Abstract:
In this research, we have empirically tested the impact of Entrepreneurial Framework Conditions (EFC) on entrepreneurial activity and ultimately on economic growth of a nation. In our sample all the 54 countries participating in the GEM study in 2017 are taken. 67.8% of the world’s population and 86.0% of the world’s GDP is represented by the economies included in GEM 2017. The entrepreneurial ecosystem is captured through 12 EFCs used in the GEM model that includes: Financial environment, government policy of support and relevance, government policy of taxes and bureaucracy, government programs, entrepreneurial education at school stage and post school stage, R&D transfer, commercial and legal infrastructure, internal market dynamics, access to physical infrastructure, and social and cultural norms. The impact of these EFCs and their significance in creating entrepreneurial activity (TEA) in a nation is analyzed using OLS estimation technique with TEA as dependent variable. Secondly, the impact of entrepreneurial activity (TEA) on economic growth ( ∆GDP) is estimated using OLS regression model with control variables such as global competitiveness index (GCI) and Gross national income per capita, expressed in purchasing power parity (GNIC). The results suggest that entrepreneurship education at post school stage, entry burdens and cultural and social norms are significant framework conditions that support entrepreneurial activity, while R&D transfer, internal market dynamics and commercial and legal infrastructure hinders the process of entrepreneurship. Furthermore, TEA is significantly contributing to the economic growth of factor driven and efficiency driven economies.

Abstract:
Modern literature has many research in the field of entrepreneurship, but most of them do not explain the characteristics of entrepreneurial activity in developing countries. Thus, this research uses  regression analysis of panel data for the cross-country analysis of factors influence the level of entrepreneurial activity in 52 developing countries. The paper provides empirical information about the individual characteristics, regulatory standards countries, as well as some macroeconomic indicators. Individual factors (gender, age), indicators of respondents’ self-evaluation and assessment of the environment, in which they are located have a significant impact on entrepreneurial activity in developing economies. In terms of macroeconomic indicators, it was concluded on the positive effects of GDP growth and the lack of impact of unemployment on the level of entrepreneurial activity.

Abstract:
Mestrado em Finanças
Esta dissertação analisa o impacto da política dos benefícios fiscais para as regiões do interior em Portugal. Mais especificamente, avaliamos o efeito desta mudança de política na entrada de novas empresas e em duas características regionais sócio-demográficas: taxa de natalidade e taxa de divórcio. Estudos anteriores sugerem que a redução de impostos aumenta a rendibilidade das empresas e, portanto, a entrada de novas empresas. Também sugerem que em períodos de prosperidade económica, as condições de vida melhoram e a taxa de divórcio aumenta, enquanto que não há evidências conclusivas sobre a relação exata entre o rendimento e a natalidade. Para testar estas hipóteses, usámos uma base de dados empregador-empregado (QP - "Quadros de Pessoal") para avaliar as empresas estabelecidas entre o período de 1997 e 2007. Os dados regionais sócio-demográficos foram recolhidos do INE ("Instituto Nacional de Estatística"). Contrariamente ao esperado, a introdução da política reduz a entrada de novas empresas, assim como a taxa de natalidade e de divórcio. Obtemos resultados semelhantes usando uma variável instrumental. O efeito negativo na entrada de empresas persiste mesmo quando dividimos a nossa amostra nas diferentes fases da introdução da política. Estes resultados não são consistentes nas amostras restritas (concelhos vizinhos).
This study analyzes the impact of the tax benefits for inland regions in Portugal. More specifically, we evaluate the effect of this policy change on firm entry and on two regional socio-demographic characteristics: child birth and divorce rate. Previous studies suggest that reducing taxes increases the level of profit opportunities and, thus, the entry of new firms. They also find that in periods of economic prosperity, life conditions improve and the divorce rate increases, while there is no conclusive evidence about the exact relationship between income and child birth. To test these predictions, we use a matched employer-employee dataset (QP - "Quadros de Pessoal") to estimate firms entry between the period 1997 and 2007. Regional socio-demographic data come from Statistics Portugal (INE - "Instituto Nacional de Estatística"). Contrary to our expectations, we find that the introduction of the policy reduce firm entry, as well as the child birth and divorce rate. We obtain similar results using an instrumental variable. The negative effect on firm entry persists even when we divide our sample into the different stages of the policy introduction. These results are not consistent in restricted samples (nearby counties).

