Krasniqi (2007) identified various barriers to


entrepreneurship as shown in below figure.

3.1 Macroeconomic environment:


Macroeconomic environment conducive to
entrepreneurship is dependent upon the policies of the
government in supporting private participation in
business. Macro means large and the term
macroeconomic means the larger view of the economy.
It is different from the micro (small) view which
concerns a firm or a company in the market. For
example, in India the process of liberalization started
during the mid-1980s whereby the government started
the process of encouraging foreign MNCs (multinational
corporations) to create joint ventures (JVs) with Indian
domestic companies. This process created a
macroeconomic environment in which many new small
and medium enterprises (SMEs) evolved to become
suppliers and vendors for the JVs so created.

3.2 Legal and regulatory


environment:
The legal and regulatory environment for
entrepreneurship is formed by registration and
licensing procedures, commercial and contractual laws,
property rights laws, bankruptcy and collateral law, real
estate regulations and labour laws. If the administrative
procedures and laws are unclear, time-consuming and
cumbersome, they would pose barriers to
entrepreneurship.

3.3 Corruption and unfair


competition:
A corrupt economy can lead to unfair competition,
which in turn can become a major deterrent to
entrepreneurial activity. Excessive regulations and
approvals from the government required by
entrepreneurs may make the government officials
corrupt.

3.4 Financial obstacles:


Start-up ventures are usually dependent upon capital
to be sourced from banks and financial institutions. It
has 48 been observed that in many economies banks
are reluctant to give loans to small start-up firms.

3.5 Tax burden:


In many regions, the government charges high taxes
from even small start-up ventures and has tedious
procedures for compliance of tax submission
formalities. In order to promote entrepreneurship, the
governments would need to have rational tax structures
with easy tax submission procedures.

3.6 Challenges in attracting talent:


This is another big issue faced by small start-up
companies. The best of talent in engineering,
management and other disciplines wants to work for
multinational corporations (MNCs)rather than for small
start-ups. This attitude of professionals makes it
difficult for entrepreneurs to attract them for their
entrepreneurial ventures. Thus, there is a dire need to
create an ecosystem for entrepreneurship so that
budding professionals start valuing their association
with entrepreneurial ventures compared to working for
the MNCs.

3.7 Difficulty to source raw


material:
For entering a market with a product, an entrepreneur
has to identify if the suppliers of raw materials and
components existing in the market have adequate
capacity or are willing to expand capacity to meet the
requirements of a new player in the industry (Porter,
1998). If not, then it becomes imperative to establish
new suppliers in the market, which may be
cumbersome for the entrepreneur. Thus, this difficulty
to source raw materials and components often deters
entrepreneurs to enter the market.
