Open publisher page 3 citations

Abstract

Entrepreneurship is seen as a very important part of a sustainable and long-term economic growth at all levels: individual, firm, regional, national and at the international level. During recent decades, a large number of studies have been conducted on various levels using different approaches, with the aim of developing a better understanding of the underlying mechanisms affecting entrepreneurship. Many terms have been generated, with the result that there are a variety of concepts within this field of research. However, there seems to be no common definition of entrepreneurship. This gap creates the need to analyze entrepreneur-ship in each specific context to understand: what entrepreneurship is, who the entrepreneur is, where entrepreneurship happens, why entrepreneurship is important, and how one can nurture entrepreneurship. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