Mestrado em Finanças
O presente estudo analisa o impacto da política de requisitos mínimos de capital na atividade empreendedora. Mais precisamente, investiga como uma redução dos requisitos mínimos de capital afeta a criação das empresas e a sua estrutura de capital inicial. Para a elaboração desta dissertação, utilizamos um conjunto de dados provenientes da base de dados portuguesa - SCIE, Sistema de Contas Integradas das Empresas. De forma a identificar o impacto da reforma, aplicamos o método de diferenças em diferenças usando um grupo tratado com Sociedades por Quotas e um grupo de controlo com Sociedades Anónimas. As nossas principais conclusões são que a redução dos requisitos mínimos de capital para iniciar uma start-up leva a um aumento na entrada das empresas e emprego em cerca de 15%. A reforma estimula principalmente a formação de empresas muito pequenas com um e dois funcionários. Adicionalmente, o valor do capital inicial, dívida e capital próprio para o primeiro ano de funcionamento das empresas diminui com a reforma. Contudo, a estrutura de capital inicial das novas empresas não é afetada. Não há impacto estatisticamente significativo da reforma no rácio da dívida/capital próprio das novas empresas.
This study analyzes the impact of the minimum capital requirement policy on entrepreneurial activity. More precisely, it investigates how a reduction of the minimum capital requirement affects firms' creation and their initial capital structure. Our data comes from a Portuguese database - Simplified Corporate Information (SCIE), Sistema de Contas Integradas das Empresas. We apply the difference-in-difference approach using a treated group with Sociedades por Quotas and control group of Sociedades Anonimas. We find that reducing the minimum capital required to start a business leads to an increase in firm's entry and job creation by about 15%. The reform mainly stimulates formation of very small firms with one and two employees. Also, the amounts of initial capital and first year debt and equity of start-ups decrease with the reform. However, the initial capital structure of new firms does not change. There is no statistically significant impact of the reform on the new firms? debt-to-equity ratio.

Abstract:
The 1990's in Victoria saw a political and economical shift away from the social justice themes of previous years to an economic rationalist approach to public sector services. Like other countries, educational reform initiatives focused on the introduction of market-oriented commercial practices. These were characterised by increased accountability for expenditure, pressure to supplement publicly funded income with commercial ventures, rationalisation of staff, privatisation of some services and a business-oriented approach to service provision. As part of this shift TAFE Institutes in Victoria were actively encouraged to embark on a business-based, entrepreneurial approach to training delivery in a competitive, user-choice market. This changing external environment is the context for this 'practitioner research' investigative project - the development of a motorsports program as a case study of innovation and entrepreneurship at Wodonga Institute of TAFE. A participant-observer research approach was applied to examine the perceptions of the stakeholders about the development of the program. Data was collected through semi-formal interviews with stakeholders, maintaining a reflective research journal and reviewing related literature. Analysis of the data identified emergent themes (enabling factors and barriers), reflecting at a micro level, similar themes and issues from current research and debate at national level. The themes are similarly reflected in literature on innovation, organisational change and entrepreneurship. The products generated from the investigative research project are:  Capturing Innovation: Entrepreneurial Activity Within a Publicly Funded Educational Organisation, an exegesis examining innovation and entrepreneurship at Wodonga Institute of TAFE through a case study (the motorsports program)  What a Great Idea! Where to From Here?, a set of guidelines for Wodonga Institute of TAFE practitioners about what is required in presenting their ideas to Senior Management (Appendix 1 and Appendix 2), and  a Professional development workshop agenda to support promotion of the guidelines (Appendix 2)  recommendations to Wodonga Institute of TAFE Directorate (Director/CEO and two Deputy Directors) for supporting the development of innovative ideas (Chapter 6). These outcomes aim to increase the success rate of innovative ideas being captured and developed into training programs and products at Wodonga Institute of TAFE.

