Regions and Entrepreneurial Activities

Abstract

This study aims to organize the various existing studies dealing with the relationship between regions and entrepreneurial activities and examine the ongoing discussion on entrepreneurial activities. The research associated with the keyword “region” is broad, and it is difficult to grasp the whole picture. From this perspective, this research focuses on the historical background of each research as a clue to organize various discussions. Then, we examined whether, why, and how the regional perspective has contributed to clarifying entrepreneurial activities. Accordingly, we organized the representative studies into three perspectives. We further summarized the significance and role of regional perspective in the study of entrepreneurial activity and provided directions for future research in this field.
