Resumen

Esta investigación propone un modelo teórico sobre el fenómeno de emprendedores zombis, quienes identifican oportunidades de negocio, con éxito en etapas tempranas de incubación y financiamiento, pero que tienen dificultad para establecer empresa a largo plazo. En esta investigación, se analizó la correlación de la percepción de oportunidad, intención emprendedora, actividad emprendedora y empresas establecidas del Global Entrepreneurship Monitor y del Programa Capital Semilla en Chile. Los resultados indicaron las siguientes asociaciones: intención emprendedora y actividad emprendedora; percepción de oportunidad y actividad emprendedora; intención emprendedora y empresas establecidas; empresas establecidas y actividad emprendedora. Además, se identificó que el apoyo a los mentores, la calidad de la idea de emprendimiento y la experiencia del fundador tienen una asociación inversa con el fenómeno del emprendedor zombi.
