“…These results are in line with our expectations. In accordance with the findings of Albulescu and Tămăşilă [27] and with our expectations, the fear of failure has a negative influence on the option of entrepreneurs to start-up a new business.…”

“…The fear of failure rate (FOF) expresses the percent of persons with positive perceived opportunities which indicate that the fear of failure would prevent them to create a new business. This variable is negatively correlated with the level of entrepreneurial activity (in accordance with the findings by Albulescu and Tamasila [27]) because fear of failure is considered a constraining factor for creating and starting a new business. The entrepreneurial intentions (EINT) variable expresses, according Singer et al [63], the percentage of individuals who expect to start a business within the next three years.…”

Entrepreneurship plays a major role in national economies, being considered one of the main engines of economic growth, and an important contributor to creating new jobs and innovations. Identifying the main determinants of entrepreneurial activity is important for helping the decision makers in adopting adequate measures to support the creation and development of new businesses. The turbulent economic environment in recent years dominated by economic and financial crises, resulting in a reduction in economic growth but also in an increase in unemployment, has led decision makers to turn their attention again to the determinant factors of entrepreneurship. Starting from those stated above, through this paper we aim to investigate the impact of some macroeconomic, individual and business environment-related factors on the dynamics of entrepreneurial activity in 18 European Union (EU) countries for a period of 14 years (2002)(2003)(2004)(2005)(2006)(2007)(2008)(2009)(2010)(2011)(2012)(2013)(2014)(2015). We use three regression models and we apply panel data fixed effect model approach. The results of our study highlight that inflation rate, foreign direct investments, access to finance and total tax rate are the main macroeconomic determinants of entrepreneurship. Also, we find that all individual business-related factors considered in the analysis have a significant impact on total entrepreneurship rate.

Besides the well-known factors that affect entrepreneurship: economic and technological development, culture and education, FDI should also be considered as an important factor for entrepreneurial development of a host country. Having that in mind, the aim of this paper is to analyze how FDI may affect the host country's entrepreneurial activity, through a literature review. In some of the analyzed papers foreign investors are seen as friends of the host country's entrepreneurship thanks to the capital inflows, know-how, managerial capacity and employment growth, but in some other papers are seen as enemies, owing to increasing import competition and discouraging domestic entrepreneurs. The main contribution of this paper is compressing into a single material an overview of the friendly and unfriendly based effects of FDI on the host country's entrepreneurship.

“…The selection of a particular country or region, which is supposed to become a location of a foreign investment, is influenced by many factors. The relevant literature (Hymer 1976, Frey, Schneider 1985: 161-175, Blomstrom, Wang 1992: 137-155, Dunning 2003: 43-58, Pilarska 2005, Kojima 2011, Albulescu, Tămăşilă 2014: 219-228, Coy, Corrnicon 2014 mentions the economic conditions, including market determinants, cost determinants and the openness of economy, among the main factors affecting the value of direct investments in a given country. An elaborated list of factors deciding on the inflow of FDI was presented by Dunning (2004Dunning ( : 64-85, 2006.…”

Dynamic changes observed on global markets mainly due to the economic slowdown but also as in the case of Japan the effect of natural disasters, are the main reason for the need to take into account the new operating conditions in global logistics strategies of corporations. They also have a direct impact on decisions concerning the location of foreign investment. One of the factors increasingly influencing the location decisions of investors is the stability of economic development measured not only in relation to that country, but also the entire geographic region. This is particularly important in the case of such political and economic structures like the European Union, bringing together countries with significant differences in levels of development and with different conditions and experiences of functioning. The aim of this study is to analyze the temporal uniformity of indicators which could determine the attractiveness (economic competitiveness), of the European Union as a place for the location of foreign investment. For the study of this temporal uniformity the calculus vector was used. The results confirmed the considerable temporal diversity of development of the analyzed indicators. Presented results are part of a research project called “Management methods in Japanese supply chains in Poland and the UK”, funded by the National Science Centre.
