Measuring determinants of entrepreneurship development in Iran

Abstract

Entrepreneurship research has shown that environmental factors, such as cultural, social, legal, political and technological factors, have negative or positive impacts on entrepreneurship development conditions [9, 3]. An unfavorable environment for entrepreneurship often leads to the growth of underground economy. However, improvements in factors affecting entrepreneurship have a positive effect on entrepreneurship development in many countries [2]. Therefore, entrepreneurship development causes the economy to be flourished. The analysis of data collected from industry section indicated that the determinants of entrepreneurship in Iran need to be improved. Finally, some implications are provided to improve these determinants.
