المعرفة و الشبكات كآلية لدعم ريادة الأعمال : قراءة في تجارب منطقة Mena و الاقتصاديات الناشئة

Abstract EN

The paper aims to attempt, collect and understand the fragmented research on entrepreneurship in the MENA region and emerging economies.

We review and try to understand the fragmented literature in different settings on the contribution of genders.

The results showed that the establishment of SMEs is a pillar to activate entrepreneurship at a rate lower than the global averages in the MENA region.

The findings clarified the increasing role of using knowledge-based resources and networks to create new businesses, and share knowledge within and outside the region.

An important gap in the field is the lack of studies that analyze Women entrepreneurship, which does not use the language of networks (e.

g.

, ties and networks).
