Educação empreendedora: uma proposta de conteúdos de finanças em cursos de graduação

Abstract

The objective of this study is to propose a typology of Finance content focused on entrepreneurial training in undergraduate courses. It is an exploratory research with qualitative data collection and the use of the Delphi technique, applied in two rounds with the participation of 27 specialists from the areas of Entrepreneurship and Finance. Among the findings, it was identified in order of relevance that the topics (i) Working capital, (ii) Management and projection of cash flows, (iii) Behavioral finance, (iv) Personal finance and entrepreneurship, (v) Risk management and (vi) Microcredit are among the most relevant contents for entrepreneurship training in Finance. The results of the research allow the following reflections: (i) the two most well-positioned contents in this study are also topics present in the literature and papers on the subject, (ii) the inclusion of new topics in the research exposed the relevance of contents until then still little explored, contributing with new perspectives and possibilities of studies on the subject. The findings of this study generate concrete recommendations for undergraduate-level Finance education programs. It is expected that this work will contribute by bringing to light a description of the current context of Finance education for entrepreneurship training and to provide educational institutions and professors a support to become more effective in teaching Finance for entrepreneurship training.