Mestrado em Finanças
Face à actual situação económica e de desemprego vivida em Portugal é crucial entender se ser desempregado aumenta a intenção de criar uma empresa e se existe uma relação entre o capital humano dos desempregados empreendedores e o desempenho das suas empresas. As medidas utilizadas para avaliar o desempenho destas empresas são: A taxa de crescimento da dimensão da empresa e a sua sobrevivência no mercado. Este estudo é particularmente relevante em Portugal uma vez que o governo oferece incentivos para os indivíduos desempregados se tornarem empreendedores: Estes têm a possibilidade de receber antecipadamente o montante acumulado de todo o seu subsídio de desemprego para investir na nova empresa e têm acesso junto dos bancos a taxas de juros mais baixas para financiarem as novas firmas. Os resultados sugerem que a perda de emprego aumenta em 1% a probabilidade de criar uma nova empresa e que o capital humano destes fundadores tem um impacto positivo no desempenho destas novas empresas. Adicionalmente os nossos resultados sugerem que a faixa etária dos fundadores que cria mais oportunidades de emprego é a que inclui as idades entre 20 e 29 anos de idade.
Given the disastrous unemployment situation lived in Portugal, it is crucial to understand if dismissal events increase the entrepreneurial intent and whether there is a link between the human capital of the dismissed entrepreneurs and their firms' performance. The measures we use to evaluate the firms' performance are: the 0employment growth rate and the firm survival. Our research is particularly relevant in Portugal, where the Portuguese government provides incentives to unemployed individuals so that they can become entrepreneurs. They have the chance to receive upfront all the unemployment benefit to invest in a new venture and the banks give them access to lower interest rates. In the literature, there are many criticisms about this kind of entrepreneurship (called "necessity entrepreneurship") and about the measures promoted by the governments to push unemployed individuals to entrepreneurship. Previous literature suggests that this type of entrepreneurship does not contribute to economic growth. Our results suggest that dismissal events increase 1% the probability to establish a new firm and that the human capital of these founders positively affect firms' performance. We also conclude that the founders' age makes a difference: between the age group of 20 to 29 years their firms create more employment opportunities.

Abstract:

Governmental and philanthropic efforts alone are not sufficient to eradicate poverty. The world needs new frameworks that enable sustainable development by integrating the economic, social and environmental dimensions, and social entrepreneurship is of great interest because it has the capacity for facilitating societal change by fostering innovative ways to address social inequality, unemployment, and climate change. Precisely because social entrepreneurship lays at the intersection of the business and nonprofit worlds, it is a complex phenomenon, and there are many unknowns regarding how the convergence of these dimensions can be understood and managed at cross-national levels.

To investigate this phenomenon, this study used a mixed-methods sequential explanatory design to investigate the correlates of social entrepreneurship among a sample of 55 countries for which sufficient data existed. Specifically, regression analysis was first used to identify the significant socioeconomic factors that explained variation in social entrepreneurial activities both broadly and narrowly defined; then, through in-depth individual interviews with government officials and focus groups composed of social entrepreneurs, the study explored how the quantitative findings manifested in the social entrepreneurial activities in Colombia and Mexico.

Results from the regression analysis revealed the existence of different correlates for the broad and narrow definitions of social entrepreneurial activity. For example, social entrepreneurial activity broadly defined was positively associated with a well-educated labor force and the stock of immigrants, and negatively associated with long-term unemployment and the growth of carbon dioxide emissions. Narrowly defined social entrepreneurial activity, however, was positively associated with taxes on income, profit and capital gains, and the perceived standard of living in a country, while negatively associated with the growth of carbon dioxide emissions. The cases of Colombia and Mexico added detail on how these factors manifest themselves through the characteristics of the entrepreneur, business, and ecosystem.

In addition to making practical and theoretical contributions to the field of social entrepreneurship by identifying and validating the socioeconomic factors that correlate with the social entrepreneurial activity in countries, the study may help governments manage social entrepreneurship more efficiently and effectively, improving the rate of return on the resources invested in this activity.

