Where are the entrepreneurs? A call to theorize the micro-foundations and strategic organization of entrepreneurial ecosystems
指出创业生态系统理论过于强调宏观层面，呼吁关注企业家与生态系统之间的双向微观机制，并提出战略组织与创业生态系统交叉的研究议程。
The “entrepreneurial ecosystem” has become the dominant metaphor in theories explaining how location-specific forces influence entrepreneurship. Despite the progress made by scholars studying entrepreneurial ecosystems, in this essay we contend that the ecosystem metaphor has created an implicit tendency in entrepreneurship theory to emphasize macro-, ecosystem-level dynamics rather than the causal and mediating mechanisms linking entrepreneurs and their local ecosystems. To accompany the macro-dynamics focus in entrepreneurial ecosystem theory, we call for a micro-foundations approach that emphasizes the bidirectional connections between entrepreneurs’ strategizing and organizing activities and their ecosystems. We offer an agenda of theory development opportunities at the intersection of strategic organization and entrepreneurial ecosystems.
