Capacitación para el emprendimiento agrícola: un análisis bibliométrico

Abstract

El emprendimiento agrícola es uno de los factores que influyen en la creación de empleo, el ingreso económico y la competitividad del sector agrícola. Debido a la relevancia del tema es importante explorar la literatura de los últimos años e identificar las habilidades empresariales que los agricultores pueden desarrollar mediante capacitación para el éxito de sus iniciativas empresariales. El objetivo de este trabajo es presentar un análisis bibliométrico para medir la producción científica y revelar temas de capacitación para el emprendimiento agrícola. La búsqueda de información se efectuó en la base de datos de Scopus y Web of Science en el periodo 2010-2020. La delimitación de los grupos temáticos se logró mediante VOSviewer, con base en la técnica bibliométrica de coocurrencia de términos. Se encontró que los artículos publicados incrementaron en los últimos años y se identificaron cuatro grupos temáticos sobre el desarrollo de habilidades empresariales agrícolas. Los hallazgos de esta investigación pueden emplearse para el diseño de cursos de capacitación o pueden orientar al diseño de políticas públicas que fortalezcan el sector agrícola.

Evaluation of the Entrepreneurial Ability of Small-Scale Farmers through the Rasch–Andrich Model

“…The data were collected through a survey, a social research technique designed in this research to collect information from the actors about the productive unit and entrepreneurial skills. As this research is part of a broader project, the survey arose from a bibliometric analysis [12] of the importance of training for agricultural entrepreneurship and from there the need to know the entrepreneurial skills. This instrument considered 17 items (Table 1) with a Likert scale of five categories: very low (0), low (1), regular (2), high (3), and very high (4).…”

“…Detecting the entrepreneurial ability of small-scale farmers allows locating the knowledge they use to achieve their economic goals [2] and identifying their weaknesses to design training that will allow them to prosper in agriculture [12]. In a literature review by Dias et al [7], in which they compared publications between 1969 and 2012, as opposed to 2013-2017, they noted that most of the literature on entrepreneurship concentrated on services, manufacturing, and high technology; however, little was published on entrepreneurial skills in underdeveloped regions where agricultural activity is prevalent.…”

“…This model has been used to calibrate scales, instruments, and tests to verify their validity and reliability for the construction of measurements in various areas such as education, the health sciences, and the social sciences [25][26][27][28][29]. However, no studies were found in which this model was applied to verify the validity and reliability of scales, tests, or instruments aimed at measuring the entrepreneurial skills of small-scale farmers [12].…”
