Chapter Chapter 1 in Global Entrepreneurship and Development Index 2014, 2015, pp 1-11 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract After 6 years, the world has begun to put the global recession of 2009 behind it: while some parts of the world have pushed through the recession and returned to economic health, others have yet to emerge from massive debt and lackluster growth. Entrepreneurship plays an important role in both dynamics, as gradual recovery brings strategic opportunities for growth. In China, for example, entrepreneurs can help reduce economic dependency on infrastructural investment by catalyzing consumer demand. In country such as Greece, however, where the uncertainty of a lagging recovery dampens the confidence of business, entrepreneurs are having a more difficult time helping to turn the economy around.
