Effect of rurality and of human capital resources in the entrepreneurial opportunity identification processKedmenec, Irena (Avtor) Šebjan, Urban (Avtor) Tominc, Polona (Avtor) entrepreneurshiphuman capitalopportunity identificationrural areasIn this paper, that is a country study of Slovenia, we tried to determine why individuals in rural residential areas are less likely to recognize entrepreneurial opportunities. Our results show that the increase in resources in human capital, consisting of education, skills, knowledge, and experiences in entrepreneurship, has a significant and positive effect on opportunity identification. For policy creators, our results suggest that policies focused on entrepreneurial education— especially education that would enable the acquisition of real-life entrepreneurial experiences and skills—are useful, especially in rural areas.20152017-04-03 09:23:54Znanstveno delo65371ISSN: 0547-3101UDK: 005.13:005.95/.96(1-22)(497.4)OceCobissID: 751364COBISS_ID: 11984668DOI: 10.1515/ngoe-2015-0008ISSN pri članku: 0547-3101NUK URN: URN:SI:UM:DK:EEA49YS1sl
