Abstract

Even if entrepreneurship was and is studied extensively by researchers it has many aspects and interesting things that we need to find in order to better understand the private sector. The challenge arises when we try to analyze entrepreneurship nationwide because economic, legislative, social and even cultural differences influence this environment in a different way from country to country. Entrepreneurship is found in the list of areas adversely affected by corruption. In this article we try to analyze how this impact takes place in Romania, a country in economic development where the corruption level is constantly high.
