Abstract

The present study examines the contemporary theoretical formulations for studying and analyzing the factors that favor the entrepreneurial spirit and attitudes, promote the entrepreneurial environment in its integrity and determine the development of entrepreneurship. On this basis, an analytical model has been selected, which is applied for the purposes of the empirical study on the Bulgarian entrepreneurial ecosystem conducted by the author. The study is backed up by additional data so as to achieve a completeness of the scope and depth of the presentation of the entrepreneurial processes in Bulgaria and the progress in this area in recent years.
