Influence of entrepreneurial ecosystems on innovation ecosystems in peripheral regions: the case of the Champagne-Ardenne region
研究了外围地区创业生态系统的16个属性如何影响创新生态系统的协同、创新和价值共创,以法国香槟-阿登地区为例,发现创业成功故事和本地领导力有正面影响,而利益相关者权力失衡和人力资本不稳定有负面影响。
The relationship between innovation ecosystems (IEs) and entrepreneurial ecosystems (EEs), particularly in peripheral regions (PRs), is understudied. Our aim is to explore the attributes of EEs in PRs and their influence on IE outcomes (i.e. synergies, innovations, and value co-creation). Specifically, we established a framework of 16 attributes grouped into cultural, social, and material categories and highlighted some of the strengths and weaknesses of EEs in PRs. We then used this framework for Champagne-Ardenne, a French PR, through a qualitative study of 15 key stakeholders in EEs. Results indicate that of the 16 attributes, 4 have two main positive effects (entrepreneurial success stories and local leadership and governance) and two main negative effects (stakeholder power imbalance and precarious human capital) on IE outcomes. The remaining attributes show mixed effects on IE outcomes. We suggest that entrepreneurs and policymakers improve IE outcomes by considering the specific impact of these attributes.
