“…A boundary condition on the theorizing, which represents an important avenue for future research, is that the theory focuses on munificent (Spigel & Harrison, 2018) TEEs that can offer teacher entrepreneurs a rich array of social, cultural, and material resources. However, it is also necessary to consider how non-vibrant TEEs with unmunificent characteristics (e.g., limited public funding), that are unable to offer a developed ecosystem of supporting forces and resources, and that have institutional voids or low institutional development (Bendickson et al, 2021; Wu et al, 2021) influence teacher entrepreneurs’ conditions and characteristics. Research could examine, for instance, how and to what extent teacher entrepreneurs in rural or small town TEEs, which generally are not as resource-endowed as large, urban entrepreneurial ecosystems, make the most of the resources in their local communities.…”

Teacher entrepreneurs pursue innovative opportunities to create value for their students and colleagues; however, it is unclear how local communities enable teacher entrepreneurs and why some communities provide fertile ground for teacher entrepreneurship while others stifle teacher entrepreneurs. To address the limited understanding of how communities can support teacher entrepreneurship, this paper draws from entrepreneurial ecosystems research and the micro-foundations approach to develop a multi-level framework to explain the attributes of “teacher entrepreneurial ecosystems.” The main insight is that where teachers engage in entrepreneurship matters and that, in addition to teacher- and school-based characteristics, important contextual differences exist at the community-level in the depth of support for teacher entrepreneurs. Specifically, the theory explains how key differences in teacher entrepreneurial ecosystems influence teacher entrepreneurship and, in turn, how the activities of teacher entrepreneurs influence the diversity, coherence, and resilience of their ecosystems. The theory contributes by explaining how teacher entrepreneurial ecosystems function, motivating an agenda for studying teacher entrepreneurial ecosystems that catalyzes research at the entrepreneurial ecosystem and education interface, and generating insights that can help teachers and school administrators to harness their local communities and empower teacher entrepreneurs.

“…Part of the explanation is that economic activity is socially embedded within a larger network of relationships (Granovetter 2017;Fernandes and Ferreira 2021) as non-institutional drivers of entrepreneurship (e.g., networks and thus relationships) also play an important role in entrepreneurship ecosystems (Bendickson et al 2020).…”

“…Finally, the net result will be an increase in innovation due to an increase of information. To summarize, the role of cyber commerce is to move up the resources of the ecosystems (finance, customers, employees) to a higher level, which in the process expands upon the options that an entrepreneur can utilize (Liguori et al 2019;Bendickson et al 2020;Lange et al 2021).…”

Technological Innovation and the expansion of Entrepreneurship Ecosystems

et al. 2022

To date much of the entrepreneurial ecosystems literature treated ecosystems as confined geographic locations with definitive boards. However, in the past decades, technological innovation and developments in social relationships (e.g., online platforms, social media, and the sharing economy) have extended and blurred the boundaries of entrepreneurial ecosystems. Thus, current research on entrepreneurial ecosystems often underestimates the reach and impacts of a given ecosystem. To remedy this, we advocate the use of a more holistic approach in modern entrepreneurial ecosystems frameworks which includes social relationships and technology, thus extending beyond geographical barriers. We discuss how technology has dissolved locational barriers and connected elements of ecosystems, how social relationships maximize advantages through greater resource access, and how the entrepreneurship ecosystem now exists on a plane that is both physical and cyber.

“…This focus on knowledge creation within an environment may result in the development of innovative clusters and enhanced entrepreneurial ecosystems. While clusters represent similar firms within a geographic region focused on similar economic activities (Breschi and Malerba 2001;Clarkson et al 2007), entrepreneurial ecosystems represent the collection of firms and domains of entrepreneurship that support these ventures and include six distinct areas: policies, finance, culture, supports, human capital, and markets (Liguori et al 2019;Bendickson et al 2020).…”
