Abstract:
The most important phenomenon in the last quarter of the twentieth century, no doubt, is globalization. The international competitive environment caused by economic globalization has affected the firm behaviors and the national economies in both micro and macro levels. As a result, increasing global competition has led all economic actors to search for alternative sources in terms of the continuity of the firms and the sustainability of the growth and development of national economies. In this context, the effects of entrepreneurship and innovation activities on the economy have begun to focus on both academic and economic policy interest.
