Entrepreneurship is the result of the
interaction and assimilation of different
social and environmental factors
Entrepreneurial Environment
Entrepreneurial Environment is a combination of factors that play a role in the development of entrepreneurship.
First, it refers to the overall economic, socio-cultural, and political factors that influence people’s willingness and ability to undertake entrepreneurial activities.
Second, it refers to the availability of assistance and support services that facilitate the start-up process.
The available literature on entrepreneurial
environments can be grouped into three
broad streams:
general environmental conditions for
entrepreneurship;
environmental conditions of a particular
country or region; and
the role of public policy in shaping the
entrepreneurial environments.
General Environmental
Conditions General environmental conditions that may
influence entrepreneurship include: legal and institutional frameworks for efficient
functioning of private enterprises
presence of experienced entrepreneurs and skilled labor force
accessibility of suppliers and customers or new markets
high degree of competition among firms
favorable government policies
provision of training and support services
supportive infrastructure
In addition, the literature suggests that the
characteristics of people, their skills,
experience, and motivation, play
important roles in new venture creation
Country/Region Specific
Environmental Conditions
Countries that keep rules and regulations at a minimum, offer tax and other incentives, and provide training and counselling services to start-up entrepreneurs increase the likelihood of new venture start-ups.
Furthermore, factors such as availability of financial resources, large size urban areas, and presence of universities for training and research are found to be very important to increase the rate of new venture creation
Studies also show that entrepreneurs face
several obstacles, such as lack of financial
assistance, lack of information on various
aspects of business, excessive taxation,
and high rate of inflation.
Role of Public Policy Scholars that focused on the role of public policy
suggest several policy options for developing entrepreneurship.
These policy options include provision of venture capital funds
tax-based incentives, and government procurement programs
protection of proprietary ideas and innovations
investment in education and research
explicit recognition of, and support for, entrepreneurship by government agencies
fostering of entrepreneurship by educational institutions
and minimization of entry barriers.

Role of Infrastructural Network
Most commercial operations such as venture capital firms and commercial banks tend to exhibit greater interest in concentrated, urban areas that usually have a well-developed infrastructure and concentrated demand for funds
They also favour areas where businesses are easier to supervise and monitor and the cost of supervising and monitoring loans is relatively low
