“…The lead author assembled an interdisciplinary team of academic collaborators, reflecting the systemic nature of the issue. For example, in a paper on crime and entrepreneurship (McDaniel et al, 2021), the team comprised academics from management (McDaniel, Sutter, Webb), race and inequality (Parker), and epidemiology (Elgar). Importantly, ER3 projects included a “problem owner” in the research team.…”

In this paper, we address recent calls to increase the societal relevance of entrepreneurship research. We explore how entrepreneurship researchers and practitioners work together in the formulation of a research problem for impact. Leveraging process-tracing, we analyzed six entrepreneurship research projects, from early conceptualization to publication, all part of the Journal of Business Venturing Insights’ Entrepreneurship Rapid Response Research Initiative. We made two discoveries, as it pertains to the formulation of problems in entrepreneurship research. First, we found four critical change dimensions, along which a problem evolves throughout the research process: worthiness, divisibility, centrality, and specificity. Second, we found two equifinal problem formulation pathways in impact-oriented entrepreneurship research: inward-looking iterative and outward-looking joint problem formulation. These are marked by drivers of the research project, timing of involvement of the practitioner, and interactions between researchers and practitioners, which influence the sequence of the four change dimensions in problem formulation. Our study contributes by theorizing problem formulation as a process, not a point in time, and hence intertwined with solutions, making the process consequential. We also offer concrete implications for entrepreneurship scholars wanting to engage in research that impacts practice.

“…Early work has emerged that studies the link between entrepreneurial ecosystems and a variety of outputs (as discussed in the previous section) and other outcomes as well. In terms of wider socio-economic benefits, entrepreneurial ecosystems have also been linked to sustainable innovation and addressing grand societal challenges (Khatami et al, 2022;Moggi, Pierce & Bernardi, 2022) and society more broadly (McDaniel et al, 2021;McDaniel, Ge & Yuan, 2022).…”

Entrepreneurial ecosystems have developed from a powerful idea and concept into a transdisciplinary research program, increasing our understanding into entrepreneurship-led development and providing actionable knowledge for improving the conditions for entrepreneurship and development. In this paper we take stock of the progress to date and synthesize the findings of 181 empirical scientific entrepreneurial ecosystem studies with a systematic literature review. We organized the review around five key mechanisms that explain the nature and development of entrepreneurial ecosystems: (1) interdependence of its elements, (2) upward causation explaining entrepreneurial ecosystem outputs and (3) outcomes, (4) downward causation and path dependence, and (5) inter-ecosystem links. We summarize the findings and outline opportunities for research and discuss policy implications in the light of a transdisciplinary entrepreneurial ecosystem research program. This paper is of interest for scholars of all academic disciplines that provide knowledge that is relevant for the understanding of entrepreneurial ecosystems, entrepreneurship and entrepreneurship-led development, but also for all stakeholders involved in the development of entrepreneurial ecosystems.

“…Recent contributions to this end include the role of entrepreneurship in mitigating healthcare crises (Ratten, 2021), reducing crime and violence (McDaniel et al, 2021), providing technological innovations for smart cities (Kraus et al, 2021), and for responding to wider social as well as environmental problems (e.g. St-Jean and Labelle, 2018).…”

Purpose Public service organizations (PSOs) face a critical dilemma: how to generate more value for society but with a much-reduced resource base. The article advances the strategy axis of entrepreneurial orientation (EO) research by examining EO and proactive market orientation (PMO) as joint-strategic approaches to this end, and how the characteristics of public managers may moderate the paths to value creation.Design/methodology/approach The article draws on a unique survey-based dataset developed from Brazilian PSOs and employs structural equation modelling for hypotheses testing. Post-hoc analysis, by way of analysis of variance, demonstrates the joint impact of the two strategic approaches on public service performance level.Findings Entrepreneurial and PMOs are revealed as routes to enhanced service performance, but managers’ domain expertise negatively moderates these relationships. Post-hoc analysis reveals how organizations displaying higher levels of both orientations realize superior performance, relative to those favouring either/or.Originality/value The study contributes new evidence for EO model specificity by examining a narrowly bounded sample of PSOs; addresses the neglect of other outcome variables beyond traditional performance, showing the value of EO for society and offers new insights to the managerial conditions that moderate the positive synergies between EO, PMO and service performance.
