“…If two or more authors are jointly cited in another publication, the cited authors form a co-citation relationship. Thus, co-citation analysis enables the identification of the research themes that are attracting attention by citing authors (McCain, 1990;Kang et al, 2019;Zhao and Strotmann, 2015).…”

PurposeQuantitative bibliometric approaches were used to statistically and objectively explore patterns in the sharing economy literature.Design/methodology/approachJournal (co-)citation analysis, author (co-)citation analysis, institution citation and co-operation analysis, keyword co-occurrence analysis, document (co-)citation analysis and burst detection analysis were conducted based on a bibliometric data set relating to sharing economy publications.FindingsSharing economy research is multi- and interdisciplinary. Journals focused upon products liability, organizing framework, profile characteristics, diverse economies, consumption system and everyday life themes. Authors focused upon profile characteristics, sharing economy organization, social connections, first principle and diverse economy themes. No institution dominated the research field. Keyword co-occurrence analysis identified organizing framework, tourism industry, consumer behavior, food waste, generous exchange and quality cue as research themes. Document co-citation analysis found research themes relating to the tourism industry, exploring public acceptability, agri-food system, commercial orientation, products liability and social connection. Most cited authors, institutions and documents are reported.Research limitations/implicationsThe study did not exclusively focus on publications in top-tier journals. Future studies could run analyses relating to top-tier journals alone, and then run analyses relating to less renowned journals alone. To address the potential fuzzy results concern, reviews could focus on business and/or management research alone. Longitudinal reviews conducted over several points in time are warranted. Future reviews could combine qualitative and quantitative approaches.Originality/valueWe contribute by analyzing information relating to the population of all sharing economy articles. In addition, we contribute by employing several quantitative bibliometric approaches that enable the identification of trends relating to the themes and patterns in the growing literature.

“…Concepts of EE supplement entrepreneurship research by providing a systemic framework for established theories (Ferreira et al 2019). Despite the pending consolidation in terms of definitions and frameworks (Kang et al 2019;Spigel and Harrison 2018;Stam 2015), two major research streams can be distinguished in the literature. The first stream provides an actor-centric view of entrepreneurship (Stam 2015), which focuses on social systems, configurations, and networks as a focal point of entrepreneurship (Theodoraki et al 2018).…”

“…Previous research showed that entrepreneurial activity is strongly influenced by the spatial context (Korsgaard et al 2015). Recent EE research underlined the need for a better understanding of how entrepreneurs' environment affects their entrepreneurial activities (Kang et al 2019;Stam 2015). Among existing work of EE (for examples of EE frameworks see Harrison 2018 andStam 2015), the regional EE model of de Villiers Scheepers et al (2018) highlights three subsystems, which enable value creation in a regional EE.…”

Regional entrepreneurial ecosystems: how family firm embeddedness triggers ecosystem development

et al. 2021

Regional business development is driven by family firms, which are generally deeply embedded in their region, particularly in rural areas. This study explores how family entrepreneurs’ embeddedness drives an entrepreneurial ecosystem as a regional context for innovation. For this purpose, the study brings together entrepreneurship research on embeddedness and on ecosystems, and develops the entrepreneurial ecosystem embeddedness framework to better understand the connection of entrepreneurs to their local environment along three dimensions. Analyzing qualitative interviews from the hospitality context with a pattern matching approach, we highlight the role of family entrepreneurs’ (1) horizontal embeddedness in the economic and socio-political environment, their (2) vertical embeddedness in industry regimes, in particular the family, and their (3) spatial embeddedness in the region for value creation. Thereby we contribute to a differentiated understanding of how embeddedness as a social fabric relates to entrepreneurial ecosystems. The propositions of this study recommend raising awareness for managing entrepreneurs’ embeddedness along these three dimensions since unilateral engagement and a lack of coordinated embeddedness can restrict value creation.

“…However, research on behaviors, inter-dependencies and relational governance in entrepreneurial ecosystems remains substantially underdeveloped and represents a crucial barrier to understanding when and why ecosystems flourish or flounder. (Aarikka-Stenroos and Ritala 2017; Kang et al 2019;Scott et al 2019;Spigel 2017). We attempt to address this critical oversight and contribute to a network-based view of entrepreneurial ecosystems (Spigel 2017).…”

“…Within this stream, authors focus their efforts on the factors that influence access to and use of interactions within complex and broader social environments. While promising results have emerged, this body of work is still in its infancy (Mueller and Jungwirth 2016;Kang et al 2019). Central to this research is the emerging pattern among descriptive accounts of the dependency the entrepreneurial ecosystems have on local conditions (Cavalo et al 2018).…”

Towards a network-based view of effective entrepreneurial ecosystems

We conceptualize entrepreneurial ecosystems as fundamentally reliant on networks and explore how and under what conditions inter-organizational networks lead an entrepreneurial ecosystem to form and evolve. It is widely accepted that entrepreneurial ecosystems possess a variety of symbiotic relationships. Research has focused considerable efforts in refining the structure and content of resources found within these networked relationships. However, merely focusing on actor-level characterizations dilutes the notion that social relationships change and are complex. There has been little conceptual treatment of the behavioral and governance factors that underpin how quality interactions composing an entrepreneurial ecosystem develop and change over time. In response, we provide a longitudinal ethnographic study examining how ecosystems are managed and evolve in their relational configurations and governance at critical junctures. Using mixed methods and data collected over 3 years, we reveal a cyclical process of relational development central to the initiation, development, and maintenance phases of a valuable entrepreneurial ecosystem. We contribute to a conceptualization of effective ecosystems as reliant on networks, we reveal the behavior and governance characteristics at play in the entrepreneurial ecosystem during each phase of its evolution.
