Abstract

This article aims to show the evolution of factors that influence corporate entrepreneurship through the analysis of variables (eg. entrepreneurial activity, perceived opportunity and perceived capacity) that interfere in the process of innovation and entrepreneurship in Brazil. In order to do so, the factors influencing the innovation process and corporate entrepreneurship were identified in the literature, the relationship between these factors was described. Then, based on data collected by the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM), the factors which determine the national levels of entrepreneurial activity were defined; variables related to innovation were determined; the variables in the period from 2001 to 2015 were presented; and finally, the variables were related to the influence factors. The main results demonstrate relations between factors such as perception of opportunities and capacities, aspirations of growth and innovation, perceived capacity and leadership. They also present the relation between some factors that influence business development and the innovation process in Brazil.
