“…and that Innovation Norway (national and regional support agency for entrepreneurship and innovation) and actors in the capital environment or elsewhere deliberately make available to the entrepreneur. Informal resources arise as the result of experience and social interactions and are therefore harder to acquire (Pocek, 2022). They include resources such as the experience and competence of other entrepreneurs and employees, surplus resources following exits and failed projects and other resources that the entrepreneur must identify, locate and seek out.…”

“…From the outside, PEAK Sunnfjord comes across as a progressive environment intended to inspire individuals. The proximity this environment provides to the other actors described in cluster theory suggests that it also makes it easier for companies to compare themselves to others (Pocek, 2022) while it also creates motivation for development, something Porter which described as follows: ‘[ P]eer pressure, pride, and the desire to look good in the community spur executives to outdo one another’ (1998, p. 83).[PEAK is] a very progressive environment and it’s very much like everyone wishes you well and for the person next to you to do at least as well yourself […]. So that you’re also able to compare yourself, you know, to bigger companies.…”

Entrepreneurial ecosystem theory can be described as a continuation of traditional cluster theory and regional innovation system theory, the difference being that entrepreneurial ecosystem theory takes the entrepreneur as its focal point. This study explores the extent to which current frameworks can explain the dynamics of a rural ecosystem. We apply a single-case-study research design to a rare, rural and vibrant business ecosystem in western Norway in order to discuss the various elements of entrepreneurial ecosystem theory. Furthermore, we look at the assumption of the bottom-up approach that growth is generated principally by the main entrepreneurial actors. This study makes a clear distinction between formal and informal resources in the ecosystem and shows the key importance of access to informal resources. The study shows how the rural ecosystem is driven from the bottom up and thus offers valuable lessons to practitioners seeking to understand and facilitate the dynamics of rural entrepreneurial business.

“…The actors can establish collaborative relations (complementary) or competitive ones (substitute) with or without the focal firm. The focal firm represents the entity that orchestrates the ecosystem (Pocek, 2022). The institution refers to policies, regulations, institutions themselves and the authors connect this term to "the rule of the games".…”

PurposeThis research aims to shed new lights on the most shared constructs developed on Innovation Ecosystems, Entrepreneurial Ecosystems and Technology Transfer Ecosystem proposing an additional stand-alone ecosystem.Design/methodology/approachThis research is built upon a qual-quantitative analysis of an empirical case. The latter analysis is performed through a single case study methodology on the San Giovanni Hub of the Federico II University of Naples.FindingsEvidences show how a technological hub orchestrates three main ecosystems for the knowledge exploitation: the technology transfer ecosystem, devoted to gather knowledge form universities' labs towards industries; the innovation ecosystem, able to manage the exploration and exploitation of new knowledge and techniques; the entrepreneurial ecosystem, that supports startup/spinoff creation process.Research limitations/implicationsLimitations mainly concern the fact that it is centred on just one case study.Practical implicationsPractical implications imply new opportunities of collaboration involving different stakeholders as university administrators, researchers, businesses and policymakers, creating a supportive environment for innovation.Originality/valueThe research offers a new vision about the role of Universities as creators and enablers of ecosystems pursuing diverse value propositions. The Academic Innovation Ecosystem is a new conceptualization of this role played by a university, and it can convey innovation and entrepreneurial attitude within its ecosystem leveraging on the transfer of university knowledge and technology.

“…These co-evolutionary dynamics are the result of the interactions of individuals and organizations within ecosystems. These interactions are enabled by (predominantly informal) institutions but also constantly co-create them (Lowe & Feldman, 2017;Pocek, 2022). These interactions are not one-off in most cases and represent repeated patterns and behaviors (Feldman & Lowe, 2018).…”

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.
