ABSTRACT

Since the 1990s there is an extensive literature about main factors impacting on Entrepreneurship and related Innovation activity, and therefore on the genesis and development of Entrepreneurship Ecosystems. Research activity on these topics has been reinforced on last years after economic downturn of 2008-2013, especially in Europe, the US and Eastern Asian countries, arising clear evidence about the key impact of some context factors on Entrepreneurship activity. Concerning this point, cultural factors are of the most interest to understand differences on Entrepreneurship among countries. As a consequence, it has been written a lot about these cultural factors, especially at reaching conclusions from specific cases. However, it has been further less published on a cross-country basis, with few exceptions, even less using a qualitative comparative approach (fsQCA). Precisely, this work aims to fill this gap.
