Abstract	"Much research has been dedicated recently to the analysis of entrepreneurial and start-up activities. This book concentrates on the medium- to long-term development of firm founding activity, asking if and how changes in industry start-up rates can be identified and explained. Fornahl's aim is to develop a framework with which to focus on development and change in regional firm founding activities, using empirical evidence to analyse some processes responsible for this development. Much of the study in this area neglects considering possible changes in environmental circumstances when looking at such development, assuming a static context. Fornahl focuses in on this muck overlooked area, using two research concepts: the first concentrates on changes in regional firm founding activities, looking at empirical evidence based on the analysis of 50 German regions, the second concentrates on positive examples or 'role models' that can lead to change in regional start-up activities, analysing their Impact theoretically and empirically in the German town of Jena" Die Untersuchung enthält quantitative Daten. Forschungsmethode: Theoriebildung; Grundlagenforschung; empirisch-quantitativ; empirisch; Längsschnitt; Fallstudie. Die Untersuchung bezieht sich auf den Zeitraum 1990 bis 2001.
