This paper provides a case study of entry processes in a particular regional environment. The focus is based on the role of local economic structure and its evolution as main factors inducing and constraining individual decisions of new firm formation. The data emerges from a medium size city of the biggest Argentinian province with, contrasting with the evolution of the manufacturing sector at the national level, has shown a positive rate of new firm formation between the last two economic census (1984 and 1993). A survey of most salient contributions of the entry process is provided in the II section. Analysis of main components of the regional environment affectinf the level and the rate of new firm entrance suggest the absence of positive pull effects and prevalence of negative displacement effects. we emphasize that the nature of triggering factors of individual decisions about new firm creation constraints the quality of enterprises borned.
