摘要

In an increasingly complex world, exploring alternatives for generating and developing proposals to address social problems is necessary, mainly because models such as philanthropy and altruism are not sustainable. This article presents a comparative analysis of the perceived achievement of social entrepreneurship competency among students attending two private universities, one in Mexico and the other in Chile, after an ideation of entrepreneurial projects. The total population comprised 51 students: 28 from Tecnologico de Monterrey, Mexico, and 23 from Universidad Concepcion de Chile. The gender distribution was 24 men and 27 women; the average age was 21. The results showed that students from Universidad Concepcion de Chile excelled in the sub-competencies of control and social value, while Tecnologico de Monterrey students excelled in leadership, social innovation, and financial sustainability. The only statistically significant difference was in the social value and social awareness sub-competency, with a higher mean attained by students at Universidad de Concepcion de Chile. The study's findings have significant implications for entrepreneurial practice and research, showing that relevant environmental factors can modify students' perceptions regarding innovative actions. Although these results are not exhaustive, they have intriguing value for the design of future studies on this topic.
