On the other hand, academic burnout is a factor that negatively influences academic performance. Likewise, burnout represents a mediating variable between internet addiction and academic performance.This research analyzed the academic performance explained through burnout and internet addiction of business administration students in Mexico, considered as some of the main factors that indicate the development of the skills in new business owners, entrepreneurs, as well as business managers at different levels and sectors.The academic performance of business management students is one of the main factors that will allow them to develop skills and abilities to create new economic entities through their entrepreneurship.These problems are relevant and of great value because, in the literature, there is no sufficient investigation to analyze the academic loss and internet addiction from a new perspective that affects the academic performance of business management students.
