“…There has been work explicitly focusing on the impact of culture to entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial outcomes for quite some time now; see Hayton et al (2002) and Cacciotti and Hayton (2017) for reviews of the literature. Therefore, it is not a new idea that culture affects entrepreneurship, For example, Chakraborty et al (2016) present a formal model of the evolution of culture and entrepreneurship. Frederking (2004) shows that it is the organization of culture that is relevant for entrepreneurs and their business activities.…”

We show how the type of alcohol consumed is related to the type of entrepreneurship present for economies in Europe. We differentiate between beer-, wine-, and spirit-drinking countries and distinguish between productive, unproductive, and destructive entrepreneurship. The underlying links do not emerge from drinking per se but rather the drinking habits and taste for beverage types capture deep cultural features and cultural similarities amongst the countries. Societies that prefer to drink beer are closer to each other culturally than those which prefer drinking wine or spirits. Therefore, the taste for alcohol type is merely an instrument in explaining cultural and institutional differences across entrepreneurship. Broadly speaking, beer-drinking countries are characterized by higher shares of productive entrepreneurship, wine-drinking countries with unproductive entrepreneurship, and spirit-drinking countries with destructive entrepreneurship. We discuss mechanisms in which the results are found and highlight a new research agenda, emphasizing the potential role of epigenetics.

“…Ireland et al (2003) argue entrepreneurship process is linear and sequential that includes mind of the entrepreneur, management of resources to deal with the situation, creativity, innovation and competitive advantage.

This study aimed to develop indicators of entrepreneurship in rural small enterprises as well as identifying the effective factors and obstacles to provide strategies of entrepreneurship development. The population of study included small business owners in Fars Province, Iran that initiated business in rural areas through quick-impact enterprises project. Developing entrepreneurship index was conducted using the Delphi method and was tested using survey method. Data were gathered through interviews and questionnaires.

Additionally, factor analysis indicated five obstacles in development of entrepreneurship in quick-impact enterprises, including financial problems, market orientation, weakness of information, poor and inappropriate business environment and weakness in supportive government policies. Finally, some applicable recommendations were presented based on the study results.

“…Hence, entrepreneurs are viewed as the most critical factors for economic development of a country (Schumpeter 1934) because they are responsible for the organization and management of business enterprises through judicious utilization of the theories of entrepreneurship. These entrepreneurial theories both aspire to enhance the theoretical and practical skills and knowledge of the entrepreneurs (Chakraborty et al, 2016) and can be categorized into sociological, economic and cultural aspects.…”

Purpose: This paper seeks to examine the mediating influence of entrepreneurial culture and orientations on the development of the entrepreneurial performance, spirit and endeavors of Small and Medium Enterprises owners/managers in the Kingdom of Bahrain. The paper also determines some of the problems besetting the SME owners/managers along their cultural values and entrepreneurial orientations. Design/Methodology/Approach: This paper is a qualitative study and will use a descriptive correlation research design. The survey of this paper using questionnaire is to be conducted and administered to randomly selected samples of 40 SME owners/managers and 20 SME staff in the Kingdom of Bahrain. Practical Implications: The research findings of this paper will identify those cultural and entrepreneurial orientations' attributes and challenges that need to be aligned with the efforts of the Bahraini government to affirm entrepreneurship as the new era for Bahrain's economic growth. Originality/Value: This paper is among those few studies in the Kingdom of Bahrain that explore the impact or influence of cultural attributes and entrepreneurial orientations on the performance and challenges of SME owners/managers themselves and not based on macroeconomic data. It can provide a basic overview of the obstacles and/or challenges faced by Bahraini SME owners/managers and the support required from the government and other institutions in the society. Research Limitations: The study will be limited by the number of respondents doing entrepreneurial activities in selected small and medium enterprises. The perceptions of the randomly selected SME entrepreneurs will be treated with simple statistical tools. Therefore, care will be taken in generalizing from the sample.
