Part of the book series: Perspectives in Entrepreneurship ((PERENTR))

Abstract

As the preceding chapters have demonstrated, entrepreneurship in its many forms offers the promise of empowering individuals and organisations, and of improving societies and nations in a variety of ways. This chapter seeks to clarify the cultural antecedents of venture creation and reviews important foundations for those encouraging more entrepreneurship, within a cultural context. This chapter does not attempt an encyclopedic review of culture, but rather identifies findings that bestow new awareness to entrepreneurship research in this regard.
