Abstract

Through the analysis of the reforms conducted by the Chinese Communist Party and of the entrepreneurship process in China, we seek to demonstrate the interactions between the institutional framework and the private initiative. In the Popular Republic of China, the institutions that regulate the functioning of society are not originally legal regulations or cultural conventions but instead instructions emanated from the CPP. These also comprise the essential regarding entrepreneurial activities’ regulations. In order to do this, we primarily identify the specific characteristics of the Chinese institutional background to be able to afterwards situate the private initiative conditions in historical terms and investigate the interactions of the entrepreneurs with this institutional environment.
