The Relationship of Structure to Entrepreneurial and Innovative Success
Abstract
Entrepreneurs and innovation go together like the proverbial horse and carriage. Entrepreneurs seek opportunities and innovations often provide the instrument for them to succeed. However, certain cultural and structural attributes are inherent within a society which can emphasize entrepreneurial activity and hence innovation. A set of negative structure attributes also exist which lead directly to a lessening of opportunities and numbers for would‐be entrepreneurs. This leads to fewer new ventures and hence less innovation. Examines structural elements and factors regarding whether or not these factors can result in being either stimulating or dampening entrepreneurial activity. Also provides a set of recommendations on what a society or locale can do to provide the positive structure needed to maintain or propel innovation and entrepreneurship.
