The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

With reference to the entrepreneurship policy delivery frameworks in the Districts of Altenburger Land (Thuringia) and Mittweida (Saxony), this report reviews the strengths and weaknesses of the current arrangements, identifies recommendations for adjustments to policy delivery methods, and details learning models of entrepreneurship policy delivery from North East England (UK), North Jutland (Denmark), and Ontario (Canada). In conclusion, several strategic issues are identified concerning the purposes of entrepreneurship policy, the development of a distinctive and more locally appropriate model of entrepreneurship and the appropriate institutional mechanisms and scales for entrepreneurship policy delivery.
