Abstract

 

This paper addresses the degree of entrepreneurship gap in Iranian Islamic banking sector from the view points of own-state banks and privet banks in Iran. Unlike conventional banks, Islamic banks operate within the boundaries of the Islamic Law (Shariah) (Naser and Moutinho, 1997). The results of this study show huge gap regarding entrepreneurship between own-state bankers and private bankers in Iran. The authors came to conclusion that private banks in Iran have higher tendency of higher entrepreneurship than own-state banks.

 

Key words: Banking, Islamic banking, entrepreneurship, and Iran.
