Why is it important?
This study shows the influence of poverty, mafia, corruption, popular revolutions, and war in a neighboring country on entrepreneurship. It also emphasizes cultural factors such as the bureaucratic system, autocracy, and entrepreneurial milieus. Finally, it shows how the Arab spring changed new graduates’ motivations and inhibitions.
Perspectives
This article is interesting because it takes as a setting an understudied country of the MENA region: Tunisia. Besides, comparing entrepreneurship before and after the Arab Spring brings new perspectives and insights in better understanding the intention to create a firm.
