Facilitating entrepreneurship in the failing Cuban economic model?

What is it about?

This study aims to understand necessity entrepreneurship in a poor emerging economy, where the supportive entrepreneurial ecosystem is not in place. In the years 2015 and 2019, we survey first time small-scale emerging entrepreneurs within the new entrepreneurial ecosystem in Cuba. The results suggest that the entrepreneurial environment has deteriorated and declined over this period. The study contributes to the understanding of high-vulnerability regions and poverty conditions as found in some emerging economies. Our study responds to calls for a better understanding by offering new insights into necessity entrepreneurship in challenging contexts under poverty and crisis; and the ways for recovery.
