L’intention de recréer est-elle influencée par le type de sortie et le Système National en Entrepreneuriat ?

The role of the entrepreneurial ecosystem in the phase of business creation is an extensively studied topic. This is not the case of its role during the recreation phase. Using the individual data of 6,322 entrepreneurs having experienced an entrepreneurial exit (voluntary or involuntary), as well as the data of experts from seventy different countries, we analyze the impact of the National System of Entrepreneurship (NSE) on the intention to create a business again. Our results show that entrepreneurial education, as well as social and cultural norms, have a positive influence on the intention to recreate a business, and that this positive relationship is stronger when the exit is involuntary. Most of all, these entrepreneurs need to feel supported by their environment in order to bounce back. With regard to government policies and programs, these also play a major role in the intention to create another new business, but only in the case of an involuntary exit. Conversely, infrastructure and foreign trade have a negative impact on the intention to recreate a business, whatever the type of exit.
