Evolutionary entrepreneurial ecosystems: a research pathway (2021, background): “Extensive research shows that universities can incubate and facilitate new venture spinoffs in an entrepreneurial ecosystem too (Cunningham et al., 2019; Hayter et al., 2018; Johnson et al., 2019; Miller & Acs, 2017; Nicholls-Nixon et al., 2020; Theodoraki et al., 2018).”
Entrepreneurial ecosystem elements (2019, neutral): “Borrowing from biology, the metaphor of an entrepreneurial ‘ecosystem’ is increasingly used by scholars (Stam 2015; Spigel 2017; Acs et al. 2017) and practitioners (Feld 2012; Isenberg 2010) for understanding the context for entrepreneurship in particular territories (countries, regions, cities).”
The governance of entrepreneurial ecosystems (2019, background): “…or overlapping boundaries, defined by the main and dominant agent like business ecosystems (Clarysse, et al., 2014), entrepreneurial ecosystems (Acs et al. 2015, 2017a,c; Stam, 2015), cities (Audretsch & Belitski, 2017), university ecosystem (Hayter, 2015, Wright et al., 2017), or defined in a…”
Institutions, entrepreneurship, and economic growth in Europe (2018, background): “The complex of interacting, multilevel institutions supporting productive entrepreneurship, recently labeled the Entrepreneurial Ecosystem (cf. Stam 2015; Acs et al. 2017), is notoriously hard to analyze empirically.”
Entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial ecosystems (2018, background): “In addition, there are several different kinds of ecosystems, of which the entrepreneurial type is only one (Acs et al., 2017; Gomes, Facin, Salerno, & Ikenami, 2016). Consequently, many different definitions have been offered (Table 3). Most definitions highlight the combination or interaction of e”
A systematic literature review of entrepreneurial ecosystems in advanced and emerging economies (2020, background): “The concept of entrepreneurial ecosystems has gained considerable attention from academics, policymakers, and practitioners over the past decade (Acs et al. 2014, 2017; Alvedalen and Boschma 2017; Audretsch and Belitski 2016; Auerswald 2015; Autio et al. 2018; Isenberg 2011; Mack and Mayer 2016;…”
The relevance of quantity and quality entrepreneurship for regional performance: the moderating role of the entrepreneurial ecosystem (2018, background): “From an academic perspective, its results help unveil the sometimes unclear relationship between entrepreneurial activity and territorial performance reported in previous studies (e.g., Acs et al., 2017; Ács & Varga, 2005).”
Entrepreneurial ecosystem research: present debates and future directions (2018, neutral): “Recently, Acs et al. (2017) have looked at the number of Unicorns (i.e. new ventures valued at more than $1 billion), considering this to be a measure of performance for an EE.”
The age of digital entrepreneurship (2019, background): “Sussan and Acs (2017) provide a framework to fill the gap in our understanding of entrepreneurship in the digital age based on the integration of entrepreneurial ecosystem (institutions and agents) and digital ecosystem (users, digital infrastructure) where the interactions of agents and users that…”
Twenty-five years of research on institutions, entrepreneurship, and economic growth: what has been learned? (2019, background): “Ács et al. (2014) and Acs et al. (2017) recognize that the national system of entrepreneurship is a new way to comprehend the functioning of the economic process, leveraged by entrepreneurs who are, at the same time, embedded in a particular environment.”
