Rural entrepreneurship in Europe

Σοφία Σταθοπούλου, Demetrios Psaltopoulos, Dimitris Skuras · 2004 · International Journal of Entrepreneurial Behaviour & Research

Summary. Rural entrepreneurship in Europe operates within a distinct territorial context shaped by physical geography, social capital, networks, and governance structures. The authors argue that rurality itself functions as a dynamic entrepreneurial resource, creating both opportunities and constraints. They present entrepreneurship as a three-stage sequential process influenced by specific territorial characteristics and propose a research agenda addressing both theoretical understanding and policy development for supporting rural entrepreneurs.
