Dynamic Intuitionistic Fuzzy Evaluation of Entrepreneurial Support in Countries

Entrepreneurship includes various activities including starting a new business from scratch, creating and developing new business areas for existing organizations. The countries should provide a supportive entrepreneurial environment since entrepreneurship is the key element for the sustainable growth of a country. In order to improve entrepreneurial support, the level of support should be measured with different dimensions in the various periods. In this study, a dynamic intuitionistic fuzzy evaluation method is developed for determining entrepreneurial support within a country. Five countries are evaluated with the proposed method, and a sensitivity analysis is conducted to show the robustness of the model.
