Recommendation
The Kauffman Foundation is a nonprofit organization that advances entrepreneurship. In this paper, Kauffman researchers Dane Stangler and Jordan Bell-Masterson discuss four factors that will help assess whether a region or community is entrepreneur-friendly. Their handy overview explains why these factors are crucial, suggests ways to measure them and lists sources where you can obtain the relevant data. Although their analysis focuses only on assessing – not promoting – these factors, getAbstract recommends it to entrepreneurs, investors and policy makers.