Abstract:
Les investigacions centrades en l’emprenedoria femenina han crescut gradualment en les darreres dècades. No obstant això, la majoria d’aquests estudis s’han dut a terme en països desenvolupats i és urgent que es treballi més sobre l’emprenedoria femenina a la regió de l’Orient Mitjà i el nord d’Àfrica (MENA), i específicament a l’Aràbia Saudita. El present estudi té com a objectiu suplir aquest buit. El seu propòsit és explorar els reptes a què s’enfronten les dones emprenedores a l’Aràbia Saudita, la facilitació que se’ls proporciona i els actors implicats. Per tant, la tesi té com a objectiu desenvolupar una comprensió més completa de les circumstàncies de les dones empresàries saudites, els factors que hi influeixen, i com i per què es diferencien de les de les nacions occidentals, a fi d’explorar les implicacions de la política a l’Aràbia Saudita. La investigació és el primer intent empíric per proporcionar un relat exhaustiu dels factors que afecten l’actitud de les dones envers l’emprenedoria a l’Aràbia Saudita arran d’una sèrie de canvis en l’entorn institucional formal destinats a capitalitzar els joves i, en particular, les dones. També es van analitzar els factors únics a tenir en compte a l’Aràbia Saudita; particularment l’àmplia bretxa en els rols de gènere i les pràctiques culturals generalment diferents en comparació amb les nacions occidentals, i l’estatus del país com a destinació clau per als musulmans de tot el món, una font primària d’energia essencial i un far d’estabilitat econòmica i política al Mig Regió est. En aquest estudi s’utilitza un mètode quantitatiu. En primer lloc, es van identificar els factors mitjançant la revisió sistemàtica de la literatura i les dades secundàries de l’Enquesta de població adulta realitzada per Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) i es van utilitzar per desenvolupar una enquesta principal per generar més preguntes per assolir l’objectiu principal de l’estudi. Per tant, la investigació utilitza diferents tècniques per a la seva anàlisi: revisió sistèmica de la literatura, regressió logística binària, anàlisi de factors exploratoris i modelització d’equacions estructurals. El procés de recollida de dades primàries va emprar una mostra estratificada per garantir la cobertura d’emprenedors de diferents àrees, procedències educatives i sectors laborals dins del context saudita. Les principals conclusions d’aquesta tesi suggereixen que l’entorn institucional va jugar un paper essencial en el creixement de les dones emprenedores. En aquest sentit, aquesta tesi suggereix que els factors institucionals informals són més fiables a l’hora de conduir el comportament de les dones cap a l’emprenedoria que els formals. Mitjançant l’observació empírica, els factors institucionals formals no tenen cap efecte directe a l’hora d’influir en la percepció de les dones envers les emprenedores, però a través d’institucions informals hi ha una influència significativa en les dones en l’emprenedoria. Aquesta tesi té importants implicacions tant per a la teoria com per a la política. L’estudi contribueix al desenvolupament de la teoria, ja que és essencial entendre l’efecte de les institucions sobre l’activitat empresarial femenina en un context ambiental. Paral·lelament, l’estudi juga un paper important a l’hora d’oferir recomanacions exhaustives als responsables de la presa de decisions sobre el trasllat de la càrrega adequada sobre les polítiques i els procediments i el desenvolupament de polítiques per augmentar la proporció d’empresàries.
La investigación centrada en el emprendimiento femenino ha crecido gradualmente durante las últimas décadas. La mayoría de estos estudios, sin embargo, se han realizado en países desarrollados y existe una necesidad urgente de más trabajo sobre el emprendimiento femenino en la región de Medio Oriente y África del Norte (MENA), y específicamente en Arabia Saudita. El presente estudio tiene como objetivo llenar este vacío. Su propósito es explorar los desafíos que enfrentan las mujeres emprendedoras en Arabia Saudita, la facilitación que se les brinda y los actores involucrados. Por lo tanto, la tesis tiene como objetivo desarrollar una comprensión más completa de las circunstancias de las empresarias sauditas, los factores que las influyen y cómo y por qué difieren de las de las naciones occidentales, para, en última instancia, explorar las implicaciones para la política en Arabia Saudita. La investigación es el primer intento empírico de proporcionar una descripción completa de los factores que afectan la actitud de las mujeres hacia el emprendimiento femenino en Arabia Saudita a raíz de una serie de cambios en el entorno institucional formal destinados a capitalizar a los jóvenes y particularmente a las mujeres. También se analizaron factores únicos a considerar en Arabia Saudita; En particular, la amplia brecha en los roles de género y las prácticas culturales generalmente distintas en comparación con las naciones occidentales, y el estado del país como un destino clave para los musulmanes en todo el mundo, una fuente primaria de energía esencial y un faro de estabilidad económica y política en el Medio Región este. En este estudio se