Abstract: Abstract Policymakers and academics consider entrepreneurship as a source of economic and social development. As an economic and social phenomenon, entrepreneurship is embedded within social rules and norms that impact its developments and features. Drawing on institutional theory (North, 1990; Scott, 1995), we assume that the entrepreneurial process is sensitive to social, economic, and political environmental factors that shape the process via opportunities and constraints impacting different groups to different extents.
