Abstract:
Entrepreneurship plays a key role in regional development and competitiveness, but is far from achieving its true potential in Romania. This paper aims at outlining the regional patterns of Romanian entrepreneurship using various statistical methods. We found that SMEs spatial distribution is marked by significant inequalities and a clear divide exists between the Western and Eastern parts of Romania. Using the appropriate spatial investigation techniques, we identified several spatial clusters of low SMEs density, mostly in less developed zones, with little business opportunities, from the Eastern Romania.
