Abstract

One of the focus in entrepreneurship studies may be associated with the process of creating and developing new businesses and their impact in economic growth. Many scholars and policymakers agree that entrepreneurship is significantly relevant to any society due to its positive effects on economic and technological development and in the creation of new jobs. From the perspective that entrepreneurship is part of the alternatives for directing one's career, this article aimed at verifying the influence of a graduate program on the student's decision to undertake as a career option. To achieve the proposed objective, an exploratory and qualitative research was carried out through a case study in a professional master's course in business administration in the city of São Paulo. The collected data were analyzed using the content
analysis technique. As main results, it is highlighted that infrastructure, faculty, mentoring, partnerships and exchanges of knowledge and ideas among students, as well as support and offer of contents focused on financial aspects and risk analysis, contribute positively, not only in the creation of a new business, but also in the establishment of a better structured company with strategic planning based on consistent analysis and methodologies.
