“…SLRs have become more popular in recent times, especially in the field of entrepreneurship [32,[40][41][42][43]. The methodology of SLRs has evolved and has become more precise mainly due to the evolution of technology and the existence of electronic databases.…”

“…This search returned 29.189 results. Afterwards, on phase 3, the results were limited to "article" or "review documents", omitting books and book chapters, since articles and reviews can be considered validated knowledge and can have the most impact on the area of research interest [50][51][52][53], which returned Inspired by the methodological design adopted by [32], due to the number of publications found and in order to achieve quality in this SLR, only publications with more than 20 citations were chosen, from 2005 to 2019. For the years of 2020 and 2021, as these are the most recent publications and have not reached more than 20 citations, the previous criteria were not used.…”

“…Through an extensive SLR on entrepreneurial ecosystems, the terms: "innovation", "clusters", and "open innovation"; were identified as the three most relevant characteristics for entrepreneurial ecosystems, influencing a new definition for this complex concept, where these are identified as an environment where entrepreneurship can flourish, aided by an ensemble of various independent players and factors [32]. In a "closed innovation" model, a company does not search for ideas and knowledge form outside its boundaries, but instead the company generates, develops, and markets its own knowledge [33].…”

This review aims to identify the typologies of business incubators (BI) and business accelerators (BA) and to define a taxonomy integrating both the BI’s and BA’s characteristics and services portfolio, facilitating the adoption of open innovation practices. A systematic literature review (SLR) was carried out encompassing the research topic concerning the relationship between the incubation structures and the performance of technology-based ventures. This comprehensive SLR encompasses a total of 1614 publications, aiming to advance the knowledge on BI and BA. This SLR allowed for the identification of current trends and future challenges, as well as of the most important authors, publications, and journals in this research framework. This SLR establishes a new taxonomy for BI and BA, based upon three main pillars: human capital, social capital, and organizational capital. BI and BA help in the development of new high-technology ventures, by being facilitators for open innovation practices. This SLR is limited by the literature, as the collection of publications was performed exclusively through ISI Web of Science (WoS). Further research can be made into the modes of how these structures impact open innovation practices at the regional level using a knowledge spillover approach.

“…The selection of factors to turn places more attractive to enterprise and how the EE development is carried emphasizes the importance of a systemic overview of the concept. This is noted by De Brito and Leitão [43] since there is a preponderance on the constituents of the EE and its interaction among research results.…”

Entrepreneurial Ecosystems and Entrepreneurial Initiative: Building a Multi-Country Taxonomy

2021

The main goal of this article is to appraise the existence of different patterns of the Entrepreneurial Ecosystems, to identify its relationship with Entrepreneurial Initiative, and recommend entrepreneurship policies that may influence the growth of entrepreneurial action. Without evidence on entrepreneurial ecosystems landscape and what determinants stimulate entrepreneurship in a given environment, policies could become flawed and miss the target. To address research purposes, the analysis was performed using data extracted from the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) Database carried out between 2010 and 2016. To ensure a longitudinal perspective, it was used a balanced panel approach followed by Logistic Regression estimations. The article offers a novel and systematic approach, the Entrepreneurial Ecosystem Taxonomy, to overcome a disaggregated perspective on entrepreneurial ecosystems, between individual and context levels. Empirical findings capture four different country profiles, based on two measures: Entrepreneurial ecosystems and entrepreneurial initiative. The results allow to compare the four groups and appraise significant disparities around entrepreneurship determinants, namely, the education factor. While education is commonly recognized as a positive influence on entrepreneurship, the results suggest a contradictory effect. The existence of differentiated profiles and its determinants points outs the importance of developing specific entrepreneurship policy packages attending group specificities.

“…Thus, is it suggested that entrepreneurship may be a catalyst for economic growth and national competitiveness. In fact, as [3] explain in their extensive systematic literature review on entrepreneurial ecosystems, the growing interest in this topic is being guided largely by the interest demonstrated by policy makers in increasing entrepreneurial activity via the creation of new companies and promotion of self-employment.…”

Entrepreneurship is a theme of global interest, and it is the subject of investigations conducted by many researchers and projects. In particular, the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor project is a global project that involves several countries and years of surveys on entrepreneurship indicators. This study focuses on the 12 indicators of the entrepreneurial ecosystem defined by the Entrepreneurial Framework Conditions (EFCs). The EFCs are specifically related to the quality of the entrepreneurial ecosystem. Using clustering techniques, the present study analyzes how European experts’ perceptions on the EFCs of their home country have changed between 2000 and 2019. The main finding is the existence of significant differences between the clusters obtained over the years and between countries. Therefore, in theoretical terms, this dynamical behavior in relation to the entrepreneurial conditions of economies should be considered in future works, namely, those concerning the definition of the number of clusters, which, according to the internal validation measures computed in this work, should be two.
