Abstract
Entrepreneurship is a key to economic development, because it has to do with the combination of new or old resources in new ways in order to create a business opportunity. These new ideas and innovations are often created by newly founded and small firms that engage in rapid growth. These firms even create new industries (Storey, 1994). Therefore, entrepreneurship, small firm growth and innovations are closely connected to each other.
