Bringing together cutting-edge insights and critical perspectives, this Research Handbook advances the understanding of the development, dynamics, and different facets of entrepreneurial ecosystems.

Structured around seven compelling themes, this Research Handbook examines the foundations, the mindset, voice and practice of key actors, and distinct cross-cultural contexts of entrepreneurial ecosystems. Chapters consider the important role of academic entrepreneurship before exploring the governance and evolution of digital entrepreneurship and sustainable entrepreneurial ecosystems. They conclude by addressing one of the most challenging practice and policy issues, the measurement of entrepreneurial ecosystems. Adopting a broad contextualization approach that draws on empirical insights and perspectives from an array of geographical, institutional and cultural contexts, it paves the way for promising future research avenues in entrepreneurial ecosystems.

Interdisciplinary and thorough, this Research Handbook is an essential resource for students and scholars of social entrepreneurship, organizational innovation, and public policy and business management more broadly. Its explorations of place-based innovation and mission-oriented approaches to entrepreneurship will appeal to entrepreneurs and policymakers alike.
