“…Building on this work, other studies have highlighted that improving the entrepreneurial ecosystem requires addressing the weakest elements or 'bottlenecks' (Aliabadi, Ataei & Gholamrezai, 2022;Szerb et al, 2022), but in some cases stronger elements can also compensate for weaker ones (Godley, Morawetz & Soga, 2021). This is rooted in the complex nature of ecosystems (Leendertse, Schrijvers & Stam, 2021;Stephens et al, 2022) and their potentially chaotic evolution (Cloutier & Messeghem, 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.

“…For the analysis, a primary dataset is used, which is derived from a project on SME competitiveness supported by the European Union. The GCP aims the identification of the competitiveness levels of SMEs in an international context by measuring and collecting information regarding the business‐level performance of resources and capabilities (Szerb et al, 2019). The methodology and the data collection process can be seen in Lafuente, Leiva, et al (2020) and Lafuente, Szerb, and Rideg (2020).…”

“…‘Networks can help firms expose themselves to new opportunities, obtain knowledge, learn from experiences and benefit from the synergistic effect of pooled resources’ (Chetty & Blankenburg Holm, 2000, p. 77). Several researchers have investigated the role of relationships and networks (Szerb et al, 2019) in the behaviour of SMEs (Brouthers et al, 1998; Child & Hsieh, 2014; Gronum et al, 2012) and argued that the decision‐makers' network of relationships has the potential to influence SMEs' strategic decisions. Moreover, SMEs rely on interpersonal relationships to gain knowledge of international market opportunities rather than systematic analysis based on market research (Ellis, 2000).…”

“…Factors that determine the competitiveness of businesses include the ability to innovate (for the definition, see Szerb et al, 2019) and its different forms of implementation, such as product, process and marketing innovation. The success of innovation is largely determined by the ability of businesses to access and rely on internal and external sources of information.…”

“…While several researchers have attempted to define competitiveness, in the present exploratory study, we start from the approach of Szerb et al (2019) because of the data source used for the empirical analysis. According to them, competitiveness is the ability to overcome competitors, which in the case of SMEs depends on the following characteristics and interrelated internal competencies: cooperation, internationalisation, human resources (HR), product/service offering, production, marketing, online presence, decision‐making and strategy.…”

This study contributes to the topic of small and medium‐sized enterprise (SME) decision‐making peculiarities from a resource‐based view (RBV). It provides empirical evidence on the relationship between the decision of SMEs and a variety of information sources. We analysed a comprehensive dataset drawn from the Global Competitiveness Project on SMEs' competitiveness, including cross‐sectional data of 784 businesses from eight countries. The extent of information used by SMEs is positively affected by the intensity of competition, networking and the existence of formal and informal relationships, the higher level of innovation activity and a more complex compensation system. We could only partially support the fact that the amount of information used by SMEs in decision‐making is positively influenced by their marketing practices. The SME leaders should consider the fact that their business is much smaller than their potential benchmarking counterparts, and a mere imitation of decision‐making‐related information sources is not necessarily leading to the desired outcome.
