Abstract

Investigation of the determinants of entrepreneurship has been extensively pursued by academics in many disciplines. Two dominant but alternative approaches to understanding these determinants have been used. The first systematically studies individual entrepreneurs in an effort to identify characteristics or tendencies common to successful entrepreneurs. The second examines the role of various hypothesized structural attributes and conditions across regions in an effort to explain variation in levels of entrepreneurial activities. Both approaches reveal considerable insight into how and why entrepreneurial activities emerge, yet much remains unanswered as no study exists to confirm or refute the evidence pertaining to the manifestation of the psychological characteristics found at the individual-level at the meso or regional level.
