| Summary: | Entrepreneurship is the cornerstone of a modern competitive economy. Because of the
economic and social importance attributed to entrepreneurship, every country has adopted
policies aiming to encourage and to support entrepreneurial attitudes and behaviors. Despite
the fact that the set of public policy measures is very similar across countries and regions,
the outcomes are different. The differences can be observed not only in quantitative terms
(i.e. number of newly established ventures), but also in qualitative terms (i.e. proportion of
innovative firms, intensity of knowledge and technological level, degree of
internationalization etc.). Indeed, entrepreneurship takes different forms ranging from an
alternative to employment (self-employed) to creation of innovative, competitive and fast
growing enterprises. It is also recognized the corporate entrepreneurship, the social
entrepreneurship and even the entrepreneurship in the public sector. Different forms of
entrepreneurship have a different impact in terms of general progress. Scholars have shown
that context is an important factor explaining the variability of entrepreneurship outcomes,
calling for a better understanding of the business environment influence on the intensity and
quality of the entrepreneurial activity. |
