Abstract

Abstract: The main objective of this research work was to determine the intrinsic and extrinsic factors that condition entrepreneurial activity in the Santo Domingo canton. A quantitative method was applied, a questionnaire was used on a total of 200 enterprises of various economic activities. The results obtained indicate that among the most relevant factors, both intrinsic and extrinsic, are ignorance of the business, lack of financing, the amount of bureaucratic procedures, lack of appreciation of effort and low participation in continuous training. This research aims to be a source of information that contributes to specific strategies to improve the enterprises of the canton. It is proposed to consider continuous training in the definition of processes and guidelines, thus optimizing resources through adequate financial administration. In addition, it is suggested to look for new sources of financing to boost its growth and ensure its permanence over time.
