Abstract
Entrepreneurship makes an important contribution to the success of a country's economic development. It is main source of job creation, innovation and exploitation of new opportunities. That is why entrepreneurship has always been of great concern throughout the world. Entrepreneurship development is established by propagation of entrepreneurship culture and promotion of entrepreneurial activity levels. Instead of numerous programs to enhance entrepreneurial ethics in Iran, the number of innovative-based created businesses in Iran is lower than of global average. Identification and assessment of the various effective factors on entrepreneurship development will be useful for policy makers. In this paper, the effects of environmental factors on entrepreneurship development from Iranian entrepreneurs' viewpoint have been investigated. A descriptive-survey method with a researcher-made questionnaire was utilized to collect data. The results show that from Iranian entrepreneur's point of view, personal experiment, environmental, social and cultural factors have significance effects on entrepreneurial activities.
