What distinguishes an entrepreneurial ecosystem (EE) that supports entrepreneurial dynamics from one that does not? Despite being a hot issue, several scholars address the paucity of empirical studies that attempt to explain the overall functioning of EEs. To provide this perspective, we present a novel study of the theoretical and methodological facets of the interorganizational […]

Entrepreneurial ecosystem (EE) research requires a better understanding of its various configurations and processes at its whole scale to open its black box and create new theoretical opportunities. We designed exploratory research to longitudinally observe network behaviors between EE ‘species’ in four territories (3 in Africa, 1 in France) from 2017 to 2021 by observing […]

What makes one specific Entrepreneurial Ecosystem (EE) more conducive to entrepreneurial activity than another? We mobilize ecosystem and network theories to describe EE processual patterns having an impact on Entrepreneurial Dynamics outcomes. We targeted low-income environments to identify the EE effect. An empirical and exploratory research was conducted based on quantitative graph theory, using big […]

EE research is a hot topic, and considerable progress has been made as regards its elements, network, and actors’ components. However, some scholars regret the absence of an empirical analysis of EE as a whole to understand how EE configuration […]
