Purpose -To establish the extent of the influence of variables which, under a particular style of leadership, form the necessary basis for encouraging and developing group, entrepreneurial activities carried out within the context of small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) thus explaining the transmission of the entrepreneurial spirit to the work team and, consequently, the existence of collective entrepreneurship in the firm. Design/methodology/approach -From the results of a questionnaire carried out via personal interviews with over 100 firms, a confirmatory factorial analysis was carried out that provided us with the variables to be studied. The cause/effect relationships and their implications were obtained from applying a LISREL8 analysis. Findings -A leadership based on relationships shows a positive impact, with an intensity of more than double that of participative leadership. A task-oriented leadership style reduces the chances of transmitting the entrepreneurial spirit to the work team by having a negative influence on the generation of collective entrepreneurship in the firm.Research limitations/implications -The models contain the relations of "causality" between these latent variables, assuming that the variables observed therein are indicators or symptoms of those other variables. This could be considered as a limitation to our analysis as the study of covariance.Practical implications -The model has important applications for the process of incorporating new CEOs into the organization. Originality/value -This paper presents confirmation of the need for aspects traditionally associated with the figure of the entrepreneur to be transmitted to the organization's collective as a whole and for the existence of collective entrepreneurship: an area of management that has thus far received relatively little attention and which could have important practical implications.

Se han hecho innumerables pruebas para constatar que la creatividad es una habilidad crítica para los emprendedores y su formación emprendedora (Schmidt, J. et al. 2012), incluso se ha detectado que la práctica sobre el pensamiento divergente incrementa las habilidades emprendedoras de los estudiantes para generar un mayor número y rango de ideas, pero NO así, sus enfoques para la resolución creativa de problemas. Nuestro objetivo será mostrar que el emprendimiento es una faceta de la creatividad y que, el emprendedor "oculto" en el discente, necesitará observar y confirmar la existencia de condicionantes externos suficientes, para liberar su actitud emprendedora retenida, asimismo, será imprescindible la adopción, por parte del docente de una actitud innovadora que facilite un contexto propicio para que el alumno muestre comportamientos asociados con actitudes emprendedoras. Tras nuestro estudio, constatamos que la implementación de una actitud innovadora docente contribuye a facilitar la transmisión del espíritu emprendedor y a mejorar la gestión del gen-preneur en el aula.Keywords: educación; comunicación del conocimiento; clase; emprendimiento; organización del conocimiento; creatividad; gen; formación.There have been countless tests made to confirm that creativity is a critical skill for entrepreneurs and their entrepreneurial training (Schmidt, J. et al. 2012), even more, practices on divergent thinking increases the entrepreneurial skills of students to generate a greater number and range of ideas, but not, their approaches to solve problems in a creative way. Our goal is to show that entrepreneurship is a facet of creativity and that the "hidden" entrepreneur in the learner, will need to observe and confirm the existence of sufficient external constraints -context and social network-to release its entrepreneurial attitude, furthermore it will be essential, that teachers adopt an innovative approach that enables a suitable context, in this way almost intuitively, and vocational -show student behaviors associated with entrepreneurial attitudes. In our study, we found out that the implementation of an innovative teaching contributes to facilitate the transmission of the entrepreneurial spirit and improves the use of gen-preneur in class.

In this paper, we rely on the Spanish GEM Project to analyze the basic conditions that shape the profiles of the Spanish regional entrepreneurial ecosystem and to configure which aspects are given and which should be met in order for that ecosystem to be considered as a tool to support entrepreneurship and not just a wasteland. Although some media are incorporated, the nutrients needed for germination are not included.

Nuestro trabajo se enmarca dentro del proceso de describir, analizar y explorar el Modelo de Incubación y Transferencia de Tecnología de la Universitat de València hacia la sociedad valenciana, con el objetivo de hallar puntos de anclaje para iniciativas, incluso de mejora de los servicios y procedimientos definidos y propuestos por la propia Universidad. La Universitat de València, en su plan estratégico 2016-2019, se define como “una universidad que fomenta la investigación, tanto básica como aplicada, y el desarrollo científico y tecnológico”. En concreto, en el apartado de transferencia, su objetivo es “poner en valor los resultados de la investigación”. Para ello ha desarrollado un ecosistema que aglutina toda una serie de servicios, medios y recursos que pugnan por captar, generar y gestionar el talento y el conocimiento universitario disponible para ver quién es y cómo lo hace, y es capaz de transferir más resultados de la investigación generada en forma de productos, servicios, procesos, innovaciones tecnológicas, etc., en los distintos ámbitos de aplicación sectorial. Nuestro trabajo concluye con un comentario crítico donde se enfatiza la necesidad de equilibrar el ecosistema generado, compensándolo hacia el establecimiento del factor financiero, y se argumenta la necesidad de encontrar “nuevas” formas a implementar en el proceso de transferencia, con el fin de generar realmente un flujo efectivo hacia las empresas.
