Abstract
In this chapter, entrepreneurship policy is discussed in the context of emerging economies with particular focus on three major issues. First is the rationale for the state’s intervention in the enterprise sector. Second, the goals that public authorities intend to achieve by implementing a variety of entrepreneurship policy instruments. As evidenced by experience, these objectives are disparate and form various relationships: synergetic, neutral and—sometimes—competitive. Third, a holistic concept of a National Entrepreneurship System (NES) will be presented. The NES concept is rooted in the institutional context of socioeconomic policy, based on the notion that effectiveness in policymaking is determined not only by specific instruments and programmes, but also by a set of rules and standards, as well as the functioning of business support organizations, which should operate in a co-ordinated manner, thus forming a coherent system.
