“…Understanding the necessity to design the ideal environment that reinforces entrepreneurs, researchers have discovered a new paradigm lately in entrepreneurship called the EE (Grigore and Dragan, 2020;Mokhtarzadeh et al, 2020a, b). The metaphor ecosystem originally stems from ecology but is adopted by management scholars in organizational theories, where it is used in a systemic approach to study complex social phenomena (Hern andez-Chea et al, 2021;Dorcheh et al, 2021). This metaphor has received much popularity among academics, practitioners and policymakers as a concept that describes, explains and presents thoughts, frameworks and viewpoints on how economic agents interact with their environment (Audretsch et al, 2019).…”

“…Successful entrepreneurship activities depend on the influential work of several interconnected actors, like governments, private sectors, societies, universities and entrepreneurs, which create an ecosystem (Bouncken and Kraus, 2022). Hence, new studies have embarked on broader contexts with a systemic approach in which the concept of the EE has emerged (Hernández-Chea et al. , 2021).…”

PurposeThe study aims to identify the dynamic complexities and development points of the entrepreneurial ecosystem (EE) in the agricultural sector of Iran to improve production factors' productivity, including arable land, water resources and human capital.Design/methodology/approachFirst, the EE of the agricultural sector in Iran was designed following Isenberg's framework. Then, the main variables and interrelationships of the variables in each context of the ecosystem, called subsystems, were formulated using the system dynamics (SD) approach. Next, the model was simulated and validated. Afterward, different policy options were identified, embedded into the model structure and simulated. Finally, the best policy group was selected.FindingsAccording to Isenberg's EE model, three groups of policies were identified and evaluated, including “entrepreneurship development financing and investment policy,” “agricultural ecosystem's supportive services development policy” and “production factors productivity development policy.” According to the simulation results, the best combination of the solution strategies was recognized. The presented SD-EE model has a generic nature in the agricultural sector and could be modified to be applied in different regions for policy-making purposes.Originality/valueThe main contribution of the study is twofold. First, Isenberg's EE framework is applied to structure the main subsystems and interrelationships of the subsystems in the agricultural sector that has previously received limited attention. Second, the research is the first to operationalize the basic theory of Isenberg's EE in practice applying a robust systemic modeling methodology like SD.

“…In addition, the entrepreneurial ecosystem has attracted the attention of academic scholars and policymakers (Alvedalen & Boschma, 2017;Abootorabi et al, 2021). Academic scholars have investigated the entrepreneurship ecosystem in various sectors (Hernández-Chea et al, 2021), cities (Spigel, 2017), the evolution of the entrepreneurship ecosystem (Abootorabi et al, 2021), the role of intermediary organizations in the entrepreneurship ecosystem (Hernández-Chea et al, 2021) and the influence of entrepreneurship ecosystems on business re-entries after failure (Guerrero & Espinoza-Benavides, 2021). The entrepreneurship ecosystem has been defined as the advanced social-economic level comprising not only the self-organization components but also the scalability and sustainability of entrepreneurship (Acs, et al, 2018).…”

This paper aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of the entrepreneurial ecosystem of Austria. The study used the Global Entrepreneurship Index (GEI) method and the Penalty for Bottleneck (PFB) to achieve this objective. The findings revealed a moderated entrepreneurial ecosystem with a GEI score of 65.2%. Again, the study found a strong correlation between Austria's GDP per capita and the GEI scores and a moderate score for all the three sub-indices entrepreneurial attitudes (65.5), entrepreneurial abilities (67.6), and entrepreneurial aspirations (62.4). Using the Penalty for Bottleneck (PFB) method, the study identified high growth and human capital as the bottleneck pillars. To shun the bottlenecks related to high growth, accessibility of finance, and formulation of sophisticated strategy at the institutional level are paramount, especially during this highly competitive technological era. Also, to alleviate the human capital bottleneck, the government should draw up policies that will help boost education at the tertiary level, especially at an individual level. Further empirical research can be conducted to compare the entrepreneurial ecosystem of EU countries. This study adds to the existing literature on entrepreneurship which is scanty. Additionally, this paper highlights the bottlenecks in Austria's Entrepreneurial Ecosystem and provides possible alternative policies that can enhance the entrepreneurial ecosystem if implemented.

The recent development of cross-functional project initiatives and implementation of remote technology applications is changing the leader and team member working environment that influences their interaction and collaboration with other teams/customers/stakeholders/ providers/any related parties to compete in the rising digitalization and VUCA (volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity) situation. This research wants to dissect how the influence of hybrid workplace leadership capabilities on the awareness, understanding, and learning agility of cross-functional project team members to foster team perception alignment and achieve strengthened collaboration. Researcher dissects individual team members' mental processes (awareness of the intended purpose, understanding of self-others, and learning agility) that connect leadership capability and team perception alignment to enhance collaboration during hybrid workplace implementation. This study is a quantitative research methodology, collecting data through a questionnaire survey and then analyzing data from 99 respondents using Partial Least Squares Structural Equations Model (PLS-SEM). Based on the result of this study, hybrid workplace leadership impacts the awareness of purpose. Then awareness affects the understanding of self and others, and both affect the learning agility of each team member, which influences the alignment of perceptions in the work team. This alignment of perceptions contributes to the collaboration process with other teams/organizations.
