A Study of Key Indicators of Development for University-Based Entrepreneurship Ecosystems in Taiwan

Abstract

Theoretical concepts related to entrepreneurial ecosystems are currently in the initial stages of development and components of university-based entrepreneurial ecosystems (U-BEEs) are yet to be clarified or defined. This study identifies elements of U-BEEs and employs an analytic hierarchy process (AHP) to analyze university-based venture development organizations (VDOs) as research subjects. This study extracted six elements: namely policy, finance, culture, support, human capital, and market, comprising 31 evaluation indicators. The results of this study indicated that “market” was considered the most crucial of the six elements in Taiwan. Finally, this paper provides theoretical and practical implications based on the aforementioned findings.

Isenberg (2011) are found in the literature (Hsieh & Kelley, 2020; Liguori et al, 2019; Olutuase et al, 2018), causing the needs for generating and advancing the measurement of EE in the future studies, offering the opportunities for the expansion of the number of quantitative studies in EE literature, creating the significant variation within the research design trends in following periods.…”
