“…For creating this climate and business promotion policies, very important is the State contribution. This is because both the institutional and regulatory framework on the part of state bodies may either favor or hinder entrepreneurship and other entrepreneurship can contribute to changing the institutional framework (Kalantaridis & Fletcher, 2012). These policies may involve the creation of new enterprises, especially in nonadvantageous areas, policies relating to funding issues and finding funds from existing operations, policies aimed at developing a more favorable regulatory environment for businesses by reducing corruption and tax deductions business and policies that encourage cooperation between regions (Huggins and Williams, 2011; Méntez-Picazo et al, 2012; Smallbone & Welter, 2012).…”

Abstract:The aim of this study is to identify the factors which affect the decision of setting up new business in Greece, as well as identifying parameters associated with entrepreneurship in the period of the economic crisis. In this study, through a critical review of the literature and primary research, an analysis of a set of variables regarding enterpreneurship takes place, such as the sources of business financing, the institutional environment, as reflected in the role of clusters and business education, as well as the incentives entrepreneurs have in order to set up a business in the current conditions. The study shows that entrepreneurship is not a fixed condition, but a dynamic process, it is the most important source of potential growth, given that public expenditure have been cut significantly, and private consumption has shrunk.

“…Institutions also have the function of structuring daily actions, giving meaning to social life and reducing uncertainties (Kalantaridis & Fletcher, 2012). That is, in addition to their normative and coercive aspects, institutions produce meaning for life and social structure, their cultural-cognitive aspect (Scott, 2014).…”

“…For Barley and Tolbert (1997), these norms will generate behaviors with different degrees of conformity with them, that is, not all norms will be accepted in the same way by all. Moreover, this set of rules allows actors to interpret social phenomena in their own way and act according to this interpretation (Kalantaridis & Fletcher, 2012).…”

Teoria institucional na pesquisa em turismo: novas oportunidades de uma teoria em evolução La teoría institucional en la investigación del turismo: nuevas oportunidades de una teoría en evolución Resumo: Neste artigo de perspectiva, trazemos a teoria institucional para a atenção da pesquisa em turismo como uma teoria válida e em evolução que pode trazer contribuições para análises no turismo. Mostramos que a teoria institucional ainda é subutilizada no turismo e desenvolvemos uma série de proposições sobre como a teoria institucional pode ser útil para analisar a imagem do destino e a adequação entre a imagem de destino para os turistas e para a população local. Especificamente, mostramos como os conceitos institucionais centrais de legitimidade, isomorfismo, hibridização e categorização influenciam as estratégias de destinos quanto à sua imagem. Contribuímos para a teoria institucional discutindo o uso de uma abordagem institucional no turismo, fornecendo a análise de questões tradicionais com o uso da teoria institucional. Palavras

“…Institutional fields, on the other hand, represent the environment where organisations operate. They comprise of a set of common understandings, and rules and requirements to be fulfilled in order for organisations to receive support and legitimacy (Garud, Hardy, and Maguire 2007;Kalantaridis and Fletcher 2012;McCarthy 2012). The institutionalised rules and common assumptions often function as myths depicting various formal structures as rational means to the attainment of desirable ends, explaining why organisations engage in decoupling, thereby, adopting certain policies in a ceremonial way, in a bid to secure legitimacy, but engaging in different practices altogether (Meyer and Rowan 1977;DiMaggio and Powell 1983;Bruton, Ahlstrom, and Li 2010;Klyver and Bager 2012;Bromley and Powell 2012;Wijen 2014).…”

This paper advances our understanding of policy formulation, exploring how the particular institutional dynamics between the transnational and national levels of enterprise policy-making affect policy choices made by governments and consequently their outcomes. The paper argues that policy development occurs within a framework of dominating assumptions on enterprise, influential academic/policy communities and lesson-drawing from other countries' experiences, which have led to a privileging of the transnational when making policy choices. Empirically, the paper draws on a post-socialist country case -Albania, and uses interviews with policy actors and documentary data from national governments and international organisations. The paper explores the dynamics involved, and the actors that shape, policy formulation and makes two contributions to the literature. First, it provides a conceptual framework on how to analyse policy formulation, extending recent work on the link between policy formulation and the intended outcomes of policies. Second, it offers a more nuanced conceptualisation of enterprise policy formulation, arguing that policy formulation reflects the changing configurations of ideas, policy tools and resources, and actors involved in the process.
