“…Existing research has normally measured regional personality by means of self-report questionnaires. These studies have mainly uncovered that the entrepreneurial personality profile (low Agreeableness and Neuroticism, and high Extraversion, Conscientiousness, and Openness to Experience) of a region in a range of countries, such as the U.S., the U.K., or Germany, relates to regional entrepreneurial activity (e.g., Audretsch et al, 2017;Obschonka et al, 2013; see also Carbonara et al, 2018). This is in line with the results of individual-level research.…”

“…Existing research found indications that regions with the highest entrepreneurship rates show both a more entrepreneurial personality and entrepreneurial eco-system (Obschonka et al, 2013(Obschonka et al, , 2015; see also Carbonara et al, 2018). Our study could thus inform future research targeting this interplay when analysing large datasets from social media sources.…”

There is increasing interest in the potential of artificial intelligence and Big Data (e.g., generated via social media) to help understand economic outcomes and processes. But can artificial intelligence models, solely based on publicly available Big Data (e.g., language patterns left on social media), reliably identify geographical differences in entrepreneurial personality/culture that are associated with entrepreneurial activity? Using a machine learning model processing 1.5 billion tweets by 5.25 million users, we estimate the Big Five personality traits and an entrepreneurial personality profile for 1,772 U.S. counties. We find that these Twitter-based personality estimates show substantial relationships to county-level entrepreneurship activity, accounting for 20% (entrepreneurial personality profile) and 32% (all Big Five trait as separate predictors in one model) of the variance in local entrepreneurship and are robust to the introduction in the model of conventional economic factors that affect entrepreneurship. We conclude that artificial intelligence methods, analysing publically available social media data, are indeed able to detect entrepreneurial patterns, by measuring territorial differences in entrepreneurial personality/culture that are valid markers of actual entrepreneurial behaviour. More importantly, such social media datasets and artificial intelligence methods are able to deliver similar (or even better) results than studies based on millions of personality tests (self-report studies). Our findings have a wide range of implications for research and practice concerned with entrepreneurial regions and eco-systems, and regional economic outcomes interacting with local culture.

“…Moreover, even though Vietnam has shifted from centrally planned to market economy, higher degree of liberalization and transparency of its legal frameworks is still required to provide a more favorable, free-market competition encouraging environment for the growth of private sector enterprises (Carbonara et al, 2018;Le et al, 2012;Paswan and Tran, 2012;Pham and Talavera, 2018;Thai and Chong, 2013;Turkina and Thi Thanh Thai, 2013).…”

Entrepreneurship has contributed to the rise and stability of Vietnamese economy through innovation, job creation, and nurturing entrepreneurial spirit. Using a structured database of Vietnamese researchers’ scientific publications, the study was able to identify 111 research on entrepreneurship from 2008 to 2018. Then, a homemade software was designed to analyze the data, and produce descriptive tables, charts, and network maps. The results show limited scope and quantity over the past ten years. Moreover, research topics were scattered with most interests focused on management, finance, and legal issues. Technology, gender, and internationalization are attracting public attention but remain underresearched. In the future, entrepreneurial venture and startups in Vietnam will benefit from the growing number of scientific publications.

“…The contribution of entrepreneurship to economic and social development is an issue that has been widely discussed (Greene & Saridakis, 2008;Murugesan, 2010;Loveridge et al, 2012), and in some countries it has been a rmed that the entrepreneurial spirit depends on the national culture (Boissin et al, 2009). However, it is a fact that within a country there is a diversity of cultures that can promote to a greater or lesser extent the development of this spirit (Carbonara et al, 2018).…”

This research was aimed to identify the main reasons why entrepreneurs in the city of Ibagué, who structure business ideas and participate in contests and/or calls, do not continue the entrepreneurial process until the creation of their companies. After applying the beforehand validated instrument to more than 100 students from the Universidad de Ibagué and expert advisers from the department of Tolima, made up of universities, entrepreneurs, and public-private institutions, with interests in entrepreneurship; it was possible to recognize that the main reason, why entrepreneurs generate ideas, but not companies, is the cultural factor. The foregoing is based on the fact that Tolima has been a quintessential agricultural department and this situation has contributed greatly to the fact that the entrepreneurial spirit has not been developed in people. Within the research results it was detected that in contrast with other cities of Colombia, like Manizales and Medellín, Ibagué has not been able to consolidate a solid entrepreneurial ecosystem due to the lack of coordination among private, public and academic sectors, and on the other side, the majority of people from Ibagué do not have family support for the development of their initiatives, being fundamental components for the creation of enterprises. Among the recommendations proposed in the study is the construction of an entrepreneurial ecosystem, because it will allow the participation of the Triple Helix by providing opportunities to all entrepreneurs in the region; in addition, it is considered important that educational institutions, both schools and universities, promote the development of entrepreneurial skills and competencies in individuals involving their families.
