Abstract

Business and Management

entrepreneurship

start-ups

small business development

networks

systems

ecosystems

With innovation and entrepreneurship said to be the saving grace for Australia's economic future,there is a pressing need to unravel the complexities of entrepreneurial ecosystems as a conducive context for cultivating new businesses initiatives. This paper reports on the deconstruction and analysis of the entrepreneurial ecosystem concept, as undertaken in a symposium by a group of international scholars interested in advancing this pre-paradigmatic perspective. Consistencies, contrasts and contributions from theoretical paradigms - particularly business networks and systems thinking - are explored to reveal parallels and divergences. The concepts of place and dynamics specifically emerge as potentially making a significant contribution toward advancing our current understanding of entrepreneurial ecosystems and provide a potential path forward for research and policy investigations.
