Abstract

A national system of entrepreneurship (NSE) encompasses a set of elements, including interactions among diverse actors, the roles that these actors play, and various institutional and environmental factors, that combine to promote the continued occurrence and succession of entrepreneurial events. The integration of DEMATEL and ISM is applied to parse NES after the corresponding process and algorithms of it are analyzed. The research reveals that an NSE is composed of two subsystems, namely an effect subsystem and a cause subsystem, each of which features a number of constituent elements. In particular, the three effect subsystem elements of promoters of individual business ventures, entrepreneurial events, and entrepreneurial opportunities are the core elements of an NSE, whereas the three cause subsystem elements of facilitators of entrepreneurial events, universities, and urbanization are the basal elements of an NSE. Entrepreneurship-related regulations and policies have the broadest effects on an NSE.
