ENTREPRENEURIAL INTENTION AND CULTURAL DIMENSIONS IN STUDENTS OF THE MASTER OF ADMINISTRATION IN COLOMBIA. Tend. [online]. 2021, vol.22, n.1, pp.120-144.

The purpose of this paper is to establish the dependence between entrepreneurial intent and the cultural dimensions of MBA students in Colombia. The research has exploratory character, quantitative focus and correlational scope; 485 valid surveys were collected in 36 MBA presential programs in 14 cities. The theoretical reference is the cultural dimensions of Hofstede, while taking two additional variables: the ease of doing business and the valuation of the entrepreneurial environment of the General Entrepreneurship Monitor. Conclusions indicate that Hofstede's dimensions do not explain the entrepreneurial intent of MBA students in Colombia, while it is estimated that inhabitants of low GDP cities assume that entrepreneurial activity is associative and that social and cultural norms in Colombia play a seemingly neutral role on such entrepreneurial intent.
