Knowledge-Related Resourcefulness for Growth in Weak Entrepreneurial Ecosystems
通过对中美洲78位成长导向创业者的访谈，研究他们如何在弱创业生态系统中通过重新定位网络目标和组装网络代理，利用本地和远程生态系统的知识来促进企业增长。
Entrepreneurs need to access knowledge to grow, but weak entrepreneurial ecosystems tend to lack the types of knowledge that foster venture growth. To explore how entrepreneurs can act resourcefully as they overcome local ecosystem deficiencies in efforts to grow, we conducted 78 interviews with growth-oriented entrepreneurs in Central America. These entrepreneurs, perceiving that their ecosystem was subordinate to stronger ecosystems, challenged local knowledge, prompting them to engage in knowledge-related resourcefulness, which involves reorienting network targets (resourceful cognition) and assembling network tie proxies (resourceful behavior), to leverage benefits from both local and distant entrepreneurial ecosystems in pursuit of steady organic growth.
