by Jun Ma; Zelimir William Todorovic
International Journal of Entrepreneurship and Small Business (IJESB), Vol. 16, No. 3, 2012

Abstract: Today's global social-political environment leads many to elevate entrepreneurship as a vehicle facilitating economic development. Even though different regions have similar new firm formation rates, there is much variation in terms of the contribution to economic development. Building on the resource based-view and Hofestede's research on cultural dimensions, this paper proposes three factor view of the quality of entrepreneurship. We posit that the quality of entrepreneurship, rather than quantity, is the main determinant of economic development.
