An investigation by the professor José Ernesto Amorós, National Director of Doctoral Programs at EGADE Business School - Tecnológico de Monterrey, was included in a collection of articles published in the prestigious scholarly journal Entrepreneurship Theory and Practice (ETP), and formulated in response to the COVID-19 situation.
The compilation in the world-leading journal on entrepreneurship, which seeks to provide perspectives for overcoming the challenges resulting from the pandemic, is divided into four key topics.
The investigation, signed by Dr. Amorós as the lead author and titled Necessity or Opportunity? The Effects of State Fragility and Economic Development on Entrepreneurial Efforts, heads the section called Entrepreneurs' Persistence in Crisis Situations.
The article was coauthored with Luciano Ciravegna (INCAE Business School), Vesna Mandakovic (UDD School of Business and Economics) and Pekka Stenholm (Turku School of Economics), and published online in 2017.
The researchers study how different types of entrepreneurship develop depending on the characteristic institutional “fragility” of many Latin American countries, using multi-level regression methods that combine contextual variables with individual data from the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor.
“This joint work is one of the most influential publications in Entrepreneurship Theory and Practice, given the themes of crises and COVID-19. Although our article does not address the pandemic, it does deal with relevant topics related to the quality of institutions. ETP is the top journal for entrepreneurship and has the third highest impact in relation to management, according to the latest JCR impact factor,” commented Dr. Amorós.
The professor also serves as the leader of the Entrepreneurship and Innovation Strategic Focus Research Group (GIEE) at Tec de Monterrey and was recently appointed director of the Central America and Mexico Chapter of the Aspen Network of Development Entrepreneurs.
