Abstract
It is widely believed that some society/culture is more conducive to entrepreneurship than others. In line with this belief this paper explores and assesses the potential of Bangladesh as a springboard for entrepreneurship in terms of its socio-cultural setting. It offers a sketch of the socio-cultural environment of Bangladesh in terms of labor supply and labor quality, cultural milieu, religion, prevalence of security, social marginality and entrepreneurship education and training. It is observed that Bangladesh seems to be placed at the juxtaposition of both positive and negative socio-cultural forces for the development of entrepreneurship.
