Editorial: Advancing Innovation Ecosystem Research: Measurement Dynamics and Contextual Intelligence
这篇社论整合了特刊中的11篇文章，探讨如何在不同动态和情境下概念化、操作化并评估创新生态系统的绩效，指出当前研究的碎片化问题并展望未来方向。
This integrative editorial introduces the Special Issue (SI) on the evaluation of innovation ecosystem (IE) performance. While ecosystem perspectives have gained prominence across innovation, entrepreneurship, and strategy research, the systematic measurement of ecosystem performance remains theoretically fragmented and methodologically underdeveloped. Drawing on eleven SI articles, this editorial provides an integrative synthesis that advances understanding of how ecosystem performance can be conceptualised, operationalised, and evaluated across dynamic and contextual settings. We aim to identify cross-cutting patterns, unresolved challenges, and emerging research trajectories by synthesising the SI papers. The paper concludes with suggestions for future research aimed at fostering a richer conceptualization of innovation ecosystem performance.
