| Summary: | This paper discusses the significance, trends and achievements
of the entrepreneurship and small and medium-sized enterprise policy in Andalusia
developed with the support of the European Regional Development Fund
(ERDF). The lack of entrepreneurial culture and business environment conditions
unfavourable to entrepreneurship have traditionally acted as structural obstacles
to regional development in Andalusia. In order to face this problem, the role
of the entrepreneurship policy within the strategy for regional development has
increased over the programming periods of the European Cohesion policy. This
article proposes some recommendations for a more effective and efficient design
of the Cohesion policy in this field drawing on the analysis of the experience of
Andalusia. |
