Opis

Entrepreneurship does not occur in a vacuum and institutions matter. As countries around the world strive for entrepreneurial led growth, this book considers whether institutional arrangements matter more than the institutions themselves. Through 12 case studies drawn from Asia, Europe and America the book examines how different institutional arrangements affect the nature, scope and scale of entrepreneurial activity. Each chapter highlights a how the prevailing formal and informal institutions both relate and interact has causes and consequences for the development of more entrepreneurial economies. By synthesizing empirical and theoretical insights the book explores how fostering more entrepreneurial economies is as much a question of institutional alignment as it is the creation of more entrepreneurial formal and informal institutions.
