Abstract

Basierend auf institutioneller Theorie fassen wir die existierende Literatur zusammen, welche die Einflüsse regulatorischer, normativer und kognitiver Dimensionen des lokalen institutionellen Umfelds auf Unternehmertum untersucht hat. Anschließend testen und reproduzieren wir—basierend auf aktuellen Daten aus 43 Ländern—die Verbindung zwischen dem institutionellem Umfeld und zwei Arten von Unternehmertum: Gelegenheitsgetriebenem und notwendigkeitsgetriebenem Unternehmertum. Übereinstimmend mit existierender Literatur kommen wir zu dem Schluss, dass Länder, die durch eine geringe Marktoffenheit, größere Machtdistanz, sowie Kollektivismus geprägt sind, zu einem höheren Level an notwendigkeitsgetriebenen Unternehmertum tendieren. Die Qualität des regulatorischen Umfelds und Ungewissheitsvermeidung scheinen keinen starken Einfluss auf diese Art des Unternehmertums zu haben. Andererseits sind Länder mit geringer Marktoffenheit und einem schlechteren regulatorischen Umfeld, sowie geringer Machtdistanz durch gelegenheitsgetriebenes Unternehmertum geprägt.
