condiciones del entorno emprendedor (EFCS) que impulsaron o dificultaron el emprendimiento rural en Extremadura durante el período 2003 - 2012. La investigación realizada fue descriptiva; la información utilizada provino de la encuesta a expertos en el entorno para emprender del proyecto Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) Extremadura. Los resultados permiten observar que el acceso a la infraestructura física, el apoyo a la mujer y la innovación, fueron las condiciones que impulsaron el emprendimiento; por su parte, la educación, las habilidades y el apoyo financiero, al parecer obstaculizaron la aparición de nuevas empresas en Extremadura.
Entrepreneurship can help to solve some problems of current’s society; in rural areas it could influence economy positively, generate employment, curb depopulation and stimulate these spaces. However, the environment in which it will take place can condition it. The aim of this paper was to identify and analyze the Entrepreneurial Framework Conditions (EFCs) that drove or hinder rural entrepreneurship in Extremadura during 2003 – 2012 period. The research was descriptive; the information used came from of experts in the environment to undertake survey of the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) Extremadura Project. The results allow us to observe that access to physical infrastructure, women’s support and innovation, were the conditions that drove the entrepreneurship; in the other side education, skills and financial support, apparently hindered the new businesses creation in Extremadura.
