Abstract

This paper offers a concise theoretical framework and a detailed analysis of innovative entrepreneurship, under the influence of three regional factors: strategic vision, entrepreneurial culture, and organizational flexibility. Research findings reveal a number of characteristics of innovative entrepreneurship, providing a solid knowledge base both at macro (for focusing public policies) and micro-level (for enhancing business plans). For a more conclusive approach, at macroeconomic level, the research aimed to assess the general features of all innovative start-ups and spin-offs funded in Romania with EU grants between 2007 and 2013, in correlation with the existing policies at national and regional level, and also with the implementation status of other structural funding programs.
