Abstract(s)
Este artigo pretende mostrar a importância do ensino
superior na promoção do empreendedorismo. Assim,
começa-se com uma análise teórica dos conceitos de
empreendedorismo e de empreendedor e dos principais
motivos que conduzem ao empreendedorismo, bem como dos
obstáculos que o dificultam. Salienta-se também a importância
que o ensino superior tem na promoção do empreendedorismo.
Faz-se, por fim, uma breve evolução histórica da educação
para o empreendedorismo no ensino superior e do que tem
sido feito em Portugal nesta área.
Em termos metodológicos, apresentam-se os
resultados de um estudo efetuado com 348 alunos do Pólo de
Viseu da Universidade Católica Portuguesa. Este estudo teve
como principal objetivo conhecer a propensão empreendedora
dos seus alunos. Os resultados obtidos neste estudo sugerem
que os alunos têm pouca tendência empreendedora, o que se
poderá dever aos receios e às dificuldades em desenvolver um
negócio próprio, assim como a alguns fatores que
condicionam a criação e o sucesso de uma empresa. Assim, é fundamental evidenciar a importância do empreendedorismo,
quer para os indivíduos, quer para a sociedade, e, por isso, é
indispensável fomentar a sua promoção, sobretudo junto da
comunidade escolar.

So, we start with a theoretical analysis of the concepts of entrepreneurship and entrepreneur and the main reasons that lead to entrepreneurship, such as the obstacles to it. Also highlight the importance that higher education has to promote entrepreneurship, and, finally, a brief historical development of entrepreneurship education in higher education and what has been done in this area in Portugal. In methodological terms, we present the results of a study conducted with 348 students from Viseu pole of the Portuguese Catholic University. This study aimed to know the entrepreneurial propensity of their students. The results of this study suggest that students have little entrepreneurial trend, which could be due to the fears and difficulties in developing their own business, as well as some factors that influence the creation and success of a company. Thus, it is crucial to highlight the importance of entrepreneurship, both for individuals and for society, and therefore it is essential to foster its promotion especially among the school community.
