La formación de los emprendedores y sus consecuencias sobre la innovación y el éxito empresarial 1 Training of entrepreneurs and their consequences on innovation and business success

We use the planned behavioural theory to valuate the influence of training programs on innovation and business success. Additionally, we measure the effect of personality and experience of the individual on innovation and business success. In this paper, we propose to study what type of training is most appropriate in order to rein- force such a capacity.To achieve this objective, we used a sample of 354 entrepreneurs from Castile and Leon.The results obtained lead us to recommend that the training centres and the institutions which manage them should gi- ve preference to specific entrepreneurial training -and not as much to general training in business aspects- when they wish to strengthen the innovating spirit of the entrepreneurs.
