This paper provides a critical analysis of the question of why entrepreneurial level varies between countries. The analysis involves a review of relevant literature and theories explaining the concept of entrepreneurship from a multifaceted perspective. A review of Isenberg’s Entrepreneurship Framework reveals that the nature and type of environment in which an entrepreneurial venture exists determine how successful it becomes. The underlying ecosystem elements vary between countries, implying a variation in the level of entrepreneurial activity. Hofstede’s cultural dimensions show that cultural values and perspectives of entrepreneurship can promote or discourage the activity. The findings of this present significant policy implications for policymakers in the industry to take cultural values into account when formulating an entrepreneurship ecosystem. The policies should foster the creation of important connections with necessary elements to allow entrepreneurs to leverage opportunities.
