- Abstract
Objective: this research aimed to analyse the institutional framework that influences entrepreneurial intention (EI) in the department of Quindío, Colombia, taking into account the criteria of formal and informal institutions set out by the economist Douglass North. Method: a mixed and descriptive study was used, using a nonexperimental, transversal methodology. Information was obtained from fourteen public and private institutions, four experts and 201 masters students. Results: it was found that the formal institutional framework to support entrepreneurship does not envisage the linking of strategic efforts towards the establishment of a regional policy for the creation of enterprises. With regard to informal institutions, it was found that there is little initiative in complex situations and low tolerance for failure. Discussions: Therefore, the institutional policy to support entrepreneurship must have filters that allow for the optimization of the use of resources through the prioritization of initiatives that generate greater social and economic value, while at the same time promoting the development of entrepreneurial values in the population. Conclusions: The formal institutions that support entrepreneurship operate in a dispersed manner without a collaborative work scheme that promotes the achievement of common objectives to generate greater impacts. With regard to informal institutions, deficiencies in some business values can negatively influence EI.
