Abstract
The postgraduate studies give the opportunities to the graduates to develop skills and
abilities to discover new business opportunities and to star-up their own business. In this
paper we analyse the impact of postgraduate studies on the entrepreneurial activity
developed by MBA graduates. We find empirical support for the relevant role played by the
fact of belonging to a entrepreneurial culture family, individual personality characteristics
(non-risk averse, creativity, taking initiative, teamwork skills). The paper also analyse the
marginal gender effects that moderate the entrepreneurial activity intention. For this reseach a survey has been buit ad hoc for MBA itnernatioanl students of three Public Spanish
Universities’ Master on-line on Business Administration programme
