    Extrinsic and intrinsic determinants of entrepreneurial growth of Bangladesh: an empirical examination
    (RMUTT Global Business and Economics Review, 2009-03) Khan, Jahangir H., Biswas, Buddha Dev, Ahmed Neaz
    Entrepreneurial growth is predicted to be related to micro variables or intrinsic determinants (motivations) and macro variables or extrinsic determinants (environmental infrastructure elements) but in a differential way. Infrastructure variables are tested as moderators in the motivation-growth relationship. Motivations are further categorized into intrinsic pull and extrinsic push factors. A rich sample of 395 recently- minted entrepreneurs and concerned institutions of Bangladesh were surveyed. Results essentially confirmed the predictions, with motivations playing a larger role than anticipated. Implications were discussed for policymakers charged with the responsibilities of economic development through entrepreneurship.
