    Description

    Twenty years ago an empirical study in ETP showed that what is perceived by somebody of one culture as an opportunity for entrepreneurship is not necessarily so for a person influenced by values of a different culture (Dana, 1995). Gender and religion also play an important role in the process of recognising opportunity for entrepreneurs (Dana, 2009, Dana, 2010; Dana and Ramadani, 2015). Opportunity recognition is one of the core components of entrepreneurship as it affects the success and performance of business ventures. Cultural attitudes and behaviour influence the way that gender and religion are part of the process of evaluating opportunities based on societal expectations (Ramadani et al, 2013; Ratten et al, 2007). Often gender roles are learnt within a religious and cultural context that impedes or encourages entrepreneurship based on the socio-economic status. In creating business ventures gender and religion affect socio-economic conditions that in turn affect opportunity recognition. The interplay of gender, culture and religion on the opportunity recognition process is the focus of this special journal issue. The aim of this special journal issue is to examine opportunity recognition in line with culture, gender and religious aspects. These effects help to understand how opportunities are recognised by people, business and society based on their cultural, gender and religious orientation.
