“…This confirms the view that more attention needs to be paid to the entrepreneurial propensity of innovation systems (RADOSEVIC and YORUK 2013 (TOEDTLING and TRIPPL, 2005;MELANCON and DOLOREUX, 2013). They also suggest that the importance of entrepreneurial 'agency' within innovation systems needs to be better reflected within the systemic innovation literature (ACS et al, 2014).…”

A Post-Mortem of Regional Innovation Policy Failure: Scotland's Intermediate Technology Initiative (ITI)

The Intermediate Technology Initiative (ITI) was one of the most ambitious 'systemic' regional innovation policy instruments developed in the UK in recent years. However, little of the ITI's anticipated outputs materialised and the programme was prematurely terminated. This paper examines the reasons for its failure which largely centred on the programme's inappropriate design. The findings suggest that greater recognition needs to be given to the specificities of local entrepreneurial ecosystems when designing, aligning and executing systemic innovation policy instruments. It is argued that paying greater attention to policy failures could potentially help innovation scholars better understand how innovation systems function.

“…Because of its (eco)systemic character, the productivity of these geographical units is 3 affected by the performance of any of their components (Ács et al, 2014). By productivity we understand what Radosevic and Yoruk (2013) call 'entrepreneurial propensity', i.e., the local capacity to generate and exploit innovation-oriented opportunities through the doings of entrepreneurs. In the same vein, Audretsch et al (2006) make reference to 'entrepreneurship capital', understood as the capacity of local-level institutions fostering entrepreneurial activity.…”

Knowledge-intensive entrepreneurship is unevenly distributed in geographical space, which is largely attributed to heterogeneous endowments in terms of knowledge, institutions, resources and demand. Nonetheless, specialized literature faces a lack of approaches dealing with the evolutionary dynamics of Entrepreneurial Ecosystems' components. Based on these foundations, we hypothesize that entrepreneurial ecosystems can assume different configurations, i.e., varying combinations of influential dimensions that can generate similar outcomes in terms of entrepreneurial intensity. In order to address this proposal we use Qualitative Comparative Analysis with fuzzy sets to assess city-lvel data from the State of São Paulo, Brazil.

Abstract.One of the main goals of many educational courses at various colleges, especially those which focus on applied economics and management, is the development of students' entrepreneurship skills. It is usually accomplished through various project-oriented tasks. The development of the students' entrepreneurship skills is also the primary objective of the E-commerce course offered by our Faculty of Economics. This course combines theoretical knowledge and practical skills. Students work on a number of practical exercises with the aim to create a functional e-shop. They have to look for business opportunities, understand economic processes, work within a team, and be able to promote their ideas, strategies, and procedures. Finally, yet most importantly, they must not be afraid to present and defend their solutions. This study examines whether and to what extent this approach contributes to the development of skills which are usually associated with entrepreneurship. The exploration was performed based on students' evaluation. Means-end chain model and hierarchical value map approach were chosen as a research method. The results of this research show that entrepreneurship skills are being developed except for a motivation of students to accept a risky business competitive environment. However, the propensity to take risk is one of the basic traits of successful entrepreneurs. Our future effort will aim therefore at modifying our educational content. Greater emphasis will be placed on how to teach students to accept competitive environment which is risky and mostly unpredictable.