utiliza un método cuantitativo. En primer lugar, los factores se identificaron mediante una revisión sistemática de la literatura y datos secundarios de la Encuesta de población adulta realizada por Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) y estos se utilizaron para desarrollar una encuesta primaria para generar más preguntas para lograr el objetivo principal del estudio. Por lo tanto, la investigación utiliza diferentes técnicas para su análisis: revisión de la literatura sistémica, regresión logística binaria, análisis factorial exploratorio y modelado de ecuaciones estructurales. El proceso de recopilación de datos primarios empleó una muestra estratificada para garantizar la cobertura de empresarios de diferentes áreas, antecedentes educativos y sectores laborales dentro del contexto saudí. Los principales hallazgos de esta tesis sugieren que el entorno institucional jugó un papel fundamental en el crecimiento de las emprendedoras. En este sentido, esta tesis sugiere que los factores institucionales informales son más confiables para impulsar el comportamiento de las mujeres hacia el emprendimiento que los formales. A través de la observación empírica, los factores de las instituciones formales no tienen un efecto directo para influir en la percepción de las mujeres hacia los empresarios, pero a través de las instituciones informales, existe una influencia significativa sobre las mujeres en el emprendimiento femenino. Esta tesis tiene importantes implicaciones tanto para la teoría como para la política. El estudio contribuye al desarrollo de la teoría, ya que es fundamental para comprender el efecto de las instituciones sobre la actividad empresarial femenina en un contexto ambiental. Al mismo tiempo, el estudio juega un papel importante al ofrecer recomendaciones integrales para los legisladores con respecto a mover la carga correcta sobre las políticas y procedimientos, y desarrollar políticas para aumentar la proporción de mujeres emprendedoras.
Research focusing on female entrepreneurship has grown gradually over the last decades. Most of these studies, however, have been conducted in developed nations and there is an urgent need for more work on female entrepreneurship in the Middle East and North Africa Region (MENA), and specifically in Saudi Arabia. The present study aims to fill this gap. Its purpose is to explore the challenges that female entrepreneurs in Saudi Arabia face, the facilitation provided to them, and the actors involved. The thesis, therefore, aims to develop a fuller understanding of the circumstances of Saudi female entrepreneurs, the factors that influence them, and how and why these differ from those in Western nations, so as ultimately to explore the implications for policy in Saudi Arabia. The research is the first empirical attempt to provide a comprehensive account of the factors affecting women’s attitude towards entrepreneurship in Saudi Arabia in the wake of a series of changes in the formal institutional environment aimed at capitalizing on youth and particularly females. Unique factors for consideration in Saudi Arabia were also analyzed; particularly the wide gap in gender roles and the generally distinct cultural practices compared to Western nations, and the status of the country as a key destination for Muslims worldwide, an essential primary source of energy, and a beacon of economic and political stability in the Middle East region. A quantitative method is used in this study. First, factors were identified by means of systematic literature review and secondary data from the Adult Population Survey conducted by Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM), and these were used to develop a primary survey to generate further questions to achieve the main objective of the study. The research, therefore, uses different techniques for its analysis: systemic literature review, binary logistic regression, exploratory factor analysis, and structural equation modelling. The process of collecting primary data employed a stratified sample to ensure coverage of entrepreneurs from different areas, educational backgrounds, and work sectors within the Saudi context. The main findings of this thesis suggest that the institutional environment played an essential role in the growth of female entrepreneurs. In this regard, this thesis suggests that informal institutional factors are more reliable in driving women’s behavior towards entrepreneurship than formal ones. Through empirical observation, formal institution factors have no direct effect in influencing the perception of females toward entrepreneurs, but through informal institutions, there is a significant influence on women in entrepreneurship. This thesis has important implications for both theory and policy. The study contributes to theory development as it is essential to understand the effect of institutions on female entrepreneurial activity within an environmental context. In tandem, the study plays an important role in offering comprehensive recommendations for policymakers in respect to moving the right burden over the policies and procedures, and developing policies to increase the proportion of female entrepreneurs.

