In the qualitative section using purposeful sampling, the viewpoints of 15 startup experts were analyzed. In the quantitative section, the statistical population consisted of 1800 startup activists in Iran. Using the Cochran formula, a sample including 286 individuals was selected randomly. For data analysis, SPSS22 and AMOS24 software and frequency statistic in the descriptive section, and confirmatory factor analysis in the inferential section were used.

Today, entrepreneurship and rural business development are very important in developing countries. Entrepreneurial ecosystem is also considered as a context for the growth and development of rural businesses. Accordingly, the study is a literature review to analyze the role of the entrepreneurial ecosystem in the development of rural businesses. Despite the efforts made in various fields to develop rural entrepreneurship and business, but in practice, there is no proper growth and sustainability. Because entrepreneurs face many obstacles that result from the inappropriate of the entrepreneurial ecosystem. According to the results, the existence of a comprehensive approach in providing a favorable entrepreneurial ecosystem for the development of rural businesses is very important. On the other hand, regional characteristics, absolute, relative or competitive advantages in a rural area that are effective in business development should not be kept out of mind, Because each rural area, according to its own conditions and potentials, has its own entrepreneurial processes and different from other rural areas. Finally, practical and study suggestions are provided for those involved and researchers in this field.

Competitiveness of entrepreneurship makes it a critical strategy in global economy. But Iran's position in the field of entrepreneurship, according to available capacities and based on ten indicators of business is not so desirable. So that Iran in terms of "business blossoming" has been ranked 93th among the 144 countries and has ranked it in the 16th place among 20 countries in the 2012-2013 Annual Report which with "Qatar" as the first country in the region (with the rank 11th among 144 countries), 82 ranks away. It seems less attention has been paid to capacities and deficiencies in this sector and also the need for transformation it in a systematic approach. However, entrepreneurship development needs to take all the capacities and empowerment of the region into account. In fact, planning for the entrepreneurship development requires attention to various issues from different aspects which makes clear the necessity of applying the ecosystem approach. Entrepreneurial ecosystem is a new approach to thinking and acting for entrepreneurship development, so that all essential systems in the entrepreneurship development and how their interaction with each other will be considered. This entrepreneurship ecosystem consists of a dozen or so elements which can consolidate into six domains market, policy, financial capital, culture; supports and human capital. Thus in this article we discuss the entrepreneurial ecosystem and the need for systemic perspective at entrepreneurship.
