Developing new businesses and expanding existing ones are crucial for a country's economic growth, as these activities lead to job creation and the opening of new markets. Growth, in business world, is often viewed as a desirable objective. It serves as important indicator of a company's success and plays major role in the job creation, prosperity, and global economic progression. A supportive ecosystem, comprising elements like individuals, organizations, governments, and support systems, is necessary to foster the entrepreneurship. These work synergistically to promote business creation and growth. This study aimed to determine influence of entrepreneurship ecosystem factors on entrepreneurs' growth intentions. Target population for the study comprised entrepreneurs who have already established their ventures. A total of 158 responses were collected using survey methods. The study used Smart PLS software, revealing positive association between socio-economic factors and entrepreneurs' growth intentions. Based on this positive association, we recommend enhancing the support systems within entrepreneurship ecosystem in Nepal. Strategic focus on education, networking opportunities, and financial support systems can significantly enhance entrepreneurship ecosystem, fostering the growth and success of businesses in Nepal.

“…Furthermore, how individuals view institutions and governance matters; entrepreneurs who perceive the attitudes of local authorities toward private business as positive and supportive are more likely to report plans for expanding their current activities (Vladimirov et al, 2017).

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to consider the success and failure of microfinance institutions in generating economic growth over the past 30 years and propose a dual criterion of evaluation. Design/methodology/approach It surveys the empirical literature on microfinance and finds that while there has been small and localized success in various countries in improving access to credit, at the same time there has been a broader failure to generate economic growth. The authors argue that this broader failure should be viewed from the viewpoint of institutional failure or the lack of supporting institutions such as private property rights and stable rule of law within developing countries. Findings Using Baumol’s (1968) theory of entrepreneurship, the authors argue that the broader failure of microfinance is a case of poor institutional quality leading to unproductive or even destructive entrepreneurship rather than productive entrepreneurship. The paper also suggests a link between the literature criticizing foreign aid and this view on microfinance. Originality/value The paper provides a survey of the empirical literature on micro finance as well as a novel framework that aids in understanding both the localized small-scale success as well as broader failure to generate economic growth.
