| Abstract: | Previous research on entrepreneurship has largely focused on start-up firms in the relatively stable environment of developed economies, whereas scholarship on transforming economies has paid primary attention to large and established firms. Entrepreneurial efforts in a turbulent institutional environment during the radical reforms in the formerly centrally planned economies are still relatively understudied. Using a comparative case study method, this study examined how the reforming institutional environment in Bulgaria influenced the strategic behavior of entrepreneurial firms. The authors identified the key institutional entities/agents the major characteristics of the institutional environment, and analyzed the strategic responses of the entrepreneurial companies. |
