This book aims to provide new approaches to analysing and thinking
about how entrepreneurial ecosystems develop and evolve over time as
well as shed light on the relatively unexplored area of
entrepreneurship ecosystem dynamics. The concept of entrepreneurial
ecosystems has emerged as a framework to understand the nature of
places in which entrepreneurial activity flourishes. Time is
fundamental to the analysis of the dynamics of an entrepreneurial
ecosystem. New firm creation, survival, growth and demise all occur
within a temporal context that is, over and within time. Systems
approaches to research invariably model the influential effects of the
actors and elements that shape, re-shape, maintain, shift and change
the system itself. An entrepreneurial ecosystem point of view,
therefore, is inherently time-dependent and provides an analytical
framework that reveals how the number and diversity of entrepreneurial
actors situated in a place and time influence the creation of new
firms, their survival, growth, and ultimately the stability of markets
and industry in a time and place. Whether for better or worse, the
historic and present time dimensions underpin the functioning and
trajectory of entrepreneurial ecosystem performances and how they are
shaped over time. Each chapter in this edited volume outlines a
particular perspective and/or a unique case drawn from a range of
countries that collectively reveal the dynamics of an ever-changing
entrepreneurial ecosystem. The chapters were originally published as a
special issue of the journal, Entrepreneurship and Regional
Development.