Abstract:
L’evidència empírica al llarg dels anys ha demostrat que l’emprenedoria és una part essencial de qualsevol desenvolupament econòmic a causa de la seva part en la creació d’ocupació, la innovació i el benestar. No només té un paper important, sinó que també ajuda a l’economia a créixer i desenvolupar-se. Com a resultat d’això, els acadèmics i els responsables polítics han prestat més atenció a l’estudi del camp de l’emprenedoria. A més, els estudiosos han utilitzat diverses teories i mètodes per estudiar els fenòmens de l’emprenedoria, i la teoria institucional és una de les teories que s’han utilitzat i permet obtenir una millor comprensió de l’activitat emprenedora. Com a resultat, aquest estudi utilitza la teoria institucional per analitzar l’entorn emprenedor saudita i investiga com els factors institucionals influeixen en l’activitat emprenedora al país. A més, aquest estudi utilitza mètodes quantitatius per analitzar l’entorn institucional. Aquesta investigació va començar amb una revisió sistemàtica de la literatura sobre el terreny, que va identificar els factors institucionals més crítics que cal estudiar per entendre l’activitat emprenedora. Per mesurar i analitzar aquests factors, aquesta investigació utilitza dades primàries i secundàries. Les dades primàries es van recollir mitjançant una enquesta en tres etapes de l’estudi. D’altra banda, les dades secundàries que s’han utilitzat s’han obtingut del Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM). Les principals conclusions d’aquesta investigació demostren que hi ha un impacte significatiu dels factors institucionals en l’activitat empresarial. L’estudi també suggereix que, si bé les institucions formals i informals tenen un impacte en l’activitat emprenedora, les institucions informals tenen un paper més important i més important. L’estudi també suggereix que les institucions informals no només afecten l’emprenedoria, sinó que també afecten la relació entre factors formals i activitat empresarial. La investigació contribueix a la literatura i la teoria aportant proves empíriques per entendre la naturalesa de l’activitat emprenedora als països en desenvolupament. No obstant això, l’estudi també ofereix als responsables de la formulació de polítiques algunes idees útils sobre com utilitzar els factors institucionals per fomentar un major creixement de l’activitat emprenedora.
La evidencia empírica a lo largo de los años ha demostrado que el emprendimiento es parte esencial de cualquier desarrollo económico por su papel en la creación de empleo, la innovación y el bienestar. No solo juega un papel importante, sino que también ayuda a que la economía crezca y se desarrolle. Como resultado de esto, académicos y políticos han prestado más atención al estudio del campo del espíritu empresarial. Además, los académicos han utilizado varias teorías y métodos para estudiar los fenómenos del emprendimiento, y la teoría institucional es una de las teorías que se han utilizado y arrojan una mejor comprensión de la actividad empresarial. Como resultado, este estudio utiliza la teoría institucional para analizar el entorno empresarial saudí e investiga cómo los factores institucionales influyen en la actividad empresarial en el país. Además, este estudio utiliza métodos cuantitativos para analizar el entorno institucional. Esta investigación se inició con una revisión sistemática de la literatura del campo, que identificó los factores institucionales más críticos que deben ser estudiados para comprender la actividad empresarial. Para medir y analizar esos factores, esta investigación utiliza datos primarios y secundarios. Los datos primarios se recopilaron mediante una encuesta en tres etapas del estudio. Por otro lado, los datos secundarios que se han utilizado se obtuvieron del Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM). Los principales hallazgos de esta investigación demuestran que existe un impacto significativo de los factores institucionales en la actividad empresarial. El estudio también sugiere que, si bien las instituciones formales e informales tienen un impacto en la actividad empresarial, las instituciones informales juegan un papel más significativo e importante. El estudio también sugiere que las instituciones informales no solo impactan el espíritu empresarial, sino que también afectan la relación entre los factores formales y la actividad empresarial. La investigación contribuye a la literatura y la teoría al brindar evidencia empírica para comprender la naturaleza de la actividad empresarial en los países en desarrollo. No obstante, el estudio también ofrece a los responsables de la formulación de políticas algunas ideas útiles sobre cómo utilizar los factores institucionales para fomentar un mayor crecimiento de la actividad empresarial.
Empirical evidence throughout the years has proved that entrepreneurship is an essential part of any economic development due to its part in creating jobs, innovating and welfare. Not only does it play an important role, but it also helps the economy to grow and develop. As a result of this, scholars and policymakers have paid more attention to the study of the field of entrepreneurship. Moreover, scholars have used several theories and methods to study the phenomena of entrepreneurship, and institutional theory is one of the theories that have been used and yield a better understanding of the entrepreneurial activity. As a result, this study uses the institutional theory to analyze the Saudi entrepreneurial environment and investigates how institutional factors influence entrepreneurial activity in the country. Moreover, this study uses quantitative methods to analyze the institutional environment. This investigation started with a systematic literature review of the field, which identified the most critical institutional factors that need to be studied to understand the entrepreneurial activity. In order to measure and analyze those factors, this research uses primary and secondary data. The primary data was collected through a survey at three stages of the study. On the other hand, the secondary data that has been used was obtained from the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM). The main findings of this research prove that there is a significant impact of institutional factors on entrepreneurial activity. The study also suggests that while both formal and informal institutions impact entrepreneurial activity, informal institutions play a more significant and more important part. The study also suggests that informal institutions not only impact entrepreneurship but also impact the relationship between formal factors and entrepreneurial activity. The research contributes to the literature and theory by giving empirical evidence to understand the nature of entrepreneurial activity in developing countries. Nevertheless, the study also offers policymakers some useful insights about how to use institutional factors to encourage more growth in entrepreneurial activity.

