“…They also present as an obstacle some economic risks, due to the creative activity being very expensive and risky (Madrid-Guijarro et al, 2009). Companies that will start an activity in the area of creativity may need some support, namely at a bureaucratic level and stability and initial funding (Mahn & Poblete, 2023).…”

The main objective of this study is to understand the role of creative industries in the sustainability of low-density territories. Primary data were gathered from semi-structured interviews’ transcripts. The interviews were applied to five creative entrepreneurs and heads of companies belonging to the creative industries, and four heads of local institutions, namely a university, two municipalities and a business incubator. The data were processed using NVivo software. The results obtained show that creative industries can be a solution to the problems identified in low-density territories, since creative companies reduce the unemployment rate and increase the population, thus reversing the depopulation of these territories. Creative industries also value local resources and the development of the local economy, thus enabling the emergence of innovation. This research’s findings include evidence of creative industries’ significant impact on low-density regions. In addition, this study demonstrates information and evidence on the role of creativity and this sector of creative companies, as well as the influence shown by creative entrepreneurs in the development of the region. The main limitations of this study are related, on the one hand, to the subjectivity of qualitative studies, due to the fact that the results can be interpreted in several ways. On the other hand, because only one territory was studied.

“…The knowledge-intensive entrepreneur is more likely to adopt new technologies because he has a greater capacity to take risks, explore new technologies, manage uncertainty and create opportunities (Malerba & McKelvey, 2020). The emergence of this type of entrepreneur is based on taking advantage of opportunities that arise from regional knowledge (Mahn & Poblete, 2022).…”

The Fourth Industrial Revolution has built upon the lessons learned from Covid-19 and has emphasized the urgent need for digital transformation in Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in Latin America. This study aims to identify the factors that can explain the varying degrees of adoption of digital technologies 4.0 (DT 4.0). The research analyzes the results of surveys conducted among 35 companies located in the Central Region of Argentina and the Biobio Region of Chile. By utilizing the Technology, Organization, and Environment (TOE) model of adoption and employing data science tools, such as cluster analysis (K-means) and decision trees (J48), the study parameterizes the different responses and generates valuable insights. Our work provides a complementary view to existing studies, analyzing the key factors in the adoption of DT 4.0 in a group of SMEs located in regions, not national capitals, of two Latin American countries with different growth models. The results highlight the significance of business leaders possessing knowledge of DT 4.0, the importance of having specialized human capital, and the need for an organizational culture that embraces innovation. Public policy should focus on transforming business leadership and organizational dynamics to stimulate digital transformation. JEL Classification: O330, O140, O570

“…Consequently, there are similar elements that, in conjunction with a strong ecosystem, support not only start-up activities in general but high-growth entrepreneurship too. These include informal institutions, especially institutional trust (Khlystova, Kalyuzhnova & Belitski, 2022) and economic freedom at the regional level (Bennett, 2021a), and institutions in combination with entrepreneurial talent for developing economies (Mahn & Poblete, 2022). entrepreneurial ecosystems generally amplify the effectiveness of public and social services by regional governments for supporting opportunity entrepreneurship (Wei, 2022).…”

Entrepreneurial ecosystems have developed from a powerful idea and concept into a transdisciplinary research program, increasing our understanding into entrepreneurship-led development and providing actionable knowledge for improving the conditions for entrepreneurship and development. In this paper we take stock of the progress to date and synthesize the findings of 181 empirical scientific entrepreneurial ecosystem studies with a systematic literature review. We organized the review around five key mechanisms that explain the nature and development of entrepreneurial ecosystems: (1) interdependence of its elements, (2) upward causation explaining entrepreneurial ecosystem outputs and (3) outcomes, (4) downward causation and path dependence, and (5) inter-ecosystem links. We summarize the findings and outline opportunities for research and discuss policy implications in the light of a transdisciplinary entrepreneurial ecosystem research program. This paper is of interest for scholars of all academic disciplines that provide knowledge that is relevant for the understanding of entrepreneurial ecosystems, entrepreneurship and entrepreneurship-led development, but also for all stakeholders involved in the development of entrepreneurial ecosystems.
