Abstract: Institutional theory is an increasingly utilized theoretical lens for entrepreneurship research. However, while institutional theory has proven highly useful, its use has reached a point that there is a need to establish a clearer understanding of its wide-ranging application to entrepreneurship research.

“…This factor is particularly relevant in Russia, which is a country with significant disparities in many regions' entrepreneurial infrastructure, which directly affect small business development on a national scale [Saidullaev, 2015]. The institutional approach to studying entrepreneurship presumes that institutions set conditions under which entrepreneurs operate and make decisions on starting and running their businesses [Bruton et al, 2010;Peng, 2003]. These conditions may affect people's individual perception of their prospects for starting a business, and their willingness to move forward and take action to implement their entrepreneurial intentions [Kibler, 2013].…”

Vários autores sustentam que uma maior atividade empreendedora está associada ao efetivo cumprimento da lei, a direitos de propriedade bem-definidos, à transparência e simplicidade de processos administrativos, a instituições políticas e económicas eficientes, bem como a uma eficiente regulação do sistema económico (Bruton et al, 2010;Thai & Turkina, 2014).…”

Um No entender de vários autores, um ambiente formal institucional demasiado rígido, pouco eficiente em termos de implementação da lei, que apresente elevados índices de corrupção, que faça uma gestão ineficaz dos fundos públicos, que limite o acesso de uma parte significativa da população à educação e benefícios sociais, entre outros, pode conduzir a uma menor propensão para o empreendedorismo (Khoury & Prasad, 2015;Stel, Storey, & Thurik, 2007).…”
