Towards a Latin American diagnosis for company's creation with the implementation of the 2006 GEM model

Abstract

This research focused on Latin-American countries belonging to the GEM,
(the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor), a research organization. The principal
objective of this research is to correlate the main database contents in order to obtain
empirical evidence about the variables affecting the level of entrepreneurial activity
in the region during 2006. The analysis of data and reports serve as groundwork
to calculate the main indicator, the TEA (total entrepreneurship activity) of the
Latin-American region. This study is guided only to elaborate an initial diagnosis
for Latin-America through the GEM model. The results and conclusions allow
to appreciate the present and future weaknesses and strengths of the region for the
years of 2006 through 2030.
