The Investigation of the Relation between Entrepreneurship and Globalization, Government, Market Structure, and Market Resources (Case Study in the Tourism Industry of Iran)

Abstract

Nowadays, the entrepreneurship area comprehends a broad range of theories and approaches and has been studied in many ways and with different purposes. Authors from all fields of social sciences – economics, sociology, anthropology, psychology , history, politics and several other areas of business sciences – have given contributions to this area. Thus, the entrepreneurship field of research that is still in notorious development, is considered interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary (Davidsson, 1989).Despite the popularity and relevance that the subject has demonstrated, there is no acceptable universal theory that defines with precision the field of intervention on entrepr eneurship, establishing its origin on the crosswise of a set of approaches proceeding from other areas of knowledge (Virtanen, 1997).This study uses the data from tourism to explain how the process generates entrepreneurship in Iran. The process contains data taken from external and internal factors related to globalization, government, market structure, an d market resources. This study will describe in detail the influence and relationship of each factor. Furthermore, tourism has become a very common topic of discussion in Iran promoting it is a core policy practiced in recent years by the government. The process of entrepreneurship has encouragingly promoted the development of tourism, as well created an entrepreneurial society in Iran.
