Chapter Chapter 11 in New Business Creation, 2011, pp 295-334 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Business creation is a widespread and basic feature of all market economies. Contributions to job creation, new goods and services, a broader range of work opportunities, enhanced productivity, and economic growth benefit all nations and their citizens. The scope, importance, and contributions of business creation suggest there is considerable merit in understanding the major factors affecting the occurrence and outcomes of entrepreneurial activity. There is no question that personal, environmental, cultural, contextual, and institutional factors have an impact on major aspects of the business creation process. The challenge is in determining which factors have what types of impact at each stage of the business life course.
