Abstract

The relationship between migration and entrepreneurship is established andconsolidated in the context of nearshoring. In this sense, this work aimed to contrast the theory with an observable model. A cross-sectional, correlational, and psychometric study was conducted with 100 students selected for their institution's commitment to forming intellectual and entrepreneurial capital. The results confirm a three-dimensional structure related to migration, entrepreneurship, and nearshoring. About the state of the art where opportunism is highlighted as a factor of innovation, this work warns of the prevalence of the dimension related to nearshoring as a factor that explains the highest percentage of explained variance.
