Overview Why measure Entrepreneurship? Why measure Entrepreneurship internationally?
What is the:“Entrepreneurship Indicators Programme “
Model, Definitions, Framework and Measures First EIP data release …. TODAYwww.oecd.org/statistics/
entrepreneurshipindicators Results and outputs of current phase Next steps and beyond
Importance of Entrepreneurship
Long recognized ………………… but endogenous Policy interest only in latter part of 20th
Century New, more productive firms enter Less productive firms leave Those remaining must improve Maybe….. But perhaps “entrepreneurship” too broad Not everyone starting a firm is “productive” SME ≠ Entrepreneurship
Why Measure Entrepreneurship?
Internationally Policymakers took interest in
Entrepreneurship Many encouraged and tracked “start-
ups” But “American” success eluded them Productivity gaps continued, and grew Global restructuring added pressures What are we missing? How can we be more like …. them
Genesis of Entrepreneurship Indicators Programme
2005: Kauffman Foundation: Feasibility Study What are needs and options? What role could an organisation like OECD play ?
Eurostat was also exploring entrepreneurship Survey on Factors of Business Success (FoBS) Danish-led ICE consortium sponsored Study of
“official” Start-up Rates Huelva Workshop I - Entrepreneurship Statistics
Outcome of Feasibility Study
Entrepreneurship was a policy priority Limited involvement of NSOs Few internationally-comparable measures Fundamental definitions and concepts missing Measures lacked Policy Context Desire for regional and target-group data Need information on firms and entrepreneurs Basic business demography data
incomparable Strong resistance to new firm surveys
OECD Launched EIPin September 2006
Make entrepreneurship data boring and routine
Get NSOs and Eurostat involved
EIP Approach to Entrepreneurship Measurement Definitions A Simple Theoretical Model A Framework of Indicators Measurement Manual Indicators and database
EIP Definitions • Entrepreneurs: those persons (business
owners) who seek to generate value, through the creation or expansion of economic activity, by identifying and exploiting new products, processes or markets.
• Entrepreneurial activity: the enterprising human action in pursuit of the generation of value, through the creation or expansion of economic activity, by identifying and exploiting new products, processes or markets.
• Entrepreneurship is the phenomenon associated with entrepreneurial activity.
Some Important Principles
Entrepreneur vs. Entrepreneurship Not just small or young firms Not all firms are entrepreneurial They are doing something “new” Some entrepreneurs fail “Value” can be defined in different ways Indicators focus on business
entrepreneurship
Definitions and Indicators EIP offers broad definition of entrepreneurship No single measure perfectly reflects definition A variety of indicators required Distinguish aspects and types of entrepreneurship Employers vs. non-employers Measures of High Growth and Gazelles Innovative firms Exporting firms
