Description

Generally governments in developing economies work towards encouraging enterprise growth as the engine to increase national wealth and higher standards of living. In terms of the form of enterprise, some countries favor public or public-private partnerships, while others favor private enterprise primarily. The smaller the economy the more likely it is that the government will be involved in promoting the growth of enterprises. This paper examines the role of institutional dynamics in supporting or limiting enterprise growth in the British West Indies and the Spanish West Indies. The interplay of the three parts of the institutional profile, regulatory, cognitive and normative, will be influenced in each country grouping by the history of the country, the economic resources and the geographical location.
