Overview

This book features latest research insights into the study of the entrepreneurial ecosystem. The focus is on understanding its influence on the development of socially and physically defined ‘places’, and how these factors are related with each other. The book argues that regardless of how the concept of a ‘place’ is defined, be it cities, regions, nations or otherwise, the impact of new technologies will influence much of our business, social, and economic landscapes. Evidently, there is an increasing pressure on ‘places’ to embrace new opportunities for strategic development and confront complacency. The solution may very well be in creating and sustaining entrepreneurial ecosystems where entrepreneurial action thrives and innovation drives the new economy.

The interest in studies of entrepreneurial ecosystems is booming and this book contributes significantly to the modern understanding of what actually is an entrepreneurial ecosystem, how it contributes to the performance of businesses and how entrepreneurs participate in the social and economic development of specific places, what are the objective measures of ecosystems and how they may be applied to evaluate efficiency and performance.
