THE INFLUENCE OF TECHNOLOGY READINESS INDEX IN ENTREPRENEURIAL ORIENTATION: A STUDY WITH BRAZILIAN ENTREPRENEURS IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA/INFLUENCIA DO TECHNOLOGY READINESS INDEX NA ORIENTACAO EMPREENDEDORA: UM ESTUDO COM EMPREENDEDORES BRASILEIROS NOS ESTADOS UNIDOS
This research has aimed to analyze the influence of the Technology Readiness Index (TRI) in the entrepreneurial orientation (EO) for Brazilian small-business men who have settled in the United States of America. The exploratory research or quantitative survey was based on a structural equation modeling, using SmartPLS (SEM-PLS). The sample was comprised of 107 Brazilian small-entrepreneurs who live in the United States. The results indicate the predominance of inducing technology factors in dimensions of optimism and innovativeness to the TRI, which suggests making use of new technologies. By excluding the dimensions of discomfort and insecurity on the TRI, it was revealed entrepreneurs feel more comfortable with technology and do not feel uncomfortable or insecure about using them. Regarding the entrepreneurial orientation, it was possible to perceive dimensions of risk propensity, proactive approach and innovativeness among those who participated in the survey. Concerning the relationship of both constructs, the TRI and the OE, the structural model has shown good fitting of 36%, which means the TRI explains the EO in 13%. In outline, it is to say the TRI fairly influences the entrepreneurial orientation of those Brazilian small-business men analyzed.

A capitalist in North Korea : my seven years in the hermit kingdom
Business in North Korea: a paradoxical and fascinating situation is interpreted by a true insider. In 2002, the Swiss power company ABB appointed Felix Abt its country director for North Korea. The Swiss entrepreneur lived and worked in North Korea for seven years, one of the few foreign businessmen there. After the experience, Abt felt compelled to write 'A capitalist in North Korea' to describe the multifaceted society he encountered. North Korea, at the time, was heavily sanctioned by the UN, which made it extremely difficult to do business. Yet, he discovered that it was a place where plastic surgery and South Korean TV dramas were wildly popular and where he rarely needed to walk more than a block to grab a quick hamburger. He was closely monitored, and once faced accusations of spying, yet he learned that young North Koreans are hopeful--signing up for business courses in anticipation of a brighter, more open, future. In 'A capitalist in North Korea', Abt shares these and many other unusual facts and insights about one of the world's most secretive nations.

Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo analisar a influencia do Technology Readiness Index (TRI) na orientacao empreendedora (OE) para os pequenos empresarios brasileiros que se fixaram nos Estados Unidos. A pesquisa exploratoria de levantamento ou survey de carater quantitativo utilizou a modelagem de equacoes estruturais com auxilio do SmartPLS (SEM-PLS). A amostra compreende 107 pequenos empresarios brasileiros que se encontram nos Estados Unidos. Os resultados indicam a predominancia dos fatores indutores de tecnologia nas dimensoes de otimismo e inovatividade para o TRI, estes achados apontam a adocao de novas tecnologias. A exclusao das dimensoes de desconforto e inseguranca na TRI revelam que os empreendedores se sentem confortaveis com a tecnologia e nao sentem desconforto ou inseguranca com a sua utilizacao. Em relacao a orientacao empreendedora, observou-se a presenca das dimensoes de propensao ao risco, pro-atividade e inovatividade entre os pesquisados. Quanto ao relacionamento dos dois constructos de TRI e OE, o modelo estrutural apresentou um bom ajuste que foi da ordem de 36%, infere-se que a TRI explica em 13% a OE. Em linhas gerais, o TRI influencia de maneira mediana a orientacao empreendedora dos pequenos empresarios brasileiros analisados. Palavras-chave: Technology Readiness Index; Orientacao Empreendedora; Pequenos Empreendedoras Brasileiros.
