Entrepreneurial support: A comprehensive literature review and proposals for a research model

Abstract

This article offers a comprehensive review of the literature on entrepreneurial support. Using a rigorous methodology based on Boolean indicators, a precise and relevant selection of articles was conducted, followed by an in-depth analysis of the findings. This approach positions entrepreneurial support within the current research landscape, while highlighting its challenges, limitations, and developments. The study identifies existing gaps and proposes research avenues that lead to the emergence of an innovative conceptual model. This model can serve as a foundation for empirical studies to better understand the discrepancies between the supply and demand of entrepreneurial support, particularly for small structures characterized by their specific and diverse needs.
