THE EMERGENCE OF ENTREPRENEURSHIP IN EASTERN EUROPE: A SELF‐ORGANIZING PERSPECTIVE

Abstract

This paper looks at some of the difficulties that may inhibit the spread of entrepreneurial systems in the former Communist Bloc nations of Eastern Europe. The lack of a generally accepted model of entrepreneurship, even among Western academics and practitioners, is noted. Finally, a framework based on the idea of complex adaptive systems is suggested that might provide some guidance for building entrepreneurship in these emerging nations.
