Entrepreneurship, national ecosystem and cultural factors on selected countries

Abstract 
This paper examines the relationship among the Total Entrepreneurial Activity and Established Businesses defined in the Global Monitor of Entrepreneurship and the six dimensions of national culture obtained from the Hofstede framework, the Doing Business score obtained from World Bank Doing Business (WBDB) and the entrepreneurial ecosystem obtained from the Entrepreneurship Monitor Adult Population Survey and National Expert Survey. The selected countries for this research are: Mexico, Chile, the United States of America, Germany, and South Korea. The results show that financing for entrepreneurs, taxes and bureaucracy, postschool entrepreneurial education and training, internal market dynamics, cultural and social norms, cultural variables, and the Doing Business score influence entrepreneurial activity and established businesses in a different way for each country, which can be applied in order to promote Entrepreneurship and Established Businesses in Mexico.