Abstract:
Criminal activity, in the minds of everyday individuals, usually means money, power and influence, but at the same time, it represents business like results and entrepreneurial thinking, and nothing brings in more money than organised crime. We are starting to tackle the idea that organised crime can be seen from an entrepreneurial perspective, while underlining the concepts of organised crime, corruption, and several characteristics of organised crime. At the same time, the paper points out some elements regarding the concept of entrepreneurship and some of its characteristics, while drawing a parallel between the two main ideas of the paper “organised crime” & “entrepreneurship”. In itself, the paper brings to light and tries to bridge the gap in understanding some of the links between entrepreneurship and organised crime. Considering some of the similarities between the entrepreneurial way and the organised crime method of making money, we are also presenting the results of a brief secondary data analysis based on reports, strategies regarding the economic effects of organised crime.

Abstract:
Description Ballarat sits on Wathaurong land and is located at the crossroads of four main Victorian highways. A number of State agencies are located here to support and build entrepreneurial activity in the region. The Ballarat Technology Park, located some way out of the heart of the city at the Mount Helen campus of Federation University, is an attempt to expand and diversify the technology and innovation sector in the region. This university also has a high profile presence in the city occupying part of a historically endowed precinct in the city centre. Because of the wise preservation and maintenance of its heritage listed buildings by the local council, Ballarat has been used as the location for a significant set of feature films, documentaries and television series bringing work to local crews and suppliers. With numerous festivals playing to the cities strengths many creative embeddeds and performing artists take advantage of employment in facilities such as the Museum of Australian Democracy at Eureka. The city has its share of start-ups, as well as advertising, design and architectural firms. The city is noted for its museums, its many theatres and art galleries. All major national networks service the TV and radio sector here while community radio is strong and growing.

Full text
Abstract:
Albury-Wodonga, situated in Wiradjuri country, sits astride the Murray River and has benefitted in many ways from its almost equidistance from Sydney and Melbourne. It has found strength in the earlier push for decentralisation begun in early 1970s. A number of State and Federal agencies have ensured middle class professionals now call this region home. Light industry is a feature of Wodonga while Albury maintains the traditions and culture of its former life as part of the agricultural squattocracy. Both Local Councils are keen to work cooperatively to ensure the region is an attractive place to live signing an historical partnership agreement. The region’s road, rail, increasing air links and now digital infrastructure, keep it closely connected to events elsewhere. At the same time its distance from the metropolitan centres has meant it has had to ensure that its creative and cultural life has been taken into its own hands. The establishment of the sophisticated Murray Art Museum Albury (MAMA) as well as the presence of the LibraryMuseum, Hothouse Theatre, Fruit Fly Circus, The Cube, Arts Space and the development of Gateway Island on the Murray River as a cultural hub, as well as the high profile activities of its energetic, entrepreneurial and internationally savvy locals running many small businesses, events and festivals, ensures Albury Wodonga has a creative heart to add to its rural and regional activities.

Full text
Abstract:
Geelong and the Surf Coast are treated here as one entity although there are marked differences between the two communities. Sitting on the home of the Wathaurong Aboriginal group, this G21 region is geographically diverse. Geelong serviced a wool industry on its western plains, while manufacturing and its seaport past has left it as a post-industrial city. The Surf Coast has benefitted from the sea change phenomenon. Both communities have fast growing populations and have benefitted from their proximity to Melbourne. They are deeply integrated with this major urban centre. The early establishment of digital infrastructure proved an advantage to certain sectors. All creative industries are represented well in Geelong while many creatives in Torquay are embedded in the high profile and economically dominant surfing industry. The Geelong community is serviced well by its own creative industries with well-established advertising firms, architects, bookshops, gaming arcades, movie houses, music venues, newspaper headquarters, brand new and iconic performing and visual arts centres, libraries and museums, television and radio all accessible in its refurbished downtown area. Co-working spaces, collective practices and entrepreneurial activity are evident throughout the region.
