Girişimcilik Faaliyetlerinin Uluslararası Karşılaştırması: Ampirik Kanıtlar

Abstract

Kısıtlı finansal kaynaklar ve finansal piyasalara erişim zorlukları, girişimciliğin gelişmesinin önündeki en büyük problemlerdir. Yeni kurulan ve büyümekte olan işletmeler, özkaynak, borç, risk sermayesi ve ilk halka arz konularında zorluklarla karşılaşmasına rağmen, birçok girişimcilik çalışması sadece eğitim, meslek, deneyim ve cinsiyet gibi demografik özellikleri göz önüne almıştır. Bir girişimci hayatının erken dönem girişimcilik faaliyeti aşamasında büyük problemlerle karşılaşabilir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, Geçiş ekonomileri, Güney Amerika ve Gelişen piyasalarda girişimcilik faaliyetleri arasındaki farklılıkları belirlemek ve ulusal kültürün girişimcilikte risk almayı teşvik etmesi üzerine olan etkilerini araştırmaktır. Bu çalışma, finansal kaynak kıtlığı ve banka hizmet yetersizliğinin gelişmekte olan ülkelerde gelişen ülkelere oranla önemli problemler olduğunu bulmuştur. Çalışmanın verileri KüreselGirişimcilik İzleme projesinin standart anketlerinden sağlanmıştır.
