Resumen

Existe un interés creciente en los antecedentes de las aspiraciones de crecimiento ya que se ha demostrado que son importantes para el crecimiento empresarial. Este artículo examina el impacto directo del compromiso empresarial sobre las aspiraciones de crecimiento y el papel moderador de la percepcion de oportunidades. Sostenemos que las aspiraciones de crecimiento serán menores para aquellos emprendedores con mayor nivel de involucramiento, pero también sugerimos que su percepción de buenas oportunidades en el futuro inmediato incrementa sus aspiraciones de crecimiento. El entorno moderará positivamente esta relación. Usando datos del GEM para Colombia durante el período 2012-2016, encontramos apoyo a nuestras predicciones.
